  1. [R2] WeightWatchers Program 5/5 · US Returnee: I’m eating better than I have in years and having some good returns. Access to meetings and workouts online are a boon ☺️
  2. [R11] WeightWatchers Program 5/5 · US Great way to easy weight loss: Found the app an easy way to monitor food intake, activity. I am accountable to myself and found it very easy to use.
  3. [R15] WeightWatchers Program 5/5 · US Love this app: This makes tracking so easy. A person can add recipes/foods as well as search for restaurants.
  4. [R17] WeightWatchers Program 5/5 · US 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
  5. [R1] WeightWatchers Program 1/5 · GB Don’t like new app: Too much on the app now. Seems more time consuming tracking.
  6. [R3] WeightWatchers Program 3/5 · GB 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 ..
  7. [R5] WeightWatchers Program 5/5 · US Great app: Great app and interface
  8. [R6] WeightWatchers Program 3/5 · GB 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.
  9. [R16] WeightWatchers Program 5/5 · US Journey: I have lived the generations of WW programs since 1974. I have always felt I was coming home when I came back after time away. Each revision has refined a realistic plan to be even better. I am enjoying this journey so much and it is working!
  10. [R23] WeightWatchers Program 4/5 · US 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.
  11. [R24] WeightWatchers Program 5/5 · US Love it!!!: I love the WW app it keeps me on track
  12. [R13] WeightWatchers Program 5/5 · US WW App: Great app, easy to use! Worth the time to tracking and following the results. 👍
  13. [R34] WeightWatchers Program 5/5 · US Love the tracking!: I really love the tracking part of the app! I wish I could sign up for just that part and pay a little less. I don’t use the other parts but the food & weight tracking are way above other apps! Keeps me going! I love the scan food & upload a recipe from the web to get the points. & the database of food. So good!
  14. [R35] WeightWatchers Program 5/5 · US Great application!!!!!!!!! Love it and made me control my appetite!!!!: This application made me control food in a fun way!!!!
  15. [R38] WeightWatchers Program 5/5 · US WW App: Wouldn’t be successful without the app
  16. [R8] WeightWatchers Program 5/5 · US 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.
  17. [R22] WeightWatchers Program 5/5 · US I couldn’t stay motivated without this app!: Thank you WW!
  18. [R29] WeightWatchers Program 4/5 · US Not Alone: It’s getting started the best part is you don’t have to do it alone. Whenever you feel weak, you can go online and attend a workshop to help support you. But it’s really the encouragement and support you get in the face-to-face meetings.
  19. [R62] BodyFast 5/5 · US Great App: Free or premium versions of this App are wonderful guide’s for IF. They are very helpful and informative.
  20. [R69] BodyFast 3/5 · US Where’s the coaching?: I don’t like that I had to choose to upgrade before I even tested the free version. I wanted to get serious about weight loss so I opted to go for it, as it said there was coaching. Ok, but where? The only “coaching” I see is a bunch of blog posts. Nice app with lots of info but not worth paying for IMO. Also, I wish the eating window showed as a different color when you’re
  21. [R87] BodyFast 3/5 · GB Okay but….: This offered a good visual reminder of fasting timings and count down . But it lacks some necessary features like the ability to log food, water / drinks etc and get a calorie count. Or is it that the free version doesn’t allow this? But can’t see a menu option to log - only scan a plate?
  22. [R93] BodyFast 3/5 · GB More free sessions: Good app but needs more free sessions
  23. [R61] BodyFast 2/5 · US 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.
  24. [R64] BodyFast 1/5 · US 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
  25. [R67] BodyFast 1/5 · US Charges without Approval: 6-2026 Update: Still dealing with charges from this company!! I had to go thru my bank to get credited from charges since April 2025!! All they give you is same email response repeatedly to cancel. I have no acct number, no company phone number, email doesn’t work; they have it set up to be impossible to cancel. Original review: For months my Their charges keep happening.
  26. [R76] BodyFast 1/5 · US Creepy scammy absolutely not: I paid for a 7 day trial and found the app useless. Here I am on day 6 of 7 and they attempted to charge me $32 to continue the trial without any prior notification. My bank luckily declined the transaction and paused my card because it was super suspicious. Absolute scam and thieves. Cancelled the subscription and you’re still trying to steal my money! I will be push
