Life changing. I never thought any weight loss program would ever work for me, and maybe that's still true, because Noom is so much more than a simple weight loss program. As they themselves say, it's psychology! Presented in a current, humorous style, Noom helped you get inside the Why's of your eating, helps you recognize and correct/combat/counteract what's not working, giving you helpful and picture tools to make real changes in your life. I initially thought I'd just use the free trial and then quit, because I didn't want to pay so much. But now I just finished my first week, and after the first two days I have had steady weight loss every day, and suddenly it IS worth it to pay for this, until I finish the course at least, because I don't want this life changing to end. I will also say that the principles they teach you can be applied in many aspects of your life. Since the world has changed so much with the pandemic, this kind of help to examine yourself and the why's of your behavior, for me, has been a really amazing thing to help me start to get out of the funk of pandemic fatigue, whatever. I'm starting to feel more focused and functional as a human being. Thanks Noom Nerds (they said it, not me 😉) for helping me regain some control of my life. Losing weight is just one very happy effect of that. 🤗

Really helping me improve my relationship with food!. I joined Noom because I was desperate. I’m tired of losing and gaining the same weight (and more) over and over. I’ve tried a lot of programs, and while losing weight is almost never an issue for me, keeping it off is. My eating habits were broken, and while I had success with WeightWatchers and MyFitnessPal, the former’s use of 0-point foods was no good for someone like me, who will overindulge on anything she feels she’s given license to, and the latter focused so much on calories, it sometimes made every food seem the same, so I would try to game the system to get as much food as I could and be scared of treats. Not good either. Noom is teaching me to listen to my hunger cues, think about nutrition, allow myself treats, and be more mindful about food in general. It is really helping! The weight is coming off, but more importantly, I feel my attitude and outlook on food changing, and I’m enjoying what I eat more instead of stressing about it. This gives me greater faith the weight will stay off. Two changes I wish they would make would be to allow people to log in advance, so we can strategize for big days, like holidays, and not to make it so after I log a meal, I have to go back into log another one; it’s a bit annoying to have to take extra steps when I’m logging. These are minor annoyances, though. Overall, I love Noom, and I’m ending Week 4 16 lbs down!

Life changing, if you work the program.. I hear people say “Noom didn’t work for me”, and what I know is they didn’t work for Noom. The program is fool proof if you follow it. Read the articles, use the psych tricks, use the tips, follow the suggestions. They offer millions of ideas, pick what works for you and your life and apply it! Make the daily habit changes over time. Let yourself mess up from time to time and be OK with it. Push yourself to try just a bit harder each day. Celebrate yourself with each little success. Even if the scale went up this morning by half a Lb, today, I’m gonna drink more water and eat 1 more green food. It’s all about small, daily changes, that slowly change to habits, which eventually become sustainable lifestyle choices. This program and app will work for anyone who is willing to read the articles, apply a few of the strategies, and use the daily tools it gives you. I personally lost 60lbs in 8 months back in 2021. Had to stop for a pregnancy. Now that I’m back on the program, all the old habits are slowly coming back to me and I’m already physically feeling better and down 8lbs in my first month back with Noom. This program works if you are willing to do the work for it. Don’t just read 2 days worth and give up. Push yourself to do and be better.

Noom. Good: Noom is working for me after many years of trialed weight loss. I do not feel deprived. The combination of tracking food, exercise and water along with the education is good. Very glad I joined. Price was reasonable. Opportunities: Too many inaccuracies in the food log database and too many entries for the same food type. On demand coach response time is slow (days instead of hours). Group coach is too scripted. Groups include to broad of differences (The FB group I joined is more beneficial). Too little transparency with app capabilities (I.e. have to reach out to coach to find out how color categories are calculated, how to make recipes, how to see average of color intake over time, etc.), too little transparency on cost and how it is calculated. Members compare prices, which lends itself into thinking price per month varies. Likewise feedback amongst members seems to imply continuing membership prices and what information you retain also lacks transparency (I am not to that stage yet for first hand experience). Suggestion: Build on app to allow members to see to see caloric intake, food colors, water intake, on average in time segments. This will help members to correlate weight gain/loss and plateaus with areas of the program they can improve in. To go back day by day doesn’t give a birds eye look. Perhaps coaches can see this, but members should be able to see directly.

Good program, but has some issues.. I am now going into my fifth week with Noom. I find it to be a good overall concept and I have learned many things about myself, and about nutrition, and human nature, but am I losing weight? Not much, but I do plan to stay with the program for at least another month. While I feel that the basic concept is sound, there are some issues that need adjusting. (1) The program’s daily lessons are centered around a working woman’s or man’s environment, i.e. office , co-workers, break room, etc. They don’t seem to realize that there are those of us who have left this part of our lives behind and moved on, or, there doesn’t seem to be any appropriate material for a stay-at-home mom or dad, or for any other younger, or older persons out of this working” category. This hard for me to follow. (2) They tout one-on-one attention, and, truly, you are given a food coach, assigned to a group, and given a group coach as well. However, I’m not sure that these coaches are not bots. Asked questions sometimes are not answered for 24-48 hours (and never on a weekend). When they are answered, they are impersonal and often do not apply to the real situation at hand. I do think that this customer service aspect could be improved, or, strike the personal touch from the app advertising. In short, is this a good program? Yes, but if you want quicker weight loss and personal attention, I would take my business to Weight Watchers.

Great program!. I’m just finishing my second week and despite taking it slow, I’m noticing a difference! I’ve been carrying the extra weight from my youngest for the past 5 years now. And the pandemic just added to it. As well as now I have a work at home job on my computer all day! It’s not exactly a recipe for success! I knew I needed a change. I knew I wasn’t gonna just do what I needed to do on my own. I started to look into the Noom app and liked what I saw. I committed to 6 months, and after 2 weeks I’m glad I did. Paying for the program adds motivation to keep it up, but I’m seeing it working too! Two weeks in and I’ve lost 3lbs! Not much, but considering the first week I just kept track of what I ate and didn’t cut the calories like I was supposed to, I’m doing well! Taking slow. First week made me mindful of what and how much I was eating. Second week I actually committed to the meal plan. I stayed within my calories, and I’m not starving! I plan for regular intervals for meals/snacks, and I’m making sure to have healthy options around. I still have a ways to go. I’m not even exercising yet! But I’m already seeing this working! Only thing I might suggest is a full list of foods and where they rank and where they fit on the meal plan. So we have something to reference, and maybe get ideas from. Otherwise I’m happy with the program and the app!

Noom is not a diet, it is changing lives.. I started Noom a little over a month ago and I can honestly say it is so much more than I expected. I am 65, and had rotator cuff surgery a week or so prior to starting Noom because I wanted to get fit, lose weight and get ready for retirement. I have done many diets in my life and the only ones that actually ever worked were the total fasting ones. I lost the weight and did it really quickly, problem is I could not sustain it because you have to go back to eating food and those diets never taught you how to eat real food with calories and fat and carb’s so the only thing that changed was the size of clothes I wore. Noom did not make me stop eating anything, no crazy restrictions and no starvation. Noom changed my life by introducing me to actual food and knowledge of what is different about the foods I eat and how I choose what I eat. You never walk away from a meal hungry nor do I go to bed hungry. I actually have lost weight, every day my scale changes. Noom is the best gift I have ever given myself, and the bonus is my coaches and the group I am in are all real people that I can share my journey with and they support me everyday. Again Noom is not a diet, it is a program that changes lives and allows you to live your best life because it gives you knowledge to succeed.

Not your typical diet. I will try to update my review as I see weight loss, but I am on week 5. And this isn’t about weight loss (any longer) for me. Don’t get me wrong, I have quite a bit of weight to lose, but this app is helping me change small habits one day at a time and it’s doing more for my brain than my body right now. My body is benefiting though...I am moving more and making better food choices. I have not lost much weight yet, but my mind is definitely changing and I truly believe that weight loss and a healthy body is in my near future. If you want to try something out to make you feel better about your relationship with food and make small changes for permanent change....this is the app. It’s a lot of small daily tasks and readings, but doesn’t take too much time per day and I personally like to read more about why we do things so that I understand why I want to do them. The goal is achievable lifetime habits and I feel like I am erasing 30+ years of bad habits a little each day. Love the community aspect too...I feel like we motivate each other to keep logging in each day! Coaches check in once a week to create goals and community coaches are usually poking into the group every couple days. I think it’s less about depending on a coach and more about believing in yourself, but the coaches are there as a bonus!

Just Do It!. I have never, ever written any kind of review before. But this program is life changing, so I had to! If you’re having doubts about trying “yet another weight loss program that probably won’t work,” stop doubting and just sign up! Noom is everything you hoped all those other programs claimed to be, and so much more! My husband and I have tried other “diets,” and after struggling with hunger pangs, finding the ingredients for, and cooking crazy, bland meals , we are so excited to find a program that is doable and easy to follow. Just like you, I had my doubts, but when my husband lost 10lbs, something he had never succeeded in doing on any other diet, I had to give it a try. I’m less than 5 weeks in and have lost 10lbs. I feel so much better about myself. I’m eating far more healthfully, and I’m shocked that I don’t crave all the junk I used to eat. I do treat myself at the end of almost every day, but I check to see if it’s in my calorie budget first. Instead of handfuls of mini Cadbury chocolate eggs. I’ll have a serving, which is 9. I savor each one and feel completely satisfied. I know you probably don’t believe me, and that’s okay. I only believe me because I live it! I’d like to tell everyone to sign up for this program, whether you need to lose weight or not! You will become your best healthful self. I hope I’ve convinced you, and wish you every success! And to my husband, I am forever grateful!

Good concept. UI going wrong direction.. I like the ideas behind my his app - applying psychology to weight loss and developing the tools and habits to maintain a healthy weight long term. It has helped me lose weight and work toward my goals. Bravo! Unfortunately, in the six months that I’ve been using Noom, the user interface has gone steadily downhill. It’s now slow to load and slow to commit user data (e.g. during food logging). Why? Isn’t this app mostly cached static content + a small database? The app will also periodically log me out “for security reasons” and refuse to login without an internet connection - very frustrating when trying to catch up while on a flight w/o WiFi. I also find the graphics repetitive and insipid. New fonts are also all wrong. Any app that requires frequent user data input (like food logging) needs to feel like it loads and responds instantaneously. This one used to be fast and it’s not now. Also every software release is not a “major release.” Some are probably more about new features, some more about bug fixes, etc. if Noom’s release notes were less cheerleading and more factual and specific, the user responses to releases would follow suit. In general, it appears that Noom needs to hire some more experienced software architects and incorporate higher UI performance metrics in their release criteria. Life is too short for slow-loading software with cheesy repetitive graphics.

Fascinating.. I’ve been using this app for 5 months, and I thought I would get frustrated recording my meals every day knowing that I didn’t have full intentions to diet. Somewhere between the daily lessons and recording my weight daily, the way that I looked at food did actually change. The knowledge was in the back of my mind as I would roughly measure out serving sizes for a meal without much thought or effort. I gained weight for awhile after downloading, as initially I was just recording and not actually changing anything I normally did. The changes started to happen subtly and semi-automatically as I logged in every day, completing the lessons, recording my meals, and connecting my Fitbit to keep score of my daily steps. After a peak of 7 lbs gained while going through the program, I began to lose steadily. My highest recorded weight has been around 173 lbs. since joining Noom, and I am now at my lowest of 156 lbs. today. I decided to finally share a review, as the app creators deserve some credit after a 17 lb. loss, regardless of fluctuations throughout. With more effort and commitment than I have had, I’m sure others could lose the weight quicker. Either way, if you’re looking to lose weight in a sustainable way - this is a good app to have in your arsenal. (For further behavioral changes you wish to make that may or may not be weight loss related, I have found that “Fabulous” is an excellent app to supplement your Noom usage.)

First Program to Work for Me. This is the first program to work for me because it has helped me to get rid of the thought processes that have always resulted in my failure in the past. It gives you not only the “do”, but the “why to do” based on the science of it. I have to have that for me to really rely on the information and incorporate it into habits. This is the first program that has been successful for me to really change my relationship with food and to make it a lifestyle and not a diet. My weight loss is slow, but I believe that is the best kind of weight loss for me. I believe this will be sustainable. There are some improvements that, in my opinion, should be made. One is to have a better proofread. There are a substantial number of typos in the articles. This unnecessarily detracts from the credibility of the information which you certainly want to avoid, and is easily avoidable. Another is to make the logging easier by 1) not making a person close out the logging section to switch from one meal or snack to another 2) incorporating a “smart” search that brings up words that are close to a misspelled word so that you don’t get a blank unless you know how to spell a word exactly correctly. Finally, using less acronyms. They are, in my opinion, distracting and don’t provide the repetition of the concept as well as using the actual words.

Great Progress, Only One Request. I have heard about Noom many times, and never gave it a second thought. However, I went to try on some of the clothes in my closet, and was disappointed when they didn’t fit, and was tired of ALWAYS being disappointed that nothing fits. Furthermore, I just had my third baby six months ago and have made no progress in losing the weight I need to lose to be healthy. So I decided to pay for the subscription, and I love it. I’ve only been using it for a week but I have already caught myself applying knowledge from the behavior chain to keep myself from snacking when I’m not hungry - which made me super excited, because I had the power to say no without being sad. I said no not because I was depriving myself, but because I was not hungry, and did not (do not) want to allow environmental factors to drive my eating habits. The one thing that I wish Noom would expand on is data from other apps. I have synced my smart watch to log my activity for me, but I wish I could sync the data from My Fitness Pal for my food dairy. I have been using My Fitness Pal for many years and my food database is not only extensive, but I create all of my own food items based on weight, so I know exactly how many calories I’m eating. I’d like to sync Noom and My Fitness Pal so I don’t have to go through the process of building my food database with zoom.

So Far, So Good!. I’ve been with NOOM for exactly 1 week today and I’ve lost 11 lbs. All I’ve done so far is log my meals, my liquids, and pay closer attention to my caloric intake and try to stay around the 2000 calorie mark. I’m not perfect. I have messed up by eating more than I should have, but NOOM is helping me hold myself accountable. By logging my meals, I have a visual of what I’ve been putting in my body. By watching my weight steadily decline on the graph, it’s boosted my self-esteem and that’s given me the encouragement to keep making good food and drink choices for myself. Having lived through other diet failures and having had surgery to lose weight, with no success, I was very skeptical about being successful with NOOM. I enjoy reading the article and I like that I can save them for future reference. I’m an addictions counselor and use the same psychological referencing from the S.M.A.R.T goals that NOOM offers, to lead my addictions clients, but I never thought about using S.M.A.R.T goals to help me lose weight. So far, I’m very happy with NOOM and how easy it is to use. With the Holiday season quickly approaching, I am excited to know I will be able to enjoy the eats and treats and not feel deprived because I have all the tools I need to recognize those triggers and help me psychologically break down my behaviors so I can combat my cravings. For me, it’s all about planning ahead and being prepared!

As cliché as it sounds, it’s actually life changing. I’ve never written a review for anything before, but this program actually worked, so I felt like I had to. I tried Noom from May-November 2020 and, even though I didn’t hit my initial weight loss goal at the end of the 6 months due to getting busier, I still hit my goal by month 8. I’ve been off noom for a little over a year now, but the weight is still off and I even managed to lose additional weight. (For anyone wanting specific numbers, I started off at 175 lbs, was at 140 lbs by the end of my 6-month subscription, and I’m currently at 125 lbs.) For anyone wanting to lose weight, I would highly recommend noom, but I would strongly urge you to also put in the work. Actually listen to the advice from the articles and see what works for you. I personally really liked the articles regarding habits (ie: how to break your habits, how to make new ones) because those are the ones that have stuck with me the most. And for anyone thinking they don’t have time for this: “It’s not that you don’t have time, it’s that you’re not making the time.” — quote from an exercise psychology professor that has stuck with me. Give this program an honest attempt by putting your best foot forward. Good luck to those who decide to try it!

Love this app but not customer support. I was doing great with this app. I love the articles that they have to read, the way that they show you how to choose your food wisely so you can keep on track. However, I was logged off by the app and required to sign back in. Have not been able to get back on the app since January 1, 2021. I’ve contacted Support and at least 3 to 4 times a day I get the same suggestion to fix my problem from a different person at Support. I just realized tonight that it is coming from Zendesk which is an app and not real people which explains why I am being told to do the same thing over and over again that does not work. There is no way to contact a person at Noom to get help. I am so disappointed that I cannot use this app any longer. I even tried starting a new account with a different email and it still keeps bringing me to the window to upgrade which means I have to pay again and I have done this twice with no luck. Every time I sign in it comes back to the I want to upgrade window and will not allow me into the actual app. It is so frustrating not to be able to talk to someone to get help with this. I really wanted to continue to use this app and had planned on paying the $200 for the year to reward myself on New Year’s Day but found myself locked out. I even sent an email to the CEO, Saeju Joeng and received a reply from Zendesk. I was only able to use this app for 4 months. Great app if you are able to use it.😩

Basic health app with a updated modern look. To be fair ive lost interest in this app. Im 4 months in and all I get from this is log food and drink water and read some reports and answer quizzes, my attention span does not handle quizzes very well. So this whole physiological app is very turning me off. On top of the first 2 months had articles that were audio that which really got me interested and which my active life being a traveling musician. I just dont find my attention span to do read research articles and be tested everyday. So I HATE LOGGING MEALS. Having to describe each item of food or recipe into an app takes forever. I felt that I spend at least a hour total a day logging food into this app. Talk about being judgmental and weary all day of what I have to eat. Not good for my mental health. Fail on this app. Way to be diet plan app with a fresh look. I had a death in the family and had to put the app on pause. I go to my gym quite often. Noom suggested exercise 3 months into the app but now I can pay more then the $160 plan for noom food plan and what not at $40 extra. But my artist management has paired me with a dietitian and personal trainer. And not getting wild reviews from the doctors. This app was misleading. At least they agreed to end my subscription after 8 months. Either way hope for the best for everyone else on this. If this app updates to more of what I got into 4 months ago. Maybe ill participate more

Approach With a Healthy Mindset. I have Noom incredibly helpful for me. The app eases you into its program and each day gives you different tools to see the habits you have accepted as facts in your life. One of the best parts of the app is that it admits that there is no one size fits all path to weight loss. It even admits that the amount of weight you think you should lose might not be what best suits your lifestyle. Sometimes I find that the app throws so many ideas at you that it can be difficult at first to know which goals you should be setting each week and which things to focus on. But sticking with it definitely helps. Eventually you start to notice your own patterns, how much the app and its functions help you proceed to where you want to get to, and which parts of the app you can maybe disregard or save for another time. Caveat: I used the app in 2019, lost weight then traveled, stopped using it and gained it all back. I am back on Noom in quarantine knowing that one of the flaws I have found with Noom (and this just might be me personally) is that it is really successful when I’m in full control of my environment, but can be less so when that control decreases. This is something I’m still working on but hoping that with the help of my goal specialist and group I can push through. Noom has helped me lose 12 pounds and 2 inches off of my waist. But, more importantly, it has helped me change certain habits around food.

I love noom, pls make better. Noom has changed my life, period. I an 21 years old and i have been very set in my binge eating ways. going years of basically starving myself to lose weight and then binging and gaining 30 pounds. My relationship with food has changed and i still feel satusfied without the self hatred, in fact i love my body now, not because ive lost a lot of weight, but im happy with how im treating myself. ive tried weight watchers, diets, everything imaginable but ive found something that actually motivates and has me WANTING to go out and get extra steps or skip dining out because i know it wont fit in my calorie budget. if you knew me, you’d understand how impossible that was. good habits are not somethjng ive ever had before noom. yes, the lessons can be obvious, but they are things you need to hear to remind you of what your goal is. my BIG thing that Noom needs to change like yesterday: add a journal or a way for us to save our goals! there is so much writing involved in the lessons, writing bad habits, our long term goals, etc., and noom doesnt save any of it! i didnt realize this was the case until i was 2 weeks in and wanted to look at what i had written, which was a lot. it had just dissapeared. this seems intuitive and its kind of annoying that they didnt have it available in the first place. there should also be streaks for water goals and step goals but thats minor. noom nerds- we need our goals to be saved in app!!!!

Good but not as good as it was. I used Noom a couple of years ago and it helped me loose my last 10lbs, and more importantly develop a good “relationship” with food. I particularly enjoyed the approach of making food not good or bad, but some foods are just better and others should be enjoyed in moderation. I also greatly benefited from having a personalized coach to help me set weekly goals and keep me accountable. This go around after having a baby, I rejoined with hopes it would help me stick to my goals while being so busy with an infant. They did away with coach unless you pay extra. Keep in mind that it’s already a couple hundred dollars for a yearly subscription. No way am I going to pay even more to get a feature that used to be included. It’s a real disappointment. I’m admittedly busier this go around, but I haven’t lost much weight at all, and what I have lost, I’m pretty sure I’d have lost even without paying for the app. I have still rated it four stars because for someone who has not done it before, the articles are very good for the first 3 months and can help you approach your weight loss in a more sustainable, realistic way. Noom, please bring back the coach as part of the price we already pay. Your app is already pricey, and the coach was a game changer for those of us going through it again. This time, I regret signing up!

Bad relationship with food. I have spent years thinking in terms of labels (bad foods) (good foods). I would literally get up every day and think obsessively about food and wonder, how do I not eat bad today and of coarse by afternoon and evening I was storm eating and I thought I was going to have to give up my beloved pinocle parties that go on 3 days a week because of all the sugary treats that are everywhere on card day, now I plan for those, even allowing myself to have 2 Hershey miniatures and my coffee with cream. I have embraced breakfast which I had stopped eating because I hoped it would keep my overall calories down and all it did was make me hungrier for the afternoons. I have not lost much weight, but I get to go to bed without feeling like a failure, imagine going to bed every night so upset and so sick from overeating day after day week after week, I haven’t told many people but I was starting to wish I would just die and get it over with, I’m free right now and loving my new friend food, food of all sorts, even those I once considered evil and bad and finally the weight gaining has stopped and I have even lost a little in the past month, I can’t describe the gratitude for a friend who did it before me and when online one day I accidentally stumbled on an advertisement, asked my sweetheart if I could spend the money to try it and bless his heart after so many books and money spent he didn’t hesitate to say yes and here I am.

Yes, this really works.. I started this app in December, after trying to track my calories with the My Fitness Pal app. But I needed more than just tracking calories. This app changes your relationship with exercise and food. If you commit to it you will lose weight. Each person is different, for me personally - it was primarily portion control. I understand now why I couldn’t lose weight, I was eating more calories than I was burning every day. That statement sounds very simplistic, but I understand why now. I ate a lot of the right foods, but not enough. Noom teaches you how to choose whats right for you in every situation. The combination of the daily exercises, tracking food, tracking exercise, the support network of your group, and your coach all culminate into teaching you how to lose weight and keep it off. Sometimes the daily exercises don’t pertain to your situation, so you can glide through those exercises. But when you realize the exercises that pertain to you? It just clicks. You realize ‘this is the issue I have... I understand what I need to do to rev up my metabolism and lose this weight.’ I joined for a year, I decided to give myself a year to slowly lose this weight and keep it off. I’ll be at my goal weight of 130 pounds by November, I have no doubt. This really works.

Needs work but lots of potential. I like this app but the developers could make it much more user friendly. First, I need to be able to see my food diary without trying to log a meal. There needs to be a tab called Food Diary and another called Analytics where you can see your “colors” as they develop across the day. Currently, you can only see the diary or macro breakdown if you are about to log a food. Sometimes you want to see your progress without entering food, to analyze your data to plan ahead, but you can’t with this app. Also, I like to log ahead — I do this in myfitnesspal — if I know my work day will be busy, and this keeps me on track. You can’t do that on Noom. There is no way to plan ahead. This is particularly bad if I know I’m going out for one meal and need to plan the other meals to be lighter — and as a result, I keep going over, even trying to be conservative. And, finally, Noom doesn’t have a tab for logging exercise. You have to select “do more” and drill down to the limited exercise menu, which needs more options. They need to add HIIT workouts there. And finally, this is the beginning of week 2, and I have yet to talk to a goal specialist. I’ve gotten some bot-type interactions, but she won’t actually respond to me or my questions. She’s just kind of a push notification, like “good job for logging veggies today!” The cost is supposed to pay for the coach. If there’s no coach, then this is just a less robust version of myfitnesspal.

Great but... Great app to begin with but then it wasn’t. I lost 25 lbs in about 3.5 months and have kept it off for another 3. Noom was a huge part of it because it taught me to look at food differently. It was great because no foods are off limits and I can still have my favorites. The program was supposed to take 16 weeks to become a “Noom master”. The first 16 weeks were definitely helpful. I am now on week 23 and still haven’t “graduated”. The don’t really tell you how long you have left because there’s no way to look forward. My “course progress” has not moved in weeks. Lessons have become less and less about food and food attitudes and more a repetitive rehashing of old lessons. Lots of talk about breaking and changing habits but we have already done this weeks ago. The website is no help either. I feel like I have come so far with Noom but by not actually “ending” the course I feel robbed of the final part of my weight loss journey. A sense of completion and the satisfaction that comes with it. I would have been fine if the had actually “ended” the course at week 16 allowing me to “graduate” and then give me the opportunity to keep going. At the end of the month I am canceling my subscription without completing the course. I am grateful for everything that I learned and will carry it with me for years but I am sorely disappointed at not getting that final sense of accomplishment.

So far, so bad. Where do I begin? Signed up through iTunes and quickly realized that Noom charges $44 per month; bu if going through their site, it is $199 per year if paid upfront. There should be the same price irrespective of where one signs up. When my free trial period was almost over, I cancelled the iTunes subscription and went to the site on the desktop. When going through the subscription steps, a page popped up asking me to help pay for the costs of the free trial period. Also, while signing up, I had to go through several screens soliciting add-on services and invitations for my contacts. Finally, I got to the page with registration information. Once I filled it out and hit send, a message popped up that an account like this already exists. I then tried accessing the account through an app and received a message that there is no such account. Talk about self contradiction! After spending 15-20 on the chat line with support, and then as much on the phone with support, we finally got my account reinstated and I was able to register on the desktop. After that all I had to do was delete and reload the app, enable cookies and change the password again on the account and it seems to be working. I can’t seem to access the data that I accumulated during the introductory phase, but I am too exhausted to contact support about it. Time will tell how successful the app is with losing weight, but the administrative part has been very unpleasant thus far.

It’s working for me!. I am delighted with Noom. I started on the trial basis, but saw results within the first week. My efforts to control my weight for the last few years had not gotten me anywhere. Noom is a system that allows for all the types of food you like, just not as much and not as often as will cripple efforts for weight control. The app is easy to use, and the daily encouragements are at times corny, but are fun and help to keep me on track. Noom uses what they call “Psych Tricks” to educate and encourage a healthier eating lifestyle. I’m extremely glad I tried it. After a month, I’ve lost 9.5lbs, my clothes are looser, and I’m looking forward to wearing my pretty clothes again after a few more months on the program. I tend to respond well to programs with step-by-step instructions. Logging in my food isn’t a chore, but an interesting challenge to put together a day’s meals. I’ve even allowed myself my favorite cookies, (not every day and not half the package) which I no longer consider “food crack” because I can enjoy them without overdoing. I got a thermos to take soup to lunch, and have experimented with new recipes that are something to look forward to at mealtime. After years of failed attempts to get the weight off, the community of Noom offers a system that works, support and humor, and a way to start feeling like my real self again.

Closest thing to being hypnotized!. I used to always joke and say that if I could find someone to hypnotize me to make me hate pizza I would be just fine...... Noom pretty much did just that (without the hypnosis- haha). The tips and ideas were small, easy to maintain, and really made sense. Losing weight wasn’t for a group or other people- it basically just taught me little things that help me keep on track and made losing weight simple-more of a lifestyle and not something I “had” to do. I have felt for too long this pressure of having to please others and it always threw me into a down slide. It’s not for others...it’s for me! It explained why I hit a plateau. It explained when and why I feel hungry and the science behind it. It wasn’t overwhelming- it actually made sense and made me look forward to the 10 minutes or so a day I had to read my info. I finished my subscription about two months ago. After, I chose to stop the live Noom updates and just keep the free version. I love that this app pushes you to do that and not “live on a diet”. I have managed to maintain my weight and find it has turned into just my way of life and not something I just finished… I didn’t run back to everything that I used to overeat because this app taught me that I should make it a point to eat special treats. This app just taught me how to do it so that I’m not going overboard constantly. I owe my new midlife body and mindset to Noom!

Great adventure. I am a retired teacher who has tried to lose weight to be healthy. I did a liquid diet that was medically supervised and had support groups. I lost the weight but gained it all back when we started on real food. So I have started Noom and have enjoyed it from the first day. I looked forward to the daily readings. It is changing how I label food and what I eat. No good or bad foods. My grocery shopping has changed with a lot more time spent in the produce section and whole foods. It feels wonderful to be gaining the knowledge of what are the healthiest choices to make. The daily recording of meals is so easy on the app it keeps me focused on planning my calories and meals. The counselors I have are so supportive and knowledgeable. No, the weight isn’t dropping off like the restrictive diet I did before. Instead I’m loosing at a healthy rate of 1.5 to 2 pounds a week. My one on one counselor knows just what to tell me to keep me focused and avoid the hurdles I place on my journey. As I said before, I look forward to each day with Noom. It has given me a positive outlook. It isn’t a diet. It is changing my outlook. I’ve stopped saying “I wish” and started saying “I will”. Setting goals and not restrictions. I believe success is my only option with Noom. Thanks Noom, for giving me this support to make these changes. I know the success depends on me and how throughly I use the Noom program.

So far so good. I’ve been with Noom for a month now and I’m really enjoying the platform. The information they give you is broken down into easily digestible groups, their approach to weight loss is different than anything I’ve tried before. There is the calorie tracking element, water intake tracking, steps taken, all that stuff but, it’s more there for you to see how you are progressing instead of being drilled into your head that you have to do all those things without fail everyday to see success. I’m down 10 pounds as of this morning and I’m very pleased with that. I haven’t been hungry all the time like some programs, I can tell I’m making some better choices when packing my lunch and going grocery shopping following their guidelines. I’ve even found some healthier alternatives to certain things I would usually eat that still satisfy my craving without blowing my calorie budget or feeling guilty. I also enjoy the social aspect of the app, after your first few days you get to meet your team, which is compromised of other users and your group coach. It’s nice to be able to bounce concerns, frustrations and victories off each other and the group coach posts helpful suggestions and tips to work past plateaus and get you to the next level. Overall, I would recommend trying this company if you have some weight you’d like to shed without starving yourself or just eating cabbage & onion soup all day, everyday 😂

Worth it- for me. 👍🏻. I was skeptical when I first started the trial. I have been through Weight Watchers, at least five times in my adult lifespan. It’s a good program, it teaches you how to eat. But at this stage of my life it did not fit into my busy schedule. I did not have time to work around the limited meetings in my area to weigh in. Roughly a month into this program, I have lost almost 10 pounds without much inconvenience, LOL-if that’s a good description. The things I mark it down for are a limited data base when you go to scan in a food to add it to your daily intake. That will improve with time. (I’m certainly helping, you can choose to input your food info as you go). I’d have to say that these people are on your case 24/7 to help keep you on track. You also have access to multiple other people who are doing this at the same time you are. I think the message board could be organized in a better fashion, to be more user-friendly and to allow you to have access to multiple threads at one time without being confused. All in all, I’m going to stick with this because it fits into my life at this time. It addresses psychological issues as to why people choose to eat what they eat, and why they overeat the wrong things. You are given the tools, should you choose to use them, to deal with these situations that affect those of us who have always had a complicated relationship with food.

Finally. I consider myself an expert on dieting, have done them all and yet the weight always comes back (so much for being an expert) As I was planning another attempt to get back on track I faced defeat squarely in the mirror and finally admitted to myself that I could not do it alone. My daughter had recently joined the program and was telling me about it. My silent response to her was “yeah, yeah, yeah WHATEVER”. So on my day of awakening I thought just maybe I should check this out and opened up the Noom website and started reading and answering the questions and decided it was worth a 14 day trial. But after only a week I know it is worth so much more than the free trial, I am not easily impressed and can be quite skeptical, but I believe this program is the real deal to success. Yes, I expect challenges and know I am also an expert procrastinator, but these folks at Noom know all of that too and anticipate those challenges before they can derail my progress. I am happy with my experience, it was a little confusing the first two days because I expected a list of foods and a solid meal plan to follow like all the other programs start out. So just follow the steps and they will lead in the right direction to understanding what are the things that have prevented you/us from long term success with maintaining a healthy weight.

Helpful the first 1.5 months, afterwards insufficient support and guidance to achieve goals. The first 2 levels of lessons (equivalent to 1.5 months of the program) were interesting and offered useful information about how to look at food and your food habits. However after completing the second level of lessons the information became uninteresting and wasn’t adding up to my knowledge. Second, I entered a plateau in the third week of the program that I couldn’t get out from in four weeks. I started counting Macros and my weight started shifting down again. This made me realize that Noom’s system of food tracking based on colors was not helping me loose weight as I was filling up my diet with carbs (fruit and vegetables and some grains). When I turned to the in-demand coaching it was a huge dissatisfaction because I went in circles with them for THREE weeks - they would tell me that I plateaud because I was eating too little calories, only to realize they were wrong every time (this happened three times). When I moved to the ‘goal coach’ it was also disappointing because instead of giving me advice she literally said ‘loosing 6 pounds might be tricky, but you know what to do so you got it!’ Really?! I never said I lacked motivation what I lacked was guidance to overcome the plateau and the coaches and Noom tracking system really disappointed. My goal was to loose 12 pounds in 4 months. I am back in track but under a Macro diet, not Noom.

Wish I could search custom dishes. I’m on week 14 and have had a lot of success —lost 15lbs so far and really managing portion control. I’ve gotten to the point where I weigh in daily, log all my meals and exchange messages weekly with my personal coach but don’t get anything from the group support aspect and haven’t read the daily blurbs in a while. Even so, I’m still finding success and sense of accountability with the logging and correspondence with my coach. I’ve tried free logging apps before and just did not experience the same level of progress. What really got me on here to write a review is that I REALLY wish the custom dishes were searchable so I don’t have to scroll through weeks of meals I’ve logged to find what I’m looking for. We have a lot of hello fresh and go-to meals where this would be most helpful. Having editable custom dishes is a great feature! As we refine recipes, the ability to update rather than having to log it in from scratch again saves energy and keeps my recipes more organized 👍🏼 Something else that could be improved is the expediency in which foods are added to the database. I’ve taken the time to add the food and it’s nutritional value, I should be able to search that item within a couple weeks— I know it takes time for someone to review the entry and upload it to the overall database but I’d say two weeks is a fair amount of time to get that added.

Good ideas but execution is lacking. I enjoyed some aspects of this ap. The articles and quizzes were interesting and informative. However, the coaching and other aspects were lacking. I’m not sure if my coach was a real person or just computer generated responses to my comments. All “her” comments were pretty bland and generic. In addition, you are apparently supposed to be placed in a group with other Noom members for support which I never was. When I asked about the group 6 weeks later I was put into a “quiet group” with others who also had never been put into an “active group,” had cancelled membership (me) or out there for a few other reasons. I kinda felt like I was in trouble for no reason. Several of us asked to be put into an active group so we could see if this made a difference in our ap experience but, no response after 48 hours. I am also in agreement with others that the food logging is lacking. After a somewhat timely process of entering a few “meals” they didn’t show up in my food for the day nor did it recall my “meal” the following week. Lastly, I really wanted to concentrate on toning and building muscle and not as much on losing weight. Although I listed this in my goals there was no way to track this nor was this ever brought up by my coach. This is not a cheap ap at $49/month. Definitely not worth it to me.

I still eat pizza.. Yes, I still eat pizza, peanut butter, bread and still drink wine. But logging all these foods in, which is quite easy (I do it by dictating to my iPhone) has shown me how much those foods affect my calorie intake and health. I’ve learned that I can still be happy eating those foods less often. I like that Noom does not necessarily exclude any food type or food group. But they definitely make you aware of the foods that will benefit you in weight loss. Noom is all about swapping out good things over less good things. It’s about figuring out how to avoid temptation by having the right foods around and the right frame of mind to deal with temptation. It’s about replacing good habits with less good habits. It’s about connecting things that you really like with things that you need to improve on in an effort to create a new and more beneficial habit. My morning ritual now includes a big cup of coffee and some quiet time reading my Noom articles, some area bit goofy but still fun to read and informative. I’m a much better eater now and it’s actually been fun making the transition. I’ve lost over 18 pounds over nine weeks, way more than I anticipated. For me it’s been 100% about looking at the food I eat every day and understanding how those foods affect your weight loss journey. It definitely takes dedication and a certain amount of concentration to make progress but I guess that’s what it’s all about.

It WORKS. If you are willing to commit and put in the work, this is definitely the best app to help you achieve your goals! I initially had no faith in myself that I would lose any weight at all, but the way they set up their articles to educate you on how to live a healthier lifestyle is encouraging and inspiring and if you are willing to receive all the “tools” they give you to succeed you definitely will!!! I recommend this to everyone who has asked me what I’ve been doing to lose weight! I started the program 3 1/2 months ago and I’m down 30 lbs and pushing closer to 35....10 lbs a month of healthy weight loss!! I’m a registered nurse and I thought I knew a lot about nutrition and what’s good and bad, but I’m not a nutritionist so I found out I was wrong about a lot of things about healthy eating. Starting this journey has honestly been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made!!! I feel so much healthier and more energetic, and I still have more weight I’d like to lose, so I’m gonna continue with this new lifestyle change bc it’s just that....it’s not a diet... it’s a new way of thinking about food and exercise and your body as a whole! LOVE THIS APP MILLION! I will be sad to end my journey and fly solo, but when that day happens I know they have given me so many things to help me continue on my own!!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I will be a NOOMER for the rest of my life!. I lost over 40# in 6 months with the NOOM program and app. This has absolutely amazed me and my friends! The philosophy and science behind the methods were the perfect ones for me and I have never felt so good while trying to lose weight, physically and mentally. You do have to make a monetary commitment but that’s no different from most weight loss programs. You also have to make a daily commitment to read for about 10 minutes, to log your foods and your activity level. I believe this all made so much sense to me and became a large part of why I was successful beyond my wildest dreams. I learned so much about myself and good and activity and living the right way for myself, making MY choices. Learning why certain foods were advantageous to eat over others. How certain foods made me feel. Portion control was a huge lifestyle change and a real eye opening lesson learned! I could go on and on, but NOOM is definitely a way of life for those who want to learn and lose and aren’t just wanting a quick fix for the moment. You do the work, you get the reward! My doctor and nurse are amazed at my new bloodwork numbers, weight and flexibility in just 6 months! Oh..... did I mention that I am 70 years old?! So, it’s never to late to feel and look your best! And by eating real food at home and in restaurants.

A few months and I’m (somehow?) both physically and emotionally healthier.. I’ve been dieting on and off since my teen years and I just didn’t want to live that life anymore. Noom offered a balanced perspective full of sound advice and well-researched science. I lost a bit of weight and more importantly I feel like I’m in control (and happy with) my own day-to-day. I’m healthier and feel totally free of the yo-yo diet loop. Lots of great support in my chat group and a fantastic curriculum meant new perspectives and sustainable healthy habits. It was 100% worth it for me. Oh small note to the developers - I agree with others, the app could use a little work. It took up a ton of space on my phone (over a half gig!) and the messaging portion could be easier to use (better thread management, the ability to edit messages, etc...) but overall really nice product! Very well-designed UI/UX-wise and easy to use :) Also for others researching, a couple of notes: it’s definitely not a “fast results” kind of program; or at least it wasn’t for me. It’s more about changing your whole lifestyle, which takes time. Also the coach was not super helpful for me - they don’t respond in a very personalized way (was wondering if it was a bot for a little while) and only check in semi-regularly, so if that’s a big priority for you, I would look elsewhere. It’s more of a reminder, “keep you on track” tool than actual personalized guidance, which was a little disappointing.

This system works. Much easier than others. You still have to “do the work”. No diet changing process that is for real will be easy. It’s gotta be lifelong changes for linger happier life. The app helps you understand and learn from your bad and good habits., There’s moral support by humans (by text with a small community group and individual coaches). Not too expensive- about $1 US a day - well worth it. You can customize how aggressive you want to be in making changes (for me, slow and steady wins the race because this time has to stick). The process works if you do it!!! The app isn’t perfect. There’s an update so maybe it is now, but I had a hard time getting my fitbit to record steps in Noom. The instructions were confusing and technical support didn’t get it until 3rd try. But Noom is MUCH easier to interface than most and a friendly and science-based system to lose weight. Hey, it’s 1. Noom (awareness, balanced moderate eating), 2. intermittent fasting (which I can’t seem to do for long), 3. high protein (keto/atkins whatever name you pick - which may be hard on kidneys/livery), 4. Weight Watchers (pain to track), or 5. gimmicks and lies like magic pills or cabbage diets. Stick to options 1-4 If you think you may have food sensitivities do Whole30 or better yet see a dietician. Then do Noom!

Noom. I’ve been using Noom for about a month. I eat mostly the same whole foods over and over so it is ridiculously easy for me to log my food which tracks my calories and shows me how many I have left and how much of it was veg etc. I enjoy the brief articles and their humor, they are a little goofy which is fun and the info is very simple and succinct and often interactive, gently psychological. After the first week or so of more interaction with her my goal specialist now checks in with me about once a week and asks me questions which help me think about things and stay engaged in my health journey. The team community coach posts a discussion topic I think every weekday and our little group of Noomers respond, like, and comment on each other’s posts. I think there’s a way to private message people but I haven’t needed to. I really look forward to the topics and people’s thoughts. I have lost a couple of pounds so far, which is great because what led me to do this was that I was slowly gaining and gaining! I’m enjoying Noom very much. I had a 2 week free intro and then figured it was worth another month. So far I think it has been worth the price, so I will probably continue for a while. I feel like I’m slowly making a shift to a person who will be thin. Other people are losing much faster because they are working out a lot, which I have not been, but Noom keeps me moving in the right direction. Little by little.

Sign me up!. This feels way less like a diet and way more like a self awareness app to help you understand your decisions around food. I’m at a “healthy weight” but as an athlete in their late thirty’s I have been struggling with the “fact” that us 30’s people just need to embrace the 10-15lbs extra cushion we never had before because we aren’t 20 anymore and we’ve had kids?! I get that metabolism slows, but I also still have my 20’s eating habits. You don’t have to mindfully eat at that age (but I wish I knew about it then!) so I love that this app is teaching me to be mindful of why I choose to overeat or eat crap especially when I know healthy choices make me feel better emotionally, mentally and physically. It feels less restrictive eating based (even though it is, because that’s the only way weight loss happens) and more focused on teaching you about your thought patterns, encouraging you, inviting you to self reflect, and also giving you tips and a guide to try to stick to as far as intake/output goes. I’m loving it! But I’m also newly interested in psychology in general. I was hesitant about another “diet” because I’ve watched everyone around me yo-yo my whole life and have never wanted to jump on that train. But this seems like it deals with the whole self, not just the appearance of your body. I say try it!

Noom changed me for the best me ever. I heard about Noom from a friend and then seen lots of commercials on tv. I just started a new job and knew that my old routine was going away. My life was going great and then I decided what the heck go big or go home. I added Noom a week after I started my new job about 2 and 1/2 months ago. I am down 15 pounds and I feel amazing. I always hated the word diet and I have to say this really is not a diet. I don’t have to get rid of the stuff I love to get healthy. This app has taught me so much from being mindful of everything. I love that it teaches you so much and how to make the best decisions that work for you! The only recommendation I would have for Noom is consider having a call with your new members to show them how to best navigate through the app. I know that if I had something like that in the beginning it would of helped start my journey much more smoothly! I can seen that would be a reason someone doesn’t stick with the app if they are not as motivated. You really have a life changing solution however not everyone is tech savvy and may get discouraged if they don’t figure it out! That is a true shame as my life has changed for the best me ever and everyone looking for that deserves it. Don’t let your members get frustrated early then your program will end up being something everyone uses! Thank you so much for what you have done for me 🙂

Accountability!!. I wouldn’t say, as some reviewers did, that Noom has “changed my life.” However, I’m beginning my 6th week on the program and I am enjoying it. When I began, I was carrying around about 18 lbs that I just couldn’t seem to get rid of-and, truth be told, I was so frustrated during this pandemic that I began to gain even more weight. I am a lifetime member of WW from many years ago, so I KNEW the correct way to eat. I just couldn’t bring myself to want to be that strict. I’m 63 years old, and I used that as an excuse to just “let myself go.” I read the reviews with Noom and did their trial for 2 weeks which I liked so I joined for 3 mos. 5 weeks and down 8 lbs. I’m happy with the way it’s going. So here’s the difference with Noom: unlike diets which have you purchase their specific foods, and unlike diet programs that only focus on food, the scale, and dropping weight, Noom is the first program I’ve seen and been involved in that focuses on BEHAVIOR. Why/How am I eating? So,yes, daily weigh in’s and exercise are part of the program. But I also get a virtual support group, a separate personal “coach,” and TONS of very helpful and informative articles which have really helped me with understanding my behaviors. I don’t want to just drop these last 10 lbs. I want to never diet again. I want to change my eating behaviors forever. This program has really done that for me! 😊😊

I’ll Never Try Anything Else!!!. I was inspired to try Noom after being on antidepressants for a couple of months had lifted the veil enough for me to maybe try something new maybe hopefully… I’ve lost 25 pounds in 6 months and about 5 inches probably off my stomach. I can almost see where my abs should be! Noom has also encouraged me to start working out! And this is the first time that’s ever stuck!! I REALLY love Noom because there’s no guilt to the weight loss. That’s REALLY what’s made the lessons stick for me. You can go at your own pace, and no one yells at you to go faster or tell you that you’re not trying hard enough. My coach Portia is fantastic about checking in one a week or so, just to ask me if I’ve run into any questions or how I feel like things are going — and that’s IT! No guilt, no shame, no comparisons, just gosh dang support. Noom explores the psychology being weight loss, and the more important lifestyle changes behind them. And they like actually explain it, very clearly and kindly. Yeah okay, all of the #NoomNerd stuff is kinda #annoying, and I’m even a millennial lol. But no one penalizes you if you don’t read every week! Or if you don’t log a couple things for a couple days…or a few days! Guys, just try it. Give it a shot. Be persuaded by this particular review or whatever. You’ve got this!!!💪😊

Noom is worth it- My wife is speechless. I have been using Noom for a week now and have already learned so much it’s shocking. I have changed a bunch of my food habits as a result of what I am learning which is surprising me and very empowering. I told my wife that this might be one of the most powerful apps I’ve ever downloaded- for the impact it is having on my life already and she completely agrees. I am prepping my own meals, eating healthier than I have ever done in my adult life, and finding a great deal of joy in it… This App is a lot of fun and has broke through for me… The Noom App structures learning in a way that works really well for me. The App simply gives you the information, be it scientific concepts, or behavior psychology, etc. there is no person to push back against except yourself- which in my case is amazing. It’s just the App and me. You are given the knowledge and it is your job to apply it, but they weave psychology and health information together in a very dynamic way which worked miracles for me. Helping me break through walls that have kept me stuck for seemingly forever. I love how I can listen to the lessons too, they have great voice actors read you the txt of the lessons- So you can listen while you are doing something else. I have already lost weight and am having a great time with this App.

Remarkable Success. I just finished my one year subscription with Noom and it was the best money I ever spent! I started last Jan at 215lbs. I saw the commercial on TV, New Years Eve and thought the app looked colorful and fun like a game. I thought it would be entertaining enough to keep my interest, but it was so much more. I learned about all the eating mistakes I was making. I learned what to eat, what to limit, what to increase. Because of my immediate success during the trial, I decided to pay for the subscription. I just wanted to get under 200lbs and be in less pain! Noom helped me work through so many of my life issues where I was stuck! I hit my goal and kept going. I felt like the pace was perfect. The lessons were really motivating, and the group was safe and encouraging. I hit 162.5 in October. Because of Noom I challenged myself to create a more balanced lifestyle. I started walking, then running, and finished 2 5K’s. I’m now Snowshoeing several times a week and have signed up for 5 - 5K’s in 2020. My work has improved so much, I’ve received several raises and so much encouragement. All my coworkers are inspired as well as many friends who have joined Noom too! I’ve managed to keep the weight off even through the holidays and now in Winter. Noom really works, especially if you have some supportive encouraging friends to walk and share with. If you do this, and stay really honest with yourself, it works, no excuses!

BEST Program, EASY to use!. I have tried ALL the other weight loss programs out there, I LOVE THIS ONE!! I always went back up in weight after being off the other programs, but this is TOTALLY DIFFERENT! I am having such GREAT success in this program! NOOM teaches me a totally new way to lose weight & keep it off! I COULDN'T BE HAPPIER! Thank you all @ NOOM for changing my life. It’s been a real life changer for me and I highly recommend this to everyone who hasn’t had success in the past. It has taught me so much more than just losing weight, I have learned about how to combat my weaknesses and change my way of thinking. This is so much more than a weight loss program, it has taught me about myself, my habits and how to change them. I have the Apple Watch 6 and it syncs perfectly all of my health data. I can go back and see the weeks that I lost the most weight, and what I ate, how active I was to compare the days. I haven’t used the free coaching, but I definitely will if I hit a weight loss plateau as I had on all the other diets I have tried. I love the reminders you can set, the short daily lessons, and how EASY it is to log daily info. I love the reminders they give me! It keeps me motivated and for the 1st time ever I don’t dread weighing myself! (BIG SIGH!) For what you get, this program is BEYOND worth the price! I am hitting my goals & couldn’t be happier! THANK YOU NOOM!!

Great results, disappointing app. I would love to be able to write this review as a Noom user, however I can’t even get the app to open with my information. After about seven months of actively using Noom on a daily basis, I lost the weight that I had wanted to lose successfully (about 20 lbs). I was feeling happy and healthy and really excited about the results, so I decided to put a hold on the program itself and continue to use the app. What a mistake that was! The moment that I stopped paying a subscription, the app started to give me a lot of problems. Some of these issues were issues that I had experienced as a subscriber previously such as not being able to put in the foods after the meals or my step counter getting stuck— however after my subscription, the app decided to not work for me at all. I did everything possible and contacted customer support a number of times to try to get this resolved to no avail. It’s not the phone, it’s also an off the app they say, but I can’t enter Noom at all. One of my issues upon contacting customer support was that I was considering going back to being a paying subscriber, but how can I do that when the app won’t even open for me to begin with? We shouldn’t be chastised for deciding that we need a break from the program… As I mentioned in the title great results, horrible app. I hope that they solve this problem eventually, but I doubt it as it’s been months for me!

I love Noom but it has a major flaw. I have been using Noom on and off for 4 years after successful weight loss but the one thing I always hated is that they say you can customize your own recipe but that is not true. The calories is automatically generated and is always wrong. For example, I am trying to log a recipe with 725 calories, it automatically makes it 2725 calories and you can’t change/correct it. I was told by support that it can take 3-6 months for the recipe to be in the system. What if you want to log it because you just had it and want to stay on track with your calories but can’t see it in your calorie bar because it Is incorrect? There is no place to type the correct information. Makes no sense why Noom doesn’t have it and Lifesum does. I might switch to Lifesum because I do not want to wait 3-6 months to log a recipe I just ate. I want to know how much I eat calorie wise. Noom should have made it so it so you can fully customize your dish and nutrition info. This is the biggest let down of the app. I have talked to support about this 5 times in the past 2 days and most of them are clueless to what I want and those that do understand say “it can take up to 3-6 months for it to finalize”. I have tried this before and it never goes through. I tried 2 years ago and do you think anything happened? Nope. Really upset with how Noom handles this. Just make it so we can enter are own nutrition information. Lifesum does it

If you want success!. I have tried many diets. I would say that I don’t even consider this a diet but it does affect the way that I eat. There are so many little tidbits of information that help me throughout the day. And even more importantly I have had 1:1 assistance with some virtual cheerleading and direction, a coach, who has directed me toward articles to read and such, to lift myself up. Each day, the lessons, come with practical things - like weighing daily (which I always was told weekly), shopping in the morning for food cuz of decisions process is affected as day goes on... all have encouraged and made me excited about what I am doing. I don’t remember which day I started - I think it was about a week ago. I have lost 12 lbs. I know it is fluid mostly but choosing food that fills me up better is also part of that. Understanding the “psychology” behind things has helped. I have not been perfect at following a regimen but i have got on all the goals set and accomplished many already, which in and of itself motivates. I think this is really gonna work cuz I don’t have to give up stuff - really. I been making exchanges and that has satisfied. Love this and can’t wait to see if I can make it to my goal weight. I know the weight loss will slow down soon - but I am still at a wonder at how I don’t feel deprived. Loving NOOM!

Good but beware the stringing along. Here’s my honest opinion after using Noom for over 5 months. I started at 87kgs and I’m down to 82kgs, so that’s a positive. The first half of the program is good as it teaches you a lot about the different types of food, in other words the good, the bad and the ugly of nutrition. Forcing you to log your food intake and weigh yourself daily is also a positive. Although the program has next to nothing about exercise, I joined a gym at the start and more than quadrupled my level of physical activity. So I must credit my weight loss to a fair chunk of the exercise and not just Noom. There’s only so much they can teach you about nutrition so the second half is an endless litany of jibberish about psychology. You can’t help but get the feeling that they’re stringing you along just to stretch the membership for as long as they can. Each day you think they will bring something new/valuable about nutrition or exercise but no, it’s just more of the same gobbledygook. In my opinion, exercise is an essential part of a weight loss program and yet Noom has almost nothing about it. My advice to anyone looking at subscribing to Noom is to give it a go but stop your subscription at the halfway mark and save yourself a lot of money.

Tiny steps lead to big results. I’d heard about Noom from a friend who said it was good but expensive. I gained so much weight from stress and emotional eating the last few years and I really felt sad and helpless. Noom advertised at me on Facebook and I thought whatever I’ll try the trial for two weeks. I was broke so I paid $1 to trial it, and saw it was about $280 to continue. But I enjoyed it so much, I actually think $280 is a great deal! I love the daily tasks and articles, I’m on my phone procrastiscrolling anyway so this feels productive and I learn a lot. My habits have changed already after one month, and I’m down over 10% of my goal weight loss already. It makes me think about what I’m eating and why I’m making that choice, d that accountability usually makes me choose a better option that I feel good about! Really loving it and I feel better already, thanks Noom.

15kgs down and more to go. I really love this app. I’ve paid for two other weigh-loss programs in the past and while I had some success, my attention withered and eventually the weight came back on. It is so much more then just calorie counting, of which I’ve done plenty of in my life but I’ve found this to be the easiest app to count my calories on. So if you just want to use the app for that purpose you can, it will also allow step counting, exercise log and weight mapping. The app will also offer a free two week upgrade. Which is how I started and I’m so happy I did. I’m really proud of the weigh loss I’ve achieved and how the app has helped me commit to a healthier me. Just give it a chance, believe - you won’t regret a healthier you!

The Program is awesome, the App needs some work. Noom is a weight loss philosophy based on gradually changing your relationships with food and exercise (not the sweaty stuff so much as the incidental stuff). And it works, provided you work with it and adopt at least most of the concepts. I’ve lost 10kg (22lb) so far, and haven’t been hungry or missed any particular foods. But the app... oh boy. It’s not really bad, but it’s not really good either. The flow is a bit all over the place. You get alerts but there’s no way to find why (I’ve had some alerts that to this day I can’t track down). You log food but the measures aren’t consistent and you can’t set a default amount. You’re stuck with a default of pounds, ounces, miles etc because it’s a US app - so you can (mostly) find metric but you can’t make it the default. These things are really only aesthetic I know, and with the concept of Nooms programme being so well executed even within the poor app framework, it’s easy to forgive as you watch the Kilograms melt with the Kilometres, the grams dissipate with the litres. If they improve the app this is going to even more of a world beater.

New mindset. This app is changing my mindset. I had read the reviews but honestly didn’t really understand what was beyond the walls of this app. I have been an all or nothing when it comes to my health. All the way in or all the way out and I would make a plan and be very good at sticking to it but one slip and I would be all the way out. This is teaching me that it doesn’t need to be this way. Food isn’t good or bad, it just needs to be eaten in moderation and always without guilt, this app allows you to track and really understand it all. I have been doing it for almost 2 weeks and have lost 2kg’s. I feel happy, healthy and balanced, not restrictive like I have in the past. I am grateful for this app in my little world because we are not taught nutrition and our body connection properly in this world. Noom helps this.

My personal trainer in a pocket. I love this app! It is helping me to lose weight and be more mindful of what I eat. I haven’t stopped eating the things I like that are naughty eg. stuff from the Redzone but I have learnt to keep them to a minimum and only use them as treats or rewards. The best thing about this app is that it learns who you are and uses that knowledge to help you. Whoever writes the sections has a great sense of humour and that really helps me too. I’m not a big fan of exercise but even this to seems achievable and so far I’ve hit all my goals. I highly recommend this app for people who live alone and don’t have the support that you can get from family members when trying to lose weight. PS I’ve lost 5ks in 2 weeks.

Good psych tips, but the product changes before 2-month period is up. Highly recommend for the psych tips and motivation it provides. It does work. Just be aware though that the audio lessons cease to be an option after a few weeks — then it is text only. I find looking at the screen a chore at the end of the day. The lessons don’t sink in as much and I find myself less motivated to complete them, often forgoing them completely. This didn’t happen before the switch to read only. There is no option to purchase less than a 2-month subscription, but the product changes before that period is up, which seems a bit unfair. Otherwise, a positive experience.

Great program, ok app. So Noom is great for having multiple methods to keep you focused and engaged. The program is pretty good although unfortunately I’m not feeling much of a connection with my goal specialist. What I’m really likely is the food logging and categorisation. I’ve done meal logging before and it worked fairly well but the Noom method is making my so much more aware of the types of food I’m eating. One thing that is extraordinarily annoying is when logging an item that isn’t already in the Noom database. If I put all the info in one day then eat that thing the next day I have to enter all the info again. Would be better if it was saved as a your foods or something like that.

More than just a ‘diet’. I have been using Noom for the past few weeks. What I love about the program is that it really educates you about food and the psychology behind what makes us gain weight. No food is off limits, everything can be enjoyed in moderation. The program is customised to the individual. There are a lots of useful tools and lots of support. Where they could improve is with the functionality of the meal logging section, there are inconsistencies, there is no option to copy meals from previous days and most Australian bar codes are not recognised. I also was disappointed that if you want a meal plan or fitness plan designed for you (which would no doubt be auto generated) then you had to pay more. So I opted out of that and just bought the basic plan. Overall I do think it is a great program that aims to change eating styles for life rather than simply shed weight quickly.

So expensive!. I saw the advertisement for Noom on Instagram quite a few times before I joined. The idea of changing the way you think about food and exercise was something I thought would work for me. It would help me with my negativity. The cost however, was not what I expected. I was just charged $26AUD for a 2 week trial. Ok, not too expensive. But at the end of that trial, to get the rest of my 8 month program, they wanted me to pay $219AUD in one bulk bill! That breaks down to roughly $6.85/week, that would be manageable. Not $219 in one hit! Having a weekly payment with the option to cancel said payment at anytime during your program, should be the main payment option. As a single mum of 3 boys, I could not make a $219 commitment. I desperately want to manage my weight and I thought Noom would finally put me on the right path; but at $219, I have already canceled my subscription. What a disappointment.

It’s about being in control. I always thought I knew about nutrition, me and weight loss but I still couldn’t beat it. Noom comes at the issue from so many informed angles - psychology, sociology, applied learning, data etc - wherever your weak spot is, it will come into view. And I was enlightened. My whole relationship with food is changing - I just don’t want it as much. I am eating a lot less and am still satisfied, weight loss is up and down but tracking down, and not so slowly I am getting the warm glow of a victor in the making. Food and weight have been my enemy all my life - at 64 I decided to free myself - and Noom is really on my side to make this so. The service level is exceptional and the program design - just delightful. Thank you so much

Noom worked for me during menopause. I tried Noom after getting into poor habits and not being able to shift the extra weight gain that often comes with age. The 2 week free trial was enough for me to know I was onto something. Noom is the only thing that’s helped me shift the way I think about food and also the weight. My clothes fit better and I feel great. I recommend this for people who are motivated to commit to a program that is easy to follow. The food Logging and Psychology work long term. Before noom I was eating too much of the wrong types of food. Noom has taught me how to to eat and what causes me personally to both gain and lose weight without feeling deprived of anything.

It's great. But could be better.. This app is great, I only use this app as a calorie counter to log my meals and for my steps, and it is perfect at that. It has almost every food you could think of listed, with the exact calories. I was very impressed by this and for that person saying that there’s only American food you’re wrong. There is food here listed from Coles, Safeway, iga and Aldi aswell as every fast food place. There’s even vegemite listed. , download this app for meal logging. I don’t recommend downloading for workouts and tips unless you’re happy with paying and to be honest for what they’re asking you could get a gym membership for that price and that will do a lot more for you than a stupid app that gets all their information from the internet anyway. Otherwise pretty good app and the only downside is you have to pay to have a weight loss course set out for you to help you lose weight which is $70 AUD a month

Brilliant! Plus some feedback. Review: I’m still on my 2 week free trial and this is one of the most useful and engaging apps I’ve ever had. I’ve lost 1kg over the first 4 days, changed habits more meaningfully, felt less hungry and consumed less energy than using, say, a VCLD meal replacement plan. And I’ve been eating real, nutritious food while doing it - whilst increasing my fruit and veg rainbow foods by a lot. AND. it hasn’t felt like too much of a chore to be more herbivorous. Thanks! Feedback: I’m used to working and understanding foods in kilojoules. And measures in metric. When I flip over to paying (quite a bit) for this app, it would be extremely good from a user pays point of view to be able to use it in my home currency, so to speak. It makes better time use, more workability, and easier changes for me. Like a previous reviewer said, it would be useful for the app to remember your favourite units of measurement for your favourite (regular) foods. I did enter a local new food as a kJ measure (as offered in the ‘other units’ option) and it registered incorrectly as 0 cal on my meal log. Thanks all for a great app, and for considering making some changes for non-imperial users.

Week 1 - The new Me!. I have lost 1.6 kgs in the first week 👏 NOOM is so easy. I’d seen it advertised on TV for a long time but never thought anything about it, until some questions popped up from Cyberspace on my phone last week🙃 I love the App - it’s easy to navigate - I can listen to and read my lessons, all of which are short and easy to absorb. NOOM made changing my habits far easier than I had anticipated & they gave me a diet & exercise program which I can pick & choose from - and - I have access to coaches - fabulous! Logging my daily weight, meals, exercise etc holds me accountable & keeps me on track. Well done NOOM & I look forward to a long & lasting relationship with you & my new healthy lifestyle 😊

It works!. I’ve been on and off different diet. Trying to shave some weight. Most diet I’ve been on always got me bouncing back again not long after. Mostly because they are too extreme (keto, replacement shake, intermittent fast) Noom works best for me because it allows me to eat anything I want, whenever I want, as long as its within my calorie budget. This is much more sustainable in the long run and I actually enjoy this new eating & exercise habit. With all other calorie counting apps, it’s usually very hard because there is no guide to help you through. Noom articles (though I am only halfway through) really does help me. I’ve lost 7 kgs over the past 3 months. And that was including a 2 weeks holiday where it usually was my diet downfall. I usually try to lose weight fast, but doing Noom philosophy I learn to trust the process and maintain a sustainable lifestyle. This way I don’t struggle too much and still see my weight continues to trend down overtime. I highly recommend anyone in similar position to give Noom a go. I think it’s an excellent baseline for anyone wanting to lose weight for the long run.

Excellent!. I needed something to help me focus on losing the 6-8kg I had put on post injuries last year and which I had not been able to budge on my own. I decided to sign up to Noom during Coronavirus lockdown in Melbourne Australia so that I would hopefully achieve something for me during this very isolating time. I joined thinking that even if I couldn’t stick with it then hopefully, at the very least, I would come out of lockdown no heavier than I went in. Many people are putting on weight at this time due to comfort eating & our reduced outdoor exercise time restrictions. I have found the focus & weight loss empowering & have recommended Noom to many people - it really does help to change your perspective about the food you choose daily, gives extra calorie allowance for any additional exercise you do and if you need it, makes allowances for a little blowout every so often then a reset afterwards. Having a coach & group to share experiences with is really supportive. I have lost 6kg& aim to lose another 1kg (maybe 2). Noom has been such a welcome focus for me during lockdown & I am feeling so much lighter & more agile - I hope others can feel this way too. Thank you Noom!

An excellent program!. What I love is that Noom is changing the way I think about food. I’ve always known about the food groups and ideal amounts to eat, but this app helps me do it, with the calorie budget and red, yellow and green foods. It’s not simply counting calories, but knowing that you can of course have one Favourites mini chocolate but to fill you up you could have an apple or banana for the same calories. I’m eating less but not going hungry and I’m not eliminating any of my favourite foods, just planning when to eat them. The readings are entertaining and helpful and having a coach check in every few days helps answer questions and keep motivation going.

Complete Scam. This app makes unauthorised charges to your credit card. Cancelled within the trial period, they say you have 14 days and I cancelled on day 11 only to find out I had been charged for 2 months on day 10. I unsubscribed in my Apple Subscriptions and messaged the trainer saying I wanted to unsubscribe- she told me I had to email. You go to the website and there IS NO EMAIL it says you have to message the trainer. Now my app doesn’t even have the option of messaging the trainer again. No blue bubble. They have been charging me for months and ignoring help requests through the website. It doesn’t even charge me regular amounts at regular intervals. $20 here $37 there $3 here $1 there and quite a few $121 charges. I’ve never written a review like this I’ve been caught out by apps before because I didn’t read the fine print but this is intentionally impossible to unsubscribe from and they are stealing people’s money. Just look at the non Apple Store reviews.

Has potential to be great but isn’t.. I’ve done two weeks of Noom and just unsubscribed. Why? Because I don’t think it’s very user friendly in comparison to a free app like My Fitness Pal. There’s a few steps each time you open it up just to log your food. Which you’ll be doing every time you eat or drink. Then if you want to switch between breakfast and lunch say, you have to go back out of it and then back in... hard to explain but it’s just annoying to use. Also, if I entered something like “instant oats” there would be so many choices and each one would be a different amount of calories. I found myself having to Google search a few items because it was so inaccurate. The “courses” you do each day are good. Interesting and upbeat to help you along they way with losing weight and making healthy choices. The psychology part was good but the app was a let down.

Life Changing. I highly recommend this app and program to anyone feeling frustrated about an inability to lose weight and to keep it off. There is no secret ingredient or weird eating regime. This program is written and facilitated by psychologists who specialise in coaching people in a healthy lifestyle and assisting them to reach their weight loss goals. The best part is not having to give up foods that are treats, rather eating them only occasionally and learning to use them as rewards. Your program is tailored to individual situations and goals. You have a personal coach who is available for any queries or to guide you through challenges. Most importantly, participants learn why it is they overeat, learn about their relationship with food and how to change poor habits. Then once you reach your weight loss goal, you learn how to maintain your new weight. I have lost 10kg in three months and am very happy. I feel healthy, have more energy, and am confident that my new svelte me will stay this way! The cost of the program was a fabulous investment. I now continue to use the free version of the app to maintain my weight. Thank you Noom ...and good luck to those people who are willing to give it a try!

It works, and their customer service is great.. I completed the 6 month course about 2 months ago, and I would recommend it to anyone who is prepared to read and reflect for ten minutes a day. I reached my goal weight (at the top of my BMI) during the course and I was thrilled to see that after finishing the course I have been given the skills to keep the weight off. In fact, after a break, I’ve reset my goal to the middle of my BMI and I’m using what I learned without help reach it. I’m chuffed to say that it’s working. I’ve gone from struggling with weight and self control to being able to _choose_ what I weigh. Of course I’m happy to have spent the money, which doesn’t seem to me to be that much when I see how it’s improved my life. Speaking of money, at the end of the course I forgot to stop the automatic renewal. Of course I got billed... but I sent one in app message to one person and the money was refunded within 3 hours. I’ve got a pretty high opinion of Noom. If you’re prepared to think about what you’re doing and you’re up for change then I reckon you should give it a go.

Kicked off program with no way back in. I made great progress with Noom and was really invested and making it work, when a brief payment failure on my card (automatically rectified three days later) kicked me out of my group, away from my coach and completely away from where I was with the curriculum. It doesn’t matter which customer service channel I turn to (including social media), nobody will fix the issue. Whenever I try to resolve the issue I’m bombarded with sign-up info or ignored. So… they have my money (paid up member), and eight months of psychological investment. But… you can’t get results unless you commit. So I guess I’m saying beware because all you’re really committing to at the end of the day is a bunch of people selling you software, sadly.

Reached weight goal after 3.5 months. Using Noom I lost 12 kilograms and reached my weight goal after 3.5 months. Noom taught me how to eat properly via daily articles, and help tracked my calories. I think this educational aspect has been life-changing. I like how it integrates with my digital scales and Apple Watch to automatically record my daily weigh-in and steps/activity. Some feedback I would offer the developers - there was no acknowledgement at all once I had reached my weight goal, which I found to be very strange. I also found it a bit annoying that the reminders to log meals contained some negative connotations after missing several of them - perhaps it’s a US-based psychological technique? Lastly, there doesn’t seem to be a way to set your goal to simply maintain your current weight. Ideally, it would be great to continue with the app after having reached your goal. I switched to another less expensive app because of this.

Supportive in the right moments... Noom is like a friend to me. I am a chef and business owner so other than work and sleep there’s not been energy for much else. Until Noom. I used to exercise a lot but it got lost and my energy waned as my weight gained. My body fat ebbed and flowed. Every photo showed me at a different weight. Thin when I’m stressed or dating. Chubby when I’m unhappy or feeling trapped. As I get older and move less my digestion has changed. I was getting tummy aches, bloating, joint soreness, tired and generally overwhelmed. When I was ready to accept my age and the body changed I seemed to bump into Noom. Now I am looking for a life adaptation. Ready to accept the truth. Ready to feel good and have a clear mind. Ready to eat energising food and savour each flavour.. So I am sticking with Noom. My mind plays tricks but my attitude is ‘this is for life’ so there can be no falling back into old bad habits. I care about how I feel and so does Noom. And like a supportive friend is ALWAYS there with new information delivered in an empathetic and informative way. They’ve got everything right with this app. So for me it’s a relief.

A new way of thinking about food. I highly recommend Noom. I’m 10 years post accident/multiple foot surgeries & lack of exercise & boredom l gradually gained a lot of weight. I’ve yo-yo’d trying to loose it myself & always put it back on. Noom’s approach, has completely changed how l look at food & my lifestyle (& I’m a chef) yes there’s food logging/calorie counting, but in doing that I’ve changed my eating & cooking habits, I’m enjoying much healthier cuisine. It doesn’t restrict any food just the quantities you consume each day of different types. But more so it’s not just about food it’s everything in life that makes you healthy & fit. And because you have a coach & group to communicate with, they boost you to improve in all aspects of your life. I have now started a non weight bearing workout, which I’m actually wanting to do 3 times a week - in 5 weeks (over lockdown in Melb) I’ve lost 4.5kg with them. And changed my thoughts to food so much that it’s carried over to work & I’m incorporating much healthier & still delicious menus for everyone l cook for. Without doubt Noom has changed my approach to life & my overall happiness, even though still injured l can change the health of the rest of my body.

One month after download. I’d seen countless adds for Noom, however decided it was time. The app is an American program meaning it’s calories not kilojoules however once I got past that it was pain sailing. It’s usually a 10 minute reading session a day. Far from a boring read with light hearted and positive talk. Log each meal, which sounds scary however it helps to see the type of foods you eat and assist in changing these. One negative for me is only using one device, ie you can’t use your phone AND your iPad as it doesn’t update on each device. So the phone it is for me. The program teaches you why things happen and it’s up to you to use that information. Once you know why, living makes more sense.

Lucy. As a general weight-loss program it has helped to some extent. But my experiences with customer support were absolutely appalling. Despite them giving very detailed (but inaccurate/inappropriate) replies in the chat function, the customer service provider timed out really really quickly and was removed from the chat before I even had time to screenshot the replies, let alone read them. Accidentally leaving the chat was really easy to do, and archives/transcripts of the chat conversations were not automatically recorded. When I complained about this, the instructions I was given to request a transcript asked me to select options that weren’t available. I also found the quizzes really intolerable. Given that emotions and distorted thinking play a huge role in our eating habits, I found it really confronting to be asked questions about those distorted thoughts, and then be marked right or wrong. I understand that the purpose was to teach us facts to challenge thought distortions, but the way it’s done here did nothing to change my mind/alter my thinking, and just made me loose a lot of respect for the program. I’m not ever going to be engaged by a program that rewards me for providing answers that I don’t believe in, nor is that strategy going to be an effective tool for creating long-lasting cognitive change. Noom markets itself as being psychology-informed, so this is a massive disappointment.

I’m a Noom fan. I started on my NOOM journey about eight weeks ago and it has been very supportive, informative, practical, and offers a very wholistic approach to lifestyle, health and our relationship to food. I have been guided each day with the 10 minutes lessons I committed to, written down the food I’ve eaten each day which is then automatically put into three food categories. This has really helped me to choose the foods that will sustain me most and be a lot more mindful about why I eat and what I eat and where I need to tweak my diet. I have lost 6 1/2 kg (14 pounds) and I now feel confident that I will continue to lose whatever weight I need to to be healthier and happier. What a breakthrough for me. I highly recommend noon! It really works if you follow what is suggested. And there is lots of support along the way. I feel more confident and energised.

Nooming along nicely. I have been Nooming now for 4 weeks. My weight has dropped 3kg (about 6.6 lbs) and I have still managed a good Mother’s Day celebration in that time as well. I am not seeing this as a diet but instead my lifestyle change. For me, it is good to be accountable so the food logging is great and keeps me mindful of my food intake. I love that it is called my budget because that makes it positive. If I want to fit a glass of wine into my budget - well that is easy. I am still eating lots of food I like - looking at recipes and keeping lots of variety in meals. The articles I read each day are interesting and explanatory of so much relating to food and our connections to it. The support people help to keep you on track which personalises the whole approach. A great science based programme to healthy eating and living.

Working for me. I have tried many programs over the years and I am finding Noom the most supportive and educational program that I have undertaken. I love the way you can log your meals & food eaten. It is flexible so if things change I can update it. I have found this a great asset to keeping me on track as I enter my food choices before I eat the meal so I can fine tune it if needed. I also plan my daily eating plan in the morning which I find very helpful and it keeps me on track. The daily weighing keeps me honest and also accepting that some days the weight fluctuates. I am committed to get to my goal and have achieved great results so far. Today is day 29 on the program.

Feels like a scam. I signed up after being bombarded with ads on my social media. I have previously seen a dietician and had a regular personal trainer, so with the ‘free’ trial I figured it was worth a shot. The questionnaire was rather in depth and I thought it might be worth the $100+ ongoing costs paid every other month for custom meal plan, training a coach.... however all of those things are additional. I felt as though I would be paying over $100 for a glorified food/exercise log book. Then once I came on here and saw all of the negative reviews I ended my trial and cancelled all ongoing subscriptions via the website/personal coach (which is typically automated responses anyway). IMO, it is definitely not worth it. Better off seeing a real, certified dietician. The cancellation process so far has been easy. I’ve been advised that I will not be charged outside of my $1 trial period.

Putting 1 because can’t put 0 stars.. This app is extremely US-centric; food menu offers you 25 different types of peanut butter you find at US supermarket products and 25 versions of fried rice at various US-Chinese food chains, but not native fruit and veggies you find in other countries. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP IF YOU ARE NOT IN THE US. My coach kept thinking that my calorie intake was too little, which I replied was mostly because the menu they offer didn’t propose what I cook and eat as a French woman living in Australia. I am a very healthy adult woman, according to every doctor I spoke to since I can remember. I wasn’t trying to loose weight but develop healthier habits. I got sick of having that conversation again and again and deleted the app. There was a part about French people eating smaller portions and being smaller than Americans. I felt turned into a cartoon and disappointed that Noom uses Disneyland level clichés to convince people to eat fewer fries.

Indifferent. The app and noom courses are great. It has changed the way of thinking about food and healthy living. However, there are a few disappointments: The price is not good compared to other apps that fo the same. The so called extras such as the personalised eating and exercise plans are not so personalised and were the biggest disappointment. In fact, I spent a lot of money on these for me and my wife only to get generic plans that seemed cut and pasted with a few minor changes. If I had known this would have been the level of personalised plans I could have taken 30min to search for exactly the same information from the internet and saved my money. My personal coach forgot about me after I was placed in a group chat. There was never an option not to be placed in a group and if I wanted to join a group I could have done so on another free social media group. However, I must add that my wife’s coach contacted her every few days so this might just be my experience. My advice… even though this app had good qualities, shop around, because chances are you will find exactly the same service for a fraction of the price.

Amazing App. I have struggled with weight basically my whole life, I’ve been on countless diets throughout the years. I discovered NOOM on a Pinterest ad about a year ago and debated weather or not to give it a go, about a week ago I realised I was finally at a point in my life where it is time to feel good about myself. Yes, I have only been on NOOM for one week today but I can honestly say it is a great program. The little motivation tasks you get everyday help so much, I think also the fact that you have to weigh yourself everyday keeps you accountable for your actions. (A little tough love never hurt anyone) to all the people that have struggled with weight issues, eating disorder, body shame, etc. Please give this app a go, I am not getting paid to write this. This is a real review from a real person, please do something great for yourself!

You don’t know what you don’t know. I thought I knew every dieting approach, scheme, model, plan and fad but Noom has surprised me...in a good way. They lead with psychology and keep a steady flow of education and practical tips coming at you in an easy to understand communication style every day thru the app. They are teaching me what I didn’t know about my attitude to food and breaking down lifelong held beliefs and habits that have caused me frustration and guilt about how I eat and result in weight gain and lifelong challenges with weight loss. In four weeks I’ve lost 4 kgs and I enjoy the daily interaction with the content on the app and with my goal coach and group. It’s great to be able to encourage people in my group who live on the other side of the world. I feel Noom really has put a lot of effort into their product and are doing a lot of good for people.

Too expensive. At the beginning, their app gives u an estimated date claiming we can reach our desired weight if we stay in their recommended calories range. Once u join and pay almost $150, their game starts. They provide us with a line chart which starts from the current date and it goes to the estimated date which they claimed u can reach ur desired weight then. U will soon notice the sharp decline in the trend is so fake and unrealistic. The slope seems to be 45 degree dude! How a human being can spend 1.2 calories per day and lose that amount of body mass!!! So u understand it wont work and u’ll see that the line keeps shifting in the following days!!! For example, at the beginning the told that u’ll reach ur weight on 6th of April, the second day of ur diet the line shows u’ll reach ur desired weight on the 7th of April and the game goes on!!! I even ask about why this is happening and their support just said that usually the app doesnt do that!!! it was a waste of money and didnt worth more than $10 for 2 months.

Outstanding. This app has the right ingredients for weight loss: it is based on evidence and the design is excellent. It starts by giving you hope, teaching you more constructive thought patterns, and setting you up mentally for the long haul. It has you log a daily weight, log all meals, do daily 5 min lessons with quizzes for reinforcement. You learn thought distortions like “after eating too many calories today, I’m losing hope I’ll ever lose weight”. Only downside is those lessons have little humorous asides that are just not funny. But it’s a small price to pay. Also I scan a food but it’s not recognised in Australia as its pantry database is very US based. After 2 weeks you join a group and a coach stimulates regular conversations. It follows cognitive behavioural therapy principles so focuses on the positive. My weight loss has been very modest so far but here’s the thing; I’ve stopped the pandemic weight gain trajectory I was on, I’ve lost a bit, am returning to habits that give slow but sustained weight loss, and actually believe I can do this without massive drama or deprivation. I was skeptical but now I’m a fan.

Using psychology actually works but please be more targeted in the content. I have changed habits quickly. The only piece of feedback I have that is constructive is the language in the lessons and the app as a whole is very targeted towards women and it was hard for me to connect with. As a 30 year old man who is quite open to Noom and self motivated I learned regardless but would have found it much better and easier if there was targeted content written for men and women. I can’t imagine any of my mates who are more blokey blokes connecting with this content without rolling their eyes first. My suggestion would be to make the references, jokes and lesson content targeted towards the demographic of the user. Which, based on how much information is gathered before you start the journey, wouldn’t be too difficult to do. Thanks, Alex

Please read in full.. I found it to be a good way to record my habits at the start. However, the day after I joined, I was inundated with spam emails from their partners and it is still happening. They told me that every time I read an article on Noom, whoever the article belongs to, gets all your information - including your email address. At this point I’m getting between 10 and 15 spam emails every 20 mins, every single day. And it doesn’t matter how many times I unsubscribe they just keep on coming. So much so that I intend to dump this email address, which I have used for 15 years, and start again. Noom won’t do anything to help so be warned. I am also cancelling my Noom subscription because my weight loss isn’t due to Noom as I completely resent using the app. UPDATE I can see that Noom’s Support has replied to my review, however let me tell you, after going back and forth several times with Noom Support yesterday, they finally agreed to cancel and refund my subscription. They also deleted all of my data as I requested and guess what? No spam emails today.

Misleading discounts and incorrect data. To lure you in, they offer 80% off the supposed ‘full cost’ of AU$983 per year. So you get it for the ‘discounted’ price of AU$197 per year. Trialling it out, I found a lot of data inconsistencies. The colour coded food lists didn’t actually correspond to the colour codes in their food logging feature of the app (many foods that are listed as ‘green’ are actually ‘yellow’ when you go to log your food in the app). And when I looked at two food products that had identical caloric density, one appeared as a ‘green’ food and the other as a ‘yellow’ food when food logging. It made no sense, and when I questioned the Noom Coach about this, she said “It looks like you’ve stumbled on a bug!” I don’t expect to be reporting bugs in the system after just starting to use it. Other people rely on this data abd don’t question it. It’s not fair to charge people that much money and not provide consistent data. Finally, when I cancelled my subscription they tried to lure me back in with a 65% discount off the ‘full price’ of AU$651 per year... But hang on, wasn’t the ‘full price’ equal to $983?! Hmmm....

It’s a scam, they took $129 off my account. I signed up for the free trail but on the app I couldn’t find where to unsubscribe. I lost my job and then I saw this $129 charge come off my card with no notice. I emailed the trainer and got a system generated message saying that I could unsubscribe via a link. I clicked this and it asked me for a reason for unsubscribing so I picked the pre-populated one ‘didn’t expect to get charged full subscription upfront’ and when I clicked through a message said ‘sorry to see you go but we can’t refund charges made but here’s an offer to save 65% should you wish to rejoin’. So obviously they have done this a number of times and now have a pre-populated menu for this. It’s a scam which is a shame because it has a good program.

Bad food data kills motivation. To be fair, the app is a good idea and the progressive learning is good. The issue now is that they made an error with their food data update and now the data is inconsistent. Some good foods are shown as bad foods and vice versa. This has been highly demotivating. For a program that cost more than $200, it is just not good enough. No longer can we enter the food that we have eaten, we now have to go to the analytic area after each meal and check ever food item to see if it has been given the right number of calories and that it is in the right category….ridiculous, considering that we are the ones learning about this so how do we know! The response from the company was to not tell us there was a problem and when asked, they expect us to hep them fox their data rather than sorting out their error. Yes, I am frustrated. The app was something that I trusted and used daily to help achieve my goals, now I just don’t trust it and I see my use falling and a desire to get a refund. Rant over.

Poor bookmarking history and support resolution. I’ve stopped my subscription four months after I signed up because the articles weren’t interesting anymore and I learnt all I possibly can from the program. The coach assured me that my progress and articles will still be there once I unsubscribed. Now my progress and bookmarks that I’ve paid for are no longer available to me after I unsubscribed. It took them awhile to address my concerns and even then they couldn’t do anything about it but apologize and give me a discount to resubscribe. No reassurance that this won’t happen again if I do decide to unsubscribe again. They’re saying that I have to hit the back button all the way to when I can still read my articles - not very ideal if it was months ago. There has to be a date picker to go back easily to the articles I’ve actually paid for!

2nd Time around and WOW. This is my second time using the app. The first time I successfully lost some weight but gained most of it back again. I had a barrier and just couldn’t get over it. This time is so totally different. The app continues to develop and continues to respond to the needs of its users. For me the difference this time is the combination of an active support group together with an individual coach to help me over the hurdles. Plus the psychological tools continue to develop and are proving extremely effective in changing my base habits. This is the key. New habits that allow me to enjoy the foods I like to eat and not feel I’m depriving myself. I strongly recommend this app. It is a brilliant approach to a common problem and a lot of fun!

I’ve lost 3kgs in the first month and enjoying the journey. I have done ✔️ all the diets: keto, Atkins, soup diets, calorie counting and cleansers!! However, the restrictive all or nothing thinking in these approaches always resulted in slips and made me feel really bad about myself. I love the science and psychology based approach to getting healthy, that Noom adopts. It has taught me about how damaging all or nothing thinking can be, often it leads to disordered eating, how our motivation wanes, how it’s ok to treat ourselves, portion control, key stone habits and so many more things! All with group support and a dedicated coach. Can’t speak more highly of Noom. I’ve reframed my success from a number on the scale to be fit enough to run a 5km and eventually a half marathon!! Because this is what healthy looks like to me. Thank you Noom creators and development teams! Love it!

Great system that works. I’ve never calorie counted before really, except for one meagre attempt some time ago. I’m a slim build and was working out 3-4 times a week, not losing any weight. Even with little to no exercise, I found Noom to work. Simply staying within the calorie budget for the day saw the weight fall off at a rate of 1kg a fortnight, roughly. I see it as a fun game, logging meals, weighing food, even though my boyfriend thinks it’s terribly boring. The excerpts can feel a little trite, but they’re also simple enough that they stay with you, and the whole system is designed not to overwhelm. It feels friendly, accessible and most importantly; effective!

Really disappointed-. I first signed up to noom about 2 years ago and couldn’t continue because of the cost. Now I’m back, but it looks like noom haven’t made any product updates in that time! During the sign up process, I signed up for the extra meal and exercise plans. Both were delivered as static pdfs and nothing appeared in the app interface (no meal planner, no extra recipes, no extra content) to reflect my purchase. Everything is manual. Nothing synchs with Fitbit apart from steps. Exercise? Enter it manually. Meals? The database doesn’t recognise the majority of barcodes I scanned meaning having to manually enter them. MyFitnessPal has those food items in their database but as I said, nothing synchs to noom so manually entering it is! For a subscription based service I expect more automation. Looking at the last 5 months (that’s as far as it will go back) version history of the app, there have been no major updates or feature releases and only bug fixes. It looks like this is a zombie app making someone somewhere a passive income. If you have lots of time on your hands and love manually entering everything, then this is the app for you. If you want a tech supported weight loss journey that works with and enhances your existing tech, then this isn’t for you.

App needs work. The core psychological principles behind the app are solid and well structured, but the app itself has many rough edges, inconsistencies and limitations. Issues include: lesson times listed as 3 minutes but having a 10 minute audio recording. UI navigation is all over the place - very inconsistent use of UI elements. Buttons sometimes don’t work. Lessons often use American units rather than what the rest of the world uses. It often used cute or self conscious rhetoric and is replete with American cultural references and idioms. The graphing and tracking of food, exercise and weight measurements are very limited - can’t even graph daily calorie records. All audio voices have a strong American accent - while generally not a problem, it can become grating after a while. This app could be great with a little work.

It works. I’ve been walking for 2 years and just couldn’t get under 103kgs, then covid hit and I got up to 115kgs I saw this noom ad on Facebook so though for $240 aus dollars for 6months I’ll give it a go (I’ve never done dieting program before this was the first one) I didn’t even know how much weight I should lose so I looked up my height and age and it said 85kgs so that’s what I put in, and today I sit here 5 months later from when I started writing the review at 85kgs The things I liked about the app: * it was easy to log meals * I could eat my own foods *having a coach to keep you on track with messages * the price *the app linking to other apps on your phone. The things I don’t like about the app: *you have to read articles every day, I’m not a big reader and in the end I just skipped though them all I guess they had good info in them but I just didn’t have the time to read them. That’s about it overall it was a great thing, me personally I’m going to reach out to noom to see if I can pay for a year just to keep my weight around 85kgs but I really don’t want to read the article every day and I don’t want a coach

Nothing special/awful customer service. The system itself isn’t particularly special and heaven forbid you try to do anything like update a credit card. For that, you’ll get to spend 2 hours being dropped by their chat people because the app refuses to let you update your card. After six months, the lessons turn into the most bland, pointless drivel and there’s little point to it. The customer service reps, if you can get to one and stay with them before it drops are completely unhelpful. Apparently, to update a credit card, you have to cancel the whole thing and sign up again, which is idiotic. I mean, what kind of developers do these guys have that updating a credit card takes 2 hours and a cancellation? That’s a feature that should have been completed in the beta version, if not the alpha. Super disgruntled after an extremely poor experience with their customer service reps. Again.

Too expensive for a first timer. I’ve never used an app for “weight loss”. Y’all are asking for 290$ for a year. No way I’m paying for some algorithmic app that i haven’t even tried yet. 7 days of a trial doesn’t give you enough time to check whether this works or not. Myfitnesspal seems a better option.

Not Free. 14 day trail or pay per month!

Good program, nice app, terrible customer support. Customer support is unable to assist in any way. When something goes wrong with the app, all they do is copy and paste paragraphs from the FAQ section. The program itself is pretty good though, and I personally find the meal logging function very useful.

Asking for feedback too often. That’s really my only complaint. I don’t like being asked for feedback more than once a year.

Noom Team. I am restarting Noom after 5 weeks. Why? Because in those weeks I was given information about food, pitfalls, disordered thoughts and much more. Then in the forth week I got ill, with exhaustion and pain causing me a major setback. My daughter visited and well, ….. I didn’t do so well. HOWEVER, the information I was given in those first weeks continued to pop up, not in a shameful manner, nor in disappointment in my self. It was like my head and my body said, “Oh, now I get it!” Those five weeks gave me an understanding, so I am beginning again to review and listen in a mindful proactive frame of mind. I have enjoyed Noom and have found the Team to be wonderful, present, supportive and have a fun and great sense of fun. THANKS NOOM TEACHERS!

SCAM!!. No meal plan… so you pay $200 for…. The APP! You get no meal plan that’s an extra 79$ legit you are signing up for access to a horrible set up app and zero features nothing special my fitness pal is better set up then this! Don’t waste your money! There are no coach reach outs or meal plans

Scam- Automatic money charges. They ask you to donate/pay as you can when you sign up for 2 weeks trial. Then automatically charge you 159 dollars ( for 4 months subscription) from same credit card you used for trial donation WITHOUT consent or agreement to renew or sign-up for full program. Then when bill arrive to your credit card you go to cancel but you CANNOT. You must send messages in writing to your coach and then they reply with links . Total scam and illegal use of credit card to charge you money for things you did not agree on. No refund either after automatic charges.

A Mistaken Blessing. Noom has been a blessing in my life. I had heard about it and it came through my newsfeed often but I always assumed it was just like all the other weight loss programs out there. For whatever reason this time I stopped to read the offer. Maybe it was just the right time. I thought I’d give it a try and clicked on the trial option. It then offered me a discount which I thought I had declined. However, I mistakenly accepted. I thought uhoh I can’t do this… it’s not in my plans. Was I wrong. I have learned so much in the first week. What I thought was so healthy wasn’t quite as healthy as I thought. The best part is though how Noom is always encouraging and teaches us there are no mistakes. Choices are always there and success is within reach…always! My eating habits are changing without being drastic and I am feeling healthier as well as losing weight! Don’t deprive yourself of being the best you can be. Give Noom a try. I promise you won’t regret it.

Amazing. Being in the conversation every day makes such a difference. I am amazed by the daily weight loss. I am thrilled.

Mediocre. The changes that have been made have lessened this product. Miss the 1-1 coaches

Exactly as advertised.. I spent 20 years of my adult life on yo-yo diets and always ended up weighing more after a few months. I was just about to give in when I discovered Noom. I had no trouble with any of the administration or billing. I found all the directions clear and easy to follow, although I admit the food logging took some getting used to. The coach and group were really helpful. The daily readings were fun, informative, and enlightening - there were days I thought I was going through psychotherapy! But it was worth it. I learned why I had got to where I was, which, for me, was the key to not going back. I followed the program exactly as directed, and lost all the weight I wanted to lose in the time Noom said it would take. It’s now four months since I reached my goal weight, and I have leveled off about 4-5 pounds below that. I’ve gone from a size 12, sometimes 14, to a size 8, sometimes 6! I highly recommend Noom for anyone who is serious about developing a healthier lifestyle.

Cancelled. Cancelled this app but it keeps charging me

Noom as a calorie calculator. Food calculator not as easy to use as “my fitness pal”. Biggest pet peeve is it doesn’t remember portions. Weight graph motivating Overpriced and having to pay for a whole year was less than desirable and very unattainable for many people.

Making Peace with Food. I have been eating disordered most of my life. My mother was always heavy, as was her mother, and from childhood I feared being fat. This led to a lifelong obsession with my body and an epic struggle as I waged war against my body. In high school and university, I had a lovely, slim figure. At 5’6” I weighed between 115 and 125. At 125, I felt heavy. I banned myself from the beach always struggling to be skinny though I had a perfect figure (34-24-34). I never ate lunch. In five years of high school and five years of college, I never ate breakfast or lunch. As a working woman, I starved myself, binged on junk and then hated myself. It’s been a viscous cycle that has ruined my life and relationships. I became a runner in high school. If I ate, I gained weight, I told myself. Food was the enemy. Any time I successfully lost weight - always the same 15 to 20 pounds - it was because I starved myself and exercised obsessively. On NOOM, I eat 6 times a day and I eat healthy foods, which I’ve always eaten. I have not had to change the food that I eat, but I do limit portions. I eat throughout the day things that I like, which means I have energy and don’t go to the store to buy junk food after work to reward my misery. I’m satisfied throughout the day. I walk for exercise and I’m losing weight. I’m at peace with my body and at peace with food. I’m at peace with walking instead of running, which I can’t do currently. Thank you NOOM for being that parent to teach me how to eat in a healthy way. I never had that before. I’m 55 and I am learning that I deserve to eat and be satiated. I’m worthy of food and peace.

False advertising + fat shaming. The claim by the app that it doesn’t put you on a restrictive diet is just plainly false. It gets you to count calories and restricts caloric intake per day. How is this not restrictive??? This app is no different from any other calorie counting app. Not only is it misleading, it also fat shames. It tries to convince the user that their habits need to change, making the assumption that anybody trying to lose weight has unhealthy habits. Very disappointed about this carelessness by an app that claims to have been developed by health professionals. I highly doubt it was.

Scam?. I got a trial of Noom and on the last day of the trial I cancelled. I was still billed for the entire period. I contacted the coach who didn’t respond and also emailed support and was told I didn’t cancel in time despite the cancellation happening on the last day of the trial. I am seriously thinking that this is a scam if you get charged for a free trial. I am very disappointed.

Lights the Fire. I think it is a good app to get you moving in the right direction, but there is so much going on it can be overwhelming. While you have a coach they don’t do all that much and seem to recycle articles from the app? I see the point of the “group” is to build accountability, but these are strangers, it doesn’t really serve the purpose it is trying to achieve. Everyday you are bombarded with new facts about eating it is often hard to put them into practice because it is information overload (and I have a master’s degree!). So, I do think it is worth a try, but I don’t think it’s worth investing in long-term. Did you get all of that?

Pricing kills it for me. I love the concept of this app and I took full advantage of the free trial. My hope is that the developers decide to reevaluate the pricing model. I’d happily pay 24/month on a month to month basis and decline access to the coach. I think more flexibility with pricing would get a lot more people on board who might otherwise not be able to afford it.

The app needs work but the program is great!. I’m loving the program and the psychology behind it. I highly recommend it over and weight loss program I’ve tried. And there’s been many! However, the app is clumsy and frustrating. Logging meals is tedious as you can’t see all your meals and snacks on one screen or move between them easily to get an idea of your overall day. This is hard after using food tracker apps in the past. The recipes have no organization to them and you can only filter them by Favourites, breakfast, lunch, or dinner. You have to scroll through the long list which is completely random without any way to list them by category or percent green, for example. Coaching is non-existent.

Like the Program. I find it easy to do the read (take notes to review) the lessons. Like how I can manage my calories. Being focused on more green foods. Have seen a certain amount of success. Struggle with water intake and trying to figure out at what level of calories I should be consuming to achieve a little weight loss each week. It was suggested that I should be losing about 2 pounds a week. I am not making that goal.

Don’t bother if you live in Canada. Super hard to log food if you aren’t American. They have nothing for Canadian chains or foods. They shouldn’t sell this app to Canadians because they don’t support it.

Never doubt Noom. I was Leary at first, but was I ever wrong. It changed how I eat how feel and how I prepare food. And the list goes on. All positive.

Calorie budget does not properly account gor exercise. For athletes whose calorie budget is determined primarily by exercise levels rather than base metabolism, allocating only 50% of activity calories to food calorie budget would result in death. It is essential that 100% of exercise calories be added back to food budget otherwise excessive weight loss will occur and athletic performance will decline due to consuming muscle mass for energy as well as simply not having sufficient energy on hand for exercise. This app makes dangerous and wrong recommendations for active people.

DO NOT USE THIS PROGRAM!!. I thought based on the trial if I liked it I would continue to use it, however I got I’ll half way through and couldn’t complete the program due to illness. I was billed $129.00 on a automatic renewal without receiving any notification prior to being billed.!! I asked for a refund, with no response and they just cancelled my subscription. I’m still trying to get my money back. Also they said I can still use but have cancelled my access?? Worst experience I have had in customer service in a long time. Do not use this program!!!

This is a scam!. I was charged for $129 after the 14 day trail. There wasn’t any communication about subscription fee. When I contacted the coach, she sent me a link to cancel the service. But I was still charged for the period of service I won’t use. I’m very disappointed with this experience.

Alright!. Love the app. I lost 55 pounds, it took me eight months. Easy to follow, 10 minutes a day commitment, I never went on a diet before, so cannot compare to other diets, but Noom worked for me.

Really disappointed. Signed up, followed the plan, even paid for the email plan. No coach reached out, no plan provided! 1 month later still nothing! Save your money!

Wasted of money and time. Be advised: All you have to do is count calories. Some good information given in texts that are made long because of the need to be unnecessarily funny. The coach is not helpful at all - answer your questions with “I can’t help you with that. Let me know if you want to know more about ‘whatever’” and there comes another article. I felt like wasting my time and getting anxious. It was a waste of money and time.

Great!. 7 weeks in and I have lost 20 kilos!

A good recovery.... I had a similar experience as so many others, I signed up for a very affordable trial but couldn’t find a pricing model until I was suddenly charged $199 2 weeks later! No email or message, I only noticed the charge in my CC! I messaged the “coach” & got an auto response.... I did get a full refund in 24hrs! They build a weight loss program that helps change the mindset and will probably be very effective for those that can afford it.

Disappointed!. I thought I was dealing with an ethical company at first, but when I saw that my subscription was automatically renewed, I was surprised. I contacted them the day my credit card was charged and they said they would only provide me with half of my money back. I wouldn’t recommend this app/program as I think they use the auto-subscription to scam their customers and then act like they are doing them a favor by only giving them a partial refund. I was really disappointed and surprised.

Sloppy app. The first day I started noom, it was great. The second day, I’m unable to log any of my meals, and the settings keeps changing my age, weight, and gender.

Asking for credit card before trial. Clearly a scam, I didn't even know apps were allowed to collect that kind of information instead of billing through Apple!

Read This First. The Better Business Bureau has issued a warning for users of weight loss app Noom. In a Wednesday (Aug. 19) news release, the bureau said it’s seen a “significant uptick” in the number of calls it’s received about the app. Between Aug. 16 and 18, the bureau received 1,213 consumer complaints about Noom, largely about billing and customer service, compared to 2,023 total complaints since July 2017. According to a bureau alert, consumers are trying to cancel during the free trial offer but are still being billed for between $20 and $40 in monthly subscription costs. Customers are also claiming they are being charged upfront for several months of subscription, in amounts from $120 to more than $180 instead of being billed monthly. “Nearly all consumers detail the difficulty they encounter when trying to get in contact with the company’s customer service to request a refund of charges,” the bureau said. The bureau warned customers to read terms carefully when they sign up for a free trial, especially for health and wellness apps.

Life changed. Noom has shown me how far out of control I really was with eating . So supportive and you learn so much . Things you have never heard of . Not the same old stuff for sure. Noom uses cognitive behavioural therapy. This I had not tried before . Now that I’ve changed my mind I can finally change my body!!! 😀

Unique. Could be better.. Would be great if someone actually read the answers you give on the daily quiz/goals things. Also a “start over” type option. I fell off the wagon and now I’m days behind in the lessons compared to the group. Would be nice to go back or for the lessons to not progress when you have days you didn’t do the things in the app.

Beware. I had signed up for trial period but did not know how to cancel. I thought they would send me an email to tell me my trial period was coming to an end and to ask if I wished to carry on. I did not receive any message but was charged $129.00 on my credit card the morning after my trial period ended. I messaged right away to please cancel but was told I was too late.

Weight losing. Noom has changed my life I have more energy I am walking more & eating healthier Thank you Noom for coaching me in the right direction

Not worth it. This app doesn’t work. They bill you constantly and don’t even send you an email that they are charging you. Complete waste of money. Not recommended.

Nothing special. This is an expensive app for a program that promises to be different. It’s not. It’s a standard calorie restricted diet and food logger with the added, “bonus,” of a lot of irrelevant or obvious tips. If you had terrible eating habits and didn’t know anything at all about when you should be eating, you might get something from their daily readings. A lot of eye rolling quizzes daily, a group you’re supposed to feel accountable to, but you won’t. A “coach,” who pops in to offer incredibly generic suggestions about once a week and some really odd cornerstones to a supposedly, “psychology,” based program. Daily weigh-in is the first or second item on the to do list. The program never explains why that is. I reached out to my coach and group leader as to why Noom makes that a top priority and then struggles to constantly keep people motivated when that daily weigh in often doesn’t show you what you hope for. I mean, we all know the scale fluctuates for all kinds of reasons, but it’s disheartening to follow a program strictly and be asked to measure daily and so no or backwards progress. A weekly weigh in seems more effective. My group leader didn’t respond. She just liked my comment. My coach told me that I was “empowered to enter any weight I wanted.” No kidding, bud. My question is why does Noom make daily weigh in such a high priority and then spend all their time telling people not to worry about it. I lost weight, but no better than free apps like LoseIt. The material is no better than free apps. There’s no big secret wonderful thing here. Save your money. Get a free meal log and step counter. Most unappealingly is that the last few “lessons” I’ve had on the app are now encouraging me to try stuff from other fad diets like Paleo. Total garbage. Not as advertised.

App won’t work. I downloaded Noom a week ago and started going through the setup pages. After filling out the demographic questions, a page with two options comes up (fit for good or lose weight for good). No matter which one I choose, the app just takes me back through the demographic questions. I’ve tried reinstalling the app and that didn’t work. I also emailed the company when I first had issues and got no response.

Not worth the cost!. The amount they charge for this program is ridiculous. All the information they provide can easily be found ONLINE and for FREE. I wouldn’t waste your money on this. The “coaches” weren’t much help. They literally just Paraphrased everything I said to them. For example: they would ask me “what goals have you been working on this week,” and I would say I would say “I’d like to eat less sugar,” and they would say “so you want to eat less sugar, how are you going to do that,” and I would say “I will stay away from it,” and they would say “so your going to stay away from sugar for the week.” And that was pretty much the extent of most of my concert with the noom coaches! Major disappointment, I definitely thought I would be getting a little extra help. It was just the biggest waste of time/money. I got absolutely zero help from my coach. She sucked and honestly sometimes I felt like it was just computer generated responses. The only reason why I am even giving it one star is because I did like the calorie counting system. I don’t know what you are paying for when you pay the $200+ dollars for this service. Go download Lifesum or my FitnessPal for the same kind of calories counting system for FREE. Or spend the extra $30 ish a year for premium subscription for both those apps, which in my opinion get the job done equally as good! This app may be good for a select few, but if you have access to the internet I would just google “weightloss tools/tips,” and probably 90% of the information given to you on NOOM will be right in front of you for FREE on google. For real! Don’t waste your money.

Interesting concept but falls short on some of the core elements it promotes. The articles are somewhat interesting and they are presented in a fairly engaging way, but that’s about where the good things stop for me. Meal entry is a big component of the app and I find it very cumbersome to use. It’s complicated and difficult to properly enter your own recipes into the app and you can’t share recipes with others. The recipes the app gives you are limited and sometimes contain errors. It does try to learn what you eat when, but sometimes the default portion options make no sense, making you take a minute or two to enter things properly. The personal goal coach is intriguing, but it’s basically scripted and feels fake. I get a message each week asking what I want to focus on and then a generic follow up asking how I did. It feels like an AI program could do the same thing and not like the personal coaching relationship it’s sold as. Don’t get me wrong, the coach is polite and encouraging, but it feels like engaging with someone at a call centre using a script as opposed to a personal coach. The group your assigned to is also intriguing, but I don’t feel like I was marched with an appropriate group. The vast majority of people in my group are in vastly different situations than me and much of the discussion is hard for me to relate to. Overall the app has helped me develop better eating and exercise habits, but I think it’s over priced for what I’m getting out of it and may have had the same results buying a book on healthy lifestyles and purchasing a generic nutrition and exercise tracking app.

Useless waste of money. Not worth the money, super expensive and all info and other features provided can be found for free online or through apps that don’t charge 130$+ to send you articles . It’s super expensive and ultimately useless, don’t waste your money.

Don’t waste your time. I thought this app would be different. I paid for the plan, and that was it. No support, no help, nobody reached out. There is no customer support. No number to call. You leave messages in their “help” chat and nobody responds. Just automatic computer messages. I paid for a plan, plus an ad-on meal plan and workout plan. Again, nothing. No link, no help, no plans sent to me. I’m so frustrated with this, and nobody is available to help.

Make sure you google internet reviews first. They are a sleaze company with huge chargebacks. Class action lawsuit. They use dark psychology to get your credit card info. The program is ok. It’s calorie counting plus motivation plus recognizing and changing bad habits and lies you tell yourself. But their weight loss claims are based on 5% of your body weight. Few people lose more than 10% of their body weight. And they are scummy.

It used to be good. I have been using the app for two years, and it was effective and user-friendly. But for three months it hasn’t worked. No calorie allowance, far too long to log meals, just buggy as a picnic. It’s frustrating to watch Noom commercials stumping for new customers when the existing customers are being shafted.

Waste of time and money for a bot. Don’t bother with this app or program! The “coach” is on auto response and it’s not even a quick one either. Had to wait 12-24hrs before I got any response and when I did... it’s all generic. Paid for a meal and weight plan and nothing happen on that. Lucky I checked my account and they were about to charge me another $199 as a subscription which I never knew was going to happen. Don’t bother with this app. You’re better off signing up for a real life coach!

This is a scam! Don’t do it!. This is a giant scam! Don’t waste your money! The content is time gated, the “live service” option is a robot most of the time and a “once a week” once again time gated system. There’s nothing new here. The dietary information is widely available for free! The “personalized system” isn’t personal at all. Nothing is actually groundbreaking… they are just helping you build bad spending habits…. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!! Or your time!

Game changer. I came to the realization that my weight struggles were emotional/psychological. I’m a smart girl that was in great shape for most of my life and then changed my lifestyle. These changes resulted in a roughly 50 pound weight gain that I tried to address for ten years. Everything I started to do to lose this weight,I’d give up on 3 weeks in. I kept seeing the NOOM ads on Instagram and even took the questionnaire once, only to not commit by plunking down money. I just figured it was yet another attempt I’d fail at. But the ads kept popping up...and they never annoyed me. The one video with a girl easily zipping up her jeans really got to me. I have so many cool jeans just sitting and rotting in a drawer. My self esteem had never been lower and it affected EVERYTHING in my life. My back hurt. My fingers ached. Finally I just signed up one day. I told my husband something like ‘I have a feeling this might help me’. And it has. Tremendously. I went head straight into doing NOOM in a perfectly imperfect way. I just can’t say enough about my experience with this little app. I do think you have to want to dive in, get deeply honest and go through being a little discombobulated till you carve out a new lifestyle. That’s exactly what I’m determined to do. Highly HIGHLY recommend.

Essentially starving yourself. I had really high hopes for this app! First let me start off that after 2 weeks of your trial, they will charge you $130 for 4 months without notice. You also can’t get a refund if you’re not satisfied with that because “you had two weeks to cancel”. I guess that was my fault. Next thing is, you start off with a 2000 calorie budget and then it drops lower and lower. I feel as if Noom wants me to starve myself. I work outside, I am constantly sweating and walking around. I’m going to eat, and I shouldn’t have to feel bad about going over 1300 calories while eating healthy foods. Second of all, they list some foods that are high in nutrition like almonds/peanut butter and oatmeal as “red foods”. This makes me feel like I can’t eat anything, I only have so much time to make something quick and healthy that will fill me up until lunch time. Overall, I’m really not pleased with this app! I know it’s all psych tricks to make you break your bad habits but it’s just not working for me. I really wish I could get my money back. The only good part is counting my calories and seeing if my weight goes down by logging it in. I also believe they should let us take pictures of our meals for accurate calorie calculations, as in they measure how much calories our plate has and we list the things in them. That would help! I don’t recommend Noom if you’re broke like me, just constantly go to the gym and eat more veggies than yummy foods! That’s been working for me!

Not a fan of the updated app. I lost 50 pounds on Noom last year. I started gaining back, so I paid for a couple of months just to help get me back on track. The app has changed slightly, but the slight changes have really made it harder for me to keep track of how many calories I am eating. It used to display how much green, yellow, and orange I had eaten in their own separate bars. I think they still have that somewhere on the app, but it was hard to get to. The biggest change is that the bar on the top that shows you how many calories you have eaten is really unbalanced. There is 100 calories that I am supposed to stay within to lose weight. Those 100 calories take up half the bar. So I’ll be logging all day, and only be at half the bar. I’ll think I am doing really good, but then WAY overeat at the end of the day because it feels like I have only eaten half the day’s worth of calories. It also makes me feel so discouraged about how much food I am allowed to eat because if 100 calories takes up half of the progress bar, I only get half of what looks like a day’s worth of food. It’s a total head game, but that is what Noom is actually all about. Informing your brain that it doesn’t need to eat more. Just wish the features on the app made that easier . Wish I could download the older version.

Good as a calorie tracker. When I first joined I was asked to pick the price to pay that I thought was fair. I picked the max amount. I received a “meal plan” and an “exercise plan” which was minimumly helpful. I was promised two coaches. One introduced herself but never really involved herself with me, the other never did. Most of the messages I got as a paying member were computer generated. The “coach” told me she didn’t work on weekends and asked me what I wanted from her. I don’t know...I told her you’re the coach, tell me how it works... I then requested a different coach and never got one. After complete absence from the coach for about a week, I cancelled. Then I got a computer generated message saying that I could pay another price. So I said why not give it a second chance. I was never given that chance. I was cancelled and the ability to see recipes was removed. All that was left was the tracking calories part. I tried to “take a course”. I filled out the whole questionnaire. At the end of the questionnaire nothing g happened yet I continued to be asked if I wanted to take a course. Ultimately it was a terrible experience except for the calorie counter. Due solely to my own will power, I reached my weight loss goal in 3 months.

Thorough, effective approach to lifestyle change. Noom uses a very intentional and effective approach to weight loss and lifestyle change. The baseline principle is straightforward: you have to track everything you eat and get active to lose weight. That part really isn’t in doubt or debatable. You can restrict calories, carbs, fat, etc. and succeed in losing weight. However, if in your mind there are two distinct periods: the diet, when you are losing weight; and then the post-diet, when you return to eating and exercise habits of before the diet, you’re going to gain all of the weight back and perhaps more. What is different about Noom is that it does not prohibit specific foods and label them as “bad” or off-limits. Yes, you have to make choices but Noom acknowledges the importance of psychology and developing good habits that are sustainable. Will it work for everyone? No. But not everyone will commit to taking an honest look at their personal habits and make a lifestyle change. Some people will just use it to lose 10 or 15 pounds and then go back to living exactly the way they did before. But if you want to make a significant change and have tools to track the process and keep yourself on course, I recommend Noom as a way to do that.

Good idea but if you’re wanting personalization, you’re not going to get it.. So I was really excited to try out Noom. I started in May, and had my first contact from my personal coach. It seemed interesting and I loved the daily reads and quizzes. I was also excited for the group coaching too. I ended up pay for one month but cancelling right before renewing. The thing is, I noticed the personal coach seemed very generic. They seemed human, but I never got answers when I responded. Another week would go by, and instead of replying to me, she said something else about the goals and plan. May 8th rolled around and I still wasn’t in a group. I sent a message to my personal coach answering the questions she asked me about my plan. A week later and no response. I thought “oh well” and continued the daily log in, weigh in and reading the articles they provided. However, By May 23rd I still hadn’t heard from my personal coach and still wasn’t in a group. It was boring and everything I was doing, I could just do on my Fitbit app. So I cancelled the renewal. On May 27th was when I got a response from my personal coach. Not even addressing what I said prior just saying “oh gosh I can’t believe I missed your message”. She asked me if I had any questions and I replied but she still didn’t respond. This felt like a waste of money. Best to use the free version and not the payment one. I was really looking forward to the personalized experience.

Life Changing! Worth every penny!!. I started Noom in June of 2019, weighing 165 lbs and wanting to get in shape after recovering from ACL surgery and knew it would be easier if I were thinner. But isn’t that to story of my life. Everything would be easier if I were less heavy. I could move easier, fit in to more clothes and wear what I wanted. Those were things I’ve wanted for years. I’ve been a little overweight since I was about 13 years old. Always about 20/30 lbs more than where I needed to be. I even had someone ask me once when I was in my 20s if I was pregnant, I nearly died. I’ve tried Nutrisystem and Weight Watchers, fad shakes and everything that I could find, but nothing really worked. Until Noom. I learned about my relationship with food. I learned about what I was choosing to eat and why. It changed my entire view about what I can eat and when I should eat it and why I should it. I lost 30 lbs and met my goal in four months. When my subscription automatically renewed, I emailed and asked for a refund, which they provided immediately. I’m now at 135 and maintaining my weight right where I want it to be using the tools I got with Noom. If you are even thinking about wanting to lose weight and change your life, don’t wait! Do it. This is a great program!!

Mediocre and not worth the price.. I’ve been using another app to monitor my macros and exercise for some time. I was having weight issues because of the humidity and swelling and no continued weight loss. It’s imperative I don’t gain weight as I’m an amputee and device fit is essential. What I discovered was it was environmental and plateau. My weight went up. It was muscular as my clothes did not fit any differently. My device didn’t fit good. That was weather and exercise related. It was hot and humid. I was doing interval training 5 days a week combined with biking. So when the weather changed everything changed and the plateau broke. My diet really remained the same. My devices began fitting the way they should fit once the humidity and temp dropped. I was very unhappy with the way food was categorized by caloric density. I could not understand why some high fat foods were Yellow and other foods were Red. I even questioned it and got answers I just didn’t like them. It was just something I wasn’t willing to change. I also wasn’t sure about doing weight daily. I learned to chart it weekly vs daily. I’ll continue to do my food and weight charting. Even chart it daily. I find that helpful. The psychology being used is somewhat repetitive for me. Grateful for the 2 week trial. Very minimal assistance from specialists. Every 4 days doesn’t seem worth the price. If it works for other, great! Go for it. Just not my thing.

“This time will be different!”. I normally do not write reviews but after starting NOOM there was no way I could resist spreading the word about how great this program is! I have tried everything under the sun to lose weight(weight loss pills, meal prep, multiple types of dieting, etc.) and I could NOT lose the weight and keep it off. With NOOM I have finally found a custom plan specifically for me that is genuinely helping me lose weight. Although my journey has just begun in one weeks time I have lost 9lbs since my first weigh in! This. Is. Working. The psychology behind over-eating, the calorie budget, the courses; I can go on and on about all of the great ways NOOM has completely turned my eating habits upside down and how I am actually loosing weight. I am thoroughly optimistic that by the end of this program I will not only have reached my target weight but I will have achieved a complete lifestyle change! I implore anyone reading my review: If you have struggled like I have for YEARS trying to lose weight, if you are tired of yo-yo dieting and not being able to keep the weight off, please choose NOOM. I am not a spokesperson and you may have heard some of these claims with other products or programs but this is real. Good luck! I’ll keep you posted on my progress!

Good start but here’s things for the developers to work on. I like the app, it’s helping me stay on food task and think about it from different perspectives. However there are quite a few bugs that I’ve noticed and which are taking away from the experience. 1. You can lose your progress. I bought a new iPhone and redownloaded the app (old phone was erased when I upgraded) and I lost everything. My course progress, my weight, food and walking stats. I tried “refreshing the app” from the account page, nothing worked. I contacted the support team email and they were no help at all, came back with canned replies that did not solve the issue. 2. The meal reminders do not come at the right times at all. I was in a different time zone when I first downloaded the app so it’s possible that it messed it up, but that should be an easy fix. Just very off putting to be reminded to eat lunch at 7 am. 3. For the courses which are audio clips, I often try to read instead by hitting the “Read this lesson” button but there is nothing to read it just skips it and takes me to the pop quiz. 4. Seems like there understaffing from the Noom guides, I was supposed to be put into a “group” a few days ago but have yet to see anything. But that is understandable and I’m not really in any need for it, just a small miss.

Life changing!. I will start off by honestly saying, yes, this app has it’s issues. That said, I’ve lost over 10 lbs in just 4 weeks and I look and feel better than I have in years! I’m currently wearing a pair of jeans that look brand new but they are over 5 years old because I haven’t been able to fit into them until now! Don’t listen to the negative comments. Those are from people who don’t need to lose weight or are not seriously trying to. I would never in a thousand years diet, but this program is so simple it’s not like dieting at all! No food is “bad” or off limits, instead I’ve learned to master what I eat instead of it controlling my thoughts. I still eat at McDonald’s and Wendy’s and even enjoy a full sugar dessert if I want. It’s all about budgeting your calories each day to make it fit. I never feel hungry. In fact, I’m honestly not as hungry as I was before I started Noom and I enjoy eating now more than I have in years!! If you have always wanted a smaller, healthier you, there is nothing out there like this program to get you there with the minimalistic amount of hassle, I promise you! Stop waiting! You get two weeks free and if you find me on Facebook and msg me, I will send you a link so you can get it for less than $20 a month!

Losing weight using sustainable strategies. I’ve been on Noom for about a month and have lost about 4 pounds. While this may not seem like a lot (I have another 16 to go) it represents enormous progress for me. I am menopausal and had lost roughly 25 pounds on my own over a period of about two years. However, I hit a plateau and couldn’t seem to get below a certain number on the scale even when significantly cutting calories and over exercising. I joined Noom after a visit with my doctor showed my health metrics were not improving and my BMI put me squarely in the overweight category. Since joining Noom I have made a few important discoveries which have allowed me to progress slowly toward my goal. First, I am no longer afraid of, or obsessed with, the scale and diligently weigh myself daily. It provides data and one insight into my journey. I have a better handle on my portions which I now realize was undermining my weight loss efforts. Noom has also given me greater insight into the emotional and situational triggers that lead me to over eat periodically. While these may seem like small changes, they have led to consistent downward trends. I am at my lowest weight in 10 years, not anxious or deprived, and feeling confident that with consistency and a few more tweaks, I can meet my goal. Thanks Noom!!!

Feeling frustrated. I am feeling very disappointedWhen I started this program I was looking forward to some helpful suggestions and coaching for ideas I am having trouble with by myself. I’ve been on the program for a while and my weight is actually more now than when I started, And when I ask for helpful suggestions I am being responded by what are my thoughts..My thoughts are I am seeking that guidance and help and that’s why I am trying to obtain helpful information in which I am not able to have those answers.. I really do like the part of helping to log my food for a daily intake however I have asked several times for guidance on calorie intake wondering if this would help he achieve my goals to lose the weight and I keep getting asked what my thoughts are for the amount I have no idea hug and that is why I am asking for some support help in guidance if this is not part of this program would you be able to recommend that is? I started at 112 about 2 months ago & I am know at 112.8. I do make healthy choices on food & right now my calorie intake on the app allows my calorie intake up 1200 calories so that is what I was going by. Again I was told you can do more but I was looking for a suggested amount to help because I do not know what ballpark area I should be at. I was hoping to be around 105 by now & like I said I am farther away than closer to that target area.. any helpful suggestions would be greatly appreciated..

So many issues so far :/. t the app has so many glitches. Let’s start at step one: sign up. My sign up just DID NOT WORK. I downloaded the app, signed up, then went to log in. It didn’t work. Kept saying my password was wrong. My password was not wrong. I reset it multiple times to no avail. Contacted customer service, who again advised me to reset the password. Then customer service insisted the only solution is I provide a new email address. I did this, got the app up and running — only to realize five days later the lauded “group” feature was totally missing. Then I realized when the updated my email address they put me in the healthy weight program instead of the diabetes prevention program I signed up for! A day or so later I realize the coach only infrequently interacts. Then I reach out to customer service again to get help and answers. Twenty four hours later, I’ve received zero response. My seven day trial — which I only got five days because I could not log in, expires tomorrow. I think I have to quit before the trial ends because I don’t want to pay for an expensive and non functional app with poor customer support. I’m disappointed. I want to love this app. I love the theory. I’ve tried everything, literally, in the past. I just want to be healthy. I know it will take a slow change of mindset and lifestyle. Noom seems to have many of those bases covered. If only it actually worked as advertised.

Extremely basic. If you have a basic understanding of health & nutrition, this app is NOT for you. Is it better than the elimination/restrictive diets that focus solely on what you eat? Sure. But the lessons are really basic (surprise! Sugar isn’t healthy) and the tone is condescending. So. Many. Hashtags. The coaches aren’t helpful. The app itself is not user-friendly at all; you’re supposed to write goals in the app, but the app doesn’t save them…! So you’re also supposed to take screenshots of what you wrote…which they don’t tell you. Expectations upfront are unclear - for example, you can opt to join a group, but they don’t add you to one until you’ve been in the app for two weeks. But they don’t actually tell you that, so you’re just left wondering what’s going on. The messaging section is also awful and difficult to use. For a company that claims to serve so many customers, I would’ve expected a way better interface. The food logging functionality is ok, but My Fitness Pal is far superior. And don’t believe their whole “we don’t label foods good or bad” claim…they literally label them red and green. But somehow expect you not to see them as good/bad. A psychology-based company should know better, you’d think. I see what they’re trying to do, and I respect it. But the execution is pretty mediocre. Your $ is better spent on Christy Harrison’s intuitive eating course, or a program like Smart Strong Bold.

Better than expected. I’ve had good success with this program. It took twice as long as predicted, but then again I didn’t try very hard. In fact, I feel like I did very little and it still worked! The group stuff is great, the goal specialist is ok so long as you keep your expectations in check. The content, while the real content lasts, is excellent. It would be better slowed down and stretched out a bit, so it’s easier to retain. Pros: 1. The program really works! 2. Activity/Active Calories/Steps data works flawlessly with Apple Watch/health kit 3. The support group and group coaches are awesome 4. Can read data from other (more robust and free) logging apps like MyFitnessPal if you prefer. 4. Great content for the first month or two My complaints: 1. Food database is better than expected but nowhere near as great as MFP. 2. Logging salads is the worst. There’s no way to save meals or create recipes to save time 3. Weird technical issues. For example, if you want to change payment plans you have to delete the app and start over (Or so I was told). 4. Goal Specialists are hit or miss. 5. There’s no pricing to continue with your group and logging after you’ve reached your goal. So you continue to pay a premium price, or you quit. 6. The red, yellow, green ratio doesn’t quite work for vegetarians

Believe. I’m so impressed with the Noom program. It’s the best program I have ever used. I truly BELIEVE I will achieve success. No matter whether I meet my idea weight loss goal of 45 lbs or not. What I’m learning as a Noomer will change my life and health for the better. The technique of using psychology to relearn your personal relationship with food and building a positive foundation of a balance of physical activity and more thoughtful food choices is a win win situation. The tools suggested to manage stress and to try and understand why we make the choices we make about eating is so helpful. The coaches are phenomenal in their enlightened , experienced suggests and they are wonderful cheerleaders! I just completed my first level and although it’s a slow and steady journey... the great thing is .. NOOM teaches a SUSTAINABLE situation of weight loss. No YO-Yo stuff here. As a new NOOMER... just Believe it can be done. Keep your mind set on your BIG PICTURE, and know the longest of journeys begins with taking the first step. Perfection is not required! Just keep positive and get back up and be kind to yourself when you feel you have failed.. we are only human. Noom can help you become the best version of your human self! 😃. Thanks NOOM and much thanks to my awesome coach Valerie. Linda Marriott.

Worth its weight (pun intended). I am so grateful to have found Noom! It is technically a weight-loss program, but it is more of a sustainable, life-changing program. It has taught me more about how I think about myself, my relationship with food, the physiological things in my body that impact my choices about eating and helped me be more aware of the environmental influences the influence my choices. Aside from the initial cost, the only investment I have made is my time and attention. I am the mother of seven, working, and finding time for anything as hard. Because of the simplicity/completeness of the app, I don’t feel like I am wasting my time at all. This isn’t something that I will have to be connected to forever because the whole goal is to teach us all how to do it on our own instead of getting us reliant on a program. It has been one month and I have lost 10 pounds in a way that feels sustainable, encouraging and supported. In addition to all of the information and help noon provides, I have also been connected to a Noom support group where we help each other and troubleshoot together. It helps us to realize none of us are alone and none of us are perfect, and that is totally OK. I would do it again in a heartbeat and I’m grateful for the investment that I made!

Good program except for.... I really like this program. I wish I could give 4.5 stars. The only problem is the group discussion board. There is absolutely no organization. You are supposed to share things with the group but when you click on the link it doesn’t take you to a “module” for that particular response. It is just a big mess of responses to all different questions in no particular order that I can see. So instead of everyone responding to question A and discussing, you have to scroll through the whole mess. If you get a notification that someone responded to your comments or mentioned you in a comment and you click the notification same thing you are just dumped in the mess. People feel the need to post everything they have done. Again no specific module. I don’t have time to scroll through all of it. I think Noomnerds need to look at how an online course or other apps, like Facebook, are set up. When you click a link it should take you to module on that question where everyone is responding. If you get a notification clicking it should take you to the comment. Want to post your daily activity....there should be a separate module for that also. I’ve learned a lot with Noom. Based on science. Plenty of reinforcement. Could be a GREAT program if it was more organized.

What type of witchcraft??. I downloaded Noom on May 1st...it’s now May 7th and I’ve officially lost two pounds with this app and it’s weird,funny, quirky little articles (the way they write their articles tho...it honestly makes my day). Now, I’ll be honest. The first two days went well. I logged all meals (even the crazy indulgent ones), did morning weigh ins and read all the articles). However days 3,4 and 5 I skipped weighing or logging...and days 4 and 5..no articles read. Life’s just been busy and I appreciate how the app understands that. Most apps or programs don’t really plan for the client to fall off the train or make a small mistake. But this app does. You open up the app after a few days of missed logging or reading and it doesn’t make a big deal about it. It doesnt make you feel ashamed for being human and making a simple mistake. I’m on the free trial but I’m 95% convinced I’m actually going to buy the plan at the end of next week. I still can’t believe I dropped two pounds in a week??? This app even convinced me to buy a new scale because I thought my old one was broken lol. Noom is perfect for you if you want a fun, light-hearted nudge in the right direction tbh. It focuses on helping a person first internally and that makes all the difference. Now I’m gonna go catch up on those articles😪⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️✨✨✨💪💪💪💪

Did not provide services paid for. While, the concept of Noom is pretty good, the app is not user-friendly except for daily activities. Only available contact with a Noom ‘coach’ is available; and conversation, although promised on a daily basis, is sporadic (once a week)at best. I had an issue with not receiving the meal plan and exercise plan - buyer beware - this is an add-on $$ at sign-up. When I inquired on how to receive a refund for the plan I didn’t receive from my ‘coach’, the only thing I received was a link to cancel my membership. Since I could not find any alternative contact information, that’s just what I did, still not having received the meal plan/ exercise plan that I paid for up front. FYI: Noom makes you wait until your free trial period is over before setting you up with full access to the program - there’s no real way to understand if the program is a fit for you until after you pay the full fee. Sure, food logging and step counting is great, and there are some recipes in the app. And daily information, but this isn’t really anything that can’t be found outside the app. There’s no real taste of the program until you pay the joining fee. I’m disappointed in the free trial that only showed me that I would need 10-15 minutes a day (plus time to log each meal) to read through daily lessons and complete tasks. Not hooked enough to shell out $150+ to find out if it’s a program I would stick to long term.

I like it for the most part. I like learning about how my mind works in relation to food and why I eat what I eat. I was skeptical about weighing in every day but it turns out it’s super helpful to have a lot of data points, and it makes it less of a big deal when you pair it with purposely getting comfortable with seeing fluctuations. I was also skeptical about counting calories, but I understand now it’s more about figuring out what foods will satisfy you without excessively adding to your daily calorie intake. I wish there was even a little bit of focus on macronutrients. The fact that there is no distinction between healthy and unhealthy fats in the food tracker is troubling to me. Most importantly!! I am really really irritated by the tone some of the articles “speak” in. Not only is the sense of “humor” annoying, but some of them are just rude about people Noom doesn’t seem to think will be using their app. When every article that mentions work refers to working at a desk and hanging out in a break room with free snacks? And then trashes “waiters you just want to tell to stuff it”???? Not everyone using your app has an office job lol. The articles make me not want to log in and read them cause they’re truly so obnoxious. Overall, I like the methods of the program but I would love to see a LOT of improvement in the way the articles are written.

Helped me get back on track. What I liked: the motivation to weigh in, the weight chart, most of the content (although it’s very cutesy and hashtag-heavy), and the ability to log exercise. What I though was pretty good: the calorie-logging function. I have nothing to compare it to short of reading labels and writing on paper, so I don’t know how it compares in simplicity and accuracy with other apps that might be out there. I thought it was pretty easy. What I didn’t use or find helpful: The weekly check-in from my goal specialist and the group coaching. Once a week I would get asked a generic question by my specialist. They only communicate with you once a week. Also, group coaching on an app is just not for me. I don’t want to be looking at my phone all day and reading other people’s responses and trying to figure out what to say back. That is way too time-consuming. So after the first introduction I never went back to the group. I didn’t have too much weight to lose, I signed up to give me some accountability for what I was eating. It was eye-opening. I liked Noom for tracking what I ate and making me think differently. I did it for two months and it helped, I took off the few lbs I wanted to lose and have maintained within a couple pounds. I have to say, when following the program, I was almost always hungry! Losing weight is no joke.

Informative, helpful, habit-transforming. You know you’d like to eat better, feel healthier, sleep better and lose weight. This is a seriously helpful approach and app. Encouragement (not shame). Attitude of abundance (not scarcity or self-denial). Information that facilitates your own choices and strengthens both your knowledge and your confidence in your own will and your own choices. Eat ice cream (in moderation). Have pancakes (again, in moderation). Have a nice steak (maybe a smaller piece - save some for tomorrow and savor the bites!). This app gently informs you and leads you to knew choices that become super easy to make (I used to despise yams but bow eat about 2 per week! Amd who knew that frozen red grapes could be such a delicious, low cal treat?) The method is great. A few minor complaints about the app itself. It would be great if you could tap a quick add IN THE CORRECT PORTION UNIT for foods you eat regularly. (The default for maple syrup is measured I think in cups and I use half a tablespoon on my oatmeal - tons of scrolling every morning to fix that is annoying). Also, the ability to add other good habits of your own choosing would make this an absolute five star (meditate for 10 minutes, play guitar for half an hour, walk, skip a cigarette, etc). Minor complaints aside... This is the way to go!!

Evaluate what you want from Noom. I have over 100lbs to lose and know that dieting doesn’t work and wanted to try something different before taking the first steps towards Bariatric surgery. I’m at the five week mark and I’m not sure this is for me. First, I feel this program is not geared towards people who have 100+ pounds to lose but more so to people who have 15 or 20 pounds to lose. I also don’t like the sporadic contact with your goal specialist. It takes a week to hear back instead of having a conversation in the moment as the program makes it seem. I also am not a fan of the group. I think grouping people by their goals would be so much better. I’m in a group with people who are not massively overweight and it’s hard to be open when people with 15lbs to lose are like “I’m on week 3 and lost 10lbs already!” meanwhile, I’m on week five and I’ve lost 3lbs. It’s so discouraging and makes me wish I could turn the group function off! I also don’t like having to weigh in every day. I’ve been taught that this is not a good way to measure weight loss as weight fluctuates due to many factors and weighing in weekly is more accurate for weight loss. Also, as someone who is a recovered and now massively overweight anorexic, daily weighing is so, so triggering and brings back old habits but that’s my own personal hang up. Overall, I love the psych tricks and they are helpful but I don’t think the $44 a month is worth it for what I’m getting.

A real review, from someone who rarely posts reviews. Simply put: I was a total skeptic, as my experience of these things is that they are both expensive and rarely work. Big surprise: Noom really does work. I’ve been on it for about 6 weeks and have already lost 5 pounds, and it has never felt like a chore, a burden. or a project. And this occurred with my 50th birthday AND Thanksgiving in the middle, folks. Wow. Just gradual, natural, and healthy. I’ve formed new and better eating habits, am far better at balancing the types of food I eat, and have gotten past several (inevitable) low periods with the help of my coach and Noom’s cognitive behavior-changing content - which is really fun and life-affirming to read, I promise you. Best moment: when I asked the coach if I could slip in a dose of my favorite French toast every so often and she replied, “Are you kidding? Of course! It’s all about moderation!” It’s lovely to hear that from someone other than myself - and I enjoyed every bite, and then went right back to my regular habits. Didn’t have any regrets, didn’t start craving more. Bottom line: most apps/plans target only one or two pieces of the puzzle. Noom is an end-to-end strategy put into practice, that really helps you learn how to become healthier - while enjoying it! I rarely write reviews, but these guys deserve a great one. Thanks, Noom!

Works but is insulting to seniors in many ways and also to the physically challenged.. This is a good app for weight loss. Most of the info isn’t new but it’s very well presented and is easy to remember. The app however is meant for the younger generations. There is one question which asks about which decade of age you are. It cuts off after 60. Not bad in itself. But it also just assumes that you can walk 10,000 steps a day, because nobody has arthritis or COPD right? I just read a bit of peppy advice that said the changes made here will last a lifetime and that’s “a long time”! Well Probably not for me. It’s pretty clear that I am not in Noom’s intended group of clients (although it initially assured me that it has helped 70 year olds before). I wonder if their research included boomers. So I’m proceeding with caution. I don’t need to be reminded that I’m old, and not as capable as I once was when I’m losing weight. However, it does keep reminding me that I’ve leaned more than I thought I did. Overall it’s a great app if you are younger than say 55 or 60 or are not tired of agism already. The info is useful and arranged in a logical an easy to remember fashion, but the writing seems shallow and overly commercial, considering the way it was advertised.

Noom. I’ve been on NOOM for a month. I’m 65 Yrs old. I’ve been overweight my entire life. I thought I would hate logging everything I ate. That practice has been surprisingly easy AND made me realize how much mindless eating I was doing. I would tell myself a few chips are okay to eat. That it is, according to NOOM. Then I saw the the number of calories I was racking up by mindlessly grazing all day long. Seeing this, I’ve been able to slowly start changing my habits. Now that I’ve started grazing on healthier foods, my cravings are starting to diminish. I still enjoy chips and chocolate. Who wouldn’t? Just not in the quantities I have in the past. I have been sorely tempted to give up during the past month, due to daily logging results. NOOM’s tips helped me to push past that. I now see my weight graph with many hills and valleys, but an overall downward trajectory! The articles are fun. I never read more than five minutes in a day and just read when I need additional encouragement. The coach has been able to give me good suggestions for my snacks when I got bored with fruit. I don’t exercise and have a sedentary job, so the weight has been slow in coming off. With the few pounds I’ve lost, I am finding it easier to get up the stairs and pain from osteoarthritis in my knees is diminishing. Thanks for the support, NOOM.

Great until it’s not. I loved Noom through the first month. I actually lost 9 lbs and felt like I was finally on my way to weight loss. It’s now been nearly three months and I haven’t lost any more weight. Obviously I am responsible for my self control, but Noom doesn’t provide a system to make you feel back on track once you get off track. First, they send you 5-6 articles a day which get to be exhausting over a long period. Many articles build on each other so if you miss three or four days then you will see references from previous articles you won’t understand unless you go digging through those that you missed. When you’re struggling to revive motivation, becoming weighed down by information is not helpful. Second, the weight loss coaches are amateur. I’ve had two now and I’ve had the same issues with both: very slow response time and unhelpful advice. For response timing, I’ve waited as much as five days for a response to a simple question. As for the content of the advice, it’s mostly questions in a Socratic form or stuff that is already heavily hit on in the articles. If I ask a question, 90% of the responses are another question. “What can I do to stop my junk food cravings?” “Well, what are some habits you could form to avoid craving junk?” If I could answer that question, I wouldn’t have asked. I appreciate the system for what it is, but I did pay a lot of money to get the program.

Nutrition info all wrong, tedious logging. I do like this app overall, I like the way it works and how it’s different than other programs, but logging food is such a pain. It could be so much better easier to log (seems like a lot of steps to get to the logging part and isn’t that an important piece of this app?) and then the nutrition information is often wrong. I initially liked that it had so many foods already in its database, but I find I have to check the info to the food packages and it’s often wrong, so then I have to input it separately or find a way to change my portion in the app to correctly log the calories I consumed. This is really annoying and a huge disappointment. I’ve used other apps like Lose It which seemed more accurate overall. Wish their databases could be updated. I contacted them once and they said that the info was wrong because the manufacturer changed their portion size since their last update. I can’t imagine almost everything in my house has been changed since their last update- get it together please! Wanted to add that logging food is a tedious process. Would be nice to have faster ways to log and it to be a bit cleaner of a process. Since the tracking is important for me I’ll be going back to the Lose It app as their logging is so much easier. Noom- you are on to something great, but seriously get correct nutrition info and make logging for a lot easier!

Really disappointing engagement & features. I was really excited to try Noom, but that excitement was quickly dashed. The features are pretty poor compared to other apps. For instance, MyFitnessPal has a far better calorie/food tracking function, even under their free plan. I cook all the time and it’s not possibly to make and store recipes ahead of time. You also can’t plan a day ahead. I’ve had to turn to myfitnesspal to plan my caloric intake for the next day, for instance. But what was really disappointing was the engagement with the “1:1” coach. I recognize that this isn’t a quick exchange program where you have a running convo with your coach, but I did expect them to a.) read what you write in the chat, and b.) offer at least some response when you immediately respond. I asked about the 1:1 coaching in the group chat, and I was provided with three totally unrelated responses (so boiler plate that they must send). Then I finally got a 1:1 “coach” and they asked a question about my deeper goals. That’s a fairly hefty Q to get your journey started, and I immediately responded. 24 hours later and it’s still radio silence. Checked w customer service to see if that’s how it is, and they basically confirmed that a back and forth convo takes about 48 hours. That’s ridiculous. It’s one thing to be available for a full convo 10 mins every few days, but it’s another to have them ghost you immediately after their initial engagement and being told that normal.

A work in progress!. I’ve been using Noom since an introductory offer on April 23. I decided to catch my weight gain before it got out of control so I only have 8 lbs to lose but I was not succeeding on my own. Thought it was pricey but decided it would only cost more if I waited until I had 15 or 20 lbs to lose. I like the program and the fact that the daily messages (about 10 min worth of reading) are teaching me about the why of weight issues and how best to work with your own internal messaging. I like the group contact but my coach has pretty much been absent. She checks in maybe once a week so she isn’t available when I’m having a bad time. That is disappointing but the group is there so that helps tho the response is not always immediate when I need a boost most. That said, I never had that AT ALL in other programs. It can tedious to log all food I eat on the app but it is working. It has helped me see what gets me in trouble the most (mindless eating in front of a screen). Controlling that habit is a work in progress. Overall, I am so glad I found this. I can choose the calorie amount to eat and I have lost 5 pounds. I chose 1400 calories a day as opposed to the 1200 recommended. Slower this way but more realistic and less painful. I definitely recommend giving this program a try.

It’s a great support system. I have been using Noom for about two months. Having the support both from the articles in the app and the group chat have definitely helped me. I went in with about 50 pounds to lose to get to a healthy weight, and I needed an easy, nonjudgemental place to start. Currently I’m down about 24 pounds, feeling great. The app offers me support and gives me someone to talk to about my struggles that people in my everyday life just don’t understand. It’s somewhat customizable, I wanted to lose weight quicker, so I might have a different “calorie budget” than others. The app didn’t really tell me anything I didn’t know about weight loss. If you think you can lower your calorie consumption and exercise regularly on your own, then you might not need this. But for me it’s important to have daily reminders and tips on the psychology behind weight loss. My criticism would be on the payment plan. The app charges you four months all at once after the free trial. At $44 a month, it’s a big chunk of cash for a broke college student like me. I would have preferred to pay by month to lessen the load. I found myself using a lot of the features from the app at first, but now I think I have the hang of it. I would have tried a period of time without the app to continue weight loss but the money has already been spent.

Really like this program!!. I am really enjoying this program! I do believe (after 4 weeks of putting this into practice) that I am on the way to changing my eating habits. The science of what we eat, why we eat, when we eat, how we eat is put into easy to read (and easily digested 😉) short articles. There is online group support as well as an individual goal coach. You are challenged to try something new, whether it be a form of exercise, a new food, or mostly, the way you think about food. Logging your food is easy and informative. Calories are counted but the major focus is on what fuels your body and leaves you satisfied. Noom synchs with my Fitbit and counts my steps. I would have given it a 5, but there are a few things that could be improved a little (had trouble at first with synching my Fitbit, group “threads” are sometimes hard to follow - probably more to do with us not understanding exactly how a thread works - the ability to copy and paste a recipe from another site to determine how this enters into the food log. I have lost about 8 of the 30 pounds I plan to lose. I list this benefit last because, even though my original goal was to lose weight, I think the greatest benefit is how it has changed my thinking and eating.

Scam interactions, broken calorie counter, lousy curriculum. It is hard to understate how cloying, juvenile, and patronizing the writing in Noom’s program is. If you have a rudimentary knowledge of nutrition and the slightest bit of self esteem, there is not much here worth paying money for. The personalized “coaches” are something between an AI chat bot and an intern copy pasting prewritten content - like talking to a pull string doll. The groups are dull. The daily hectoring to read the insipid curriculum or weigh in is just a hassle to boost metrics. The calorie counter was pretty slick, until they broke it on Thanksgiving week 2021, and it now completely ignores exercise calories from Apple Health. The database is no better than the competition - user-built and full of errors. The weight graph is nice, but Apple Health does that, and it doesn’t taunt you with unrealistic (and unhealthy) projections. I lost 55 lbs during my year-long stint with the app, but it wasn’t because of any particular Noom magic. Any calorie counting app can do this for you without treating you like a none-too-bright child. I am now in a post-program maintenance phase, and the app keeps harassing me to sign up for another stint. It’s has also started performing extremely poorly, taking forever to load or acknowledge input. I’ve stayed with the app out of habit and inertia, but it’s time to move on.

Best ever!. When I first signed up for Noom I thought well if nothing else I can get my money back. But I love it! I am in week 5 and down 14 lbs. I have crohns so it is really hard to stick to a healthy diet. I can’t eat whole grains. But Noom has taught me that I can eat what works for me. I found a good white bread with less calories. The reading each day was helpful because it is broke down to small bites to mentally digest! Then they will go over it again to make sure you understand. My goal specialist is great. I was having a craving for peanut butter cup. She told me to have it but I needed to find a away to do it while staying in my calorie budget. It took me a couple days but by planning for my special treat I made it work. She also checked back to see if it worked. Then she told me don’t label a food as I can never have it to I can have it however I gotta make it work in budget. Also they have a different way of looking at your food. My group is a very active group sharing our daily goals. I love Noom and had people ask what I am doing. I smile and tell them I am a noomer! Then I explain it. It hasn’t just changed my eating lifestyle but I feel my whole body, mind and soul changing. I don’t hurt as much. I now go to the gym. I am no longer a slug when I get home from work. Thank you Noom nerds, your the best!

Overall great program until you stop paying. I paid for a 6 month subscription and lost 30 pounds. It taught me how I should be eating to get to my preferred weight. The group coach and guide were marginally helpful to me; I don’t really like a whole lot of rah rah stuff. The daily lessons were mostly very helpful; most of it is geared towards people who work full time and have lots going on. I would love to see more help for those of us who are home more often. My problem is not grazing in the break room. I would have given 5 stars up until this morning. I did not renew my subscription last month because the lessons had become too time consuming, too much writing. I wasn’t doing any of it and thought why keep paying for something I’m not doing. I was told I would have access to all my previous lessons (yes, but only if I tapped back 200 times). Ultimately, all the material that I paid for was essentially gone. Yesterday, I naively installed the latest update and it erased my progress. What is the point in making us proud of our progress if you take it away? Support was a joke. This morning made me feel like giving them one star, but I have lost 30 pounds. Great for that but don’t trust them not to pull the rug out from under you.

Idea is great, content is childish. The idea of Noom is good, but the practice was not all there for me. They say to spend ~10 minutes a day, which is accurate, but they didn’t verify the content was quite childish. They used multiple hashtags for silly things that annoyed me more than taught me. My biggest issues with Noom are the Coach & Food tracking. The coach only spoke to me MAYBE 1 time 5 day’s a week. It didn’t seem like she was interested in getting to know, but instead bringing up how I can handle quarantine/covid/etc. If she asked more sincere questions vs prompted questions, then she would have know I did not have any problems in quarantine as an introvert. The food tracking did not teach you about nutrition AT ALL but instead just calorie counting. They sorted foods into red, yellow, and green based off caloric density, but that did not teach you the macros of each food. They also ask you to step on the scale daily. I was miserable each day stepping in the scale - losing a pound, gaining two back, etc. It took me two months before I brought up with my coach I didn’t want to do this everyday because I felt it was making a negative impact on my. She said it was fine and a lot of Noomers do that.. but it wasn’t even provided to me as an option. Overall, I think it really can work for some people, but based off the price, I would recommend My Fitness Pal.. it’s way cheaper, has more options on food, and doesn’t have the stupid coach.

Buggy App. I should be on day 3 of my free trial, and I was loving Noom except for one thing: the app was working on my iPad but not my phone, which made food logging inconvenient. Still, the information was riveting and the interface was fun. I’d even begun to lose a pound or two. When I contacted tech-support, they said that there was a bug with the app and they were working to fix the problem. They also said I would get an email when it was done. This worked fine until a few hours later when the app stopped working on my iPad. That was last night. It’s morning, I’d like to enter my weight, and start tracking my water intake as well as my food, but I can’t because the app won’t work on my iPad or my iPhone. I did all of the troubleshooting tips on Noom’s webpage so this isn’t something simple. Hopefully, it is a bug that will be resolved quickly, but it’s frustrating to be shut out of a product that I actually like for an unspecified amount of time while I decide whether or not to pay for it. If the company would send an email apologizing for the bug and informing users of the problem, I’d feel less unsure about what to do now. It’s that lack of transparency and courtesy that’s unsettling. It makes me wonder if I had paid for the subscription, and it stopped working, whether or not I could recover my money. With a service that puts psychology at the front of its marketing strategy, I think dealing with customer concerns like this should also be as important.

Not for me. I have been trying Noom for over two months and have lost a mere 3 pounds even though I log all my foods and stay within my daily alloyed caloric intake, engage with my group etc. they claim that there are no “good” or “bad” foods. However they have green, yellow and red foods. Which are basically a new label for “good” and “bad”. The lingo is geared to millennials (I’m GenX- a natural skeptic). Their “psychology” is very sophomoric and didn’t work for me. I try to live a more ketogenic diet and this means too many red foods. They do have some cute lessons that did make me pause about what my triggers were, the type of eating I do emotionally, but I just found myself looking at the screen and saying, “Tell me something I don’t know”. And finally, this week the lessons wouldn’t open for me on the app and I received little help from the Noom group besides suggestions to update the app. Which I did, to no avail. Still can’t read the lesson. Speaking of the group, there are a variety of people in my group and I found most to be novices. They were excited if they passed up a fast food joint. I haven’t had fast food in ages. I could’ve just food journaled on my fitness pal or my Fitbit. Overall, this is a cookie cutter waste of my money. I’m feeling triggered LOL. It may work for those who have no knowledge of fitness and diet- but I kept waiting for prolific advice and found it simplistic and unsuccessful for me. Back to Keto and My Fitness Pal.

Discouraging. I was so excited to start my weight loss journey. Told my work that I wanted to try this new adventure and that I needed about 30 minutes to an hour to make my first appointment. I waited in the waiting room for my appointment, it was at 5:40, I got there at 5:32 . I did my microphone check and video check before it was even my appointment. I waited until 5:48 for her to connect. Once she did connect I couldn’t hear her. She messaged me I needed to make sure that my phone was on speaker. I checked all of my volume settings. As I went to go back to the page, I accidentally disconnected the call. I immediately logged back into the call to find that she was off-line. I kept refreshing my emails hoping I would get a response or a new invite, nothing. I messaged into support.I let them know of the technical difficulties and wanted to know if I was still being charged for the co-pay for the appointment because of everything that had just occurred. They then proceeded to tell me that I would be receiving an email addressing all of my concerns. I was really excited to see if this system would work for me. I feel like if they had the appointment directly through the app (instead of an email link) it would make communicating to future noomers easier . Maybe the provider wasn’t given the proper information to make contact with me to continue the appointment.

A life changer, no exaggeration!. Let me start by saying I have done weight watchers more times than I can count, at one point losing over 100 pounds...only to gain it ALL back plus more. So you know that 1) I have a lot of weight to lose & 2) I felt like I knew everything there was to know about why I was so overweight & what I needed to do, just wasn’t doing it. Well I was in for a trip to school! I have been with noom (actively doing the reading, sharing with my group, logging meals & weighing in, etc) for about 2 1/2 months now & have lost 11 pounds. While that’s not a speedy weight loss, it’s a safe one & one that I truly feel is going to last. I feel so in control in all areas of my life, not just food choices. Noom has literally changed my life for the better. And I sincerely feel like these are changes that are permanent, embedded in my thinking, reacting & feeling about life, personal relationships, food, activity, everything. I am constantly challenged, driven & inspired by my coaches & my group members. I had no idea that it would be possible for this 51 yr old know-it-all to be so impacted by an app. I cannot say enough how much I love this program. I highly recommend it, and if you try it, really lean into it. If you give Noom a true chance, it will be worth it. And might even change your life!

Great concept but application needs work. I really like noom and have been using it for almost a month. The psychology behind eating is very informative and important. But I can’t give the app more than 3 stars because it drives me nuts that the food log is not super user friendly or efficient. It needs the ability to copy meals from one day to the next and then be able to adjust the portions. I know I can make a “recipe” for the foods but I want the ability to quickly adjust the portion sizes of individual items so that if I can stay within my calorie budget if my other foods changed from the day before. I wish there were more fraction options, too... not all foods will be measured in perfect quarters, what about adding 1/3 and 2/3?!? Also, when adding a new food to the app, when you go in to add the extra information (protein, carbs, etc.), once the keyboard is up on the iPhone, you can’t scroll down to input the bottom half of the screen’s information and you also can’t get the keyboard to go away. Additionally, sometimes when you scan a food, the correct food pops up but the information isn’t correct (ex. it lists 100 calories but it’s actually 90 on the food label). There’s nowhere to adjust that and/or report it. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE ADD THESE FEATURES/MAKE THESE CHANGES (similar to MyFitnessPal or Carb Manager) and then this will be the best! TIA!!

Do It!. I’ve tried a lot of weight loss programs and a lot of apps to lose weight. Nothing worked. But Noom is in a class by itself. You are not just thrown to the wolves and left to your own devices after you download the app. A friend recommended it and I told myself to commit to it and lose the excuses. It essentially puts it all together and fills in the shortcomings of all those other programs & apps. You will have a Coach and support of others in the same journey along the way. These people at Noom put in the time to get it right for everyone. I needed the psychological understanding of why I gained weight as well as daily instruction on new life habits and how to make them stick. In 20 days I’ve lost 16 pounds and can see my goal for the first time in my future. I haven’t even begun to exercise yet. And, trust me, that “daily instruction” is max 15 minutes on the app. I’ve made it my routine to log my morning weigh in, make a coffee, & read my daily Noom articles. It is laid out in small bites and they walk you through an understanding of how your body & brain work and achievable nutrition goals (nothing is “forbidden”) to get you on your way. I will reach my goal. And, I’ve been jokingly saying, if I don’t this will be the first time I know why and have no excuses. But I will not fail. And neither will you.

Rating would be higher if..... I debated for several weeks on whether to give this a go. I honestly need more mindset help than anything else so I am enjoying the daily mindset work and the overall content. I am, however, completely disappointed in the food logging piece of this app and since it really is a very important component, it should be a priority in app development. It’s one of the the worst food logging apps I’ve come across. The database is very small, the options for logging are limited (I.e. you can only log portions in 1/4 increments - no option for 1/3’s) and you can’t easily switch from, let’s say breakfast to lunch. You have to complete your entry in one meal, go all the way back out to the home screen, reaccess the log and choose whatever meal you need to change or add to. Noom could greatly enhance their product and overall user experience by integrating with other, more robust food logging apps like My Fitness Pal, or even integrating with the food logging app in Fitbit or other fitness devices. Noom also touts red, yellow and green foods, but I haven’t found any actual lists yet. Maybe I can access them on the website, but the app is my go to. It would make meal and snack planning much easier. The rating for this app would be higher if the food logging portion was more robust and user friendly and if I could easily access food lists from the app.

When you are ready to change your life... start here. I’ve tried everything to lose weight short of surgery,having my mouth wired shut, or a tapeworm. I was honestly checking into surgery when a friend of mine said “try Noom”. I said no. I told her I was tried of stuff ... A month had passed and I saw her again...Again she said “try Noom”. My answer ...no. Late one night I turned on my tv and there was Noom. Be careful what you pray for lol. So, I got on the app. They asked A LOT of questions, I answered as truthfully as possible and I’m not gonna lie it was causing a bit of anxiety ... thinking I was going to have to change, no more eating out “normally” no more cup cakes (my favorites ) so many no’s in exchange for a smaller dress size. Was it worth it? Could I do it??? Now that I’m doing it I’ve come to learn those are the lies that hold us back, that keep us from the freedom we (those of us who struggle) deeply crave. The information , the personal help, the group chat, achieving a small goals is exciting. Other things have been happening... I’m happier I do have more energy my skin looks better and I’ve actually saved money !!! That’s right and a lot of it by not eating out or grabbing on the go. If you’re ready and like they say you believe that you can then try Noom. You won’t be sorry😉

Tried to love it. Uninstalled.. First, I’ll state the positive. They have great recipe ideas and I love the use of tracking via caloric density. Okay, what annoyed me. First, scanning is terrible. It is blurry on an iPhone 13 Pro Max when trying to scan. Compared to other apps and it was definitely not my camera. Second, I was offered a deal “after” I signed up for the free trial. Third, I attempted to use the deal after already setting up my trial, but at the end of the process I was guilt tripped into giving a donation. I was told it cost 10 dollars to give me the deal and was asked to donate. I’m okay with this, but it makes more sense to say “here is a deal for a donation amount of your choice” so I’m not hit with it at the end of the process. Fourthly, the interface is just odd. Logging stuff and checking already logged stuff is too many button inputs. The Analysis button is in a very weird place. If you want to analyze your red, yellow or green food progress. Fifth, some foods were not accurate. Why is white rice less calories per cup than brown rice, but the white rice is flagged as yellow? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I say this to help improve the product not to be mean. Hope this stuff is helpful. For the UI stuff, development team should learn some iOS design concepts. Hitting a little x, versus swiping to delete is not as fluid. Should take more advantage of some of the existing Apple capabilities in Xcode.

Meal guide needs major improvements.. Noom is good. I am having success with losing unwanted weight. However, I purchased the meal guide and it really needs some work. I asked for a refund after the first meal plan they sent me. 30-45 minute preparations, no grocery lists, too many ingredients that don’t align well with other recipes in the week. It’s not realistic to think people right now are legitimately going to purchase this much food and prepare multiple meals every day that take at least 30+ in the kitchen. And my kids aren’t going to eat salmon patties. The meal plan also doesn’t align with the in app advice on budgeting calories. New Noomers: Skip the meal plan purchase especially if you are a busy mom with kids. Build a meal plan that includes two protein shake recipes you love and can rotate back and forth on so you aren’t buying $200 worth on ingredients each week and spending hours prepping food that only you are eating. Noom: Minimally, add the ability for the meal plan to auto generate a grocery list and it’d be great if clients could input a grocery budget that the meal plan is constrained to. Allow the meal plan to teach people to meal prep 2 lunch options before the work week starts. A weeks plan should resume ingredients you are asking people to purchase instead of mostly new ingredients for each recipe.

Took the plunge. I had lost weight before and thought I knew how to do it, having gained it all back again. I kept at my previous menu, not realizing that it was written for the Me I was when I was doing all the workouts and needed to maintain the weight I was at. So wouldn’t you know, the scale would never say anything different and I just thought it might be the age playing into my non-budging scale. I half-assedly got on Noom and it did seem pricey at first but you have to realize that it is to keep you accountable. And I needed someone to keep me accountable. The texts are written in a fun, upbeat manner, with a lot of challenges and pop quizzes #NoomNerdslovepopquizzes) and there is a forum for a small group of other Noom participants to share on. Some people are definitely not comfortable doing it because I only see a handful of people who write in the forum all the time. But when people share, it seems to really have an impact. My personal story is a little heavy (pun intended) and people started to share and really get deep. It was a bit cathartic. There is also someone assigned to you who personally takes you through your journey and checks in weekly. At the end of the day, you are investing in yourself so you can decide if you and your health are worth it.

New features could help, but I love it!. I think after the first day alone, I’m already learning more about different ways calories can be presented and learning to pick better foods for making me feel full! I can confidently say I always just had people tell me to count them, and thought “60 calories was 60 calories.” I’m glad Noom tackles this myth day one. I think my mindset will be better going forward. I think another feature that could make it stand out would be water tracking, specifically adding water intake for foods heavy with it (like watermelon) and letting us know how much extra to drink if we’ve had high sodium. That’s so hard for me to consider, because I never really thought about my sodium intake to water ratio before. With the ability to add custom nutrition info to the app (and the wealth of uploaded items it already has) I think it would be pretty doable to create a system that says “you’ve had __ mg of sodium today, you need to drink __ oz / mL of water to balance it out.” I personally would love to be able to track my water and sodium relationship in Noom, but the app is already well worth it without this feature. Having a history of diabetes and heart disease, it’s important for me (and many others) to learn about how water and salt interact in my body. Thanks for listening Noom!
