I really love the Slimming World App. It’s so easy to use and log your progress especially when exercising and keeping track of your daily food intake. The Barcode feature helps you to make a better choice when scanning groceries or eating out. Plus, there’s great real life inspiring weight loss stories to read & you can listen to Podcasts too. I never get tired of using the Slimming World App because there’s so much on offer from new recipes and ideas for special occasions the app is always being updated with new ideas it never gets boring. I am still working my way through the Podcasts & Stories. These stories have great insight and are relatable. It’s a Great App I would highly recommend it for weight loss because it is extremely supportive. You get access to the Slimming World App for Free when joining a Slimming World Group in your local area that’s what I did because I wanted to be weighed each week so I could keep track of my weight loss and reach my target or you can pay a subscription for the App as well. Thanks Slimming World for creating such a Great App. 🥰

First off this app really is excellent for Slimming World members. In my opinion it has brought a level of support and resources that has if anything revolutionised the plan. The app is packed full of podcasts, recipes, guides/syn guides etc, direct contact to SW and of course the planner. The planner can either be used as the title suggests to plan your meals, or you could use it as a food diary. It’ll tot up your healthy extras and syns, making it very easy to keep track. The app also has a scanner for barcodes. This is super handy as you can scan any food in the supermarket you are unsure of and see instantly what it’s syn value is. If the item you’re scanning is not on the slimming world database, you can add it and SW will upload it with the syn value at a later date. All in all it is an absolutely fantastic app. However there is a negative… The negative is that it is slightly disorganised. If for example you are filling in your planner and you are searching for ‘pasta’, you will get a list of everything except ‘pasta’ first. So pasta salad, pasta salad cheese, pasta salad pesto, tomato pasta sauce, carbonara pasta sauce… etc’. Infact glancing at the planner now just ‘pasta’ features at number 13 on the list. It is the same with other things such as chicken, bacon etc. It’s not the end of the world and the app is still excellent, but the lack of this kind or organisation is frustrating and does detract. If slimming world could just organise it a bit better, this app would be absolutely outstanding. Nevertheless for those on the slimming world plan, this app is a must have and is a very valuable resource. Note - this app is not recommended for non slimming word members, you need to be a paid member to use it.

I’ve been a member since 2018, and I never thought much of the old app. However, this new app has everything I’ve ever wanted from the old one, and it’s so much easier to navigate. The barcode scanner and food diary is a very long overdue addition, which has made food optimising a whole lot easier. Now, instead of scrolling through pages and pages of irrelevant search results on the old syns database, I can now simply scan a product in the shop and get the results right away, so it’s simpler to make healthy choices. So far I have only come across one product that wasn’t recognised by the scanner, and I was given the option to send photos of the packaging to SW for them to add it on, so it seems as though the database is growing and improving all of the time.My only complaint is that I’m currently breastfeeding a toddler, so I should only be allowed 3A choices and 1B, but by default the planner shows my allowance as 5As and 3Bs, which is meant for much younger babies. This is misleading and does make logging foods harder.

This app COULD be quite good except for 1 MAJOR flaw and also 1 very annoying flaw. The major flaw is NO BARCODE SCANNER, WW and other weight loss apps have one so why not Slimming World. Reading through the reviews it’s a VERY common complaint and you always respond with some platitudes about passing the info onto your developers and then absolutely NOTHING happens. Like most people I suspect I haven’t got time to stand in the supermarket looking up everything with your poor food search whereas a barcode scanner would make things so much quicker. If your developers are incapable of solving it may I suggest that you get some new ones because this is BADLY letting you down and making your app seem VERY POOR in comparison to others. The other flaw I mentioned is the inability to add activity within the app we are encouraged to take exercise but if you want to add it onto the planner you have to use the desktop version of the site which is pretty pathetic really.Get your act together Slimming World this app is just not GOOD ENOUGH 😡Re Developer response - where did I say I was enjoying the app for the most part that’s just wishful thinking I never said that. Just the usual platitudes about passing on the need for a scanner that will just be ignored the way it always is - total waste of time.
