Goodbye MyFitness Pal!

 Goodbye!


Don't know if you've heard, but My Fitness Pal is trying to shoot themselves in the foot.  They have been a mostly free app for more than a decade. They had a big chunk of the app free with a paid subscription which gave you access to things like setting your macros by gram.   I've used it off and on for at least a decade.   I think I started using it off and on about 2010 or so, maybe 2011, I'm not sure.

Then the barcode scanner, which has been part of the free app since they came out with the barcode scanner, they now have it in the paid subscription.  WTF.  NO!  Bad app.

And they jacked up the yearly price too.  Again NO!  BAD APP.  Now maybe if it were really cheap, like 20 bucks for a year, I might.  But no, its like 100 bucks a year.  Again, BAD APP.  Oh, they have a  "discount" which brings it down to $80 a year.    Have you seen inflation?  Not paying that much just for a barcode scanner.

So I've been trying new apps, ones I can use the barcode scanner for free on.  

First up in a day or so, Cronometer. 



Had my Well Woman today... ugh

 Ok so maybe it's not the worst thing ever, but ladies, I think we all know that the "scootch to the edge of the table and put your...
