Do you want to eat less unhealthy food? Do you want to lose weight? Then why not try the FoodT app! Download this app and choose 3 types of food/drink you want to consume less of and then play away! Simply press the item on the screen when there’s a green circle and don’t when there’s a red circle. By playing this game on your phone you will be a part of exciting new scientific research. Each time you play you’ll be contributing to research at The University of Exeter. This app is based on a similar online game, which was shown to reduce users’ food intake and weight after playing the game four times. The FoodT app will ask you a few questions before and after you play so that our research team can see whether it helps you reduce your food intake, craving and weight. You will also be asked for a few basic details about yourself (age, sex) but the app will not collect any information about your identity. All the data you provide will be anonymous. All data from the app will be sent anonymously to our researchers at the University of Exeter and so by downloading the app you consent to this (Check the terms and conditions for more information). The current version of the app is available in English and a limited number of other languages. If successful, we will look to translate into more languages.

Too early to rate? Have feedback

FYI- I went to the link to give feedback about the operation of the app and I didn’t find any place to leave information so I’m doing it here. Frequently, at the end of using the program, my screen will not respond to some of the gliding lines, and then to the yes/no answers at the bottom. It’s like it’s frozen. And when I used it today, I could not get the bottom slider line to move at all. Eventually, the yes/no options work. Overall, easy to use. (Not even one week in yet)

I can’t believe it but I feel different. I am not thinking about food all the time it’s weird. Its only been a short time but I actually really think this works!

I just downloaded the app and played the game once. I have high hopes this will reduce or preferably remove my cravings for junk in mass quantities.

Looks like an interesting app and I wanted to start using it, but can’t get beyond then data input stage where I’m trying to log how often I eat cookies, bread, drink alcohol, etc. The screen goes dead and I can’t log more than the ‘Never’ first green button. Help, developers!

Sorry to hear about this issue. We have now released an update that should resolve this error. We'd love to hear about whether FoodT helps you to resist unhealthy snacks in due course!
