Great idea, needs a lot of work
When I first started using the app it was very easy to use and understand. Now that I’ve used it for over a month it is becoming very clunky and it seems to me it would be very easy to fix a number of the things that make it just slow to use. I also get very frustrated with trying to find a food item that I added yesterday and can’t find it anywhere in the recent food item list. Bottom line, I’m just really frustrated with this app. I looked on the website to try to at least give some feedback to the developers, or talk to someone in tech-support, not a sales rep type person, to give them some thoughts on this. There is no way to do that on the website.
Also, currently, this is September 2024, there is a huge issue with the app when it comes to entering a flex meal. It is totally messed up right now and it has been for a long time. Bottom line on this, I don’t trust the app to do what it says it’s supposed to do. The app has a lot of potential to be a great app. Please find a way, other than writing a review, to offer feedback.

Lacks A LOT
I keep reading reviews on this app, and it appears very few improvements have been made to make it better. I get extremely frustrated when trying to find food that is NOT nutrisystem. I’m really disappointed in how tedious it is to log food and to navigate within the app. I’ve had “free apps” that were more user friendly, easier to find the food categories and had so much more capability. -When you scan a food, it should automatically tell the food category for you; ie. blueberries should automatically come up as a Smart Carb, but no, you have to categorize it yourself. -It should also give you the total of calories for each meal rather than mentally adding/subtracting from daily amount. -When going to the “News Feed”, it just cycles through the same articles and I really struggle to find the article or tip that was initially suggested. -Basically the price you pay for this program is for the food NOT the quality of the app. Don’t get me wrong, logging has been important and beneficial, but it should have easier and quicker access to information.

Works for me !
I have been using Numi for 13 weeks now and have lost 41 pounds !
It was a little confusing at first using Nutri System foods and figuring out what foods to add in the Numi Ap. Maybe a little more direction when starting would have helped. I didn’t get the pamphlet with my first order and chatted with a rep on how it works. She was very helpful and sent one out to me and told me how to find the guides in the apps.
It is also very helpful to change my food list on the next order so I didn’t get some food that didn’t work for me and to get more of my favorites items. So I really look forward to my next meals and add in vegetables when preparing them.
I am eating a lot more now with the AM and PM snacks and having salads with my dinners. Adding power fuels to lunches and dinners is also a plus !
I having been consecutively losing 2-3 pounds every week and plan to stick with it until I reach my goal weight (losing 75 pounds) in time for my sons wedding in 2 months !

Good, but…
The app is very good at tracking NutriSystem meals and basic foods. My biggest issue with the app is the tracking of recipies or meals that are not NutriSystem. If I make a balsamic chicken it would be great if I could just enter in all the ingredients as a recipe and then add the recipe. Then the app would classify the ingredients individually. I have seen this on other apps that I’ve used.
My next complaint is that the iPad app only shows in Portrait mode. Right now I am trying to type this review in the app on my iPad, but if I want to use my external keyboard, my iPad is Landscape, so I am typing while trying to read sideways because the app does not flip to landscope. This makes searching for and tracking foods on the iPad app very frustrating since I can’t use my keyboard.
also, whenever I pull up an article from leaf, it seems like it never fully loads. I always have a little logo in the center of my screen saying that it’s still loading. Even after five minutes or more it still seems to be there. i’ve tried on both my phone and my iPad at home and at work and it doesn’t seem to matter.
Finally, it is also very frustrating that the app doesn’t seem to “remember” past classifications of foods. If I enter a food “Meijer grilled chicken” as a PF one time, it remembers the food but not the classification.

Disappointed
Not user friendly enough for me. I purchased 55 plus and the food arrived in two shipments a week and a half apart. I received the lists of foods provided but no daily menus leaving me confused and frustrated.
I called and was on hold for way too long! Then was emailed a link for NuMi which was somewhat helpful. When you have to log in your own vegetables it’s totally confusing…do this do that pick a category then after that I’m lost!
I was on Jenny Craig years ago and was given a daily menu to follow with the provided food and was VERY successful. At 70 yrs old I want a program with no guess work.
I received food products damaged, opened not sealed properly and cracked frozen food trays and no mention of replacement even when telling customer service on the phone their comment was oh sorry about that. For $450 monthly and that was their 50 percent off I cancelled before my second shipment and promptly got confirmation with a substantial offer of $199.
If this program becomes more user friendly for me and more affordable I’d order again.

It could be easier
I like that all the Nutrisystem meals are loaded in and I can easily select them, but if I’m eating something that is not a Nutrisystem meal, it’s much more complicated. I use another app as well as this one because it is so much easier to log anything that I eat goes into the frequently used list that I can easily draw from. When I put something in NuMi, it brings up restaurant foods I don’t eat restaurant food very often mostly I eat home cooked meals. It’s much more difficult to find those things on the NuMi app. The other app that I use has Nutrisystem meals for me to select. but where it keeps my recently used food on file it only takes me about 10 seconds to select the items for a meal. However, on Nutrisystem, I feel it takes me five minutes to get all the things in there because they don’t keep my frequently used items.
However I like that it gives tips and recipes in the leaf portion. I also like that I can log one of the recipes straight from the app that makes it much easier.

It WORKS!
Not only does it work ( I’ve lost weight)!!… it was EASY! I was convinced that nothing would get the weight off me at “elderly” age; my pounds and I have been together for a very long time!! BUT… I’ve consistently dropped those pounds and NEVER felt deprived. Tracking in journal is an important piece to retrain myself in portion control as well as awareness of what I’m putting into my body! I’ve been doing “flex” from the beginning and increasingly doing my own meals; about 50% so I’m ready to “maintain”! Everything about this has been easy/sustainable! I’ve recommended several friends and family to use Nutrisystem to gain control of out of control/unhealthy eating habits: most have elected to start using the system. Reasonably priced; tasty foods I like; simple instructions; friendly and helpful “chats” or even “real person to person” conversations! Yep! At all levels, this works for me!!! Thank you!!
