The new format’s food intake feature doesn’t allow scanning of barcodes. Also, the food values aren’t always accurate. For example, I may have to have 4 slices of bread to get the correct calorie count for 2 slices of bread. These need to be fixed.
Good catch barcode scanning and accurate food database entries are crucial, otherwise tracking loses reliability; Basant Club also comes to mind as a reminder that any system, whether health tracking or apps, only works well when the core data and usability stay consistent and accurate.
Accurate food tracking and barcode scanning are basic features now, so having incorrect serving counts can really throw off nutrition goals. I also prefer tools that can Compress video without losing quality when reporting bugs or showing app issues clearly.
