Noom
Price: $70 per month
Operating system: iOS and Android
Noom is an app that encourages daily behavior changes for long-term weight loss and focuses on fitness and nutrition to help users “stop dieting,” according to the company. The program uses psychology-based approaches to foster healthy habits and offers a team of health experts and coaches to guide you, per the company. The app also offers custom programs for those with medical conditions like type 2 diabetes or heart disease.
“I’ve been with Noom for a month now and I’m really enjoying the platform. The information they give you is broken down into easily digestible groups, their approach to weight loss is different than anything I’ve tried before,” wrote on iOS user. “There is the calorie tracking element, water intake tracking, steps taken, all that stuff but, it’s more there for you to see how you are progressing instead of being drilled into your head that you have to do all those things without fail everyday to see success. I’m down 10 pounds as of this morning and I’m very pleased with that.”

An iOS reviewer wrote, “I’m a nutritionally illiterate 40-year-old with terrible eating habits. I like everything I’m not supposed to eat, and I sometimes feel like I hate all healthy options. I was overjoyed to discover that this app existed — and links with Apple Health — to give me much-needed insight and feedback into my eating habits so I can make some adjustments to my diet.”
