WeightWatchers 12+

Hey I love the app it helps so much on my weight loss journey, altho there could be some improvements (hopefully these can be taken on board) then this app would rock five stars! Firstly on the connect part when you leave a comment or reply there is no option to edit the reply only delete so is a pain if you make a spelling mistake as you have to re-wrote the whole thing and if people have already replied once you delete you also lose their replies, and also in those replies the option to add a picture would be great so you can show someone what you mean as opposed to writing it all out! And on the food diary/record bit if you could add the option to take a snap shot/photo of the food you have eaten at that particular time it would be so much better so when you are out you can just take a quick photo of your food and either calculate later for convenience or straight away but also have a visual record of your weekly meals! Also the option to record the food you have eaten all week and generate a list for when you do your shopping next week using the foods you consumed this week! Hope you gifts might take my tops on board! Thankyou for a great app

I started this programme at the start of November and was introduced to this app to help stay on track. It is fun to track food as well as log food that isn’t on there. It is also nice to connect with like minded supportive people and get some suggestions for trying new things. A lot of people I know consider diets as just eating vegetables. Try this out and you’ll see it really isn’t.
I didn’t give this a five star review because there are some issues with the app regarding the tracking of food. It would be easier to copy and paste over ingredients to another day if you make food for two or three days (cost effective so it is worth thinking about). Plus I am with a partner who is on the same plan and it would be nice to share things easily so you don’t double up on tracking. It is a small thing but it could make a world of difference.
Fit points could be explained a lot clearer as well. I have noted that I am not the only one confused by how a short leisurely walk will get more points than a brisk fast walk. If it was less arbitrary, more people would understand the benefit.
The last thing of note: while it is great to be able to input food that isn’t currently on the app, I have noticed some discrepancies between similar/same items I.e. the point value is different. This needs to be monitored and combined otherwise people will pick the ones with the lower points.
Other than that, this has really helped me.

I’ve used this for a while and it’s definitely better than it was. A greater range of things on there (although the search function never seems to work, even if you write the correct name) and it just seems easier to operate. However inputting numbers is really a pain. I want to input values in hundreds of grams because a “portion” is meaningless and seems pretty tiny when you look at the calories. You have to scroll instead of typing to input numbers on food presumably because it’s American and people there use imperial measurements but this is pretty tedious and frustrating for we Europeans. It’s also annoying that you can’t input your exercise more precisely - it only asks for time and intensity, and only low/medium/high. I’d like to be able to input the distance I’ve run over what time - this would show the difference in effort more precisely. I don’t have and don’t want a Fitbit. It’s not really designed for people who take exercise seriously. It would also be better if weight watchers could spend some time inputting the correct calculations of popular foods in restaurants and supermarkets etc to take account of the “zero” food in them - like in eg a chicken salad sandwich, because eating out is more difficult to accurately self calculate now there are more zero foods. But all said, I quite like it.
