### 4/5 — It’s OK

*2026-07-19, version 1.91*

The app is OK but does lack a lots of things that you would expect. You shouldn’t have to add your own weight if you go to class this should automatically be added to your app profile. Recipes in the new book should already be uploaded to the app. When creating recipes these should be more accurate. The ability to adjust the portions to weight ie: grams and ounces. 
Go about the app being able to copy from previous days.

### 4/5 — So many improvements.

*2026-07-05, version 1.91*

I think the app has come on in leaps and bounds over past few years. Well done.

Now, if it had a way of taking the foods i’ve forward planned into the planner and creating a shopping list…… just saying 😊

### 3/5 — Food tracking

*2026-06-26, version 1.91*

It’s annoying, when you search for a food, a long list comes up that isn’t in any particular order, it would be helpful if it was in alphabetical order

### 3/5 — Needs more in the progress screen

*2026-06-16, version 1.90*

I feel the current progress screen and weigh ins could offer more.  Be nice to be able to see a graph or table of previous weigh ins,  show you’re Bmi,  if you haven’t got the 10% club yet .. how far off is it.  And when we grade how we feel about the weigh in it would be good if we could add notes .. so bad week was illness.. good week what you did.  And have this with the graphs mentioned above.  That area of the app, is so minimal, barely worth interacting with.

### 2/5 — Disappointed with app

*2026-06-06, version 1.90*

Disappointed with the app because I cannot see the whole page on my phone. Particularly when it comes to looking up swips and looking at my progress. I’ve tried all the suggested ‘fixes’ and none of them have worked.

### 3/5 — Fitness

*2026-06-04, version 1.90*

The fitness routines are good and with the symbol to put onto a smart tv , but it kept pausing when my phone went to sleep. Am I doing something wrong?

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2026-05-22, version 1.89*

Loving the app and the fact that you can track your food and also scan items you’re not sure about. It’s very helpful for keeping on plan and making healthy choices.

### 5/5 — My weight loss journey

*2026-05-20, version 1.89*

Absolutely amazing

### 5/5 — Brilliant resource!

*2026-05-19, version 1.89*

The SW app is a must have resource. The recipe section is incredibly useful but the best feature is the ability to check the barcode of food items to see how many SWIPs they are.
A thoroughly recommended, essential app for SW members.

### 5/5 — Pretty good

*2026-05-19, version 1.89*

The new app with all the new plan changes definitely better than the old version as now  you can show 1/2 of a healthy extra so much easier to track what ever you eat and the scanner makes it easy too

### 5/5 — Brilliant app

*2026-05-18, version 1.89*

Really impressed how it has so much food info, I've cooked from lots recipes too 
And if it doesn't scan 
I tend to think it's not worth eating 
And I feel has also helped me stay in control of my weight loss journey 🥰

### 5/5 — Jane

*2026-05-18, version 1.89*

I’m enjoying it looking at different foods I can eat

### 5/5 — Helpful

*2026-05-16, version 1.89*

I have to say, I’m finding SlimmingWorld fairly easy to use and having the app makes it easy for me to keep track of all that I eat thank you

### 5/5 — Fab

*2026-05-16, version 1.89*

Loving app.

### 5/5 — Good app

*2026-05-15, version 1.89*

Nice to scan in shops

### 5/5 — Helpful Slimming App

*2026-05-14, version 1.89*

This app is brilliant for when your doing the slimming world diet. You can keep track of your eating habits and search food to help with your diet.

### 2/5 — Inaccurate recording of swipes

*2026-05-08, version 1.88*

When I am recording swips on the app why is my daily total often more then the numbers I have put down?

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2026-05-07, version 1.88*

Everything is at your fingertips,easy to use and informative.

### 5/5 — Great, time saving being online

*2026-05-03, version 1.88*

Love the fact everything is online, I miss going to group, for camaraderie, but health limits this ability, so online my perfect choice.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Poor functionality and no cancellation via app

*2026-05-04, version 1.88*

I would not recommend this. SW has a good “real world” offer but they don’t have the digital equivalent. There’s very little support, they don’t use notifications for reminders, nudges etc. Like a lot of companies they bury the cancellation option so you easily end up unwittingly auto renewing. I won’t use again.

### 1/5 — Behind the times!

*2026-03-05, version 1.86*

Was very excited with the Christmas update, thought maybe we’d be able to start tracking in actual grams/ounces rather than 1/3 1/2 3/4 of a portion. Was also hoping a recipe builder may get introduced. Steps don’t track correctly from Garmin either and it doubles my activity. Sadly the weight watchers app far exceeds the SW one and as a result I’ve defaulted back to them, where I can track macros and nutrients, it has a body scanner, I can put I’ve had 63 grams not 2/3s of a portion and a lot more insight that is needed now!

### 1/5 — WILL NOT UPDATE

*2026-02-19, version 1.85*

This app is pathetic!!!! It is ALWAYS a week behind on my weight graph

### 1/5 — Fitbit won’t sync steps and exercise

*2026-02-17, version 1.85*

Since the latest update 5 days ago my Fitbit won’t sync steps and exercise. Worked fine score this update

### 1/5 — Update not working

*2026-02-12, version 1.85*

I keep trying to update to 1.85 but nothing happens. What should I do?

### 1/5 — Let me with a blank screen when I tried to update.

*2026-02-12, version 1.85*

When I tried to download the app afresh it went into the same loop.

### 1/5 — Food selection infuriating

*2025-11-25, version 1.83.2*

Cannot multi select recent foods and add them - very tedious food adding process. MFP has this much better designed.

### 1/5 — Planner

*2025-10-12, version 1.82*

Really disappointed that the planner feature is going!! I use this daily as a tool to help with my journey!! Bad decision made clearly by people who don’t use it!! How about asking SW users what they want?!

### 1/5 — Outdated

*2025-09-18, version 1.82*

Please update your app.  WW app is so good with lots of relevant and useful features.  Compared to sw, this app is basic

### 1/5 — Barcode hidden

*2025-05-03, version 1.80*

Why doesn’t SW make the barcode search visible.  I can never locate it for some reason.  Surely one of the most useful tools on the site- make it visible on the first screen surely.

### 5/5 — 6 years now !!

*2026-07-21, version 1.91*

Absolutely love it. Brilliant in so many ways

### 5/5 — Joining

*2026-07-09, version 1.91*

Since joining slimming world 4 weeks ago, I was very sceptical about joining but I’ve had 3 weigh ins for my weight loss journey, I’ve lost 12lb 😀
All I’ve changed is my portion sizes and followed the SW recipes and it’s worked a treat l.

### 5/5 — Life changing

*2026-07-02, version 1.91*

I didn’t think this plan would work until I tried it, and once I could understand food optimising which isn’t difficult just couldn’t believe how much I could eat & loose weight. Truly a weight plan that works. Thank you

### 5/5 — Steve’s happy journey!

*2026-07-01, version 1.91*

Really enjoy Barbara’s group.
I’ve had consistent success in my weight loss journey at Westbourne and look forward to obtaining my target membership.
A very friendly place and a joy meeting the other likeminded people who continue benefiting from her guidance and support.

### 5/5 — Enjoying the slimming world experience

*2026-06-29, version 1.91*

The class in Cinderford I attend is the smaller one it’s friendly and I have learned a great deal from the members and group leader Sabrina my weight is coming off and I’m feeling great

### 5/5 — Easy To Use

*2026-06-24, version 1.91*

I find the App very easy to use.  I had the text size too large to be able to use the app previously but now I’ve made text slightly smaller, it is so useful.  I love scanning bar codes to find out what value the foods are.  Overall, really useful

### 5/5 — Love

*2026-06-09, version 1.90*

I love using this app keeps me on track

### 5/5 — great but could but better

*2026-06-04, version 1.90*

The App always seems to struggle when I'm in a supermarket and I want to scan things. 

It would be really great when you save your food items if it saved it in separate categories like what you eat for breakfast what do you eat for lunch what do you eat for dinner so you haven't got to go through a full list looking for a banana for example

Otherwise I found it really easy to use instead of having to write things down on a piece of paper when you're out and about you can just put food items in your log

### 5/5 — Keeps me on track

*2026-06-03, version 1.90*

It’s so easy to use as is the program itself! What I’ve noticed is that when I got a bit lazy and stopped using the app, I miscalculated swips- I’m counting again! It works 😁

### 5/5 — New to Slimming world

*2026-05-30, version 1.90*

I love this App, it enables me to plan, record as I go and keep myself meals in check. The best thing is being able to check swip value of items whilst I’m shopping. So no need to get food that sabotages my plan 😇😇
