Smart, no-nonsense, helpful program

By Madi W., Bozeman, MT, Verified Reviewer

I've been doing Noom since March 2019 and am really impressed with both my weight loss and the healthier habits I have developed. I've always been a pretty healthy person - I eat lots of whole foods, exercise almost every day, am careful with portions, etc. Like many others, I still have areas where I could make healthier choices and that reflected in my weight and struggles to lose the weight I wanted to lose. I'm 35 pounds down and have 15 more to go. I'm taking it slowly but surely and enjoy the benefits every day. I especially love having a coach and a support group to rely on. Noom will give you what you put into it and doesn't make any extreme promises or prescriptions. I strongly recommend giving it a shot.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Yep, I had a bad experience with billing too

By Alina G., Australia, Verified Reviewer

Ugh. I wish I'd looked at this site before. I was enjoying a quiet evening, when I checked my email and saw they'd charged me for four months' subscription at once, with no refund for unused months. First you pay for a trial of 14 days, and then they take out four months' without alerting you first?

Yes - once I searched through my email it was in one I had only scanned, and wasn't aware in any other way that there would be the 4-month payment. When I thought I was signing up for a trial, I wasn't alerted in any other way of this cost - so it is very easily missed.

Be very aware of subscriptions. This is, unfortunately, not the first experience I've had with details being hidden in the scroll down.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Did you know about the recurring billing?

By Greg H., Oregon, Verified Reviewer

I feel I was deceived. I bought a 10-month program. I was charged for a second 10-month plan. I want a refund. So far they are saying no.

Their "system" did not work for me. I do not have a problem with the system, I have a problem with their shady billing practices.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Save your money

By Charles M., Pflugerville, TX, Verified Reviewer

Please save your time and money by not joining this diet program as you can find many free apps on the internet that will do the same things as this company makes you pay for. Also, their fraudulent refund program policies make this a company that you want to avoid. There is a class action lawsuit being initiated against them for their company policies.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

App is not available

By James B., Bigfork, MN, Verified Reviewer

The billing was fast but no phone number is available...slow to respond to things...need to have an iPad to get it. I would not recommend based on billing practice and customer service.

Scam

By Karen S., Ohio, Verified Reviewer

I’ve read all of the reviews NOW. I wish I had read them before. I never would have joined. I am being charger $105.68. There is no person to talk to in order to inquire WHY I am being charged that amount. Thankfully, my credit card is now handling the matter.

Warning! Rip-off!

By Shawna C., Eugene, OR, Verified Reviewer

I signed up for Noom in hopes of losing the last 40 pounds of my needed weight loss. It was the "14-day free trial" so I figured I had nothing to lose except the weight.

WRONG!

I immediately lost $18.47 from my account less than 24 hours into my "free" trial!

After searching and clicking and going around and endless rabbit trail online, I finally was able to contact a real person via email. I requested a refund and was told they cannot refund the trial period charge.

What happened to FREE?!

Now, after having read several reviews of hefty additional charges, I will contact my financial institution to block any additional UNAUTHORIZED charges!

Caution: Do NOT sign up for Noom, no matter how desperately you need to lose weight.

Weight Watchers, people. WW!

30 pounds in 73 days!

By Tina J., California, Verified Reviewer

I started Noom when I was feeling overweight, out of shape, and out of control of my physical health. Now 73 days and 30 pounds lighter and I feel great!

If you are ready to lose the weight and take care of yourself then this app can be very helpful. I think it helps with accountability. I still have about 40 more to go and when this first 16 weeks is up I'm pretty sure I will do it for the second 16 weeks.

My coach checks in with me weekly, my group is there daily, and I like logging my food and exercise, it just really helps me think about what I'm going to eat and log before I do.

I should mention I am also taking Contrave, a weight loss medication that reduces cravings. The combo of Noom and Contrave have helped me feel great again.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Surprise cost

By Daniel P., New York, Verified Reviewer

I signed up and gave Noom my PayPal information for a suggested $10 fee. A couple of weeks later my PayPal account gets debited $172.32 by Noom. I had no clue. I complained to PayPal and Noom. PayPal said as far as they were concerned it wasn't unauthorized. But who can read all the fine print? Noom is suddenly silent.

DO NOT DOWNLOAD

By Kelsie T., Utah, Verified Reviewer

Did not work for me during the trial period, so I decided to cancel. When I went to check my statement it charged me $212. When I tried contacting the company they wouldn’t respond to my emails. There is also not a phone number to reach any customer support just an answering machine. I have been trying to reach them with no success. This program probably works, but because of the poor customer service, I would never recommend this program.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Noom worked for me!

By Betsy A., California, Verified Reviewer

By accident, I paid for a full six months of Noom. I wasn’t too happy about my mistake but went ahead and joined. I have no regrets. It was around the holidays so I knew I was going to struggle. The app counts your daily calories as you log your food, counts your daily steps and records your daily/weekly weight on a scale to see your progress. My personal coach was amazing - very professional, supportive and encouraging! I loved reading the daily articles that were very informative as well as humorous. I also had a support group with another encouraging coach who reached out to my group with some fun ideas to get us sharing our ups and downs. There was never any judgment. Let me say that again - there was never any judgment, just support and encouragement! His weekly sayings were always encouraging and most welcomed.

What I got most out of Noom was not to give up when you overdo it and to get moving! I wasn’t going for a quick weight loss. I wanted to get healthy and get more energy with strength. I had two knee replacements so I had no strength. After the six months mark, I was so sad to leave my group and coaches - I didn’t have the money to keep going. But I kept the app recording my meals...counting my steps and recorded my weight weekly.

Again, let me stress, I wasn’t in this for the quick weight loss - I learned so much more about why I eat and how to control and why moving is important. I am riding my stationary bike a half daily. I am able to now keep up with my daughters as we take walks. I have so much more energy and strength. Now for weight...I started at 198 and I’m now at 177. My clothes are huge on me - gone from 16 to a size 12.

Am I happy? You bet I am! I wish I had the vocabulary to share more of what I learned and applied. I’m truly truly satisfied. Thank you Noom!
