Invaluable app to really support SW plan
It really helps me keep on track, especially with the activity videos which you can choose and do when feeling energetic - you can also bookmark your favourites so they are at the top of the list ready for action, to save you trawling through to find it.
They seem to have thought of everything.

Australia
Uk but doesn’t recognise most Australian foods. Very time consuming having to manually add all the nutritional values.

Hi there, thanks so much for your honest feedback and I can understand why the scanner would be a useful addition to the app. At the moment it does pick up UK brands. The good news is, the Syns estimator will save to "My foods" so you don't need to add them all in each time. I’ll certainly pass your feedback on. Have a lovely day, Emily B x
Kudos for a fantastic online weight loss experience!
I really enjoy the online experience. I’m learning more and more each day, as I delve into the website. It’s almost as if I have a personal trainer, without ever leaving the house! The daily events are fun & motivating, and along with the ability to enter my food, look up foods or alternative ones, the podcasts, the daily recording of my meals, SW has become my favorite app, keeping my interest in my ultimate goal.
I also subscribed to the magazine, through the SW Magazine App, and reading them also keeps me focused. It’s becoming obvious to me that, along with the program, I need to eat less and be more active, if I’m to reach my eventual goal, from 13 stone down to 9 stone. I know I can do it, if I stay focused. I have not been this excited about losing weight in many years. I realize it’s early days, but I feel confident this is how I will finally lose this burden I’ve been carrying for such a long time.
I notice there’s another app, SW Bookreader, for blind members. Because I’m overseas and do not have access to groups or easily able to purchase books, it would be nice to have an app where your books could be viewed online too, perhaps through this app. Your books are great and very reasonably priced, and I have a few from my last visit to the UK that I found in a charity shop, but with ever increasing postal and customs’ fees added, it makes them not as cost effective. It’s just a thought.
Thank you Slimming World!

I have enjoyed every minute of the Slimming world and continue to learn so many things. The attendance of group is essential for you on bad days and to celebrate your successes. It is the best support ever to have someone to understand the difficulties of weight loss, food optimising & body Magic to improve wellbeing. The other most important factor is the group coordinator with their experience, enthusiasm and skills within the groups are crucial for promoting Slimming world in the best way. I plan to promote to attend Slimming World as long as I can meet my needs as well as enjoy the experience. Congratulations to the Slimming world and the future.

Ahh, Barbara, that's lovely to read, congratulations on being one of our lovely target members to! Thank you for the amazing review and we wish you many continued years of success to. Take care Sam x
It’s good but always room for improvement!
For example:
- There are a number of ‘clicks’ before your able to access the barcode scanner. Would be helpful if there was a shortcut on the menu banner… it takes a while to navigate to it which is frustrating when shopping.
- It would be helpful if the ‘breakfast’, ‘lunch’ and ‘dinner’ sections were more clearly differentiated, ie different colours, for each section or a thick line dividing areas - as it’s not particularly easy on the eye.
- it would be helpful if you could easily copy one meal to another day, without losing all of the data already recorded within that day.
- a way to record water intake (again see other leading apps).
I know SW aren’t all about ‘the app’, it’s more about the programme, however SW need to do more to keep up with other dietary apps, such as NutraCheck - which is light years ahead in terms of technology/ease of use.
- It would also help to be able to switch to ‘Target Member’ mode, which allows you to increase no of Syns/extra Healthy Extra’s, without having to add these in manually and ‘go over’ standard Sun values!
Please do more SW as this will encourage more users - I promise!
Final point, it would be great if you could introduce an Apple Watch version. Just a pint size version which maybe showed your total Sun Count and HE’s used at the time of. He kind the app.
Thanks for reading!

Good but could be improved to make it more user friendly
Update: amended from two to four as the after speaking to tech support, the problem was an abbreviation of my first name. All sorted now.

App
I never thought this eating plan would be so easy I have lost half a stone in three weeks and it’s all down to this terrific app. I can include my foods, when I go shoppingThe scanner is really useful because I can scan everything I buy and feel confident that I’m not eating the wrong foods and I can calculate my sins quickly in the supermarket.
I love all the recipes I’ve got quite a few.
I love the slimmers world hi-fi bars but because I am dairy intolerant it would be nice to have A dairy free option.
Some more gluten-free dairy free wheat free options would be great too. I love this eating plan and I would recommend it to anybody roll on my last 9lbs to lose. If it wasn’t for the app I don’t think I will be able to follow this so easily. LOVE THE APP

Ahh this is so great to hear! I'm so please for you. Well done on your weight loss, keep going, your weight loss dreams will be yours. Thanks so much for your fab receive. Best wishes - Kerry x
I wouldn’t be without it
The only thing I would change about the app is to be able to search within the ‘My Foods’ section using the search bar - at the moment that’s not possible - you just have to do a lot of scrolling! If I could search, the app would get 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
