What Happened to MyFitnessPal?
I used this app almost daily about 5 years ago. It was great, just a little calorie calculator. I could pull it up super fast and jot down what I was eating. The weight tracking system was neat, but I personally didn't even use that.
I downloaded it this weekend because I've been meaning to start getting in better shape... And I guess I made a mistake.
There are so many useless features packed into what was once just a simple calorie tracker. Does anyone actually use the "feed" feature?
Who thought it was a good idea to turn a fitness app into social media?
AND they offer a premium option?
MORE features? How? Why?
Why can't apps just do one thing nowadays? One silver lining is they send pretty generous coupons (like 40% off) for UnderArmour once or twice a year -- even if you don't use the apps. So if you like the brand, from a financial planning perspective, being a MFP member (which is free) isn't a bad deal. For calorie/meal tracking, I hear cronometer is superior. It got bought by Under Armour, and their approach to recoup on the ~$400mil purchase prices was that they continuously spammed all the users by every conceivable avenue. And then they got breached and lost the entire ~150million user database: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-under-armour-databreach/u... Just change any passwords you ever used there, delete it, and move on...
