- [R2] WeightWatchers Program Returnee: I’m eating better than I have in years and having some good returns. Access to meetings and workouts online are a boon ☺️
- [R20] WeightWatchers Program 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.
- [R21] WeightWatchers Program 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
- [R61] 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
- [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.
- [R30] 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.
- [R70] Workout for Women Free Version So Frustrating: I do not care if I have to watch ads but what I do care about is if I get a pop up screen with no continuation option only advertising the paid version. The workout is available with ads yet the interface traps you with their predatory ads.
- [R82] Workout for Women They say is free but they charge you: They offer a free week then when you accept they charge you. Also doesn’t let you use the free part of the app anymore. Very disappointed I used to love this app
- [R23] 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.
- [R47] WeightWatchers Program Great app: I would rate it 5, but the scanner stopped working. Please fix this as I need it when shopping
- [R63] Workout for Women Cannot access paid subscription: I was logged out of the app recently and cannot log back in to access my workouts and benefits of my paid subscription
- [R67] Workout for Women Subscription: Cancelled subscription and still got charged for it. No spot in app to manage no place on website either. Went to contact support and every time I hit submit it would say the request couldn’t be submitted because it’s spam. Don’t get app it not free it will make you sign up for a subscription and not let you cancel it.
- [R11] WeightWatchers Program 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.
- [R25] WeightWatchers Program Weight Watchers App: The WW App is easy and convenient to keep track of my WW Points. I hope to lose the 40 lbs that Is my goal of achieving 150lbs. And I a “Weight Watcher Lifer”…”WW4life”🙏🏽👍🏽👸🏽
- [R72] Workout for Women I shouldn’t have to pay!!!😤😡: I shouldn’t have to pay for this app because I’m not wasting money for an app that i am going to end up deleting when I reach my goal and it’s a waste of of money.
- [R29] WeightWatchers Program 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.
- [R109] Workout for Women Charged Before Expected Trial Ended: I signed up for this app because it advertised a fee trial. I was charged the same day I signed up and wasn’t given the advertised 3 days free. I tried contacting the company via email and no response. I tried to request a refund with Apple and they denied it. Very disappointed by the lack of support and misleading free trial terms. Don’t trust this app.
