Hi Anne I have noticed there is a glitch in the WW app software for the URL analyzer as well. It’s not accurately displaying the correct points based off either the wrong ingredients or the serving sizes.
The most accurate way to track and view points is simply by clicking the red button on my recipes at the bottom of the recipe page and it will take you directly to the recipe in the ww app to track and will display the correct ww points! Thanks!
