iPhone Version 3.4 Now Available - Search Your Favorites List, Passcode Lock, and More
At long last, we've released an update to our iPhone app today. In this release, we've added a few small but very helpful features:
- Search Your Favorites Lists: If you’ve been using the app for a while, your favorites list may be quite long, and it may be hard to find the food you’re looking for. In version 3.4, you can now search within your favorites lists only. For example, if you know you’ve eaten “strawberries” before, just tap on the “Recent” tab, then start typing “strawberries”. Your Recent list will be filtered as you type, showing only items that match the search term you’ve entered. Even with hundreds of entries in your Recent tab, you can still quickly find the one item you are looking for.
- Easily repeat your last meal: If you ate the same thing for breakfast today that you ate yesterday, we’ve added a new feature which let’s you easily log the same meal with just a couple of taps. Let’s say you had coffee, granola, and a grapefruit for breakfast yesterday, and you had the same thing for breakfast today. Under the Meals tab, you’ll see a new row at the top of your meals list. Tap on it, and you can quickly add the same items from your last breakfast. On the next screen, you can edit portion sizes or quantities as appropriate, then hit “Add” to add those items to your diary - that’s it! With just a few taps, you can now repeat your entire previous meal.
- Use multi-add mode automatically: If you frequently use the “multi-add” button on your diary page to add more than one food at a time to your diary, just turn the “Always Use Multi-Add” option on, and the multi-add checkboxes will now appear every time you add to your diary.
- Change your default tab: If you find yourself using your Meals tab or your Recipes tab more often than your recent tab, you can now change your default tab. Tap “Default Search Tab Settings” and choose which tab you want to open by default when you start to log a meal.
- Passcode lock: Last of all, we’ve added a Passcode Lock option to the app, for added privacy. Set a passcode, and you will be required to enter the passcode each time you open the app.



Otherwise I love the app! Keep up the good work!
Will there ever be an option to see the community threads on the iphone app?
When i try to do it that way it never will recognize the code it wont focus on the code ever anymore.
& i have to manually write it in.
The search in favorites should also be put in the Web app.
In a future update I'd really like to see some way to share recipes with friends. My wife and I both do MFP and it's a pain having to type a recipe in twice.
Everything else seems to be OK.
Still a good App thanks.
One question though for the app... would it be possible to be notified when someone replies to a post on friend's wall? I know it's a bit of facebook mimic, but there are so many times I would send a message and have to keep going back to see if they replied, or indeed miss their response altogether.
Thanks for your time!
All the other things work fantastically! Thanks so much for a great app.
One suggestion on the website... make it more like the iPhone app. I like hitting ADD and then choosing food or exercise. I like how the app displays all your food and exercise on a single dashboard view. The website seems a little clunky in comparison since you have to go between the 2 tabs. Not a deal breaker for the website... I just prefer the dashboard view of the app a bit more.
At any rate... a great website/app that has made it so much easier to get back in shape... I couldn't have done it without this awesome website/app!!!
Thanks! I don't want to miss out!
Please please implement the same changes in the iPad app - the majority of my use is on the iPad - the combination of the enhancements with the larger UI would be a great daily time saver.
Great work.
Keep up the great work. Cheers
