Noom provides a wealth of information in a fun and easy way to learn. They teach you a lot about mindset and how to create new habits that build on one another.
You have a 1-on-1 Goal Specialist and a Group Coach (not sure why they aren't the same person?). I like this information and the tips from both my Goal Specialist. The Group Coach always have really good ideas and articles. Unfortunately, we can add these articles to our library. Noom does allow you to bookmark those articles that have information you want to refer back to.
I really wish there was a way to download these articles and not always have to go in and use the app.
That is where the love ends. The food logging is terrible because so many foods are not in the database. The scanner to enter new food never works. If you only eat 1/2 of a food you can't change the portion size to 1/2, you have to calculate and input the new information. Can't track water. When it comes to the food, I just use MyFitnessPal app.
Last, the information is only on the app which means I have to use my phone or my tablet. It would be great if we could also access the information on a website. I have emailed the company with all of my frustrations and the reply back I received was, "the app works the way the app works and there will never be a website."
Last, to cancel your automatic renewal subscription, you have to go into the app and contact you Goal Specialist. I should be able to go into the app or ideally my account online and shut off the auto-renewal.
Honestly, the company makes getting their great information way too complicated. They are missing out on a whole group of people who don't live their lives according to apps!
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend
