WeightWatchers Program

I love weight Watchers and I love some of the new features such as being able to import recipes from the internet. That said, there are also some frustrating parts. For example, I've come back to weight Watchers after quite a while away. It won't let me update my starting weight; so, I'm unable to accurately see my total weight loss without manually calculating it. Also, while the recipe import feature is great, I found that it can be somewhat inaccurate and imports ingredients not instructions.

Meh at best. Using the recipe part of the app is absolutely frustrating. It does not navigate well and there is no way to save or print a recipe to make life easier. Also... It doe not track foods that you eat on a regular basis. Sometimes it does but even that is sketchy. It is also hard to find foods that have bar codes.

I used to really love this app but when the new scanning feature came out it stopped working well on my phone? You have to keep the camera on the bar code even after it pops up the result and you're trying to put it in because if you don't then it'll return to the camera and reset. Otherwise I really do enjoy this app 💙 the scanner feature used to work really well but recently it's been broken and I've tried uninstalling the application to fix it but nothing works. 😔

Overall Good App. I saw the new zero point foods advertised and see them in the online program guide, but they're not showing up on the list on the app. To figure out of a food is zero I have to look it up. Not convenient for quick meal planning to have to go to the website.

Although I continue to create new recipes within the app in order to determine the WW points, after the website was deactivated, it is no longer possible to export recipes or send them to others. This is a failure on the part of WW and no one answers my need to export my recipes without having to transcribe each one individually. Is anyone listening at WW? You won't even answer the question when it comes from my workshop leader. The app is good, but constant "tweaks" cause it to freeze often.

UPDATE: Thank you for fixing this!!! I'm so sick of the activity portion of the app. Having the app tell me I'm behind every day compared to the previous week is NOT helpful. If I have the exact same amount of steps every day, I will still always be behind until the end of the day. It's not motivating for me and I'd like to have the option to turn it off. It

Hate the latest update! I want My Day to just be about my day but now there are recipes and other clutter on it. Keep the recipes in the recipes section and just let me focus on my points, exercise, and weight on my home page! Also, when I add a food I have to wait for the long clarification pop-up to go away before moving on to the next item or it won't track. Nobody has time for this. Listen to what the people using the app say before messing with it! We need this tool to work for us.

I wish there was still a web-based option for entering data. The app is glitchy. For example, when I add an item to track it, it doesn't show up and count the points. I have to refresh the screen or close the app and reopen it. Entering recipes and foods is more challenging. The bar code scanner is finicky, it's hard to scan and choose at the same time without the app losing the item. Also, I try to search for a food by the exact name the app used on an earlier day, and it doesn't come up.

This is much better than it was 4 years ago. My only complaint is that tracking weight can be tedious with the scroll wheel. You have to hit it just right in order for it to scroll, or you may accidentally close it and start over. I also don't like that it starts me off at 200 every single time I go to weigh in. I wish it would just start at my previous weight so I didn't have to scroll a bunch. A typed option would be nice too.

The 2024 WW App "Upgrade" has made the user experience more difficult. Harder to find foods and exercises. Harder to quick track multiple meals at one time. And the selection carousels for things like serving sizes and sleep/rise times are harder to use. 9/7/2024 Edit- There have been some improvements. Carousels are better and points are calculating accurately. App has improved to adequate, but still less functional than the 2023 app.
