All in all this ia a great app. I've lost 20 +pounds and have kept it off. I really like the accountability of the progress tracker. the lessons are very informative and the threads are nice in our groups. I never imagined I would lose the weight much less keep it off, but what I've accomplished is a lifestyle change. I'm more aware of what and why I am eating, and when I feel like a cookie, I don't feel bad having one, because the shift in my diet and exercise means I don't have to feel guilty.

The group discussion board is difficult to navigate. The posts are in chronological order (recent to oldest). However, when someone comments on your post or adds to a discussion you are participating in, you cannot view it immediately, you have to look for it. It would be easier if there was a shortcut on the group section. The food tracking is easy to navigate.

it's a great supportive program. I just wish it counted actual calories as an option instead of just general idea of what you eat. but it is less pressure to not micromanage so it's not a bad thing. I like that the scale connects with the app and I can see a timeline of my weight fluctuation. the coaches are always so nice and pleasant. I have lost weight on this program in the past as well.

I'm always wary of these sorts of programs, but this one was honestly life-changing. Totally changed my relationship to food by just shifting my thinking little steps at a time. No BMI. My coach was a great listener, struck a good balance of checking in and giving suggestions. The food log was simple and intuitive, rather than other apps where I have to stress over finding the exact calorie&etc numbers. If your Healthcare gives you access to this, go for it.

only good thing about this app is health coaches. I gave it one star due to the inaccurate algorithm calculating protein, fiber, sugar and fats. it does not credit you for what you actually consume, it is very short. also, the photo of the package part and barcode scanner does not work at all. You'd think that when your insurance forces you to use a certain app for weight loss, the app would work properly.

Besides the fact that the app has minimal functionality compared to other competitor's apps, the scale is completely unreliable and fluctuates 8 to 10 lbs daily without being moved; it is also not suited for larger people with large thighs. Now, my insurance company made it a requirement to use this app or they won't cover certain medications. Forcing people to use this app is reason enough to give it 1 star, but add on all the other issues, and my review will stay this way for a very long time.

The latest update of this app changed the way food is logged and now I can't go back and review older entries. If I click on a day in the past to see what I ate it just shows the first item I entered that day over and over again. for example if I entered coffee, yogurt, and blueberries when I try to view that meal later it shows coffee, coffee, coffee.

They need to add a basic cal tracker... for those of us trying to lose weight on the App it would very beneficial. when it asks to track a meal it should have a option to punch in the cals for those of us who want to track. and possibly chart it with weight chart. its hard enough to lose weight. anything that helps get closer to goal is worth putting.

Still in the initial phase of the program but am a bit flabbergasted with the lack of integration. Example: Pulls my Fitbit activity data but not any other metrics that are recorded there. This causes the need for manual input even though that data is readily available. Honestly, initial sign up was for the free smart scale that ended up having less features than what I already have. Hopefully the program/coaching is better than my initial impressions. Otherwise, more e-waste.

The last update in late May/early June the food barcode scanner was added which was great! However manually adding meals is no longer functional. Before I liked at least being able to add to my food log just for awareness but now that is no longer an option. I don't want to scan each and every bar code every meal.
