What is your favorite app to use with WW?

  • My BIL & I are starting WW Online for 3 months with the special they're running. Afterward, I plan on canceling & just doing it without the online portion.

    In would love to know what apps you've used & loved (or hated). I have an iPhone & he has an android. I'm not sure if that makes any difference in apps.

    On another note, if we are paying for the online version, can we go into a WW center & purchase books & things?

    Thank you!
  • Some Weight Watcher Centers sell to the public, other's don't. Look for the ones that are listed as "stores". You can also order directly online. I have the iPhone app, and it works great for tracking points. You need to go onto a laptop to see all the additional things like all of the recipes and message boards. But once you join up, you can use as many devices as you want.
  • Thank you so much for your reply! Where do I see where the centers are listed as stores? I know the one I used to go to for meetings had merchandise.

    As far as apps, I was wondering which non-Weight Watchers apps everyone lives to use. I have Diet Scancalc & Itrack bites. I also have a couple with restaurant info. I would live to find out what everyone uses & loves.

    Thanks again!
  • so when you go to www.weightwatchers.com look for find a meeting. Then when you look closely at those places it will list the hours and some with say "store". Usually those are in storefronts and are open a few extra hours a week. You might have to go a little further away from your house but it probably won't be that far. Unless you live in a rural area, it might be totally different. lol

    Anyhow, anything you want, WW will sell via online. You would just have to pay shipping.
  • I have the Ultimate Food Value Diary Plus app on my phone, and I am happy with it......I think it was $2.99, that sure beats the WW online monthly fee.
  • Thanks! I downloaded the UFVDP...it looks really good! I also signed up for WW Online today....it will be interesting comparing them side by side. It looks much better than the other apps (which I like) that I have from last time I did WW.
  • Be sure to keep the cost of each in mind when you compare them! ; - )
  • I use Pts Plus Diary and I love it. I've had it for so long, I'm not sure if it was free (though I think it is) or if I paid a small amount for the app. I have Android, so I'm not sure about your iPhone. It'll definitely work for your BIL though. =) It's nice because it logs your points, activities, weight, AND scans food labels. You can also select Points or the Points Plus. (This was important for me since I decided NOT to stick with Points Plus, and go back to the Points system.)

    Good luck!
