Great app that (used to be) could be sublime – Calorie Counter - MyNetDiary Review

I’ve been a paid user of MyNetDiary for several years. I love this app and would never consider using another. Recently, however, they’ve lost their way a bit. An original idea behind the app was fast-fast-fast data entry. MND removed any friction to logging your food. Sadly, in the latest versions, when there is an update your are presented with a full screen system modal (i.e. you can’t do anything until it is dismissed) dialog displaying the release notes. This is jarring from a UX standpoint (unexpected behavior) as well as flying completely in the face of the no friction premise that this app is built on. I understand that new feature discovery is a tough problem but punishing the user is not the solution.
