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? ### 5/5 — It’s working! *2019-10-20, version 2.0.6* 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 ### 5/5 — Understanding my weight loss journey *2019-07-13* 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. ### 5/5 — Can’t believe how good this app is *2019-05-02, version 2.0.2* 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! ### 5/5 — Amazing ! *2019-01-05* I am so glad I have found all the hypnosis sessions on this app they are really wonderful to relax to and change your mindset towards eating unhealthily so you don’t actually feel like you are on a diet you are just eating better naturally ! I have lost weight slowly but surely since getting this app just put your headphones and enjoy the trip into your subconscious ! The binge eating app is so good and have more to listen to thanks so much for creating these sessions and make me feel excited for the new me to evolve not only my outer appearance but how I feel inside x ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2018-08-13, version 2.0.1* This is a wonderful app, life changing!! the weight is coming off and it’s staying off! I can’t recommend it enough. You don’t need to spend a fortune there’s no fad, just mindfullness and common sense. ❤️ ### 5/5 — Excellent App *2018-06-28, version 2.0.1* Really enjoying the VFB hypnosis. It has helped me with my insomnia too. You only need to follow 4 basic principles and the sessions help to get your subconscious in board. Going to try the sugar stop next. Would recommend. ### 5/5 — Fantastic. *2018-06-28* I purchased this app a couple of months ago and it has been a life changer! I had been going to a slimming group with little success for around 12 months. My thought was this would cost me the same as a couple of weeks attendance to class so what had I got to lose? Well what I lost was the weight! The guidelines which are given are so sensible and the hypnosis tape is invaluable, I just insert earphones at bedtime and drift off listening to the soothing voice (also helps with my insomnia which was another problem). I love it, I have told several people how great I feel this app is but don’t take my word for it, try it for yourself . . . I think you will be pleasantly surprised. ### 5/5 — Amazing, life changing App *2018-06-28* This App has really changed my life and outlook on food. I’ve recently had a baby and am getting back into the ‘eat, when you’re hunger’ mindset. It’s so simple and I always know that I have this to turn to, instead of doing a crazy fad diet. Cant recommend it enough 👌👍🎉 ### 5/5 — Has changed my relationship with food *2018-06-23, version 2.0.1* 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 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. ### 5/5 — I actually love it *2018-06-20* I tried this on my Android first and really liked it. I lost 3lbs the first week. The only downside is that the purchase does not transfer between android and iOS (like some apps do), so I was paying double to have it. In the end I caved and went ahead and bought the lifetime (on my iPhone) so that I never have to worry about it again. If I switch, I’ll do the same on android. The app is THAT GOOD. Currently I’ve lost close to 10lbs in about 3 weeks. In my opinion, it’s definitely worth the money. I listen to it at night and usually fall asleep to it. One thing people should know, there are a ton of different “apps” in the one app. It’s not just one single session. There are different programs and each one has its own SET of sessions. It’s a great value. ### 5/5 — Fabulous! *2018-04-20* I love this app. The sessions are pretty much life changing. I was greatly moved with the feeling of letting go of damaging habits. It was like a veil being lifted off me and I felt feelings of control, freedom and hope like I’ve never felt before. The app design is so pretty and the voice for hypnosis is so soothing. Can’t say enough about this. Just great. I’ll be using it regularly to reinforce the feelings and for the sugar free challenges 😊 xx ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Has changed my relationship with food *2026-06-23, version 2.1.6* 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.

The app just closes after you open it 😭 ### 1/5 — Doesn’t open *2025-10-12, version 2.1.6* 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!!! ### 1/5 — No longer working *2025-09-23, version 2.1.6* Apps crashes when trying to open it ### 1/5 — Paid for but it no longer works *2025-09-15* 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? ### 1/5 — Accidental double purchase and no support *2022-05-06* 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. ### 1/5 — Fault *2019-03-07, version 2.0.2* Downloaded the app for a trial but it stuck on the subscription page. ### 1/5 — Am I being dumb? *2018-09-23, version 2.0.1* Downloaded the app. It takes you to a subscribe page on loading. 7 days free trial is mentioned. Two options to subscribe using monthly or lifetime. Neither work and no option to take up free trial? ### 1/5 — Paid a subscription that I can't receive. *2018-01-09* UPDATE: 9th January 2018. It wasn't my fault that I couldn't get content and lost what I had got by following apples advice to re-install. I'm upset to find I've been booted without warning from the subscription group AFTER the app decided to work and allow me to download the rest of the content. I tried to get into the group to tell those like me who had failed but was banned/blocked from doing so. It would appear you are only wanted if successful with no issues. I'm obviously an issue but the issues were out of my control. I never blamed the developer for these issues I blamed Apple. But it doesn't matter I'm booted out and can't be a part of them. Cold really under the circumstances and heartless. Not caring at all. I don't know what Apple are playing at. I completed my first 2 weeks and now can't download any other sessions. I tried uninstall and reinstall and lost part one. Very upset over this. I've gone from really excited to really upset. I am now paying for something I can't access. I have emailed. Was told try in the morning. Not only did I try at 6am I've tried all day. APPLE SORT YOUR MESS OUT!! ### 1/5 — Won't work... *2017-10-08* Full disclosure: I love the easyloss apps. I purchased 12 weeks to wow because I liked the idea of having them all in one place. What I didn't expect is that unlike the other apps, you need to be connected to the internet to hear the sessions, they are downloaded each time. Flight mode is not a possibility. I tried to listen tonight and it keeps saying 'error: please try later'. This is not what I had hoped for/expected and had I known it would be like this I would have happily purchased all of the apps separately, because I do enjoy them and benefit from them. So, nothing against the content, I'm just disappointed with it's limited accessibility compared to the other easyloss apps. Update: I haven't heard anything back from he publishers of this app since posting this review, despite the response below. Am I meant to email you personally? I would appreciate a refund as it was not a cheap app to purchase and it doesn't work! **Developer response:** Hi js2k84, Thanks for your update, unfortunately we have no way of contacting you directly as we don’t know who you are. If we did we would have endeavoured to make contact and resolve this issue for you. If you drop me an email to info@jamesholmes.co.uk I will do my best to help you. In the meantime can you try downloading the sessions again as no one else has reported an issue it may have just been a glitch on that day . Also once they have downloaded they are downloaded forever and you don’t need to repeat that process . Best James & Sue ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — GAME CHANGER 😍 *2022-04-01* 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. ### 5/5 — Works like magic ✨ *2022-03-19* 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!!! **Developer response:** 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! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2021-09-30* 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. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2021-03-24* 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. ### 5/5 — VGB *2021-01-09* i have just started using this and i’m loving it already . sue’s voice is so calming really easy listening . I have lost 3lb in my first week and for the first time i feel i do not want to cheat after turning 48 i am determined to look my best . I would Highly recommend this app but you have to put the hard work in too it’s not magic . best app i’ve ever purchased. **Developer response:** 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? ### 5/5 — Just watch the weight slide off *2020-09-24* 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. ### 5/5 — Give it a try *2020-09-06* 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. ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2020-07-26* 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. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2020-06-21, version 2.0.7* 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. ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2019-10-21, version 2.0.6* 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. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
