Very happy
I’m loving using this app it’s really helped me keep track of what I’m eating and stick to my calorie allowance each day I’m on the second week of using it I lost 5lbs the first week xxx I’m now on week 7 of my second 12 week plan and I’ve lost over two stone! Thanks so much! Xxx
Great App. Could the App Tech Support Team please read the review because there is a note for them.
This App is fantastic, I've tried loads of weight loss diets over the years, this is the only one that has re-educated me and actually worked.
I kept doing the 12 Week Plans until I got to the top end of my "normal" weight range. But I want to maintain the weight loss a little further. Then when I get to the middle of my range I will hold at the mid point of my "normal" weight.
To help me with this, I still need the "calorie target" set at below the maintaining target but because I'm now in the "normal" range (albeit at the top end) the App won't allow me to enter 1900 calories as my daily target, as was the case whilst I lost the weight. Instead it just states 2500 calories to maintain my weight.
PLEASE would the App Tech Support engineers allow the calorie target setting to be adjusted? This App really is fantastic and I intend to use it far into the future but really need this setting back.
My knee joints are now ok, getting up / down stairs is easy as is getting up / down from the floor whilst gardening and the like.
Life is do much easier without be over-weight so please do this tweak to the App.
Thank You

Helpful App
This is a brilliant app and is very easy to use to find and record calories. There are also links to recipe ideas and lots of useful information about how to maintain weight loss and have an enjoyable healthy lifestyle. It’s quick to use and it gives reminders but it’s not annoying.
Articles don’t work
All good except I can’t seem to access all the useful information and articles.
Great App
A great app to check what you’re consuming, seeing where you you could save calories and it’s free to use.
WW costs so much monthly, this app compares in content but not in if not in social sharing.

Good app
Don’t usually use calories count but found this easy. Surprising how many calories there are in food and how they add up. Free app !!
Variations
Entered the data for today on this app and on myfitnesspal. Ended up with 500 on this app and 1000 on the other. That’s a difference not easily reconciled. Please make the ‘number of items’ scroll wheel work. Please ratify your data. Why is a 2 egg Spanish omelette half the calories of a plain omelette. Could do better.

So easy to use
This App is so informative and easy to use - I look forward to updating it every time I eat or drink something or am active - highly recommend it.
Fabulous tool
Needed some help after getting on the scales 😵 looked on the NHS site for advice and found many tools to help get rid of the extra blubber I’m carrying including this app. I found it easy to navigate and use. It’s made calorie counting really positive and I look forward to using the app with its extra pointers. Well done the NHS on making these tools free and easy to use.

Missing Food
The app is excellent but is missing an enormous range of foods making it difficult to calorie count.
It does not have Apple Health integration.

Motivation
Really good and helps to keep track of calorie intake .. motivates me 👍
Exceptional calorie counter
Didn’t use the app for a while as my health didn’t warrant its use but now I can use it. It’s an absolute dream to use. So easy, so simple, so good to input all my caloric intake on a daily basis. My wife uses it too religiously. Hopefully it’ll help us remain on a calorie deficit for as long as we need to lose the weight and get healthy for the long term. I couldn’t recommend it more to all that want to watch what they eat and get healthy.

NHS weight loss
This is the only way I can lose weight. It helps me see how many calories I’m putting into my body. And how much exercise I do. I’m very aware now of highly calorific foods. I’ve lost a stone. Very happy. Just got to keep it up!
Great way to track
I’ve been using this free app for over a year to help track my meals and activity. I’ve found it very useful to monitor my calorie deficit.
One suggestion - is it possible to add a notes section to jot down any thoughts or life events?

Simple. Helpful. Accessible
Easy to install understand and use. Might have wider range of foods on database, preferably with Trade names. Overall helpful
Ok, but could be a lot better
Not sure of the 5 star reviews here. Yes it’s a good app for logging basic things like fruit, veg, eggs, etc, but the ability to log every day things from supermarkets or brands is impossible. They’re just not there. MyFitnessPal is a lot better in that respect as you can log the exact food you’re eating and break it down in to portion sizes, so if something is 200g and you only had half, you can log it at 0.5 of a portion, on this app you can’t, it’s the whole 200g or nothing. So it doesn’t give a true representation of your calories. I tried it for a day, logged breakfast, but then everything else I ate for the rest of the day wasn’t able to be logged as it wasn’t listed.
I had high hopes with this being a British app (MFP is more American based, but is getting a lot better with British foods being added) I thought this would be far superior and have more British foods listed, sadly it doesn’t.
I imagine it will improve with time and updates, but for now I’ll stick with MFP.

Easy to use and very informative
Have used the app on and off for a couple of years now and it really does help with weight loss. Can see the result of counting the calories in the first week. I am using it once again and losing the weight slowly. Have tried some of the healthy recipes and all have been good. If you want to lose weight and still eat healthily then the NHS Weight Loss Plan is the one to go for.

Poor selection of foods
Gave up after trying to enter yoghurt for breakfast and it doesn’t exist in the calorie search…. Waste of time
Really helps
Thank you NHS for this app - I feel it is really helping me to lose my excess weight. Am using it along with the active 10 app where you log your brisk walking.
Aided my 6 stone loss
This app has been amazing, I have tried many ways and clubs to lose weight this app is I believe the best way to lose weight and learn about foods and calories to enable the right choices. It will assist me maintaining my losses as I carry on to lose a further 3 stone. It makes you understand foods that you believe are not high in calories you then find out it’s best to choose something else; aiding healthier options and better after you have reached your target. I will still use this when I have lost all the weight I want to lose. This app gives you control your foods your choice. Try it it’s the best I’ve ever used.
