Slimming World 12+

I love this app. So much content from a huge recipe bank, members stories of their weight loss, exercise routines to suit all regardless of ability or mobility, recording your weight loss, your weekly goals and feelings on you week plus an ever increasing data base of food to assist you to know what you can have on plan, whether a free food or synned. Brilliant when at the supermarket because it has barcode scanner, so if the item is on the data base you will see the information associated with that whether it is syns, HXA/B or a free food.

It really helps me keep on track, especially with the activity videos which you can choose and do when feeling energetic - you can also bookmark your favourites so they are at the top of the list ready for action, to save you trawling through to find it.

They seem to have thought of everything.

Hi there, We're so glad you're enjoying the app as much as we do - Thank you so much for taking the time to leave your lovely 5* review. Best wishes, Emily x

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.

Hi there, thanks so much for your honest feedback. I'm so pleased you're enjoying using our app for the most part and I can understand why a barcode scanner would be a useful addition to the app - I'll certainly pass your feedback on😊. Georgina

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.

Hi there! I'm so happy that your finding the app easier than the original app to use 😊. As you've mentioned, the app currently selects the highest quantity of Healthy Extras with a breastfeeding member so the member can decided what Healthy Extras they have per day depending on babies milk dependency. We really appreciate your feedback with this and I have passed this on to our Technical team. Wishing you the very best. Kerry 💖
