Truth Nuke is a weight tracking app for people who *can* handle the truth. It reads your weight from Apple Health and shows you the one thing that matters: how much you lost or gained since your last weigh-in. It seems like no app does that anymore, so we wrote this one. Features include: • Widgets. Small, medium, and large Home Screen widgets, plus rectangular and circular Lock Screen widgets. Fun for the whole family, I'm told. • Charts. See your weight over time with goal tracking. • Full History. Every weight loss or gain, every measurement, easy to scroll back through. • Custom comparisons. Pick any two weigh-ins and see the difference between them.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Truth Nuke at 5.0 against Optum's 4.4. Optum's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (13K vs 1). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Truth Nuke sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Optum asks for nothing beyond the download.
Truth Nuke holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Optum has 13K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Optum ships an update every 3 weeks, Truth Nuke every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
