Leave a Review Slimming World
My little pocket bestie
I absolutely love the SW app! I’m on the go as most moms and dads are, the barcode scan feature is wonderful, I’ve used it for lunch on the go and dodged the heavily synned items (some I thought were “good” for me) I’ve also forgot my shopping list before, but as I’d bookmarked the recipes online for the week, I was able to access those on the go too. I’m also a big kid and love my shiny sticker and certificates in group,, so having them on display when I open the app is always something that makes me smile. Tracking my movement is so easy too, the new watch step feature is great. When I’m out and about and have 5 reading the success stories is always a great motivation. So all in all I think it’s awesome!Show lessLora16

Hi there, thanks so much for taking the time to leave your lovely review, it really is appreciated. I'm so pleased to hear you're loving the app and finding it so useful! I'm wishing you all the best on your journey. Ellie xInvaluable app to really support SW plan
I love this app. So much content from a huge recipe bank, members stories of their weight loss, exercise routines to suit all regardless of ability or mobility, recording your weight loss, your weekly goals and feelings on you week plus an ever increasing data base of food to assist you to know what you can have on plan, whether a free food or synned. Brilliant when at the supermarket because it has barcode scanner, so if the item is on the data base you will see the information associated with that whether it is syns, HXA/B or a free food.
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.Show lessTradingbubble

Hi there, We're so glad you're enjoying the app as much as we do - Thank you so much for taking the time to leave your lovely 5* review. Best wishes, Emily xAustralia
Not great to use in Australia, same price as
Uk but doesn’t recognise most Australian foods. Very time consuming having to manually add all the nutritional values.lokmns e

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 xKudos for a fantastic online weight loss experience!
I’m in the US, and I just finished my third week, with a total cumulative loss of 7 lbs, which I’m very happy with. I turned 66 this year, and with every year it’s been harder and harder to lose those pounds.
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!Show lessWitty2lose

Hi there, thanks so much for taking the time to leave us your fabulous 5* review. I'm so pleased you're finding the app so useful and it certainly sounds like you're motivated and ready to reach your goal!

I have been with u for some years and maintained my target for sometime. I don’t know the exact figures unless I make contact with Slimming World Helpline.
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.Show lessBarbara Dickson

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 xIt’s good but always room for improvement!
Hi, I like this app but think SW could make a few improvements…
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.

Hi Kimberley, thank you so much for your fabulous 5 star review! I'm so pleased you're really loving the SW app and I'll be sure to pass all of your lovely comments on😊. Have a lovely day, Lorna xGood but could be improved to make it more user friendly
Would be good to have the option to specific, for instance, one hifi bar rather than having to add a minimum of two for your B. For other food groups, which do not fall into the A or B category, you can specify a quantity lower than one. However, bigger problem is now the app itself. Installed on Wednesday, created account and added membership number etc to monitor activity. However, today, the app logged me out. No problem I’m thinking, logged back in to my account and used my membership number and pin but then the app tells me ‘Card is already registered to this user’. So, no access to the app for the moment, even after uninstalling and reinstalling.
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.Show lessDan111e111

I love the Slimmers World app it is amazing it’s really help me to keep on top of what I eat. It’s easy access to everything that I need.
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 APPShow lessFillymace

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 xI wouldn’t be without it
This fantastic app is the reason I will stay with Slimming World forever! It is so easy to search for or scan foods to find out their syn values or to use the syns estimator if what you want isn’t listed yet. Logging daily food/drink/activity is a doddle and you can access dozens of recipe ideas and even get support from and offer support to other members... all of which is keeping me motivated and on track after a whole year of being on the plan. I have lost just over 6 stone so far and should reach target mid April - slow and steady is my secret.
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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Show lessLittle Enid
