When I try to add picture, app blinks a sign that says “validating session”

### 3/5 — Pounds and inches, please!

*2020-12-16, version 6.0.9*

I don’t relate to cm and kg. Welcome to America!

### 2/5 — App not working?

*2019-12-14, version 6.0.9*

Tried reloading a couple of times. Nothing shows when opening app just says session expired?

### 2/5 — Buggy

*2019-11-23*

When trying to scroll down in the forum it will go to a sponsored ad.

### 1/5 — A Terrible Interface

*2019-06-03, version 6.0.7*

This app is utterly terrible. It is far from streamlined. It wouldn’t save my information. It’s a real mess.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2019-05-08, version 6.0.7*

I can’t even put my own information.  It keeps freezing. Bad design bad functionality

### 1/5 — Not Working

*2019-02-07*

I downloaded this app and it wouldn’t allow me to log in most of the time. Every now and then I would see content. Hoping to fix this glitch I deleted & reinstalled it. Now, it COMPLETELY will not allow me to sign in or sign up. I gave up & deleted this app. Really disappointing, because I had heard so much about it.

### 1/5 — Not working at all

*2019-02-02*

I logged in but yet there is literally nothing in the app. No forums, no posts, and nothing on my profile saves. I can’t search anything either. I refreshed and logged out and closed the app out and still nothing. I guess I will just use the web version for now. I used to love this app!

### 1/5 — Profile won’t save

*2018-11-18*

Is there a reason why my profile will not save? I’m not able to write any post or comment on post I’m assuming until my profile is complete.
Please Help

### 1/5 — Stopped Working?

*2018-11-18, version 6.0.7*

Unable to login - keeps asking my password and then nothing!

### 2/5 — Errors errors!

*2018-10-05*

It would be good if it wasn’t so glitchy. There’s constant pop up errors. It’s difficult to get anything done in the app.

### 1/5 — Ridiculous

*2018-07-17*

My review was somehow deleted. So I’ll write it again. The app use to be good but now it is horrible. And when you reach out for help no one ever responds or tries to help you so I wouldn’t download it’s awful!!

### 2/5 — Couldn’t get the app the work

*2018-06-03, version 6.0.5*

Multiple attempts to enter in my information ended up with two loading symbols showing up on my screen. The one set of information I could enter disappeared.

Much needed resource that needs a lot more bug fixing.

### 2/5 — It's ok!

*2018-03-15*

I can read a lot of info on the app, but very super hard to try & follow & figure out posts & commenting on posts, it's a bit confusing. I quit Facebook & wanted a similar bariatric support group to interact with. I guess I'm use to the Facebook set up too much.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2018-02-06, version 5.3.43*

Unable to view or post anything tried logging off. Deleting app and reloading...

### 1/5 — Couldnt even get started

*2023-06-21, version 6.0.9*

All the drop down menus to register my details are white boxes with white font so you cant see anything to pick the correct information

### 1/5 — Account

*2023-04-30*

I have an account but the app tells me I do not have an account. It would be nice to use the app and not have to google bariatric pal all the time to pull up account.

### 1/5 — Why no updates in 3 years?

*2023-01-13, version 6.0.9*

Loved this app in 2016. Subpar now.

### 1/5 — Defective App

*2022-07-06*

The app doesn’t save any information, there aren’t any drop box items on drop box answers, and my doctor doesn’t show up in app

### 1/5 — Nothing there

*2022-02-01, version 6.0.9*

So disappointing!

### 1/5 — Unable to log in

*2022-01-08*

I log in and use the website on my pc or phone with no problems, however I figured the app would be so much easier to access and check/change my subscriptions…BUT I have NEVER been able to log in using the app. I’ve deleted and reinstalled it about 5-6 times now but I’m done! Its so stupid to offer an app when you can’t even log in!!!!

### 1/5 — First time to try

*2020-07-10, version 6.0.9*

Logged into it today and there was absolutely nothing on any of the screens.  Immediately deleted this app.

### 1/5 — Needs updated

*2020-04-22*

This app is amazing but it needs software updates it glitches and doesn’t upload pics or updates profile pics. It’s horrible and need updated!

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2020-03-03*

After using my laptop to access the full website and get some good resources, I downloaded the app in order to have easy way to utilize all the information and services.  Disappointed that the app would never save anything, could not access message boards, completely useless.

### 1/5 — Can’t use

*2019-11-11, version 6.0.9*

Tried to sign up all tries to sign up with different accounts says invalid account so then I try email and that just says invalid email. Fix it.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2017-07-07*

Very useful and helpful. You're able to learn what others experience so you have an idea what to expect and support each other through the entire process. You know you are not alone in what you go through with this journey.

### 5/5 — Great support

*2017-06-14*

Never found a better support system. Thank you for this app! It's making my struggles much easier to manage!

### 5/5 — Great!!!

*2017-06-06*

I am about to undergo surgery and everyone here has either been or is going to be going through the same thing. It's great to have a network of supportive people to get information from and bounce ideas across such as recipes and the best powders ;)

### 5/5 — The best!!!

*2017-05-16, version 5.3.43*

The best app ever I love this app

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2017-05-16, version 5.3.43*

Amazing app!

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2017-05-13, version 5.3.43*

I've found a new group of supportive friends from all around the world on the same journey as mine. I'm not at home alone with my doubts,fears AND happiness (!!!),I have 100's of friends to cheer me on and be excited for me when I reach my goals at each stage of the journey.

### 5/5 — Life saver

*2017-04-28*

This app and the people on it have helped me get through this whole process! It has everything you can think of from support to recipes. Love it and use it everyday!

### 5/5 — Feel at home here......

*2017-04-26*

After my vertical sleeve surgery I felt very isolated and had many questions about how I felt, what to eat, how to get enough protein and water.  BariatricPal's forum is full of people who are all going through the same things.....some new, some experienced.  It's terrific to have a place where I can ask questions and feel supported.  Really grateful for this app!
