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

ANSWERED

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.

I see no way to edit my above post, but I just want to say it’s working fine for me, now.

I too had this issue and then it was working fine.  Monday 11/10, it is doing the same thing, allowing custom food data entry only.

Well @AndreaFitbit, one other problem involves the serving size drop down in the Custom Food area which @JuanFitbit had also noticed when I brought it up on the same Community section.

Following the new update The barcode scanner now doesn’t. work. And when you click on it the whole app freezes. 

I’m using iOS latest version and have updated to the latest version of the Fitbit app.

Maybe it’s your phone? Did you try turning it off to reset?

I did shut my phone down, on multiple days when it wasn’t active and no
luck.

It is functioning normal today, I am able to search for food again.

Of course the only issue left with it is that the arrow associated with the custom food page's serving size information is not working as seen in one of the other threads.

New food log issue. Now the entries are disappearing. I have tried many times, closed the app, deleted and re-downloaded the app, shut down my phone, ad infinitum… the food log not working is getting really tiresome.

Same here. It also appears that they have wiped out ALL of the detail in my custom foods. No more macros just calories.

Not sure this counts as a bug fix or performance improvement.

If I end up changing the app for food logging, I may change my tracker to a
smart device. I only keep my fitbit because I love the convenience of
having all my needs tracked in one place.
