Garmin Connect not auto syncing daily calorie intack from myfitnesspal

This has been broken for what seems like two weeks. Both my account and my wife's account will not auto sync. I have to login online from a browser and press the sync button in calories for each day individually for the data to be updated in Garmin connect. Manually pressing sync in the Garmin connect android app doesn't work either I have to login online within a browser and press the tiny sync button in the calories section which works fine. What gives? Fix auto sync already! This is nuts that this feature has been down for so long.

I actually like Garmin Connect. You can display all types of charts if you want and setup the screen as you like. The Android app works well too but I am really getting sick of all the bugs after every update it seems. Always some new bug pops up like this one.

The PC version of Garmin Express for syncing via the ANT stick has been frustrating too although I don't use it very often. When 4.x.x.x first came out it broke sync. Thank god I could still sync via my phone. By the time 4.0.5.0 came out I had to uninstall go back to the last good 3.x.x.x and then update to the current version 4.0.8.0 which seems to be stable. Work out the bugs before you release software to the public! You just upset everyone when you release buggy software. FIX THIS!

If you keep breaking the software like this I may have to rethink everything Garmin and look elsewhere...its that bad folks!

    Here it is May and auto sync is still not working. Tried disconnecting and reconnection with myfitnesspal and I still have to manually press the sync button online. Even the manual sync in garmin connect android app doesn't work. Pathetic this is still broken.

    BTW, MFP has also had issues with Fitbit and Withings this week.

    Ah I fixed it! Finally...I had tried disconnecting each from each other on line and then reconnecting. That never fixed it. Buy today I disconnected both online and then used the garmin connect android app to connect with myfitnesspal and it fixed the sync problem. Did the same on my wife's phone and it worked! I have been manually syncing since March. Finally I don't have to deal with it.
