mattlaura , I meant the background colors for this forum. When we started up here there were numerous *ahem* threads about how badly our colors choices "sucked". 🤣 itsrad and I would receive multiple messages daily about it too. "Are you guys blind, can't you see how hideous these colors are!?" type messages. We finally did a poll as to which combo everyone prefered. Fun times, fun times. True. But that was before WW came up with Freestyle SmartPoints and gave **many (not all)** people something to really complain about.

Technology is capable of so much more than they use it for. So here is my wish list:
1) Support every previous plan (original, exchanges, POINTS, PointsPlus, SmartPoints, Freestyle SmartPoints.
2) Support straight calorie counting.
3) Let members choose and switch between all plans offered whenever they choose.
4) Get rid of the ridiculous “new” web site and revert back to the “original” web site. That site had entry points to so much interesting and rich content—everything from the science of weight loss to cooking methods and tutorials to recipes—and it was easy to find because it wasn’t hidden and made public through the fleeting few links they make available on the web site and then take away just as quickly.
5) Perhaps the meetings could be revamped and dividied between meetings for those who want to get their heads shrunk and those who want to talk about dieting, recipes, food finds, diet experiences, etc. Then, perhaps, there would be meetings that fit **most** people’s expectations.
6) MINDY: stop running WW like you think you’re still at HSN. For a decade I haven’t received email from WW even though I was signed up; now, all of a sudden, I’m being marketed to death with one or more emails a day. I’m **this close** to unsubscribing.

Things have been way too quiet on the WW front. Makes me wonder what Mindy is up to since she is always switching things up. chook any news from down under? Nothing to report here, just the cryptic message attached to the updates about something in the background for the future. i’d be Interested in any new plan WW put out because you can be rest assured that it would be trialled and tested to make sure it actually works this time. I remember when Points Plus first came out and there was a press release here saying they analysed members’ trackers in Europe to see what they were eating and estimated from that how many servings to make fruit zero points based on average consumption over (I think) a 5 year period. Can only wait and see I guess.

I just don’t look for WW to jettison Freestyle after just a few years; that would be too much like admitting a mistake (as many of us see it). It does seem that WW reacted somewhat to the negative feedback of long-time members fed up because their favorite plan was discontined. So to move in a direction that makes everybody happy, instead of one that makes yet more changes and potentially pi**es off more people, I think the truly may move at least somewhat in the direction of iTrackBites. Now they may only make PointsPlus, SmartPoints, and Freestyle available, but that’d make a whole lot of people happy. There was a new patent application filed in March, but as always one would have to invest hours and hours to find out what, if anything, is different from previous filings. Frankly, I’ve lost interest in doing that. Whatever changes, unless it counts, tracks and reports standard NI, it will be useless to me for carb and blood sugar control.

How do you find it zazzles ? I'd like to read it Go to this page at the US Patent and Trademark office: appft.uspto.gov/netahtml/PTO/search-bool.htmlIn the box next to Term 1, enter: 20190073921 Next to Field 1, select Document Number as the field name Click Search Click on the link that comes back as the search result. Once you’re looking at the result, you’ll see buttons at the top of the page. If you click “Images” the display will change to show you a PDF file of the first page. Then, on the left side toward the bottom you’ll see a button titled “Full Pages;” click that will display the entire original filing as a PDF file. On the Mac, I’m able to right-click and open the full PDF document in the Mac’s native preview viewer and save it to the computer. If you’re using Windows YMMV on that one.

No sure if it's worth mentioning, but I've three updates to the WW app in the last few days I have an Android and have not had an update in really quite some time, I'm set as beta too. Boo. I feel left out.

Jennifer, I had an android update yesterday but there was nothing about new things coming on "My Day" page. I'm a beta tester too! I feel left out!

I would like the GHG's back.
I'm very happy with MFP and calorie tracking right now.
Freestyle really killed it for me. I will always be grateful for WW teaching me the skills and helping me to get the initial weight off.
But I was unable to maintain on Freestyle and as an employee we all had to "hide" if we were using other plans.

I’d like to see them bring back support for Simply Filling within the app, as well as the option to switch between the plans again. And more of a focus on the GHGs.

I'd like to see them add calories and macros to the tracker... That will be a cold day in hell, for sure when that happens!

i cancelled recently but the app had calories for each of the foods. just not macros to the level of detail that the free calorie counting sites have.

The standard NI is pretty much covered per food—sodium and cholesterol are biggies that are missing. But, for me, the difficulty is trying to add up the carbs and fiber in my head as I track items. Because I need to calculate total carbs and fiber and do some math to determine insulin doseage. That’s hard enough with trackers like MFP, LoseIt, MyNetDiary, etc.—which all give totals per meal—without trying to do it in my head for three or more meal components. Thinking of it now, they could display the NI and points under all the programs as a total for each meal and the day with no problem; then the only technical part would be allowing members to choose between plans and keeping the daily and weekly totals straight. But it wouldn’t be impossibly difficult.

Oh, and I'd also like to be able to upload recipes without having to type each ingredient in, the way you can on MFP. I just rejoined WW so I'll see if there are any improvements to the app from when I last quit over a year ago.
