Review summary

The app is valued for its WW-style tracking and barcode/database features, with good value relative to WW. However, users repeatedly complain about intrusive ads, billing/support problems with premium, an outdated app with limited regional data, and login/account issues.

Pros

Supports the old Weight Watchers Points Plus / ProPoints system, helping longtime WW users.
Easy to track foods and workouts; keeps users on track.
Bar code scanner and a global product database (premium access) for quick logging.
Generally cheaper and offers good value compared to the official Weight Watchers app.

Cons

Intrusive ads, sometimes persisting even for premium users, with delays and interruptions.
Premium subscription billing issues and weak support; charges not recognized and slow/responsive help.
App feels outdated with limited or infrequent updates and support.
Database and localization gaps (UK restaurants limited; non-US data; odd search results for common items).
Sign-in/login issues and account recovery problems.

2026-05-09	D *****	I have been using this app on and off for numerous years. it was great in the beginning, but I've recently just reactivated the app and it is totally useless. Minimal UK foods. I paid an annual subscription but can't upload bar codes or photos to create uk products. I raised a ticket for this and so far, 9 days later, have had no useful communication. Feel I have been totally ripped off and looking at reviews there haven't been any for a few years. Beginning to think this is a scam.

2025-10-31	Ki*****	I loved it for a long time. now I'm suddenly getting video ads after I add a couple items to my diary. I'm looking for a different app. I'm not going to tolerate that. I figured out what was wrong. My ad blocker wasn't working. However those kinds of ads are very frustrating.

2025-06-21	Do*****	LOVE this app, because it allows me to use the "former" Weight Watchers "Points Plus" program. I used another app in the past but it went away when I upgraded my Android phone :( If I could change one thing about the app is if I continually use the same ingredients to make for example overnight oats, I have to look for each ingredient when I make it the next time.
