  • Please think about localization and various labeling standards and such. I live in Japan and bought a subscription to Chronometer when MyFitnessPal decided to enshitify. I was submitting labels with barcodes and information in their appropriate boxes (protein, carbs, etc.) but they rejected it because the image (required picture) had non-English text. Apparently there is (or at least was) a manual review process and they rejected everything not in English. Further, it took either weeks or months (I forget now) for the first response to my submitted data to come so I kept putting all this time into something utterly useless. They lost me as a customer as well.
