### 4/5 — Cannot alter meal time

*2026-08-17, version 176*

Since a few days ago when I select an image from my photos to upload my meal; I cannot change the time stamp of that meal.

### 2/5 — Bugs are getting demotivating

*2026-08-16, version 176*

Since the last update, the freezing of the screen when I log my first meal of the day continues intermittently which is annoying but now the app has stopped tracking my steps from my Fitbit, and deleted the title of a custom goal I set up.  What exactly was this last update meant to improve?  It seems to have introduced more bugs than it fixed?

### 2/5 — Bug fixes make it glitchy and buggy

*2026-08-12, version 175*

Since the latest app update every time I add food, the app freezes. The food is at successfully, but I then have to force close the app. And reopen it before I can do anything else. to rule out it being an issue with my phone I force restarted my phone to reset it and clear any cache that may be affecting it test did not resolve the issues. Appears to be a problem with your latest version of the app. It makes it incredibly frustrating and almost impossible to use, not exactly a great aid for somebody who is trying to lose weight.

### 4/5 — Ok with a glitch

*2026-08-12, version 175*

It’s ok, some of it is a bit waffle, but go with the flow in getting routines in place.
The glitch- enter meal details, a day of week pops up and screen freezes. Been trying to find ways to reset it?

### 4/5 — Brilliant

*2026-08-12, version 175*

I love using Oviva because it keeps me on track with my food choices and I can see straight away what I need to eat more or less of. I am eating a more varied diet and feeling much better in myself. I weight myself weekly and because of this I feel I am in control of my eating more. The advice and tutorials are really good and I have learned a lot from them. The app is really easy to understand and keeps me motivated.

### 3/5 — Portion sizes

*2026-08-11, version 175*

Portion sizes don’t make sense now. I could never eat that amount of protein in a day!

### 5/5 — Better way of life

*2026-08-07, version 175*

This is a very helpful app it contains great information, very easy to use , logging your meals helps you see what your food contains by showing a colour scale so green would be a well balanced meal , if it was yellow it would show you what to eat more of and red shows you what to eat less of in your next meal , I’m finding that really helpful, so I totally recommend this app 😁

### 4/5 — Glitchy

*2026-08-06, version 175*

Doesn’t let you enter meals or drinks sometime I press the plus button it won’t let you press drinks or food on both iPhone 16 pro max or iPad Pro both fully updated inc the app it’s annoying also I started filling out the questionnaire bit but had to pause filling it out but when I went back to finish it had all gone very very annoying

### 5/5 — Easy to follow

*2026-08-06, version 175*

The app is straight forward and using photos to log your food intake helps you to keep track of what you need over calorie intake

### 2/5 — Problems

*2026-08-06, version 175*

The app keeps freezing making it unusable

### 3/5 — Freezing too much

*2026-08-05, version 175*

The app has been really useful but recently freezes and loosing data

### 3/5 — A bug a week

*2026-08-05, version 175*

Can’t really complain. I think it struggles to estimate accurately non-animal protein. I’ve got a few gripes with the software. It tries hard but there are new bugs with every update. Pop ups that won’t pop down. Keyboards that don’t work beyond the first line of typing. I’m mystified by the flags. UX clearly had something in mind that isn’t obvious to this user. The banners seem to come and go. But it’s not awful.

### 4/5 — Not bad

*2026-08-04, version 175*

Been using this for a week now, not bad.  
It does however have a bug which is a bit annoying.  When you enter your first meal of the day, you get a pop up that shows days of the week and ‘got it’ written in green.  If you click on the box nothing happens and you can’t go back to the home page.  You have to quit the app and close the window down and start again then you are ok.  Apart from this it seems to be ok for the short time I have been using it.

### 4/5 — Friendly

*2026-08-03, version 175*

Interesting and friendly interview

### 2/5 — Disappointed

*2026-08-01, version 175*

Why can’t I record my food packs? It’s so annoying to repeatedly be reminded to record my goals when one of them is irrelevant to me but I can’t turn it off! The only thing I use this for is to chat to my coach and record my weight, blood sugar weekly, hydration and bowel habits.
I don’t understand why this app is pushed on people starting a 12 week TDR, show them the option to record their food packs consumption but then that feature not work. It’s very demotivating.

### 5/5 — Fabulous 24/7 Support!

*2026-07-30, version 175*

User friendly, Easy to Navigate and keeps me on track!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Get rid of the rara congratulatory pop up after first entry of the day

*2026-08-16, version 176*

The first totally unnecessary pop up freezes the app, does not allow app refresh which means rebooting.  Very very irritating and at times means I can’t be bothered to record.

### 1/5 — Bug not solved

*2026-08-06, version 175*

As with a previous reviewer on entering a meal a banner pops up praising the fact you have entered a meal that freezes the screen meaning you have to repeatedly delete the programme and reinstall it. ‘Support’ is a meaningless word if doesn’t support. I have repeatedly reported this to no avail. If this continues I will completely delete it.

### 1/5 — Useless and no support

*2026-08-04, version 175*

App keeps freezing on iPhone each time a pop up window is launched. Tried to contact tech but no response

### 1/5 — Keeps freezing

*2026-08-04, version 175*

Not able to input meals at all. Keeps freezing with pop up that tells me to log food. Just a bad experience all around.

### 1/5 — Useless and no support

*2026-07-22, version 174*

App keeps freezing on iPhone each time a pop up window is launched. Tried to contact tech but no response

### 1/5 — Utter failure.

*2026-07-17, version 174*

Complaint has gone through - I’m looking at how I can go up the chain. Didn’t communicate ANYTHING, Then tried to blame me for giving up after months of the absolute bare minimum. You would get more help using something like myfitnesspal.

### 1/5 — New update is a fail

*2026-06-29, version 173*

The latest update has put bugs in.It now will not log meals and randomly logs snacks. Was a great app but now says data is unavailable and doesn’t update the meal plans

### 1/5 — Face ID sign ins

*2026-06-05, version 170*

The recent announcement that Face ID will required is not allowing confirmation. I have enabled Face ID but when confirming this  a message ‘ oops something went wrong’ repeatedly appears!

### 1/5 — Log entries vanish

*2026-05-02, version 166*

I’m getting fed up with this app loosing log entries. You enter a log for a previous day save it. When you go back it disappears. Also the order you have to use to add a meal is wrong If you want to add say breakfast in the evening the only meals you see in the recent lists are dinner meals

### 1/5 — Lack of Personalisation Is Causing Me to Lose Motivation

*2026-04-15, version 165*

I am very disappointed with my experience of this programme. It does not feel like a personalised service, but rather a “one size fits all” system with fixed stages, tests, and rules that do not reflect individual situations.

I am still actively trying to lose weight and I am far from being in any maintenance or “Sustain” phase, yet the system classifies me in a way that does not match my reality. This creates confusion and makes it difficult to trust the process.

Despite logging all my food intake, weight, blood pressure, glucose levels, and other health data, it feels like this information is not being used in a truly personalised way. Instead, it appears to be processed through general templates that are applied to all users.

In addition, I have not had a proper one-to-one consultation to discuss my individual situation in detail. Communication has been limited to occasional messages in chat, which do not feel sufficient or supportive.

Overall, I do not feel understood, supported, or treated as an individual in this programme.

### 5/5 — Oviva Weight Loss App

*2026-08-17, version 176*

The app is very easy to navigate and content are straightforward. I love the app because It’s really helpful in the weight loss journey.

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-08-16, version 176*

This app has been of help for the past year, with this I keep my weight stable. You will never be disappointed

### 5/5 — Hello new me

*2026-08-15, version 176*

Brilliant app allows easy tracking

### 5/5 — Good app

*2026-08-13, version 176*

I’m pleased with this. The photo AI is very good. Lots of help and information.

### 5/5 — Great app, easy to use. Great for motivation. Encourages a real proactive focus on healthy nutrition

*2026-08-13, version 176*

I came to register on this app following coming up as pre early diabetes. I love the goals on here, you can set your own too. Which inspires healthy daily habits. The food compass is great as it can alert you to what you are missing. It’s very simple too. And highlights what you might need to add such as more protein. I love the ease of logging food and water too. This app really has helped me by bringing together my current eating plan (The fast 800 Mediterranean diet)with a focus on balanced diet, using the food compass and with the learning aspect on the app too.

### 5/5 — Avid user

*2026-08-12, version 175*

Am loving the app and the reminders to help log my data. However, it is a little frustrating that when logging into the app it ‘hangs’ and I have to close after every entry. I tried logging out and in again but the error is still there. It didn’t happen in the beginning. Maybe it is caused by an app update.

### 5/5 — It’s the best thing ever!

*2026-08-10, version 175*

I’m finding out a lot of info that I hadn’t thought about. This is going to be a interesting nine months

### 5/5 — Very helpful

*2026-08-10, version 175*

Oviva have been very helpful with my health and weight loss journey, like most weight loss programs you have good days and bad days, but Oviva are always there to assist you.

### 5/5 — On track

*2026-08-09, version 175*

Really good to keep me on track and helping to work out what I need more of with the next mean.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-08-09, version 175*

Great app to help me on my way. As others have stated a glitch when adding breakfast - you got it bar won’t go away and need to close app and phone to re start. Only with breakfast mind you .
Such a helpful tool that is really inspiring me on my healthy way.
