### 2/5 — Eating not always just a habit

*2026-02-26, version 6.24.1*

I did ERN for 2 years and I didn’t lose a single pound.  I did everything and totally bought into the idea that eating was a habit.  I think it is  too simplistic for such a complex problem.  I lost a lot of time doing this program.  It did however help with simpler everyday habits.

### 2/5 — Not For Weight Gain :( Only Weight Loss

*2026-01-10, version 6.24.1*

I’m a little disappointed with this app as I was recommended this through my insurance company. Losing weight is not the only issue people have with food. There is a large community of people with eating disorders that WANT to eat, and are having trouble, and I was hoping this addressed both spectrums of the problem. :\

### 2/5 — Annoying, lessons don't play

*2025-09-20, version 6.23.0*

I need to open the website on the computer to play most of the lessons - the player just stays black and buttons are unresponsive. The further I progressed in lessons, the more often it happened and beyond lesson 22 I don't think anything plays. Meditations and recorded materials stop playing when the display turns off automatically and it's not allowing to play them with screen locked.

I really like Eat Right Now program but this app needs to be corrected.

### 2/5 — Distracting animations and background noises, toddler style

*2025-08-24, version 6.23.0*

The book, The Hunger Habit, is incredibly informative, but the intrusive toddler animations and sounds that clatter while Dr. Brewer is speaking continue throughout the core modules and are so distracting, it interferes with my concentration. This would be vastly improved if there was an option for listening to the voice only without background noise. Fortunately the theme week modules have no distractions. The zoom meetings were forensic when Dr. Brewer was involved and were helpful understand how to use the program effectively. Now the meetings are much more like WW meetings, supportive but not insightful in the same way. As long as Jacqui is still involved, they still have value to me.

### 4/5 — Wonderful program but a lot to do

*2024-08-16, version 6.22.2*

Probably should not have tried to start this program with so many other areas of my life being so intense and keeping me so busy. I am repeating the first four weeks because it was just too much to absorb the first time through, and I am still struggling to incorporate the techniques into my life.

### 5/5 — Loving it!

*2024-08-10, version 6.22.2*

This app may seem pricey, but I will be using the insight and tools from it for the rest of my life, and so I think it’s a bargain! My relationship to eating has changed to one of many moments of freedom and deep enjoyment of tasty food.  I’ve learned how to support myself in a kind, patient way instead of using harsh self talk to keep myself ‘in line’.  The combo of learning to observe my behavior and habit science is effective and can be applied to anything I
want to change in my life.  Way more useful than any self help book, therapy or coaching I’ve had before.

### 5/5 — Eat Right Now Changed My Life

*2024-08-01, version 6.22.2*

This program has changed my life, and I'm very grateful. 

Eat Right Now combines mindfulness, reward based learning, mobile applications, an online forum, and weekly group therapy. These tools helped me to identify, and then remedy unhelpful behaviors. 

As a result, I've lost over 75 pounds. I can now enjoy a much more active lifestyle with my family including hiking in the mountains and participating in all-day theme parks with my grandchildren.

### 5/5 — Really useful and different from other app - Give it a try!

*2024-07-31, version 6.22.2*

I am using this app since the beginning of the year.  

It helped me a lot with my anxiety and my difficult relationship with food.  

You will understand how your mind works with your eating patterns.  

The animations that was created makes it easier to understand.  It takes about 10 minutes a day to listen to it. 

There is different tools (related to mindfulness) that are easy to use and you can set reminders.  

What you will learn will also be useful for other parts of your life.  

Thanks to all the people who helped created this amazing approach.  

Merci beaucoup!
Valérie

### 5/5 — Highly Recommend!

*2024-07-25, version 6.22.0*

This app is an excellent bang for buck! Understanding the brain and habit science in the context of the modern food environment has been eye-opening. It offers rich content and tools for working with unhelpful eating habits. I love its optional online community, and weekly Zoom calls with Dr. Jud and colleagues to support learning. I highly recommend!

### 3/5 — Great idea, not so good app

*2024-07-18, version 6.22.0*

I am new here and I truly believe in the possibility of change. I am eager to start the plan but I can see some of the limitations already in my trial week. First, it seems there are bugs tu fix. Every time I pull up one of the training videos, I get stuck and I have not been able to pass from the 5th. This defeats the purpose of organizing my day around my 10-15 available for this. Second, I tried to watch the meditations and they would not open. Third, when I open the community, is hard to follow the thread of the conversations in the journals, not sure yet how to follow and in which order, I guess is not intuitive. Many of the reviews are >2 years and I am not sure if the app was updated and in that process it became slower/developed glitches or who knows… I read the book and this is a great opportunity at a low cost that’s is easily accessible everyone, including those who have health care barriers, but the app needs much improvement for it to continue working, and sadly, I am not sure if I would purchase the subscription because it already feels frustrating.

### 5/5 — Helpful

*2024-07-15, version 6.22.0*

I see how the mindfulness exercises are helpful. I look forward to achieving a better version of myself. 🥰

### 3/5 — Font is too small

*2024-07-02, version 6.22.0*

Yes I am older. But that font is too small

### 5/5 — Love it.

*2024-06-20, version 6.22.0*

Best way to help you lose weight and keep your mind on track.

### 5/5 — Wow!

*2024-04-30, version 6.21.0*

I can’t believe how effective this program is. Judd clearly understands the basis of unhealthy habits and has created a comprehensive tool backed by science to help guide you toward self-realization and control over the deeply ingrained habits that can rule your life. When I tell you I’ve done it all- I mean it- I am a professional yo-yo dieter. I even tried semiglutide- before realizing that I was just substituting one set of disordered eating habits for yet another- possibly risking my future health while doing so.  This is not another diet- in fact there’s no restriction or tracking contained in the program. It is like having a psych coach in your back pocket. One week down and I’m feeling better than ever. At first it may seem like there’s a lot to unpack- if it were a book you might want to skip to the end to see “where the diet is” but the beauty there is there’s no diet! Just follow each day, use all the tools, and you’ll see for yourself. Judd also has a book- I read that first and then decided to get the app. I’m glad I did. Trust me when I say this is not another trend.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — exclusionary

*2026-07-13, version 6.24.1*

i'm sorry but anything that charges twenty five pounds a month let alone the fact that health should be free is not worth it. you get a week free trial but they will pull you in for sure. that is just too expensive. as much as i loved the hunger habit book by dr.jud, there is a limit.

### 1/5 — Password Reset Does Nit Work

*2026-06-21*

As a subscriber, I did a password reset multiple times and still no email. I have emailed Support, I have DM’d Sharecare on Insta and sent a request online. This is a dying app that is clearly not supported and the few  people like me still have subscriptions are not helped out

**Developer response:** Hello, thank you for your review. I'm sorry about the issue you encountered. Please contact: support@goeatrightnow.com for assistance.

### 1/5 — The best module was the last one

*2026-04-20, version 6.24.1*

The riding the urge was the most on point one. It should be the first one the middle one and the last time one. It is after all the entire point of this program.  How to make it through? Is it real?  It feels real!  How can I make it through?  I could have used this one when I first started.   But I am here now and this one I listened to and I would save it to re hear many times If I knew how.  I love this app.  I really do. Thank you!

### 1/5 — Can’t use without paying

*2024-11-21, version 6.22.5*

If you want a free app, this really, isn’t it

### 1/5 — Buyer beware… Subscription Scam

*2024-11-15, version 6.22.5*

I subscribed to the premium version of this app (annual membership) using Apple Pay.  6 months before my subscription ended the app stopped recognizing my premium subscription.  I tried sending a support request and was told that they can’t do anything on their end and that I needed to hunt for a “restore purchases” link in the app.  The person providing support could not tell me where in the app this link was.   I am familiar I with “restore purchases”  concept and have  searched  the app’s menus with no success.    If you don’t mind losing your money, I recommend this app.

### 1/5 — Too bad it wouldn’t let me register

*2024-06-04, version 6.21.0*

To use the app you have to create an account. Fair enough but when I repeatedly tried it wouldn’t let me insisting I needed to “check all fields and try again.”

Hmm. All fields contained valid info so I guess I’ll try another app.

### 1/5 — Unable to cancel

*2024-04-25, version 6.21.0*

Buyers beware! This app is notorious for making it almost impossible to unsubscribe. They will charge your credit card without warning. Even though I had changed my card number, they were still able to charge my credit card. The program itself is condescending. There are other programs that are better and for free.

### 1/5 — Non-responsive

*2024-04-10, version 6.19.0*

I am glad others enjoy the app. I think it’s terribly expense decided to give it a go and I had issues with the content loading. I couldn’t get one particular video to load in the first module and couldn’t proceed past that point. Of course, this happened the first day I got billed. I tried several times over a couple days, nada. So I tried logging out and then couldn’t reset my password because CAPTCHA just sat there spinning.  I’m very disappointed and now I’ve wasted $25.

### 1/5 — Deceiving

*2024-02-13, version 6.18.0*

Sounds great in theory. but you should advertise that nothing in this app is free from the GetGo so that people who don’t have any money to sign up will not bother downloading at all. I downloaded, had to sign up and then go through this lengthy evaluation before I was told that I had to pay to continue. probably in the hopes of getting people to sign up because they’ve gone so far anyway, all it did for me was frustrate me and get me to delete it immediately.

### 1/5 — BE VERY CAREFUL

*2023-12-29, version 6.17.1*

This app continuously charges. I signed up for 6 months only - yet I keep getting charged. I think it’s cancelled yet they end up charging again and I have to go through the cancellation process again.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — I really enjoyed this

*2026-07-21, version 6.24.1*

Going into this I was like ughh I don’t know. I’m so Glad I at least tried and I enjoyed everything, and all the emotions I went through. I feel like a new person being able to recognize certain triggers and getting through them from my experience with this app.

### 5/5 — A Surprise

*2026-06-04, version 6.24.1*

When charting my weight recently I was surprised to see that I had lost 40 pounds in my three years in Eat Right Now.
I used the app and tools and journal, but didn’t diet. Maybe people will think that this is not much weight, but I know I will never gain it back and I know I will keep losing weight.

### 5/5 — Helpful and soothing

*2026-01-30, version 6.24.1*

been enjoying listening to these lectures

### 5/5 — Amazing weight loss tool and equally effective meditation app

*2025-12-10, version 6.24.0*

This program is the best I’ve ever tried for weight loss. It’s effective, and I feel better about myself than I have ever felt using another app or program. It’s strengthened my meditation practice, and I feel the effects in other habits throughout my life because mindfulness doesn’t only apply to eating and this app encourages you to look at all of your habits and patterns. It’s really wonderful. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2025-11-10, version 6.24.0*

I’m on day 10 and I feel like my entire attitude is shifting, not just towards weightloss but the little bits of mindfulness through out the day are so impactful. I love the app. I LOVE the tools on it, so so helpful! So much more than just a weightloss app

### 5/5 — SO helpful

*2025-08-29, version 6.23.0*

I have gained and lost 50+ pounds twice now, and trying to lose for the 3rd time. This app has been more helpful than anything I’ve done - successful and unsuccessful - to lose weight and more importantly, become happy and in control of my eating habits. Right combination of science and down to earth analogies to keep it fun and actionable. Could not recommend enough!!!

### 5/5 — Yay

*2025-08-25, version 6.23.0*

Wonderful and helpful. Down 2lbs in a week.

### 5/5 — Still waiting

*2024-11-15, version 6.22.5*

No scale or fit bit received as of today

### 5/5 — I am learning about MY body

*2024-08-25, version 6.22.2*

I can’t believe but I am actually figuring out how MY mind works and how it’s tied to my body. Not only in regards to food but throughout my life!! I can relate to the examples throughout the program when I thought I was the only one who would starve oneself all day and then make bad choices from 5:30-10:30. It was affecting my sleep and then I would punish my self the next day by repeating the loop. It was not working and I would just continue as I didn’t know any better! I was mean to myself and continue the punishment. This program has taught me true self love and understanding how my mind and body are connected. I have lost weight but not by counting calories, not starving myself, not restricting myself to only eating certain foods. I have lost the weight by implementing mindful habits not only when I’m eating but throughout the day. Most important being kind to myself! thank you so much! Now 55 and I have been on this roller coaster for my entire life and now I feel free and empowered. Thank you again.

### 5/5 — Remarkable

*2024-08-24, version 6.22.2*

I spent a lifetime and a good deal of willpower dieting. Inevitably I had to look for a next move. I’ve been doing Eat Right Now for close to three years. I eat reasonably, enjoy my food , am not hungry and maintain almost all the weight I lost initially on this program. An added bonus, as I found out on a visit to a cardiologist, I eat healthily without giving it a thought. Need I say more.
