Noom

I like aspects of the Noom platform but agree with the other reviewers, there are plenty of other free apps that I can utilize some of the most helpful features; tracking weight and calories. Some of the articles are interesting but I don’t think any of the information is that earth shattering. The interaction with the one on one coach has felt more like a formality or chore than helpful. My biggest pet peeve is the group message board! It is set up so clumsy and is so hard to follow and is not a feature that I enjoy or use that often as a result. My boyfriend also signed up but he somehow managed to avoid paying and uses it just for tracking. I was a sucker and paid for it and will not be renewing the subscription at the end of the 6 months.

The content is great! But the app is severely lacking. If I’m in the middle of an article and need to get back to the home page, I must click the back button to several times to get back to home. Of course this also means that if I return to the article I must go through every page to get back to where I left off.
The worst thing about the app though, is the logging. I would expect a weight loss app to be on point in the logging department but that’s not the case with Noom. The barcode scanner doesn’t always work and when it does, if there’s a food not already in its database it doesn’t give you the opportunity to add the label data (I know we’re supposed to get rid of labels but not like this)! Searching the food database is almost as frustrating. When I search a food item a ton of suggestions come up but mostly they’re clearly input from other clients. Once I select a food the app provides four of the most common weights or quantities. This is smart, but if I have a different measure, it’s a crapshoot if an appropriate measure will come up. There should ALWAYS be measures for ounces, grams, tablespoons, teaspoons, and other . I don’t always see those but I have seen big bowl, small bowl, big cup, small cup, pat (for butter)...! The app gives me the opportunity to report incorrect data but I have no idea if they actually research the report and correct the data. Finally, I’m unable to pre-populate meals for a future day although it’s a suggestion for accountability.
As I said initially, the articles are great and help me to make decisions about my food choices and why, but it’s tiresome to have to use another app to continue to log what I eat.
If Noom ever makes these improvements it would definitely become a 4 or 5 star app.

Like others trying to cancel this service it is not user friendly. You can not talk to a person only a message is sent to your phone. I signed up to see if this would be a right fit for me and it wasn't. My 14 day trail ended on the 5/14 and have been trying to get refunded. today is 5/15. Like ***...I haven't interacted with their platform and believe that since they do not have customer support that they prey on people to forget about their deadline. I would not recommend this service since you can not call and speak to a live person. They use custom meal plans as a way to get you to look at their product however a meal plan cost more than just signing up for their service. Personally I think this is an over priced food log service.

I LOVE Noom! I have tried so many ways to lose weight and I could never stick to any of the diets or plans. But once I tried Noom, it all changed. It's so easy to follow and stay up with. You see results almost instantly. I've lost so much more weight than I thought I would so far and I'm still going! Definitely recommend this to anyone who is hesitant. Just give it a try, and I guarantee you'll love it

I have used food trackers before but I actually learned about food with Noom. I am making much better decisions. I have lost weight and feel confident about maintaining a healthier lifestyle moving forward.

I am very happy with this program. I have learned a lot and don't feel like I'm on a diet but I'm losing weight.

Noom has been a huge encouragement! It is informative, motivating, and easy to navigate. It allows me to track food, steps, and weight using my phone. I’m learning A LOT about the science behind weight gain and loss. This is working for me.

I am loving Noom! Not only is it working for me (5.5 weeks in and 8 lbs down), but I'm learning so much! The daily "lessons" are always interesting and really make you think about more than just the number on the scale. For me, it's empowering!

So far I'm enjoying the Noom app and have had some success loosing weight. I find the daily challenges and articles informative and engaging. The group support is also a motivational component to the program helping to keep you honest and share your common goals and setbacks. Overall I find Noom to be an easy to use, convenient and more personal weight loss plan then meetings, weigh ins and office visits that are part of other plans. Noom is designed for the 21st century user.

I have gotten all that I wanted and needed from Noom. The communication with other Noomers and sharing with them has been very effective, as has the coaching and check-ins each week. Noom is completely changing my mindset about eating, and logging meals has made me much more mindful of what I eat. Most effective weight loss program I have ever used. I know that it will stick this time!

I have really loved the daily reminders and tips, and the gradual changes are just becoming part of my lifestyle. It feels way more sustainable than other “diet” programs. I like that the actual research behind the methods is used and shared.

The psychology and truth revealed in this app is simply astounding.. this is what people need to make a true change in their life. There are no points, no prepackaged meals and no .. it’s a training in a skill set to allow a customer to do for themselves, for the rest of their lives

Noon fits my personality and busy lifestyle. The food log is the most convenient one I’ve used. I love the #psych tricks and the encouragement. The cost is the same that my husband pays for , but the convenience is so much better for a #nerd like me!

This really is a program I believe in and it has made such a positive impact on my life. Not only have I lost weight, I have also been educated on weight loss and life style changes.

I have learned how to succeed in weight loss and the science behind weight loss. U make it interesting and fun. I have a long way to go but u'r app and info have given me the tools to succeed. Thank you.

Noom has provided me with a very practical and usable weight loss solution.
Not too demanding of my time, affordable for anyone, and it takes approximately a month to begin to learn that weight loss is a life style change.
I would recommend, and already have to anyone who is serious about improving their health and well being.

Noom has helped me think about what I eat and why which has helped me to make better decisions. I find I am sticking with this better than the free apps that I have used in the past (*** and I think that is because of the interaction with others. It’s like going to a *** meeting without leaving home. I do agree with some others that it is a little pricey, but if it helps me to get back to a healthy weight then it is worth it.

I love it. helps alot.

Great program to help you make lifestyle changes that can last. Noom will teach you how to alter the way you approach dietary changes, weight loss and fitness.

Noom has helped me to evaluate what I choose to eat. It is easy to use. The daily "lessons" are helpful as well. Maybe it's the place I'm in in my life right now, but I no longer need to lose my weight yesterday. I can concentrate on being healthy and losing weight as a result....if that makes sense. I've tried many programs, I think this is the best one yet!
