When I first tried it in I think 2011/2012 it was garbage on android. Absolutely unusable. I used "Lose It!" for nearly 5 years because it performed much better, until it started getting extraordinarily slow when doing food searches. So I tried out MFP again and lo and behold, the app had improved tremendously!
I still am annoyed it doesn't open on diary by default. The picture+weight feature is nice though. Wish it let me track bodyfat too. As told I've got about 4 apps I use for fitness now:
MFP for food/calorie, weight, and picture tracking
Google Fitness for cardio maps and timing, and total gym time tracking. Also fun that it automatically records my bike rides. Not fun that I have to manually change my motorcycle rides from bike rides into not bike rides (when was the last time somebody got a bicycle up to 90mph on 280? shrug). Also track weight in there because I'm convinced one day google will implement some badass machine learning and I want the data there for when it happens.
"FitNotes" for setting lift routines and tracking weight in lifts. Also used for tracking bodyweight and bodyfat (only app in my list that tracks bodyfat). I add my bodyweight in there because it's cool to compare graphs of bodyweight to lifted weights. I've had great email conversations with the developer, he has a fantastic, simple development philosophy, and he has kept his app free for years now, with no ads or other BS.
Newly added "goodtime" for just a simple timer that will vibrate after 2 minutes, my break time between lifts. It was remarkably hard to find an app that just did this, as my default android alarm timer was tied to my alarm tone, so i'd have to switch it to vibrate and back when working out. Missed a morning alarm once before I decided enough of that...
