You get a coach for the first 16 weeks but they’re managing tons of other people too so it’s not personalized at all and no accountability other than to yourself. Logging meals is so annoying & time consuming. I’d recommend other apps before this one. ### 4/5 — Good app, just 2 glitches *2026-05-15, version 5.8.10* I just wanted to report 2 problems with the app and couldn’t find where to leave the comment. Every 3 days the app will duplicate what it thinks I did for a few days. This is after I removed my watch from the devices. With my watch attached it would go back to the beginning. And duplicate each day 4-5 times with random numbers. Also, even if there are no notifications for me it still shows 2 notifications and I have to undownlad the app and redo it. This happens about every other day. ### 3/5 — Result. Good program, mediocre app *2026-04-19, version 5.8.9* The program is good. It was required by my insurance company for a weight management program There is a lot to learn about how weight loss medications work with biology, genetics and nutrition and physical activity. But nutrition and physical activity are important factors, The app is glitchy— scale was off at first, over tracking physical activity, the food entry is cumbersome. Ive used much better apps for tracking food and physical activity. We got really cool tools as participants— a scale, a fit bit. My blood work improved. I’ve lost about 9% of my body weight. I credit the meds and the program. Thanks coach Susie! ### 3/5 — Food data base glitches *2026-03-09, version 5.8.7* The food data base is not complete very little restaurant and duplicate items. When ever I choose a food it freezes I only have it because of insurance. Love the coaching and the videos ### 3/5 — Could use some updates *2026-02-15, version 5.8.7* I am using the app because of my insurance. Very slowly it is coming off. My biggest issue with the app is that I cannot input my own recipes. I try very hard to eat as many whole foods as I can. Is difficult to track my macros when I can’t put in my actual meal. ### 3/5 — Good Program, Not So Good App *2026-02-05* I only signed up with this app because my insurance company makes it a requirement for weight loss programs. The program so far is okay, if you have time to input things. The food database isn’t very large so when you try to scan something in often times, the app doesn’t recognize the product and you have to manually put it in. We have a coach that does group sessions. But the service isn’t very personalized. It’s sort of a universal weight loss program. My problem with HabitNu is the app itself. It has multiple glitches. My insurance requires at least six months of using this program in order to proceed with weight loss guidance. I actually signed up with the program last summer and was unable to use the app until January of this year. That was only after multiple emails to HabitNu customer service and my insurance company’s customer service. They reset the app and I was ready to go. My problem now is when you watch the videos it has multiple stalls, sometimes the app will close and restart on its own, some of the PDF files the coach uploads cannot be opened, and so far, I have not been able to actively participate in the group video meetings because the app freezes as soon as it connects. I even tried using the app on multiple devices. Hopefully they’ll provide an update and fix all of the glitches and issues with the app soon. ### 3/5 — Lots of features *2025-10-21, version 5.8.3* I like the macro tracking and especially the barcode scanning. I appreciate the integration with Apple products and with my scale. The app could use a little more aesthetic polish and some good entries didn't work. Hoping to continue to use this for better healthy choices. ### 2/5 — This app is trash. *2025-10-03, version 5.8.3* Sounds harsh but seriously the whole screen will freeze up. The format is terrible. The only bonus is it has pictures to confirm what you’re adding to your food diary but some of the titles don’t match the pictures. Please check out MyFitnessPal for inspiration for more user friendly and convenient ways for this app to function. Thanks! ### 2/5 — Meal Logging SO glitchy *2025-08-10, version 5.7.8* The app freezes nearly every time I try to search or scan a food. Super annoying. ### 4/5 — Amazing App *2025-06-11, version 5.7.6* This app has been such an amazing experience! The amount I have learned is phenomenal. I truly am grateful for the opportunity. I have lost 7% body fat meaning I have lost 17 pounds so far and I am aware of my portions and able to control myself and take accountability. This program has truly helped me. Thank you HabitNu!!! ### 4/5 — Nice program *2025-04-01* I like the program and app. It gives quite a few layers to touch on how you best connect. Also, the program requirements do not expect 100% on all layers - so you can really build it into a habit - not a short-term fix. I like the short videos too - they are quick, logical and informative (maybe even just to get you back on track). They do have some exercise videos but they are definitely not the strength of the program. I tried to use them and found them a bit boring (and I don’t really need a lot!). Overall, the coaching is solid and the team connections help. If I were to provide some advice, I would suggest some visual inspiration (when you login), enhance exercise video and, possibly, some added organization for recipes (filters - clean eating, Mediterranean, anti-inflammatory, etc). ### 5/5 — Painless way to get healthy *2025-01-15, version 5.7.0* User friendly app to help get on a healthier journey. Not to mention a support system in place to help along any speed bumps one encounters. The app is super easy to use and a great motivator . ### 5/5 — app review *2024-12-12, version 5.6.6* loving the app, my coach is amazing! keeping track of my steps, weight, meals & exercise all in one app makes life a little easier when going through this journey. i would totally recommend everyone to try this app ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not working *2026-06-15, version 5.8.12* It just can’t get past the stats upload page. I can’t even use it. ### 1/5 — Not useful *2026-05-29, version 5.8.12* My last review disappeared. In short, I get no interaction from the coach. App food logging is cumbersome. No real guidance for onboarding. Interface with Apple health for exercise is steps only, not workouts. Food database full of duplicates. Only here because of my health insurance. There are much better options for everything this app does. ### 1/5 — Horrible for tracking food *2026-03-10, version 5.8.7* Now that my health insurance no longer supports Kickoff, which in my opinion was a very great app and comparing this to other apps, I’ve used such as Weight Watchers this app is extremely deficient. ### 1/5 — App won’t download on iPhone *2026-01-06, version 5.8.6* This app will not download on the iPhone ### 1/5 — No more syncing *2025-09-01, version 5.8.0* Since the upgrade 6 days ago the app no longer syncs to my Apple Watch after doing several steps at troubleshooting. My data is with Apple Health, but the app no longer syncs. I reinstalled, permissions are good, powered off, everything possible. It is the app. Please fix. ### 1/5 — Scam, avoid at all cost *2025-05-09, version 5.7.5* I was looking for a weight loss program. My insurance matched me with HabitNu. I registered, used it once. The next day, my account was deactivated. It was open just long to bill my insurance. ### 1/5 — No one seems to work there *2025-03-12, version 5.7.2* No one seems to work there. I’ve contacted them to cancel my plan and can’t seem to get a hold of anyone. I found the program wasn’t helpful at all for me. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2022-06-21, version 5.0.0* We are using this through our Diabetes prevention program. It seems like it’s still in development and everyone in our group has switched to other apps for tracking. You can’t build recipes, either you have to figure out a work around or just use another app. The comment section has not likes, you can’t post pictures or videos and the links don’t work. Part of this program is building a support community and it’s really had to do that with what this app has to offer. I was suppose to have a scale delivered a month ago and still haven’t seen it. ### 1/5 — Poor customer service *2021-01-11, version 3.3.0* Very little support. Not interested in listening to your concerns. They just tell you to watch videos. ### 1/5 — Too limited & not visually accessible *2019-03-05, version 1.4.0* I signed up through employers insurance wellness program. I will just participate from my desktop. I can’t use the app on my phone bc it doesn’t accommodate the use of use large fonts. App text & data entry fields are not visible on screen, so I can’t enter the number of servings. It would be FANTASTIC if it could import my recipes & meals from MyFitnessPal (which has a more complete & easier to use database). ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great Program *2026-06-15, version 5.8.12* ★★★★★ Amazing Program That Really Works! I’ve been using HabitNu for several months, and it has truly helped me build healthier habits that I can actually stick with. The app makes it easy to track my meals, activity, and progress without feeling overwhelming. The weekly lessons are informative, motivating, and easy to follow. One of the best parts is having a coach and a supportive community that keeps you accountable and encourages you along the way. I’ve learned so much about making healthier choices, and I’ve already seen great results with my weight and overall health. If you’re looking for a program that offers guidance, motivation, and long-term lifestyle changes instead of quick fixes, I highly recommend HabitNu. 💪🏻👍🏻 ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-05-07, version 5.8.10* This app is really easy and I love the interaction with the coach and the team and the tools they give you to succeed are awesome !! ### 5/5 — Amazing App! *2026-04-21, version 5.8.9* I have been using HabitNu for a little over a year and it has been a game changer! I have been able to lose over a hundred pounds tracking my food intake and exercise. The weekly videos are excellent. Having a coach and group members to share with helps with accountability. Definitely recommend! ### 5/5 — Great program! Great coach! *2026-03-30, version 5.8.8* HbitNu helped me lose 7 percent of my body weight by helping me learn healthier ways to eat and increase my activity in a supportive way. My coach Susie was very supportive and helpful along the way. I recommend HabitNu if you want to change your habits and get healthy once and for all and stop your yo-yo dieting Habits. It is not a quick fix but rather a lifestyle program that you can stick with over time. ### 5/5 — Finally, Something That Works! *2025-04-15, version 5.7.4* Not only is this app easy to use, the insights allow me to correlate my food choices and activity with changes in my weight. I was able to make lifestyle changes that actually work for me. I’ve lost 22.4 pounds (on my own) over the last several months, and I feel great. Love the new water intake and macronutrient calculator! ### 5/5 — Great app does it all *2025-04-11* HabitNu is a really good app to try if you want to track everything in one place. You track sleep patterns, exercise, food, water, relaxation, stress and many other options all on one app on your phone or tablet. Coach Linda has been wonderful to work with. Her encouraging messages, videos, helpful ideas and online meetings have been great to keep me on the right track for my wellness goals. I received several new ideas from others in the program at her meetings. My insurance company referred me to this program and I’m very grateful for that. The free scale and free Fitbit are both nice to help keep me accountable but you have to be willing do the work. HabitNu has helped me find new ways to be active and cope with my cravings and overeating. I’m happy I chose to go with this program. ### 5/5 — Great app and lrogramto manage healthy eating habits *2025-04-01, version 5.7.4* HabitNu is a great app and program to help out you on a path to a healthy eating lifestyle. the app makes it very easy to track your calories and macro nutrients. It also integrates with your Fitbit and Withings Scales. Thus making it easy to track process and progress.

It is highly recommended. ### 5/5 — Great app to keep you on track! *2025-03-31, version 5.7.4* When trying to lose weight. It can be very difficult to stay motivated. Using this app, I was able to stay on track. Logging my food. Every day helps. Keep me honest. It was important for me to be honest with myself. When doing it. The exercise videos have been great as well. I would definitely recommend. ### 5/5 — Great App *2025-02-06, version 5.7.1* This is a great App! ### 5/5 — Helped with healthier lifestyle and increased sleep and energy levels *2025-01-25, version 5.7.1* This app aided me in changing my lifestyle with information and assigned me a supportive coach and teammates.

We even discussed mental food cravings and strategies to prevent boredom eating.
