It automatically does that as long as you are signed into both with the same username and password. Coach Denise

I recently got the app and I really like the scanner option for my phone. However, it can be a chore, filtering the responses.

Same here. I only used it if absolutely necessary. I got by without it before I got my tablet so will do so again. To slow to make me want to buy it.

BREEZY85 - As I previously mentioned in this thread, we started charging for our mobile tracking apps because they require significant resources to build & maintain, but do not provide much revenue via ads (and we have to make money so that we can stay in business and support our free products)! The site is still 100% free and so is our mobile site that can be accessed on your phone's web browser (mobile.sparkpeople.com). However, if you previously had the free app, you may still be able to get that back (but it won't be updated). The process for reinstalling the free version of the app is slightly different depending on where you originally downloaded the app. Below are instructions for purchases from Google Play and from Amazon.com's Appstore for Android. Option A--Purchased from Google Play Store/Android Market 1. On your device, open the Google Play app. 2. Click the menu button on your phone. 3. From the options that appear, select "my apps." 4. At the top of the page, you will have the option of viewing installed or all apps. Click the button that says "all" to view all apps. 5. Scroll to find the app. 6. To the right of the app title, click the icon that says "free" to install it. Option B--Purchased from Amazon 1. Open the Amazon Appstore App. 2. Click on the menu button on your phone. 3. Form the options that appear, select "my apps." 4. At the top of the page you have the option of viewing new, installed, or all apps. Click to view all apps. 5. Locate the SparkPeople app from that list and click to install. If you have an iPhone: 1. On your device, open the App Store app. 2. Click the button at the bottom to navigate to "Purchased." 3. At the top of the purchased apps page, click the button that says "Not on this iPad/iPhone." 4. Scroll through the apps until you find the Diet and Fitness tracker and click to install. But keep in mind, those old free apps will not be updated and the paid versions have already been updated and will continue to be updated. Also, the fee is a one time only charge. Coach Denise

If you go to Favorites on the app, I believe you should see the food groupings option there that you can select from. Coach Denise

I previously used the free version, and now I use the paid version, but I've never been able to get the fitness tracker to work. I can track stength, but not cardio. I cant add from the + button, custom, or from my favorites. I've uninstalled the app, reinstalled, reset my device, nothing gets it to work. Is this a known issue or is there a fix? I'd reall like to track my fitness without having to log into the website. I'm on an HTC Incredible 2.

Hi - sorry if this has already been covered....thinking about getting the Spark People app for Android - does the bar code scan feature import full nutritional content and let you choose the serving size consumed? Where can I read full details of the App? thanks!

I have downloaded the sparkpeople app for my phone a couple months ago and love it. But Since then I have frequent issues with it. Today as well. I have uninstalled it and re-installed it and tried to log in and its not working at all.

I have used the sparkpeople app for almost a year now on my phone. I had to reset my phone the other day and went back to get the app and now it costs money...$3.99!! It was FREE when I originally got it, now I have to design my life without it!! If SP really wanted to help us, wouldn't it stay free???????????????

Welcome to SparkPeople! There isn't a way to do that on the app, but on the site, you can see that breakdown. You can go to your Nutrition Tracker page, click on the button below your tracker to See Today's Full Report and that will show the breakdown for all nutrients for each food item you tracked. Hope that helps! Coach Denise

Hi, Coach Denise,
I just joined Spark People. I am a Type 1 diabetic on a pump and count both calories and carbs. I do calorie cycling for weight loss (have lost 20 lbs) and count carbs for boluses on my insulin pump. For a couple of years, I have been using a huge printed table of every food I EVER eat with calorie count and carb count, and making a list of my intake for each day.
My daughter thinks I am in the stone age with my sheet and my daily written lists, and recently got me a smart phone. (I am 66 years old.) I downloaded your app and it is great. My problem is that although the web site provides running totals for calories, carbs, protein, and fat, the app only shows a running calorie count. To find the carb total in a meal (for insulin), I have to click on the nutrition button for each food in the meal and then add them up in my head. I wish the app showed the carbs for individual foods and meals like the web site does. It does show the carb total for the entire day, but not for a food or a meal. Is there any way to adjust settings in the app or the site to show carbs as well as calories?

As long as you log into the app with the same username and password that you use on the site, then yes, it will sync with the website. As for the scanner, if you scan a food, you are able to add it to your favorites. Hope that helps! Coach Denise

Morning all, can somebody please answer these two questions about the app - 1. does it sync with the website, so if I food track whilst I'm out and about it goes onto my tracker on my laptop, and 2. can I add favourite foods using the bar scanner? Loving the website, feeling very motivated, and want to be able to keep tracking as I go.
Here's to ... feeling healthier, feeling happier, achieving my goals!

We will continue to update the paid app, but the free app is no longer being offered or updated. Coach Denise

I wish they had a message board feature on it, and I also don't think it's fair that it is not free.

MRSALLYP - Yes, the droid app is now paid.

Option A--Purchased from Google Play Store/Android Market 1. On your device, open the Google Play app. 2. Click the menu button on your phone. 3. From the options that appear, select "my apps." 4.

I too was looking for the scanner. I've discovered here that I can access the scanner on the android based app which I have on my kobo vox ereader. Unfortunately, I have no built-in camera on my kobo. I do have a camera on my ipod touch. Unfortunately, the iphone version does not have a scanner. Can't win! I have used the Myfitnesspal app with the scanner. I LOVE the scanner. I haven't had a mistake and if it didn't come up with a match, I always checked the result with what was in hand to see how close the cal's and fat gr's were. If close enough, then I'd just leave it as is. I've been tracking this week with SP again because I'm trying out My Spark Coach. I hope a scanner is added to the iphone version.

GETITDUN - I'm not sure, but it looks like it is an android device, so it should, but I can't say for certain. Sorry I don't have a definitive answer for you, but there are numerous devices on the market and it's difficult to test on all of them. As far as I know though, some Blackberry devices are the only ones that have limitations on our app working with them. I haven't heard anything like that for android devices, but again, I can't say it will work for sure. Coach Denise

The app is ok but there are some things I wish it would to; GPS! Post workout activity to facebook from the app & for that post have some sort of graphic ( Ive seen what it looks like to post to facebook from SP website and its a very plain post something like Noom (android) fitness logger and FB connection would be ideal. Stream line the favorites menu so you can sort by meal & improve bar code scanner ( think MyfitnessPal ) Actually if you could combine the fitness, facebook connection, hart-rate monitor connect and GPS of Noom and the meal logging of MyfitnessPal then add things relevant to SP you'd have the perfect app!! ( Sorry if I'm not supposed to name competitors by name )

SCREAMINGFLEA - The "Food Detail" you mention comes up after you select a food from a search, but before you add it to your day. On that screen there is a large, orange "save food" button to add that food to your day. Once you are done adding food to your food tracker, you can push your phone's back button to move back to the previous screen. Hope that helps! Coach Denise
