1. [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
2. [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
3. [R71] MyFitnessPal 5/5 · US The best calorie counter: I have used MyFitnessPal on and off for years and keep coming back to it after trying others. This app has the biggest database of foods, is the most accurate and easiest to use. I love that they added the GLP1 tracker because that is why I was using a different app but now I will come back again. The price for premium is great and makes it easier to use consistently so i
4. [R67] MyFitnessPal 2/5 · US Terrible new diary interface: They updated the diary interface and removed a standalone diary tab. Now your food diary is unset Today tab and shows each meal as a lumped list with no individual food info, no calorie or macros until you click into that meal. It was so much better when you could see all meal details at a glance. Tally not very user friendly anymore
5. [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.
6. [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
7. [R65] MyFitnessPal 5/5 · US My fitness Calorie counter: I really enjoy using this app. Very easy to use
8. [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.
9. [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
10. [R77] MyFitnessPal 4/5 · US Fantastic, has very annoying issues: This is by far the best calorie/macro tracking app out there, no doubt. Amazing catalog of foods and barcodes, love it, i’ve used it nearly daily for the past 3 years. Biggest issue I have though is once every few weeks I randomly get signed out and all my data cleared randomly. I’ve gotten it to sync back up after a while but this continuously happening stops
11. [R73] MyFitnessPal 2/5 · US Great app when it works: I appreciate that it’s free but the fact that it keeps logging you out is beyond frustrating. There are better apps out there now, so no need to keep dealing with this.
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. [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!
14. [R96] MyFitnessPal 3/5 · US Lack Luster: If you want to count calories its an ok app but its time consuming filtering everything. Unless you pay for the subscription which actually allows you to scan products Im not sure it’s worth it and the subscription is overpriced for what it does. I plan to keep looking for a better app.
15. [R80] MyFitnessPal 4/5 · US Decent App However: This app for the years has gotten gradually worse and worse I used to rate it five stars, but over the course of several years I noticed that several features that were once free are no longer available, put without having to pay for them such as the barcode scan and dealing with increasingly more and more ads on this app just recently I tried logging some food on this app, and
16. [R31] 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.
17. [R76] MyFitnessPal 1/5 · US Beware! 0 stars for this app: I’m being charged an ANNUAL fee EVERY MONTH for a Premium level. Trying to fix this is just an AI run-around. They tell me to cancel. Yes, Did that - cancelled August 7th, 2025, according to their record of my account on the App. It’s now July 2026, and I have been charged $79.00 Every Single Month. There should be a deep forensic audit of their accounting. I could g
18. [R112] MyFitnessPal 1/5 · US Horrible: The audio log doesn’t work at all. in fact it doesn’t show up on the screen with either premium or premium plus. I tried to get this fixed, but if you contact Tech Support, you get a chat bot and they will email you back later just saying the exact same thing that is in the Help article.
