Still some work to do to make it easy to use regularly
This app is much improved.
A REALLY useful extra thing I’d like to see would be to be able to create your own recipes (not just your own food)- it is an absolute slog to have to input individual ingredients for recipes I use regularly. Following that it is also annoying that even recipes from new books are not on the app- I understand why (wouldn’t sell many books!)- but at least if I only had to save all the ingredients once that would be amazing.
It would be good to be able to repeat recipes and food- that way I can easily use the app as a planner without spending a day inputting things- I’m sure I’m not the only one that can eat the same breakfast and lunch several times a week?!
Also, would be good if weigh ins automatically synced and updated from group into the app.
Would love it if you could export/ print off a weeks food diary to hand into slimming world consultant/ take to health appointments/ personally review. And if there was a way to save a weeks food diary to refer back to that would be useful for if I got stuck with motivation down the line so I could see what I ate to get a good loss/ refer back to a week where I felt really satisfied and happy with what I ate.
Maybe a space for before/after pictures and measurements...?!

Slimming world app
I actually don’t like it I’m sorry, but the previous diary/planner was far more sophisticated. I like how it showed and reminded you about hea this new one doesn’t. The old one looked like the diary (from your book) told you how many free foods etc you had. It also broke items down ie if you only had half/quarter of an item it showed the syns value also the drop downs were easier.
I know it’s a work in progress but I don’t know if it’s the font or whiteness of the screen but it’s not very user friendly.
The other thing that would have been beneficial would have been to kept the diary format and link it to the consultant ie saving all those paper diaries and different people touching it. If the magazine could be digital surely the diary menu could be?
I actually loved the old app diary and if I had seen this app before rejoining I think I wouldn’t have had a countdown. Sorry

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I’m not going to rate it because I haven’t tried it out yet. BUT it was a huge turn off when I couldn’t access the whole thing because I’m in a different continent :/ I’d seen a really good review on the app, yet I can’t even try it out cause I live in the U.S. and I’m pretty much broke so- Kinda expected more. My bad..

All Promise but No Delivery
This app COULD be quite good except for 1 MAJOR flaw and also 1 very annoying flaw. The major flaw is NO BARCODE SCANNER, WW and other weight loss apps have one so why not Slimming World. Reading through the reviews it’s a VERY common complaint and you always respond with some platitudes about passing the info onto your developers and then absolutely NOTHING happens. Like most people I suspect I haven’t got time to stand in the supermarket looking up everything with your poor food search whereas a barcode scanner would make things so much quicker. If your developers are incapable of solving it may I suggest that you get some new ones because this is BADLY letting you down and making your app seem VERY POOR in comparison to others.
The other flaw I mentioned is the inability to add activity within the app we are encouraged to take exercise but if you want to add it onto the planner you have to use the desktop version of the site which is pretty pathetic really.
Get your act together Slimming World this app is just not GOOD ENOUGH 😡
Re Developer response - where did I say I was enjoying the app for the most part that’s just wishful thinking I never said that. Just the usual platitudes about passing on the need for a scanner that will just be ignored the way it always is - total waste of time.

Hi there, thanks so much for your honest feedback. I'm so pleased you're enjoying using our app for the most part and I can understand why a barcode scanner would be a useful addition to the app - I'll certainly pass your feedback on😊. Georgina
Good but could be better
I did group class a while back and lost what I needed and kept it off for a while but it crept back on over the past two years, I don’t have time to go to group, I did join online but there was a million apps to download so I cancelled, the other day I discovered it was all in one app and I could pay through apple... I’m so far loving it but would love to see the following added..
a barcode scanner, the ability to pay monthly through apple, it’s a lot to pay 3 months up front,
A finished logging button once you’ve done for the day and when a new day starts it automatically takes you to the new day when you open the app,Being able to add HEA/Bs & syns directly from the icons at the top and being able to connect Apple Watch or similar and track body magic, apart from that I’m very happy that SW is now all in one app
