Pick Vida Health if

you are looking for a comprehensive health management program with human coaching for conditions like weight loss or diabetes, and your employer or insurance provides access, but be prepared for potential app frustrations and service issues R5R11R14R38.

Pick Da Fit if

you have a Da Fit compatible smartwatch and need a basic companion app for general activity tracking and notifications, and you are willing to tolerate frequent ads and potential data inaccuracies .

Evidence note: Vida Health's reviews are heavily skewed towards negative experiences with customer service and medication access, suggesting a significant disconnect between the program's intent and user experience. Da Fit's reviews are predominantly about the app's performance as a smartwatch companion, with many complaints about accuracy and ads.

  1. [R2] Vida Health 4/5 · US Format: This app would be much better if the layout was customizable. I hate scrolling down to the bottom to log food and other stuff.
  2. [R5] Vida Health 5/5 · US First time: This is my first time using a weight loss program and I have to say I love this app. I love all the tools and the accountability it provides and my health coach Stephani is amazing! So encouraging and positive!
  3. [R9] Vida Health 3/5 · US Decent app, but could use a couple of upgrades.: I like the Vida app, but I wish it tracked my steps, like MyFitnessPal. Instead it wants to know how many minutes I walked, which I’ve never worried about. I walk 4-5 miles every day, but I do it over the course of the day, not in one session. Also, the food diary is good, but not as good as MyFitnessPal.
  4. [R11] Vida Health 5/5 · US Agradecida: Es una de las mejores plataformas que ha podido llegar a mi vida, la atención personalizada y la forma tan sutil como van transformando tus hábitos es mágica 🌹
  5. [R8] Vida Health 5/5 · US Review: I enjoy the app, but the whole process of joining has been challenging to a non savy tech person.
  6. [R15] Vida Health 3/5 · US Program is great, app experience is lacking…: Love my team I’m working with! They’re the best!! That said, the Home Screen on this app needs an overhaul…tracking my food is a HEADACHE due to having to scroll through all the different “goal trackers” I don’t even use. An option to customize this by keeping only the trackers you want and being able to order them according to your needs would be a ga
  7. [R24] Vida Health 3/5 · US Coaching is good but app is buggy: Coaches are good but the buggy app is frustrating to use. Typical problems include not properly syncing with Apple Health, limited food database, etc. But the worst is now it is flooding my chat with auto notifications and messages many times a day about how my blood pressure is great. I had to turn off all notifications, and now I can’t even have a chat conver
  8. [R3] Vida Health 3/5 · US Keeps freezing: I don’t know why it keeps freezing. Great potential but it’s frustrating to use. Perhaps a bug fix?
  9. [R6] Vida Health 3/5 · US Food logging: The nutritional facts are incorrect. If you are someone watching your sodium intake you will get depress, most of the time it’s on the high side as well as the protein. Don’t trust it.
  10. [R18] Vida Health 3/5 · US App not bad….but: If the food you are trying to add is not already in their data base and you don’t have a bar code, very difficult to enter what you want or need to enter thus leaving you with inaccurate information or trends.
  11. [R22] Vida Health 1/5 · US Food Logging: This is the worst app to log food. Why don’t you find a way to link it to my fitness pal to make things easier. Also, the food logging is inaccurate with calories, fiber, protein etc
  12. [R4] Vida Health 1/5 · US worst service ever: The worst service I’ve ever had in my entire life, nonprofessional medical associates not easy to work with very hard to navigate system and process overall horrible horrible service
  13. [R7] Vida Health 1/5 · US Worst experience ever since I have had health care coverage: The absolute worst i have ever experienced in a health management company. They only care about costs not about patient care or needs being met. No follow ups continued run around. They simply do not care what’s best for the patient! Never recommending this company to ANYONE!
  14. [R10] Vida Health 1/5 · US You such: Not enough people employed!!!
  15. [R12] Vida Health 3/5 · US Issue resolved: When things go well pleasant individuals, however when there is a glitch there is NO ONE to speak with NO recourse at all. Employers partnering with this program are simply looking to reduce costs. It’s not employee friendly. Medication runs out - that’s your problem. They will not allow more than one month refill at a time. Connected with live agent who escalated issue, receive
  16. [R14] Vida Health 5/5 · US Awareness: Without the program I would not have known that I needed to control my blood pressure better with changes in my lifestyle and when I take my meds. Thank you ❤️
  17. [R38] Vida Health 5/5 · US Accountability: This app will definitely make you accountable for food on a daily basis. Working with my Dietician and Vida team is helping me finally my goals that I could not accomplish without them being by my side. You set goals and track them daily. You have videos to watch to help you to understand the who, what and why are holding you back. Being recently diagnosed with Diabetes- this app h
  18. [R61] Da Fit 1/5 · US Not accurate: Not recommended
  19. [R64] Da Fit 1/5 · US Fitness and motion tracker impossible!: This app does not ask my iPhone 17 Pro Max to accept the fitness and motion tracker so it does not track simple walking. You must shake the watch. I’m disabled so I walk moderately, not run. The watch and app thinks I’m not moving. Useless. I deleted and reinstalled. I reset watch. I removed from Bluetooth and added. Nothing worked. It’s the app. Will return
  20. [R66] Da Fit 3/5 · US Watch: Daily step feature doesn’t measure correctly. BP is way off too.
  21. [R85] Da Fit 2/5 · US Blood pressure monitor, and activity monitor: In accurate blood pressure numbers and measurement. Activity is not measured in minutes any longer, it seems you have to put in hours to get the number of calories burned. Very poor management.
  22. [R13] Vida Health 1/5 · US Terrible: It is awful that you have attached yourself as a requirement to insurance plans to make money off glp1s. This is so unnecessary and the format of having webinars during working hours is extremely inconvenient and unacceptable. This is a waste of time and not necessary. You are impeding on patient’s ability to have resources just to make a dollar and piggy back off a pharmaceutical drug.
  23. [R19] Vida Health 1/5 · US Worst Medical Care Possible: Vida should honestly be ashamed of itself. Completely unethical how they deny medication based on 20 minutes. They are a perfect example of the failure and corruption of the American health insurance industry. Oh and if you tell your assigned RN that they have disrupted your progress through stopping your medication they’ll just drop you and leave you with nothing. Sha
  24. [R25] Vida Health 1/5 · US Ok until it was harmful: I had trouble getting appointments and responses to chats. Then I got some care, enough to get to trade to a large dose of medication but not given enough pills to last until the next appointment. And then the chat was unresponsive again. Working with my primary care doctor to manage adverse effects of suddenly stopping the medication due to lack of support from Vida prov
  25. [R63] Da Fit 3/5 · US Annoying ads: Loved the watch and features. Works beautifully, but I did remove the app from my iPhone last year because every time I open the app I get a full spread advertisement for games and I can’t stop it to get to the app itself. Just restarted the app the other day and I still have the same issue. Frustrating. Thinking about deleting the app and sell the watch.
  26. [R69] Da Fit 3/5 · US Good app: This app has improved overall since I’ve been using it. Although recently they decided to overwhelm ya with popups that was never there before. The functionality of the app has definitely improved even though they added in something that is taking away from that. The popups are getting really annoying very quickly. . So much so I find myself not wanting to use the app at all bcoz of it.
  27. [R82] Da Fit 2/5 · US Good Until Ads: I liked the app until all the ads. I had to pay for the watch so shouldn’t have to watch ads. Going back to Apple Watch
  28. [R88] Da Fit 2/5 · US Opening ads?: Used to love it. But the update now has a loooooooong opening ad before you can get to anything within the app. It has ruined the experience.
