1-Star Review – Absolute Garbage Overhaul. MyFitnessPal Killed Its Own App.
This new April 2026 "update" is an unmitigated disaster.
What the hell were you thinking? Every single time I log food, this childish "YAYY!" pops up with stupid confetti exploding all over the screen like I'm a toddler who just ate broccoli. It's patronizing, distracting, and completely unnecessary. I didn't download a party app -> I downloaded a calorie tracker (for 10 damn years!!!). Turn this infantile crap off or remove it entirely.
The new UI is even worse. Logging food now requires pointless extra clicks: tap into breakfast/dinner/etc. -> then another tap to the food list -> then log (and that Goddamn confetti animation is vibe coded shit-maxing). Why? The old diary let me see my whole day at a glance. Now everything is buried behind "View All" cards and extra menus. It's slower, clunkier, and feels like it was designed by someone who has never tracked macros in their life. This isn't an "upgrade"…. it's pure vibe-coded enshittification. Looks flashy for 5 seconds, then destroys the actual usability that made people stick with this app for years.
I've been a loyal user (and paying Premium customer) for a long time (a decade), but this garbage has me canceling immediately and switching to a better alternative. The old interface worked perfectly. This one is frustrating trash that wastes my time every single day.
I - and I bet most loyal customers - have MFP for one reason:
Log food quickly. See your day instantly. Get out of the way.
Anything that’s impedes this core flow should always be a big NO!!!
MyFitnessPal: Listen to your users before you lose us all. Revert this mess or add a proper toggle to kill the animations and go back to a functional diary. As it stands, this overhaul sucks. Hard.
Its moves like these (and what notability app did with their overhaul) that make you realize companies are their own worst enemies.
