While MyFitnessPal is keeping its users updated with the existing issues across the platform, it is unclear how long it will take to isolate these problems.

This is because no ETA for fixes has been provided on the Known Issues pages. It is, however, still good to see that the service provider is working to resolve these bugs and issues.

That said, we will keep tabs on these and any new problems that occur on MyFitnessPal and will report back with more details when they become available.
