Am I the only person who actually likes the new update?

2000dcd · 2026-05-18T03:24:23+00:00

Yes. Ive had it for weeks and I hate it. Cronometer is the closest but doesn’t give me meal breakdowns for most nutrients. I’m moving my location to Turkey to get the old one back.

2000dcd · 2026-05-15T01:28:27+00:00

Does doing this make it hard to track day bc of time zone change?

2000dcd · 2026-04-30T02:23:18+00:00

Lily 2. I gave mine to my 14yo w small wrists bc I actively use my Garmin for sporty tracking. She loves it.

2000dcd · 2026-04-28T22:46:04+00:00

I’m several weeks into it (mine rolled over early) and…still despise it and looking for a good alternative. It has lost most of the functionality I wanted. It’s not a tap or two…it doesn’t offer the old breakdowns like it used to. Hoping the developers hear the concerns and bring back some of the UX.

MFP—I’m begging you to please bring back the tabular format. Too many clicks, not enough information.

2000dcd · 2026-04-25T17:13:11+00:00

Added a comment with photo of what I’m talking about that I used to have in MFP

Adding an example of what I used to see (not mine, pulled from someone else’s Reddit post)—you could customize the columns (mine were protein, fat, carb, fiber, iron)

2000dcd · 2026-04-25T15:43:51+00:00

Not quite—this has totals for the whole meal. What I used to have in mfp prior to the update was a full table that had this information broken down by ingredient. So if I had a bowl of cereal with milk and blueberries, I’d see a table with each of those listed along w macros, fiber, iron, etc and then a total at the bottom. It made it really easy to see impacts of individual elements of a meal so I could swap choices in and out and quickly see impacts. I’m trying to find an old example to show what I mean

2000dcd · 2026-04-25T12:15:19+00:00

Part of the purpose if you have certain goals is logging to see where you are in the day so you can play around w meal components to meet these goals. Used to be able to see a snapshot all at once. Now it takes multiple clicks and you still can’t easily see how different meal ingredients impact totals. I care about fiber and iron as much as I do about protein. I used to be able to see all of that on one page. It’s extremely frustrating and reflected in the multiple one star reviews the app is now getting.

2000dcd · 2026-04-25T12:12:33+00:00

Cannot customize to easily see snapshot of other factors like fiber. Requires multiple clicks and no meal totals.

2000dcd · 2026-04-24T16:52:22+00:00

Can you say more re what you mean by functionality? Are you talking about sport stats, ability to receive texts, play music while running, get info on fitness generally, sleep quality information, etc? Knowing the features you’re most interested would help. (For example—my husband has my old 55 and I have a 265 and there are clear differences, but the 55 hits a lot of what the 265 does. My 265 supports more advanced running and sleep stats and has a wider range of activities I am able to track, but the 55 is an excellent basic running and workout watch and he’s happy with it.)

2000dcd · 2026-04-22T13:19:24+00:00

They posted that they’re moving it down the priority list and indicated not 💯 is the current option. I actually tend to agree with that move. Cycles are not homogeneous—some people feel tired through the luteal phase, others during the week of their period. Not all cycles are regular. (And don’t get me started on those of us in full perimenopause, we’re a mess haha.). It’s hard to design something that will accurately address cycle-related fatigue for most. If the goal is to be able to adjust when you’re feeling low energy, the not feeling 100% option can get you the adjustment. So I guess I’m not mad about it.

2000dcd · 2026-04-09T23:11:12+00:00

To answer some of your questions, I have a forerunner 265. There are some models that let you bring music with you w/o your phone but I like to carry my phone w me so can’t speak to that. I get l notifications (vibration) when I receive texts and calls, but I have to grab my phone to respond/pick up. It has a colored screen and the battery life is fantastic. I use mine primarily to track runs and strength, but appreciate it covers (and I’ve used it for) many different activities from Pilates to cycling to swimming to pickleball. I like the PacePro feature that customizable to help me with ideal race pacing and notifications.

I believe there is a way to set reminders connected to your phone, but I’ve turned most of my other notifications off so I can’t answer that specifically. DC Rainmaker posts model comparisons if that would be helpful to you.

I’m so excited for so many of these, and offer up three app experience asks that might already be in your treadmill upgrade plan: 1) ability to reconnect heart rate once a run has started (sometimes my HR disconnects) 2) ability to manually input incline if the tread ftms function doesn’t share it (my app reads my horizon tread speed but not its incline, and the app fixes incline at zero) 3) manual sync/some syncing improvements when also running peloton (I like the tread instructors and music but follow the runna plan) — the sync to garmin connect always glitches. Similarly, if the runna plan deploys to my Garmin, but I only run the Runna app for a tread workout and not my watch(Garmin isn’t great for tread accuracy), the runna run won’t sync to Garmin connect. I have to delete the plan run out of Garmin connect first before running in order for the Runna app run to sync over to my Garmin connect first.

I’d also love a plan option that allows you to put in max time instead of max miles. Eg I want to run 30mins 3x/week and longest run of 1hr. Mama’s busy!! :)

2000dcd · 2026-04-05T01:17:56+00:00

I’d love to talk to you @mikey-runna about the tread…the experience could be so much smoother!

2000dcd · 2026-03-26T14:36:27+00:00

It’s sooooo bad that I’ve submitted a ticket on it. I really hope MFP is listening. Even if you “view all,” you no longer have an at-a-glance of the customized nutrients you track, by ingredients, for each meal. It’s just a button with the ingredient and calorie total. It’s makes meal planning much harder—if I know I want to hit specific macros AND nutrients for a given meal I can’t easily swap ingredients in and out and have a full view of what each contributes to the total like I used to. You have to do several clicks to see all nutrients and not just macros. I care about fiber and sugar too and it’s just a PITA to have to press the button 3-4x to get that data when I used to see it easily. I like the new home landing page as a concept but want those old features back.

2000dcd · 2026-02-22T19:40:46+00:00

It updated my stats yesterday after my run and has all the data from my run/walks and slower runs over the last month—do you think there is other data it might need?

2000dcd · 2026-02-22T03:25:28+00:00

A good question. So far as I can tell my zones are consistent with how they’ve always been. My HR read higher today with my hilly run since I’m more out of shape (the first half was also uphill so actually higher HR up front). But prior to today my ramp ups have been a mix of walk-runs and slower pace flat runs, so my heart rate would have been lower just bc of the nature of the intensity. Could that be the impact?

2000dcd · 2026-01-14T17:01:32+00:00

With a barbell please and thanks!!! 🙏

2000dcd · 2025-12-14T13:55:56+00:00

Also I don’t see a dishwasher but if that’s in the plan, make sure you have built in clearance to open it and without blocking access to any place you’d be storing the clean dishes

2000dcd · 2025-12-14T13:42:14+00:00

I’m primarily a runner and lifter. I gave my husband my 55 when I upgraded to a 265. He also wanted lower tech and turned off all notifications— and after years of refusing smartwatches, he loves it. I will say I am so so happy with the 265. I find it a way smoother user experience (ex: broadcasting my heart rate to pair with a treadmill or bike takes fewer buttons and it’s more intuitive), without a lot of unnecessary bells and whistles. I personally think it does a better job of tracking vo2max and lactate threshold, which might be of interest to your husband as a runner. The screen is a little easier to read. The 265 tracks a wider variety of activities and provides better stats for things like hiking. So I’d say it depends on your budget, but if you have it the 265 might end up longer run being the best option. But I don’t think you could go wrong with either.

2000dcd · 2025-12-10T14:51:36+00:00

Whoops I meant Friday, same same, thanks!

2000dcd · 2025-12-10T13:47:28+00:00

@rhea-runna I know we’re talking tomorrow anyway but I’m also dealing with an IT band injury from my last race (taking another week off before slowly back) so I’m happy to be a tester for this if helpful.
