When I tried to re-add the recipe I could not find any of my existing favorites in the add ingredient list list nor could I search for and find an ingredient in All, Favorites or custom.

Additionally, none of the edit recipe functions appear to be working, whether in an existing diary or directly in the custom section. Cannot find ingredients or add them cannot see all of the existing ingredients in a recipe even when they are common items like raw onion or lemon juice.

Note that I was able to search and add or update ingredients via the web version but I don’t commonly use that

broken since last update.

-whenever I type the first three letters of a food, it often displays random things, way up the list from where I actually find the food that starts with those three letters. Often they are not relevant to me. I think the algorithm is getting precious.

-I want to be able to set the default to most recent items logged, not best choices, under favorites and have it not revert. It usually stays on most recent in all foods, but sometimes reverse there as well. I really dislike this problem. I also would like to be able to re-order my favorites in my preferred order based on my usage. As it stands, there is no way to do this.

-every time I want to find this forum, I get logged out and have to log into it again, even if I'm logged into the app. This is strange.

-for some reason, it is impossible for me to put any tags for my posts.

-I can't upload a screen shot video to show you what is happening.

Is this a bug? Or is it expected behavior?

The custom items do not even appear in the "all" section when I search for most recent used.

The other thing is it's very hard to get into this forum. Probably because I have the free version, but I have to go back into the email and open it from there in the browser. Really cumbersome.

this post will have no tags because there is no way for me to enter any. It will not accept them or show me the common tags.

I came here to discuss something that I'm not sure as relevant to the beta test at all. I'm getting obtrusive full page ads that shift between screens and have no way to close them for several seconds. I understand that companies need to advertise on the free version, but this is self-defeating because it was so annoying.

that I turned on an ad blocker.

I'm unable to create a tag for this post. That would seem to qualify as a bug. The first time I tried to edit to add this after failing to create tags several times, it was only on the third time that I was able to get the edit to save.

The only copy function that worked correctly was copy yesterday‘s group. In the screenshot below, I went to September 3 and used copy to today to move the entries. You can see that each entry in today’s log was duplicated. the screenshot below, I went to September 3 and used copy to today to move the entries. You can see that each entry in today’s log was duplicated. I also tried copy going then moving to today and pasting - also duplicated the entries. Then tried multi select on a prior day,copy then paste in today - also duplicated.

I see that the latest beta release is 4.45.0, and the version on the Apple App Store is 4.44.3

4.45.0 looks very similar to 4.44.3, which I just installed over. The changelog describes "photo logging updates, apple health and health connect fixes". Which is cool and all. But I don't really know how to test those.

Is the photo logging meant to be more… accurate? Was the under-the-hood prompting modified? If I chose to switch to Apple Health for my activity expenditure over Garmin to test this, what am I looking for? What should be broken?

Further, 4.42.0 says something about Voice Logging. Which sounds like something that'd need testing. But it doesn't exist in the latest build. I'm guessing it's a separate branch, and the beta releases have to go sequentially to install on top of the current release?

Anyway, I guess my feedback here is that detailed release notes/changelogs would be helpful, as a tester. If they exist, please point me in the right direction

I did give it a couple shots with supper and I realized that this is a restaurant tool. If you’re fixing meals at home with packaging, you have your nutrition information there, that’s ultimately more accurate.

My only comment at this point is that when I camera logged my brisket point, it logged the brisket properly, however, the volume was light. I weighed 5 ounces, the camera logging said 0.33 cup.

Has anyone else managed to get this to work? If so, please clue me in!

Support-> Contact Us-> Report an issue with the app. I fill out all the fields, attach a screenshot, press submit, and get the message “Failed to submit feedback. Please try again.” I tried twice so it’s feeling like a waste of time.

Is this a bug in the beta app too?
iPhone 15 Pro Max iOS 18.4.1 Cronometer 4.41.1b2489-ib

I use a garmin 965 which tracks my exercise. I'd like to not see the "Track Your Exercise" card

I found the Display Settings -> Dashboard settings, and I can turn off "news" which gets rid of that card. But am I turning off any "news" of value, or am I only turning off "Track Your Exercise". (I'd be okay moving it to the bottom too).

Yes, I know there's a camera there, and I get it, but a little UI thing might make it more obvious that it's looking for an actual picture of yourself. Perhaps "No pictures yet" instead of "No snaps yet", since the word snapshots has multiple meanings, might help a first-time user.

Again, may just be my frame of reference. And probably not a huge deal.

Synced with Garmin Connect (Forerunner 965)

Discover -> Charts -> Manage Charts
Turn on "Blood Pressure + Heart Rate"

App becomes slow and unusable. (Some crashes, sometimes it takes 20+ seconds to render the chart, or it seems like the app has crashed as the spinner stops spinning)
When I reload the app and navigate, the chart eventually comes up.
When I swipe over to report (or dashboard) and back, it takes another 20+ seconds to re-render the graph. The chart settings are the last 2 weeks and display all days.

It's pretty reproducible.

The workaround is to go to Manage Charts and disable the chart.

I don't need it anyway (since I can view all of the data in Garmin Connect), but you may want to limit how many datapoints you render for a better user experience.

I was just playing.

I can successfully log in via web app & Non-beta iOS app.

the error I’m receiving is 

“Exception: An error occurred processing your request” please retry http 404 

thanks for the help.

Here are some first impressions of the voice log. Firstly, I love this idea. I have meathooks for hands and don't use predictive text, so I use almost exclusively voice or PC keyboards for entry. This is very much in my wheelhouse. I'm an appsec and pentester by day anyway.

1. Voice logging seems to use Apple's really context-irrelevant version of voice-to-text, or something similarly backward. If there's a way that you could connect to, I guess, ChatGPT or Whisper, or I don't know, whichever one ChatGPT is using...it is excellent compared to Apple with context.

2. If VoiceLogging hears the wrong word or lists a homonym, it doesn't seem like it wants to give me the apple keyboard to allow me to correct the entry.

3. I'm seeing numerous times where it says that it's listening and the button is highlighted, but it's actually not listening and not writing anything.

4. It would be a little more convenient if the beta voice logging button was not in the exact same place where the manual add was before, if it was put off to the side.

5. Obviously, this is beta, but it's presenting an orange error screen at the bottom instead of saying no match or item not found.

6. Would be good for workflow if the voice matched query were to send automatically after a pause, so that the user would not have to click the button a second time to stop speaking...but it would instead switch off automatically, based on either a pause in speech, or based on the returned results from the database, or "no results found"

1. Enable printing for only the ingredients & quantities with optional nutrition values from Web see attached screenshot. I don’t want to print all of that extraneous information. I want to be able to print my recipe ingredients so I can quickly reference it.
2. Enable recipe printing for ingredients quantities from mobile

As it stands now, I just can’t get a clean recipe so I always have to go into the recipe to review the specific ingredients and the quantities of each as you can see from the recipe. There are a lot of ingredients in my soup.

Whenever I try to copy a custom food to make changes to it (using the Save a Copy option), the dropdown for the serving size still contains the previous size as well as the new.

As an example, here's a Starbucks Iced Hazelnut Oatmilk Shaken Espresso that I tried to modify from the Venti (24 oz) version to the Grande (16 oz). After changing the Serving Name, the "Nutrition Displayed per" box now shows "24 16 oz" with no way to fix it.

This happens every time I try to use an existing food to make a new one.

Thanks for any input

I am using version 4.23.0 b1932-ib

I have not been able to use the Import Recipe feature since this release. I previously had created several Custom Recipes from my New York Times Cooking account, but can now receive an error.

I have also tried importing recipes from BettyCrocker.com and Foodandwine.com -- both have the same error message as the NYT Cooking import that I have included below. Is this error related to the current Beta release?

Since touching selects and overrides the amount (if any), it would make it much quicker to have the cursor jump to the amount box on page opening ready to take the input.

Even better, it would be good to use the same system as the web version and be able to enter the amount directly without shifting to the food page.
