MyFitnessPal issues

Looks like the MyFitnessPal app is also experiencing issues. Here’s what the company officially shared earlier today:

Starting at 3pm on Wednesday we began seeing elevated errors across the MyFitnessPal program. To our members this may look like a variety of symptoms. These symptoms include, but are not limited to the following: login, sync, Fitbit sync, challenges, user search, database search, food/exercise/weight logging, and partial or no data loading when viewing your account.

We’ve made lots of headway since this afternoon. We continue our investigation in order to get the entire program back into fully functioning order as soon as possible. Our continued apologies for the frustration
