This article explains what the ad-free experience with MyFitnessPal Premium includes. It shows you which ads Premium removes, which content stays, and what to do if ads still appear after you upgrade.
The core of MyFitnessPal is free, and it stays that way because ads help pay for it. That is the honest trade. If you would rather log your lunch without a banner in the corner, the ad-free experience comes with every Premium subscription. Here is exactly what that covers.
What gets removed with a Premium subscription
Ads removed with Premium |
Banner ads in the app and on the website |
Sponsored posts on the website and in the iOS and Android apps |
Ads in the community areas, including Forums and Groups |
Ads in the Blog section of the iOS and Android apps |
Please note that links to recent MyFitnessPal Blog posts are not examples of third-party advertising. Links to MyFitnessPal-created blog content are not removed as part of the “Ad Free” feature of Premium.
Due to technical limitations, Premium users who visit the Blog on the Web may see ads in the blog for up to 7 days under certain circumstances.
If you still see ads after upgrading
Ads should disappear as soon as your Premium subscription is active. If they have not, try these steps on iOS, Android, or the website.
- Sign in with the same email address you used to buy Premium. Ads only disappear for the account that holds the subscription.
- Close the MyFitnessPal app completely, then open it again. On the website, sign out and sign back in.
- Check that your subscription is active. See what your Premium subscription includes.
- If ads on the web version of the blog are still showing after seven days, reach out to our Premium support team.
Frequently asked questions
Will ads come back if my Premium subscription ends?
Yes. The ad-free experience lasts as long as your subscription is active. Once it ends, ads return and the rest of your account stays exactly as it was, including your diary, your goals, and your history.
Do I need to be signed in to stay ad-free?
Yes. Your Premium subscription is tied to your account, not to your phone or your browser. If you are signed out, or signed in to a different account, you will see ads.
Does the ad-free experience work on all my devices?
Yes. Sign in with the same email address on your phone, your tablet, and the website, and the ad-free experience follows you across all of them.
Does Premium+ include the ad-free experience?
Yes. Premium+ includes everything in Premium, plus more. Compare Free, Premium, and Premium+.
