Update 7/19/2018: This issue is now resolved, please ensure your app is updated if you still experiencing this issue. We appreciate everyone's patience and cooperation as we worked on a fix. I'll be closing this for further reports. If you are experiencing any new issues with food logging, please start a new thread.


 

Update 7/18/2018: Thanks again everyone for your reports. Glad to hear the update has corrected food logging issues for many.

 

If you are still experiencing this issue, we would love to investigate further. The following would help our team review:  

      • Are you already updated to 2.53.1? 
      • What is the OS version that you are running on your iPhone?  
      • What food database are you using?(See Account>Advanced Settings>Food Database).
      • What language are you using the app in? 
      • What foods are you trying to log? 
      • What specific interaction are you doing that is not working? (Adding, editing, deleting, scanning).
      • What time/date did you see the issue? 

We appreciate the additional details. 


 

Fitbit Update 07/16/2018: Hey everyone -- We have just released an update to the Fitbit app for iOS, version 2.53.1 which we believe resolves the issues with food logging that have been reported in this thread. Please update to 2.53.1 and let me know of the results so I can quickly communicate that to our iOS team.

 

Again, thank you for your continued patience as we worked to get this resolved ASAP.


Update 7/15/2018: 

 

Thanks everyone for your patience on this. We sincerely apologize to anyone who has been affected by this issue and have been working hard to find a fix. We are preparing to roll out an update tomorrow, July 16th to solve the problem. In the meantime, customers can use the food logging feature in the web dashboard: https://www.fitbit.com/foods/log.


Update 7/14/2018: We do realize this is a critical issue and our team continues to work on the cause and a fix. We don't provide timelines, in case something occurs and it can't be met, but we hope to have a resolution soon. Thank you again for your patience, reports, and cooperation.


Update 7/13/2018: Hi Everyone - we definitely do hear your reports and frustration on missing and strange food logs. Our engineers are still investigating and I hope to have a resolution shortly. 

  

While not ideal, you can log on Fitbit.com food log and it will populate on iOS correctly once you sync. You can log it here. We appreciate your cooperation. I'll continue to update this thread as I hear more. 


 

Update 7/12/2018: Hi Everyone - thanks again for your reports. We are actively reviewing this issue and I'll continue to update the thread as I hear further. As a workaround you may want to log your food through https://www.fitbit.com/foods/log. As mentioned in @sreid64's post, it will populate the iOS app correctly. Thanks again for your patience and reports. 


 Update 7/11/2018: Hi Everyone - I've merged a few posts together. We are currently investigating issues with food logging on iOS version 2.53. Please continue to monitor this thread for updates. If this is severely affecting your food logging, you may want to log through Fitbit.com. Thank you very much for your reports and patience as we review.

I’ve been having the food input issues as well. Tried all the solutions but some food entries won’t list at all and others come up with some random replacement

You can log into Fitbit.com on your smart phone or iPad. You don’t need a desktop to log in. However, it’s trouble to do this. Fitbit need to fix this asap

Sorry, but I don’t buy that they are trying to fix this problem.  They should have made sure everything worked before doing the upgrade.  They either need to fix this now or give us the old version back while they work on it!  Shouldn’t have to go to Fitbit.com to log food, which is much more tedious to do since I cannot log multiple items at once like I can in the app.  For a large corporation they need to make sure everything works before rolling out an upgrade!  They’ve known about this since early yesterday afternoon!

I have a German sounding log which appeared under lunch and now it won’t delete it and I have tried to reboot several times. I have logged with help but they are not giving any timeframes on bug fix or even timeframes on updates which is quite poor for a major bug on a new release

Hello everyone, I hope you're doing well. Smiley Happy

 

I appreciate you have taken the time to submit your reports. As mentioned earlier, our team is still investigating the cause of this issue and working towards a resolution for it. I understand your concern about this situation but at this moment we don't have a specific timeframe for when this issue will be resolved, in the meantime, please try to log your food through the Food section in the online Dashboard. 

 

Thanks for all your patience and understanding, I hope you all have a great day.

I am having the same problem. How do you find what version you have? 2.53 is not an iOS version number, so it must be  a Fitbit app version.

It looks like Fitbit is working on the problem, but there is no resolve at this time. I have go onto the website and logged in to input my calories with no problems. I guess I will be doing that until the problem is resolved.

Can you not reinstate the last version until you find a fix?

Entering in the food section of the dashboard is hit and miss. Takes some entries but not others. Turns some foods in to other foods. Please fix ASAP! Thanks.

It is cumbersome to have to input our food this way and not what we have paid our money for. Expected better from Fitbit
