Has changed my relationship with food
UPDATE June 2026: Just downloaded the app to a new phone and it doesn’t load at all, just crashes. Paid £30 for this app when I first bought it, and now none of it works. Why?
Initial review of 5 stars. I’m currently using VGB and Sugar Stop. I’ve been a serial dieter for nigh on 40 years and had the diet mentality firmly in my psyche. Been using the app for around 6 weeks now, and although it’s taking a while to break old diet habits, I’m really finding that my relationship with food is changing. I’m eating much less, and rather than thinking about food all the time, I only think about it when I feel hunger. I’m eating what I want to eat, but stopping when I’ve had enough. My husband has noticed how little I’m eating. I don’t really know how much weight I’ve lost but I can feel that my clothes are looser. And I’ve lost that sweet tooth!
The Facebook group is fab for support. I would say that this isn’t a magic bullet, especially if you’ve had the diet mentality in for a long time, but it is a life changer! If it doesn’t work for you at first, be patient and take it slowly.

Stopped working
I’ve been using this for years and listen to it every night but now it’s stopped working. The app just closes after you open it 😭
Doesn’t open
The app stopped working a couple of weeks ago, the developers will not do anything to resolve the issue other than say contact Apple. Apple say contact the developers.
Poor show Sue Peckham!!!

No longer working
Apps crashes when trying to open it
Paid for but it no longer works
I paid for this app years ago but it will no longer open, it just crashes. When you click the link for app support it takes you to a p*rn site now. There is a new version of this program it looks like, but I’d have to pay for it all over again. Why? So it will crash too?
App compatibility with iOS
The app looks great - I am still considering subscribing - except its layout on the iPhone is poor. The page headers are hidden behind iOS’s new ‘island’ which has replaced the notch and there are difficulties using menu and back options when they are so high up the screen.
There are also spelling mistakes - including a belter on one of the headers for part of the app. ‘Moving, Motivation and Runing’.
If there are basic errors like this, how careful are the developers about the content as a whole, and am I prepared to pay £30 for information and advice when even a basic spellcheck isn’t used?

Accidental double purchase and no support
Despite emailing to be added to the Facebook group, no response at all. Also, the same app is on App Store twice. Apple won’t refund an accidental double purchase from one download plus one attempt to restore purchase which resulted in the purchase of a second app with all the same content. Super unhappy at lack of support and no Facebook access despite paying full price twice. Very SCAMMY. Avoid.

GAME CHANGER 😍
I cannot rave about the app enough, this has been a lifeline for me. Having been a yo-yo dieter since I was a teenager I am now in control of food again. Food now is purely fuel and no longer controls my life. I’ve lost 2.5 stone so far and it’s coming off so nicely and more importantly easily. I cannot thank the 12w2w team enough for creating this app which has played a huge part in getting my life back on track.

Works like magic ✨
All you need to do is believe and allow the hypnosis to do its job.
I’ve tried every diet under the sun and they all had 2 things in common. 1. They made me feel bad about myself. 2. My weight would ballon as soon as I stopped restricting my food intake. With 12 weeks to wow, I decide what I eat while rebuilding my habits around food. This is a way of life and in just 2 weeks, my portion sizes are smaller, I only eat when I’m hungry and I’m not thinking about food 24/7. I’m excited for the future!!!

Thank you so much for sharing your success story with 12W2W, Lea.m.k.k It's wonderful to hear how much our app has helped you!
Amazing
I totally love this app. If you have tried everything else and the weight has come back, you really need to try this. This is normal eating and listening to your body. This is how you should be doing it. Wonderful supportive face book page too. I am losing my weight and so looking forward to the future. So many successful people, and blogs to listen to. One app where you are actually in touch with the people who started it. Come on what more could ask for.

Excellent
I downloaded this app because I saw someone’s before and after photos. I have tried several different diets some have and some haven’t worked for me.
This is totally different, so far I’ve lost over 1 stone with more to go. It’s different because I listen to the hypnosis at night and in the morning, I’m not thinking about food constantly, I’m drinking water, choosing healthy food and exercising more. There is support on Facebook too. Definitely worth it.

Thank you so much for taking the time to let us know how well you are doing with your Virtual Gastric Band app! Isn't it liberating to know that you are now developing a much healthier relationship with food? Please be sure to keep us updated with your success, won't you?
Just watch the weight slide off
I can’t possibly try to explain how this program works but work it does. You go to sleep listening to the hypnosis session and wake up refreshed and ready to start your day with less stress and full of positivity. Every week I think to myself how on earth have I lost weight again? I haven’t even tried. But subconsciously I am following the guidelines and not overeating and listening to the hypnosis. I can’t thank sue and James enough for getting me out of that ‘Diet’ mentality. Once you realise that you aren’t on a diet things just click into place. It’s like witchcraft or something. If you never want to diet again but want to lose weight download this App and see the magic happen.

Give it a try
Love love love this programme. It has totally helped me to adjust my feelings towards food and I now find it much easier to eat mindfully and to listen to my body. It seems to easy to be true but the scales are telling the true story! 1st 3lb in 6 weeks can’t be bad.
Amazing app
This app actually works, was skeptical to start with but I listen every night and especially my sweet tooth has almost gone! Nothing has helped that in the past. Cannot thank them enough for this, give it a try you won’t be disappointed.
Amazing
This App is brilliant, I’m 4 weeks inn& 12lbs down. I don’t even feel like I’m dieting & feel great. Would highly recommend.
Amazing!
12 weeks to wow really is WOW. I’ve just finished my first week and I’ve lost 3lb. It’s so simple to follow. Here’s to the next 11 weeks and a new me.
It’s working!
I’ve only been using this a few weeks and I wasn’t sure, but it’s working! Steady weight loss, straightforward, simple and sensible and the hypnosis session are so relaxing a real stress buster
Understanding my weight loss journey
I’ve managed to loose 5st over 12 months with this app. My journey has been one of understanding, self discovery and with the aid of the sessions and guidelines I have broken the habits of many, many years. The sessions are so relaxing and the guidelines are easy to follow. I can honestly say Sue and James have unlocked the potential for everyone to loose weight in these apps and understand the very core reasons and psychology behind weight gain and weight loss.

Can’t believe how good this app is
Can’t believe I am choosing fruit salad over chocolate, putting half my tea into a container for lunch the next day and desire for exercise. Absolutely love this app!
