I tried Noom like I do with all my other good intentions with health and weight loss. I figure that I could just cancel after 14 days if I didn’t like it. I didn’t like it any more than the other apps I use (MyFitnessPal, Beachbody). It was harder to log food and took up quite a bit of time with their questionnaires and spoon fed motivation.
What really sealed the deal and inspired me to leave this review as a warning is the difficulty I encountered to manage and ultimately cancel my subscription. I have read a lot of reviews and noticed people who try Noom are paying all kinds of different prices. I was only given one option, which was to pay $99 every two months (for what they are offering this is super expensive in my opinion). I’ve read where people are paying half that amount ($49 every two months) or I’ve seen $129 for two months.
Besides that, when my subscription was set to renew, I never received an email or message to let me know that was going to happen. My PayPal was charged without a warning. Super annoying. Finally, when I wanted to cancel, there is no place in your account to cancel. You actually have to submit a request with your coach to quit. The coach didn’t get back to me right away, and I had to explain myself. I found that uncomfortable and super inconvenient. I felt like I should have been able to decide when and how I cancel my subscription.
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend
