### 5/5 — No biscuits or cakes for 43 days!

*2016-04-06, version 1.0.2*

I bought this app following my success with the EasyLoss vgb app. Brilliant sessions. I found the sweets, biscuits and cakes app worked best for me. Thanks James and Sue!

### 5/5 — I love a challenge...

*2016-03-01, version 1.0.2*

And I got one. Not so much a fan of chocolate anymore. Used to constantly pick at a sweet or fizzy drink at every opportunity but I'm not that bothered whether I have it or not. Amazing app

### 5/5 — kicked the chocolate addiction

*2016-02-03, version 1.0.2*

This is brilliant. I used it to kick my addiction to chocolate and sweet things.  I have now gone nearly a whole year and only eaten chocolate three times which is pretty amazing for someone who used to eat it every day. And the best thing of all is that i don't miss not eating it. I feel so much better without the highs and lows of too much sugar in my diet

### 5/5 — Life changing.

*2015-10-31*

This app has gotten this sugar addictive off sugar. So easy.

### 5/5 — A challenge.....that works!

*2015-10-26, version 1.0.2*

Had reached a plateau and decided to give the challenge a bash. Went for the full monty and stopped everything, sweets, chocolate, sugar and alcohol. First week or so was really hard, but the support and encouragement provided helped you get through it . Things did get better and easier, and lost the last few pounds I was aiming to lose. Will definitely go back to do challenge again when I feel I need to.

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2015-10-11, version 1.0.2*

A great little app from Sue and James , helps kick those sugar cravings and with the best Facebook support group ever  it really helps to kick those sugar cravings in to touch .

### 5/5 — 2 weeks in and I'm never ever going back

*2015-10-08, version 1.0.2*

l never realised how much sugar I was consuming, and I considered myself a healthy water before I started the Sugarstop challenge, but this app has really changed my view and my life! I've lost 3lbs have better skin and it's only been 3 weeks!! Thank you Jamie Oliver for teaching the world about the dangers of sugar!

### 5/5 — Fab App!

*2015-08-17, version 1.0.2*

This is a brilliant app, I feel so much better already and would highly recommend to anyone looking to cut down on their sugar intake! Nothing but 5 stars - absolutely brilliant.

### 5/5 — This app has changed my life

*2015-08-11, version 1.0.2*

I love this app! I needed to greatly reduce my sugar intake for health reasons. Came across this app by accident and it's been brilliant! Feel so much better in myself. For the first time in years I feel well! Highly recommended.

### 5/5 — Does what it says on the tin!

*2015-08-11, version 1.0.2*

I'm over the moon with this app. I'm almost at the end of week 2 and already I'm feeling so much better and I'm sleeping well for the first time in months! Highly recommended.

### 5/5 — Get on board TODAY😊

*2015-08-08, version 1.0.2*

After years 30+ of Yo yo dieting you name it I've done it.
Soups pill clubs gyms pt staving for days to get Dress to fit.😫
Depression anxiety emotional eating, 
eating till I'm stuffed. 😤
But No more after 9months I've lost 10kilos easiest 10 k I've  EVER lost never to return. Easyloss it so true. And the Closed FB is so supportive, Oh An don't worry I've never used FB ever before. But if I can u can. So if u want support from home in private an want results get on board as I'm never ever going to DIET again. I've since brought the bundles an it's the best money I've spent in the 30+year of dieting. Eat what u want are they for real
 Yes they are👏look at FB page  over 10755 members on FB it truly is Real. 
See u there☺️

### 1/5 — App water alert feature doesn’t work

*2024-07-17*

It is a pricey app in comparison to others, without a free trial option, so I thought it would work well for its basic options. The water alert feature does not work. I have tried three times. I also emailed the developer to try and troubleshoot but have not heard back. I am not able to recommend this app as a result.

### 1/5 — App not working

*2019-12-12*

The app is not working. I see that someone in September mentions the same issue. How can I get a refund?

**Developer response:** Hi TD3,  would you mind letting me know what the issue is, we have thousands of users without an issue if there is something I would like to be able to sort it for you asap. My email is info@jamesholmes.co.uk. Drop me a line and I will send you a bonus as well! Best James

### 1/5 — App crashes

*2019-09-26*

Nothing works when I make a selection; app just goes off the screen.  No way to contact developer or to get my money back!

**Developer response:** Hi MadeinGa,
Just to say that we have worked tirelessly to get the app back up and running again after the introduction of ios13.1 . Would you mind letting me know urgently if it’s working for you ok, as we like to make sure all of our users are happy. My email is info@jamesholmes.co.uk. 
All the best
James & Sue

### 1/5 — Don’t bother

*2019-06-04, version 2.0*

Not worth £4.99 at all! Very basic.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2018-08-06, version 2.0*

If I could leave no stars I would.  Beyond the hypnosis options there is nothing more than a timer button.  No record of what you’ve eaten or what sugar is in foods.  Just a stopwatch. And no refund option.

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2018-07-26, version 2.0*

Didn’t work. Disappointed. And she has a really dreary voice.

### 2/5 — No support if the app stops working!

*2017-11-18, version 1.0.2*

I would love this app if it wasn’t for the annoying beep and the lack of responses when you need help due to the app stopping working.

### 3/5 — Sugar stop challenge

*2017-08-09, version 1.0.2*

Good app but not worth £5.

### 3/5 — Good

*2014-12-07, version 1.0.1*

The hypnosis is good & love the panic button! There isn't enough info on what to eat though & the Facebook 'support' is only supportive if you're doing well & rave about how fantastic it is. Seems suspicious to me like only good things & achievements are allowed. Also the other members seem to be doing no carb not no sugar??😏

### 4/5 — Love it

*2018-05-08*

Just one request please..
Will you add an option for a sleep ending? I listen at night and always wake up at the end. 
These meditations are life changing.

### 5/5 — Works surprisingly well

*2019-10-19, version 2.1.1*

Hello, I want to revise my poor review. This is actually an excellent app. When you buy it, it doesn’t look like much. I’m sceptical and listened to the hypnosis part whilst reading the paper, and it still worked! The salient points went in and I honestly haven’t had any sugar cravings, even in an office that has a central table loaded with snacks. One week so far, but am certain the effect is permanent. Don’t worry about how simple this App appears at first - it’s really really effective. Really recommend after all. Please try it!

### 5/5 — Two times!!!

*2017-05-27, version 1.0.2*

I downloaded this app yesterday, I listened last night to the sugar addiction and this morning to the sweets and cakes, I've opened my "dessert"cupboard 5 times today and what have I eaten..... Ham!!!! Love it!!! Will keep listening and highly recommend it!!!!

### 5/5 — Never thought I could do it!!!!!

*2017-03-08, version 1.0.2*

I am on day 16/21 of this challenge. It has been so easy and I have not had any chocolate ( my downfall) sweets, desserts or ice cream, cakes or pastries. I have found this soooo easy and after 10 days I have lost 5 lbs and feel so much better. I feel in control of my sweet tooth for the first time in my life.  Well wort trying 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

### 5/5 — Amazing app and it works!!!

*2017-03-04, version 1.0.2*

I love this app! I have used Sue and James' apps for a while and started this one 11 days ago. I am a person that eats too much sugar too often and with this app, and the support from the group, I have not had sugar since. I'm not even craving it. Couldn't be happier.

### 5/5 — Sugar free

*2017-01-12, version 1.0.2*

Another great app from happy apps. Very powerful hypnosis sessions. If you feel sugar is a big problem for you, I would really recommend this, you can chose what you want to give up, or go the whole hog and stop sugar completely. Weight loss is a great side effect with this too. You can choose from a 7 day, 21 day or 30 day challenge.

### 5/5 — Love this!!

*2016-12-23, version 1.0.2*

This is a great app, you can choose what sugary foods/drinks you want to cut from your diet and for how long. Really easy to use, very helpful in cutting down sugar, gets you thinking!!

### 5/5 — Great Challenge

*2016-11-29, version 1.0.2*

Really great app. Motivational and encouraging. Love the hypnosis sessions. Highly recommend!

### 5/5 — Great way to beat those sugar cravings!

*2016-11-24, version 1.0.2*

An easy and effective way to beat those sugar cravings! Great app but just wish when you finished your challenge there was a more definitive end to the timer!.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2016-09-09, version 1.0.2*

I have just recently completed the 21 day sugar stop challenge and would recommend this app to anyone who is serious about reducing their sugar intake. I feel better and happier within myself and have lost 6kg in the process,also don't have any inclination to have anything sweet. So I say GO FOR IT

### 5/5 — The Best!!!

*2016-04-22*

Best app to help get rid of cravings for sugar!!! Great complement to Virtual GastricBand!!! 5+ stars!!!!!
