I have no idea if Noom is actually any good. I signed up for a 14-day free trial but life was kinda crazy and I never really had a chance to check it out. I decided to cancel the subscription and realized I was one day past the free trial period. I sent in my cancellation and was told I couldn't get a refund for the YEAR subscription ($159) because I missed the deadline. I've never had an experience like this with any other company. Had a realized that was even a possibility, I never would have signed up for the free trial.
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend
