- [R1] WeightWatchers Program Don’t like new app: Too much on the app now. Seems more time consuming tracking.
- [R6] WeightWatchers Program Too complicated and time consuming!: Useful for logging meals, point checking and weight log ins. It’s not for me, too time consuming and could become obsessive.
- [R29] WeightWatchers Program Hard to navigate: I really don’t like the new WW app. It is so hard to use. I want to just log my food in and not have to go through hoops to get to breakfast lunch dinner and snacks. I find it cluttered and not easy on the eye or easy to log in your food. I really hate the changes.
- [R3] WeightWatchers Program Where are the points: Knowing the points is key to WW so why now on foods do you only show protein and fibre and you have to click in it to find points… this is particularly annoying in the dining out page where you want to make wise choices ..
- [R4] WeightWatchers Program Step Counter!!!: Where’d it Go?
- [R16] WeightWatchers Program Love the New WW app!: I love this app! Thanks to WW all my blood work is in perfect range. I love to look and make sure I am eating healthy through the new macros that was added. I am using the maintenance app and love it. Please don’t change a thing. For the other all in app put the points back on for them and I think they will like it. Thanks Earlene. I love all
- [R7] WeightWatchers Program WW App Review: Love the app. I am always on the move so it is primo for me. Keep fixing the bugs. I wish the daily Articles would resume and some new Success Stories. I looked forward to reading them each day for inspiration.
- [R22] WeightWatchers Program Keeps me honest: I'm glad WW has this iPhone app. It helps me to track my foods and activities fairly easily. Sometimes it shows that I do not have an Internet connection (even tho I do) and I have to track offline. That's the only thing that slows me down. There are great lists of foods and restaurants to help gather point information.
- [R46] WeightWatchers Program Great app: I would rate it 5, but the scanner stopped working. Please fix this as I need it when shopping
- [R52] Noom Weight Loss Best weight loss app: I was very skeptical, but my friend was enjoying Noom, so I decided to do a free trial. I am actually consistent with tracking my calories with Noom and the weight is just starting to fall off. It’s not perfect, but it is excellent.
- [R55] Noom Weight Loss Helping me make better choices: I always thought I ate healthy…organic, non GMO, mostly lean protein, lots of veggies and fresh fruit. OK, so I have a couple of indulgences: chips and a sweet tooth. But I couldn’t lose weight even by moderating my indulgences. Noom has taught me that my eating wasn’t nearly as healthy as I thought. By following their cues and using the food color guide, I’m making
- [R61] Noom Weight Loss It works !: I love this comprehensive way to track your weight progress and get healthy! It teaches you a lifestyle change and encourages motivation/ discipline. Very rewarding!
- [R64] Noom Weight Loss Support: Best support since the WW days, sitting in a church hall with neighbors about recipe substitutions and plateau busting.
- [R65] Workout for Women Nothing but paywalls: Is there anything that is free on this app anymore?? Even workouts I had previously saved now ask you to pay. Ridiculous
- [R66] Workout for Women Very good app: I am really enjoying this app… lots of different options.
- [R68] Workout for Women Scam and expensive: Cancelled my subscription and then received not one but two charges in the same day totaling almost $100!!! Don’t do it! Not worth it.
- [R69] Workout for Women Love this app!: Finally found an app that fits my workout needs!
- [R79] BodyFast Useless and tricky . Good as an idea but not for me 🤷🏼♀️: You can’t delete this app or your account. When you try it it says something about internet connection . Let’s see if they stop charging too.
- [R80] BodyFast Great App: Free or premium versions of this App are wonderful guide’s for IF. They are very helpful and informative.
- [R82] BodyFast Fraudulent: Unauthorized charges no response to emails sent. These reviews in Trust pilot are 2.3 Goes without saying that you are consistently overcharging with no response to any of your clients emails. I paid 7.99 and now you have charged me 33.98. Also spelling mistakes on your app
- [R83] BodyFast Great app: I love this app so much, they have a coach, a diet plan,just a wonderful app over all.
- [R93] RP Diet Coach & Planner Nothing Unique Or Special Here: This is basically a meal and macro tracking app, no different than any other tracking app. I was thinking that there was meal planning included, but there is not. No different from My Fitness Pal and basically just as expensive. I just wasted $20! If a tracking app is what you are looking for, there are cheaper and easier to use options out there.
- [R94] RP Diet Coach & Planner So easy: Makes creating and following a proper diet incredibly easy. The app takes up less than five minutes of my day and saves way more than that by allowing me to plan ahead.I have lost over 40 pounds with most of that being pure fat. Can not recommend enough.
- [R95] RP Diet Coach & Planner Could use some improvements: Unfortunately already paid for a year’s subscription but most macros are not accurate even when you upload a photo of the nutrition facts on the package. It seems to just spit out some random numbers. I like the idea but it needs some healthy improvements before it’ll be worthwhile. I’ve been having better luck just tracking on my own.
- [R96] RP Diet Coach & Planner Too difficult to navigate: I’ve had success using the fundamentals of RP but the app has gotten so complicated it’s not worth the headache any longer. Checking in meals, redistributing macros for the day (and saving that setting for the length of the diet), realistic redistribution (ie don’t tell me to eat 300g of red meat to reach a goal- tell me to add another meal!)…. But over all what was doab
- [R107] Found Hidden fees: My subscription cost repeatedly increased due to changes in medication which were made mandatory because Found stopped offering my specific brand and/or dosing. Practitioners are unresponsive and the app itself is unintuitive.
- [R108] Found A lot of thanks to found and doctor Esti Bakty: After searching several apps and discussing options with my friends(recommended by my friend first), I chose the Found app. I was able to enter my health information easily, and I got a doctor’s appointment scheduled for the very next day. Before the appointment, I uploaded my health report and blood test results, and by the time we met, the doctor
- [R109] Found No consistency: I’ve met with a different provider every single time. I get scheduling but it would be great if I could see the schedule of someone I’ve already met with but you only get to see the schedule of the most recent person. It’s really frustrating to get consistent care.
- [R110] Found Scam: You’re advertising and app are deceiving. You make it seem like the first month including the medicine is $50. I feel scammed. I’m not paying another $150. Waste of time, hope, etc. Customer service is terrible. Stole my money.
- [R5] WeightWatchers Program Great app: Great app and interface
- [R9] WeightWatchers Program App: Love the app! Makes me aware of what I’m eating! The app gets better and better to use! Thank you! I I love the color change. Great job! I appreciate what you do to keep the app up and making it so user friendly! Thank you! If nobody says it! I will! Thank you! Good job! Thanks for working on the activity part of app it works better! Used to be a pain to get activity on app ! Thanks again! Ke
- [R51] Noom Weight Loss Had hopes.: I feel severely bait and switched.
- [R53] Noom Weight Loss Latest update buggy,: erases recorded data every evening, water that had been manually recorded and steps, both day’s auto goal and steps completed uploaded from Fitbit. health tab will no longer connect even after multiple reboots.
- [R54] Noom Weight Loss What happened?: I used to use Noom pretty regularly. I got frustrated because one day when I clicked on the app, it made me log back in and provide all my biometrics again. That happened twice and after the second time, I didn’t have the time to complete all the specifics anymore, so I stopped using the app. I use the free version because I couldn’t afford the subscription. After several months,
- [R56] Noom Weight Loss Program great - app awful: The program and mindset is fantastic but the app is terrible. It takes forever for it to actually load. You have to sit there and watch a box spin aground for minutes on end. I’m currently going on 11 minutes waiting for it to load.
- [R115] Found Double charged: I was inactive for one month and didn’t receive any medication and they still charged me the $199 monthly fee. So just be aware, that monthly fee is basically for using the app. Not the medication you receive.
- [R119] Found BAIT AND SWITCH BEWARE!!!: Overall I would give this 0 stars if I could. I constantly found myself paying more and more and more. Initially this “membership” you pay for. It’s a complete scam. It doesn’t give you ANYTHING except for access to their APP. NOTHING. Doctor appointment extra, medications EXTRA. Expect to pay for (at least what I know so far, there will probably be more hidden c
