Unable to Search for Food (or bar code scan for food)

[MplsFit]

Today if I click on the search bar to find a food it only allows me to create a custom food - no search results appear no matter what I type. This is the case before and after updating. I also deleted and reinstalled the app.

Someone on this thread said they contacted support. I just brought it up.

Same here 😔

Good to know it wasn't just me

Also having this issue! Tried the same troubleshooting: close, reopen, update, reinstall.

I'm seeing this too on my app on the Samsung Galaxy S22. I've tried the troubleshooting you did too. But nothing. I type in a food and nothing pops up at all. Not even a spinning logo.

Same here. Updated the app, deleted and reinstalled the app, restarted phone still not working. Another successful Google *bug fixes and performance improvements

Thanks to everyone who contacted Support. Well, I guess until they fix it, I’ll eat only Frequent, Recent, and Custom foods. 

[RennyWD]

I'm even trying to use MyFitnessPal and not even that updates all the foods

[Carreinct]

Same here. Very frustrating. Started yesterday 

[jelliskent]

It is the same for me , so very frustrating so wondering is there an update that I need to install ?

[Andi2468]

Ok so it not just me or my phone which did an update yesterday.   So frustrating!!

[RennyWD]

If only those searches made any sense. I recently ate a birthday cake? Um no, that was 6 months ago. I frequently eat pumpkin seeds? How about once after I carved my pumpkin.

Same thing for me.  Did all the same things and still can't bring up the database.  Frustrating.

Same issue for me.  Hope they fix it soon.  I've updated the app, restarted my phone, deleted and reinstalled the app, signed out and signed back in to no avail.

Same here, it has my food intake for at least 2 years. I am researching other apps and will be transitioning. I liked that Fitbit had all my stats all in the same place but this type of disruption is unacceptable. 

[Yraurb]

They lost the database for the USA, too.

[dalerog]

So it's a problem. How will this be resolved?

[Larkyloo]

Hahahahaha. I had this thought. Good thing I recently had a donut! 😉

[TaylorSJ]

Support are not even giving an estimate on when it will be fixed. I asked if it would be days, weeks or months so I knew if I had to find an alternative tool and they just said "we don't know"...

I am having the same issue. Worked fine yesterday  Thursday November 6, 2025. Very Frustrated!!
