1. [R3] Noom Weight Loss 3/5 · US 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.
2. [R6] Noom Weight Loss 3/5 · US 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.
3. [R12] Noom Weight Loss 3/5 · US Good but: It’s generally very good but has been very glitchy lately
4. [R19] Noom Weight Loss 1/5 · US Terrible design, annoying daily usage: Out of all the apps on my phone this is the one I hate using the most. It is slow to load, there is no customization of the order of the dashboard screen. It is tediously slow to log a meal. There is no shortcut from the desktop to log a meal. They have tried to gamify it and have you submit seeds at night, which is totally pointless and requires unnecessary
5. [R9] Noom Weight Loss 3/5 · US Too gamified now: This is my second time doing Noom; the first time was a great success, and this time around started off great with a bang. But then an update hit the app a couple of months ago that made it nearly unusable. The gamification has been taken to the extreme and it seems like I can’t log a meal without 5 pop-ups to shower me with affirmation, seeds, and lightning bolts, and then anoth
6. [R18] Noom Weight Loss 3/5 · US Recent Update is Annoying: I have been loving the Noom app for the last 8 months, it has really helped me lose weight and now I’m in the maintenance phase. The recent update though has been a bit irritating. I’m getting used to the seed thing, but the animation for it is so slow and time consuming. Please get rid of the seed banking animation or at least make it skippable!!!!
7. [R20] Noom Weight Loss 5/5 · US Annoying animations!: I used to like Noom to help me track calories. But the last update brought Duolingo-like animations that get in the way and slow me down. I have to wait for them to end before I can continue doing whatever I was trying to do. Please remove them or at least make them optional.
8. [R15] Noom Weight Loss 3/5 · US Not so innovative anymore: The psychology is good but the biggest place where Noom is failing its paid subscribers is there is no fiber tracking. In 2026 when fiber & protein are what we are being told is most important, we can’t track both with a $200 subscription? When so many of us are on GLP-1s?Customer service just blows me off on if/when Fiber will will be available. The food tracking d
9. [R28] Noom Weight Loss 2/5 · US Not so good weight loss tracking system: I got this using the upgraded app and finally decided to continue with the no paying option- terrible!!! You can’t track your exercises. To enter any item you have to go through multiple screens and hit done like three times- just not user friendly. Also, if you have a meal on repeat, unless you make it into a saved meal, you can’t just repeat the lunch fro
10. [R30] Noom Weight Loss 3/5 · US Watch the Calorie Counts: Calories are frequently wrong and even after submitting a “flag problem” numerous times, nothing gets fixed. So make sure to compare what the package says to what the app tells you. I have to just assume the calories for non-packages are “close enough.” Also, a lot of foods are not in there and even after repeatedly adding them, they never get added so I constantly have
11. [R33] Noom Weight Loss 3/5 · US Good logging: The food logging needs work. It’s just clunky and hard to use. Don’t make me go through three screens just to add the meal. Put my most recent foods at the top. I hate searching for a food I’ve eaten everyday, everyday. This is arguably one of the most important aspects of weight loss, at least get that right. Make it easy! Do any of the engineers use the app personally? Try it and f
12. [R4] Noom Weight Loss 1/5 · US Scam!!!: This is a scam! I cannot possibly believe that the positive reviews here are real! They will not allow you to cancel. They will continue to charge you. The user support function does not work. They will not respond to my correspondence through any other means. I may have to take legal action
13. [R7] Noom Weight Loss 1/5 · US Deceptive when trying to cancel: Got an email after they automatically renewed my subscription basically saying if I cancelled the day before I got the email I wouldn’t have to pay the following year’s subscription, that’s a scummy business practice. I tried to cancel prior but it was saying my password was invalid and I never got a link to reset the password when requested, almost like they were
14. [R22] Noom Weight Loss 1/5 · US Charges for cancelled subscription: I cancelled my trial subscription within the allotted time and was still charged over $100. Stay away from this company!
15. [R24] Noom Weight Loss 3/5 · US App works when it works: The app has a lot of power, but it is not easy to find things. It often doesn’t work where you just get a lot of spinning when you try to open it. In addition, the Support people don’t even know where things are or what is available or not available. You get different answers from different support people when you ask a question. Noom needs to boost its support and fix all
16. [R10] Noom Weight Loss 1/5 · US No iPad App?: Unbelievable the money that Noom is taking in and the amount of reading required to use the app… no iPad app? Booooo 👎
17. [R27] Noom Weight Loss 3/5 · US Notifications: I love the noom app, I have lost 9 lbs in the last 18 days by using the macro tracker, and learning the micro habits. My main issue is that noom doesn't give you true notification controls, you can only turn on and off a few, but I receive 4 notifications a day from noom that I don't have the option to turn off (eat more green foods, start getting steps in, get noom coins, and log

20. [R54] WeightWatchers Program 5/5 · US My weight loss: This program for weight loss is the best. I feel like I am eating normally and it doesn’t feel like I am on a diet. It is a point system and to me it is easy to track.
21. [R57] WeightWatchers Program 4/5 · US Love it!: The app keeps me on track!
22. [R81] Cal AI 3/5 · US Synch issues: I really like this app after using MyFitnessPal for years I tried Cal AI and I really like it a lot. The issue is the sync to apple health is unreliable. It syncs some entries and not others. so until they figure that out I’m going back to my fitness pal
23. [R66] Lose It! 5/5 · US Use it to Lose It!: An excellent tool to guide/assist/track your journey to a healthy lifestyle. I’ve been using it semi-regularly since 2011, so 15 years! It’s gotten more and more sophisticated over time and now offers a wealth of information to help you manage your weight and overall health and fitness. I highly recommend it.

31. [R97] Calorie Counter 5/5 · US Best Manager: This tool is a great way to track and manage your nutrition! So many options. Give it some time and check out all the features. Once you become comfortable with it, it’s a great educational tool to understand what’s going in your body.
32. [R100] Calorie Counter 5/5 · US Help me alot many thanks: Thank you for this helpful app , i do appreciate it.
33. [R103] Calorie Counter 5/5 · US Great Weight Loss/Maintenance & Healthy Eating App!: In October 2023, I was diagnosed with Diabetes and prescribed Metformin. I weighed close to 200 lbs. I decided that I was NOT going to be diabetic! I made an appointment with a dietician and started using My Net Diary. Within 3 months I had lost 40 lbs using this app. To date, I use My Net Diary daily to track my calorie intake. I have suc
34. [R106] Calorie Counter 5/5 · US The GOAT tracking app: Super good
35. [R1] Noom Weight Loss 2/5 · US 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,
36. [R2] Noom Weight Loss 5/5 · US 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.
37. [R47] Noom Weight Loss 4/5 · US Good, With Limitations: I had a paid account for years (though I now realize I didn’t use most of the paid offerings) and Noom helped me lose about 8 lbs. The app can be glitchy, though, and every time there are updates things change/may not work. I now have a free account, and I don’t know if that’s why I can only track food on the current day (which resets at midnight). For a night owl like myse
