## Description

MOVE! Coach Mobile is a weight loss and weight management app designed for Veterans, service members, their families, and others who want to lose weight. The 16-week program guides users through education and practical tools with weekly self-management modules, a weight/diet/exercise tracker, and additional calculators and stress-management tools to support progress.

Users can monitor weight, set SMART goals, view progress reports, and access support resources. The app can sync with HealthKit/Apple Health to import height and weight data. MOVE! Coach Mobile can be used standalone or alongside treatment from a healthcare provider. It was created by the National Center for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention (NCP) under the VHA’s Office of Patient Care Services.

## Review summary

MOVE! Coach offers customizable foods, free daily accountability, and has helped users increase activity and lose weight. However, it suffers from stability issues (crashes/data loss), removal of core diet/physical activity diaries, a cluttered UI, data-display inaccuracies, and missing health integrations/features (Apple Health/Watch, barcode scanner, tablet support). Addressing these would improve reliability and usability for VA users.

### Pros

- Customizable foods with macros and nutrition values (not behind a premium tier).
- Free tool that provides daily accountability and supports weight loss.
- Helps increase physical activity and promotes healthier eating.
- Generally helpful for weight loss and improving health over time.

### Cons

- Frequent crashes causing data loss and requiring restarts.
- Removal of the diet and physical activity diary reduces core tracking capabilities.
- Cluttered UI with crisis banner crowding the screen, making navigation and data entry difficult.
- Inaccurate data displays (calorie entries not matching graphs).
- Lacks Apple Health/Watch integration and other tracking features (no barcode scanner; no tablet version).
