Why did they change the app?

The old app was so easy to us. This new version is pretty useless
Update

That last update really messed up the app. I’m having so much trouble logging my food. I had to switch to a different app even though I use to like this one better
App needs improvement

Some basic food items are not listed. Information does not match the nutrition facts of the food.
Hits and Misses

I have been using this app for a couple weeks now and I have lost over 10 pounds and using it. The Atkins plan is a good plan it just this app has some hits and misses which are list below. The Hits: Good carb counter Keeps you on track Good plans Extensive food database The Misses: Hard to navigate food database Not all scannable items are in database Does not linked with Apple health
Useless

I used the old app for several months and was very excited when we were told about the new redesigned app that was coming…several months into the new app….totally useless….for example grape tomato 4 carbs well how many that is not for 1 grape tomato…..my protein powder mix isn’t listed, I tried scanning gene bar codes and I get items not found, can’t see my progress or see past entries, can’t find the community blogs, the recipes don’t give measurements or instructions (some recipes do and others don’t) I stopped using the app so disappointed in it…..starting to use a different app….bring back the old app!
Update is terrible

I have been doing Atkins for going on 2 years (although I have done it in the past with success). The app update has seriously lost all functionality. Most of the items I scan can’t be found (including Atkins branded items). When I search by item name, it brings up hundreds of results that are sorted in no particular order (definitely not by closest match), and adding more search terms doesn’t narrow the search, it brings up even more results. I miraculously was able to locate a low carb brand bar, but I had only eaten half of it so I changed the serving size to half, yet it still counted all of the carbs for a full serving toward my goal. The app LOOKS good, I guess, but what is the point of having a sleek interface if it is so difficult to use. I have gotten so frustrated trying to track that I stopped using it altogether for a while, hoping whatever glitchy design this is would be updated and fixed by the time I came back. Unfortunately, no. Atkins in general has been literally life changing for me. I had health problems, chronic pain, and of course was overweight, but this lifestyle has changed all of that. Part of the reason it was so easy to follow was that there were tools for success. This app was one of those tools, and I sincerely hope that it is fixed so we can all go back to easy tracking!
Not user friendly

When I use the search food field the whole search bar does not display it only shows the first two letters of the name of the food - the orientation is off. Also - nothing displays/lists in my favorites tab even though I’ve checked the box. After I add a custom food it still does not come up in my search. It is frustrating - is seems I have to do twice the effort to input/track food.
