  1. [R20] WeightWatchers Program 5/5 · US A Great Help To Keeping Your Plan On Track: This app is a powerful tool in tracking your progress and helping you reach your weight loss and fitness goals. Easy to use with a huge database of foods, restaurants, and store brands.
  2. [R21] WeightWatchers Program 5/5 · US My favorite diet plan that works for me.: Many years ago I lost about 80 pounds with WW. My favorite diet plan of all times. It’s balanced, healthy, easy to follow if you are serious about loosing weight. Love all the recipes, free foods, and easy to navigate ap. I was able to maintain the weight loss for years. It a diet plan that is so easy to adapt to your life style, it’s a realistic way of ea
  3. [R65] Noom Weight Loss 5/5 · US 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
  4. [R71] Noom Weight Loss 5/5 · US 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!
  5. [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.
  6. [R19] WeightWatchers Program 5/5 · US Revised application: The new app is easier to navigate and is very user friendly
  7. [R66] 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.
  8. [R82] 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
  9. [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.
  10. [R47] WeightWatchers Program 5/5 · US Great app: I would rate it 5, but the scanner stopped working. Please fix this as I need it when shopping
  11. [R63] 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.
  12. [R103] Noom Weight Loss 2/5 · US Extremely slow: Too slow that I’m unable to load the app
  13. [R1] WeightWatchers Program 1/5 · GB Don’t like new app: Too much on the app now. Seems more time consuming tracking.
  14. [R67] 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
  15. [R107] 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
  16. [R119] Noom Weight Loss 4/5 · US Works: Excellent platform - it truly works and I’ve achieved results I was looking for. Now I’m in the habit of logging meals, and doesn’t feel like a huge burden. Highly recommend.
  17. [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.
  18. [R74] Noom Weight Loss 5/5 · US Support: Best support since the WW days, sitting in a church hall with neighbors about recipe substitutions and plateau busting.
  19. [R94] Noom Weight Loss 1/5 · US Awful customer service: Given that this medication is so powerful, it is their responsibility to have even basic customer service to support clients. They do not. Prepare for your account to get mishandled over and over again. Loved the app, their call center and long delays in response to serious issues is horrific.
  20. [R111] Noom Weight Loss 3/5 · US Unreliable prescription refills: Pros: the curriculum is genuinely helpful. Cons: the prescription refills are unreliable. If they arrive late you get the run around. Their response is to say sorry and change nothing. Here is their response to my email. Thanks for reaching out Noom support! I hear you completely, and your fury is 100% justified. Being a loyal member for over a year only t
  21. [R62] 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.
