Hi all,

 

Has anyone else noticed that the barscanning feature for food logging is significantly worse than that used by MyFitnessPal? I dont want to have to use two different apps which is why I recently swapped to FitBit, but in terms of convenience it really is worse.

 

Has there been any news on this or any reasons?

 

Cheers!

Hello @Dagless! A very warm welcome to the Community.

 

Please keep in mind that MFP and Fitbit use different databases for the bar code scanning. We're always looking for ways to improve the overall Fitbit experience. For the time being, you could manually enter any food that isn't tracked, or you could connect your MFP account to your Fitbit one.

 

Please let me know if you have any further questions on the situation.
