It frustrates me that the Android WW app is horrible. - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

I know its just an excuse, but it keeps me from tracking. I don't like using the website because it doesn't run well on a Mac.... I always used the android app on my phone to track but since the last update, it has been glitch and crashes constantly.

Sigh.

I'm actually considering giving up my WW membership and using one of the third party trackers just because at least I'll save money. But... I like the charts online so much...

Do a search for android apps under point plus food diary or the ultimate something they are not bad at all and under $5. Better than etools for me. I like the first one best, easy clean and well supported for $1.49 No glitches so far for me.

Thank you! I've heard that the third party ones work really well *nods*

Huh, well that is interesting since there isn't an update for it and it still crashes for me constantly. Maybe I will re-download it.
