Hey People,

I am having some problems with logging new foods into my app on my Iphone, It does not give the option to enter a decimal point meaning you would have to round the figure up which means all the macros will not be correct.

 

My fitbit app on my iphone and my IOS is all up to date and i have cleared any cache files to see if that will help at all.

 

I know 18months to 24months ago it used to work when i first got my Fitbit blaze as i created a few new meals that i was eating at the time. 

 

If anyone knows how to rectify this issue please let me know.

@LiliyaFitbit -

 

I must beg to differ.

 

This request by @Scotty2020 is much less of a Feature Suggestion than it is a "Bug Report".

 

If I remember correctly, as others have stated, the control used to present the "ten-key" in the past incorporated a decimal point and has been replaced with a control that does not.

 

After 40 years as an IT professional, I have to say that the unplanned loss of functionality is a bug that has to be laid at the feet of the developers - - - unless of course they were directed to incorporate that loss, in which case the responsibility rests up the chain.

 

Either way - gotta be classified as a bug.
