What people say

AApp Store (US)2Oct 19, 2026

“I used MFP FOR YEARS, then stopped when I had kids for a while. There was a premium but the free version you could scan you food and do a lot of the things that now you have to pay for. Really bummed I lived MFP.”

Food scanning capability moved from free version to paid subscription
