Is fatsecret down today?

App Won''t Open or Crashes on Launch

If FatSecret freezes on the splash screen or closes immediately, start with the basics: force-close the app, clear its cache in your phone settings, then reopen. On Android go to Settings → Apps → FatSecret → Storage → Clear Cache. If that doesn''t help, uninstall and reinstall the latest version from the store.

Food Search Returns No Results

The search index sometimes lags or loses sync with the server. Try these steps:

- Type the product name in English even if your app language is different

- Check your internet connection — search requires a live server request

- Log out, log back in, and search again

- If the barcode scanner finds nothing, enter the name manually

Login Error or Password Not Accepted

Double-check that Caps Lock isn''t on and there are no extra spaces in the email field. If you''ve forgotten your password, use the reset link on the login screen — the reset email sometimes lands in spam. After resetting, wait a minute before trying to log in again, since sessions can take time to clear on the server side.

Diary Entries Not Saving or Syncing

This usually happens when the app loses connection mid-request. Make sure you have a stable signal before adding meals. If entries disappear after closing the app, check that background data isn''t restricted for FatSecret in your phone''s battery or data settings.

Weight Log Chart Not Loading

- Pull down to refresh the screen

- Switch to a different time range and switch back

- If the chart stays blank, log out and log in again to force a data refresh

Notifications Not Arriving

Reminder alerts for meals or water depend on system permissions. Go to your phone''s notification settings, find the app, and make sure all notification categories are enabled. On iOS, also check that Focus mode isn''t silencing the alerts.
