EXACTLY what I needed!  By: josh.fry - Sep 28, 2009 Version: 1.0 Guess what, I started my diet again! Thank you WW for making this app. After going off my plan for about 3 months, this is exactly what I needed to get back on track. I absolutely love the search function! I walked past the candy bowl at work and snagged a couple fun sized butterfingers, forgetting I started my diet today.... Then looked at my iPhone and there it was, the WW icon staring at me.... Saying, count your points! So I used the new search bar and BAM! butterfinger fun size..2 points. I put down a qty of 2 and added it to my day in a matter of seconds. Beautiful! This app is so fast and I'm so glad I don't have to go back to the slow, cluncky WW mobile site.
OMG! Best app on my phone!  By: joshintosh - Sep 29, 2009 Version: 1.0 I've been waiting for this app for years now. And I'm not disappinted. I really don't think I'll need to visit the site again! It's got all I need and more. It's fast, and intuitive. Soooo much better then that LAME web app they had before. Thanks WW!!! I've seen the critisim from iPod useres, and I could imagen that it would be bad not having the Internet via cell, but it works awesome for the iPhone!
Huge improvement - thank you!!!  By: Emergency @ closing - Sep 29, 2009 Version: 1.0 First of all, I've been on the program for 5 weeks and have lost 15 lbs. Weight Watchers totally works!! However, I was hugely disappointed when I first signed up and discovered the iPhone compatibility that was advertised was merely a poorly functioning mobile website. This iPhone app is a vast improvement over the mobile site.I agree with the other reviews... It needs access to weight tracker. I would also like to view ALL recipes (ingredients & instructions)... not just view their point values. This would help a lot in the kitchen.Thank you again for making an outstanding app!!
Great app  By: cdownes - Sep 30, 2009 Version: 1.0 I am a subscriber to WeightWatchers e-tools. This app does everything th e-tools does except track weight and measurements. Everything else is there and better! I can calculate points, find my favorites and even search restaurant database and input the points directly into my tracker. Although I am a subscriber to the e-tools, I will use this app the most as it's more convenient as well as a lot easier and faster to use. I don't know why anyone would complain about this app unless they are not a subscriber of the e-tools. It won't work without a subscription.
WW & iTunes, you are the greatest!!!  By: PreciousJST - Sep 30, 2009 Version: 1.0 I'm so glad you developed this app. I've been a WW member since 2003 but it seems I keep losing & gaining the SAME lbs. I have a very hecked work schedule and also take care of an ailing mother. I started again last Sunday (9/20/09) and have lost 6 lbs, keeping track using my iPhone. It would be great to have the weight tracking option, water, veg/fruit, dairy, & oil, write short notes and also be able to email the detail in lieu of printing. This time I'm going to do it. I know it works. Thank you again!!!
Easy Bonus to E-Tools!  By: Tlbwrite - Sep 30, 2009 Version: 1.0 Let's call this what it is: a free bonus application for paying Weight Watcher members. If you are a non-paying user, then you will be denied access to the proprietary information that millions of others are paying fees to access each and every month. In fact, paying members would be pretty upset about the fees they pay if you could access this information for FREE without ever having to pay any membership fees. Weight Watcher's does indeed work, but it costs money to gain access to this weight loss program, so please just accept that fact and stop downrating this application! If the ratings were honest about this application, then there would be mostly 4 or 5 star reviews. The application itself is awesome! I have an iPod Touch, and yes there is an issue with accessing some of the online features without WiFi access. But I can't access many other online-linked applications when I'm out of WiFi range, either. (How many of you can access the iTunes store, for example, from an iPod Touch out of WiFi range? None of us can!) I've learned to live with the feature loss issue on this application. I can still look up most food points, which makes this much more portable than the dining out book I bought at the meeting. That is in itself a great feature that does not rely upon WiFi (but does rely upon having been recently logged into Weight Watchers)! When connected through WiFi, the points tracker is instantly synced with my E-tools tracker. I find this a much faster way to log food points. Unless I'm already on my computer, then why would I turn it on, wait for it to start up, then connect to the WW web site to track points? All I have to do is pull my application up on my iTouch, and a few strokes later, my points are recorded! I absolutely love how much faster and easier this application makes tracking my food points! Overall, I highly recommend this application to every Weight Watcher member. If you're already using E-tools to track your points, then you will most especially benefit from this application. It's awesome!
Fantastic  By: jesters04 - Oct 1, 2009 Version: 1.0 This app has put me in control of my plan. It makes my etools monthly fee worth every penny! My diet plan is now in the palm of my hand and I can't help but stick to it! I love the recipes, the tracking, the calculator (much better than the 'mobile' version) and the lookups (food, restaurants, etc). I have nothing bad to say about it. It's great!!! If you already have etools and an iphone - this is a must have app!
Great  By: Tidefan82 - Nov 4, 2009 Version: 1.0 This is the greatest thing WW could have done! I hate keeping a journal with food entries to keep track of points, but i take my iPhone everywhere so this app is very convenient. I have done weightwatchers in the past but got frustrated with carrying around a book or a points calculator. This makes it much easier. There are some improvements that could be made, such as more restaraunt options and a the weight tracker.
Excellent App - I love it!  By: Auntikible - Oct 2, 2009 Version: 1.0 This is a wonderful 2nd attempt, I sill have the first WW Mobile that had to use Safari, it was just too slow. This one is very speedy, I can update mt Tracker with ease. Thank you do much. Just two more things please add "Badging" and the ability to add//remove or edit the "Favorites List". I'm sure you probably already working on it. To the Lifetimers - You can always subscribe like the rest of us.
Great job WW  By: Weight watchers app is awesome - Oct 5, 2009 Version: 1.0 This app is exactly what I expected. I don't think I'll ever need to use eTools again. I have read that some users would like offline tracking, but seeing that's not the nature of eTools, I wouldn't think this application would either. If you want to track off-line, just use the pamphlet they give out at meetings. As for the people expecting this to be free, you have to have a membership to WW. Thank you again WW!!

UPDATED REVIEW! Needs better search  By: Sluggo63 - Oct 6, 2009 Version: 1.0 I have learned that the search works as advertised. 5 stars for this application!----------------------I had high hopes for this app, and it looks good except for the fact that you can't search the Weight Watchers' online database. Only 'Favorites' and 'Recently Added' are searchable. As someone who's on the road for work all the time, the ability to search different foods is essential to tracking my points. Until this app offers the database search, I will switch back to the web-based points tracker. If/when the app is updated, it will easily be a 4-5 star rating.
Why is it that you expect everything to be free  By: trinityp - Oct 9, 2009 Version: 1.0 I keep reading negative reviews from those that feel that they should have full access for free. WW actually employes people to help you lose weight. Some people thinking is so screwed up. WW does not get grants from the gov. You should expect to have a membership or at least contribute in some way for such a good program. I would like to say thanks WW for helping me to lose and maintain weight that has changed my life. You have added so much to so many people lives and I hope you can withstand the economy issues and continue to improve and simplify weight loss.
Finally - & it works great!  By: Redhead Productions - Oct 9, 2009 Version: 1.0 I have been waiting for this for some time! It is a huge improvement over their mobile site for subscribers. Yes, you do have to be a WW subscriber. The complainers are probably the type of people who complain about online banking from financial institutions where they have no account. Duh! A few improvements would include weight tracking & adding the note section. But overall (& for a free app), this is my fav.
Excellent mobile app!  By: LOST in Thought - Oct 11, 2009 Version: 1.0 Just downloaded this app and I must say it is fantastic! Love all the features that are available. Have it on my 3Gs and it works like a charm. Easy to understand, good graphics. Now I don't have to carry those damn tracker books or their flimsy handheld calculators that are very limited in functions and overly expensive in price. Granted in order to use this app to it's full potential there are certain membership requirements that must be met. Hopefully they will expand it to everyone who is just a member. I guess I can understand why they limit use- non paid folks. Would destroy their profit margin, who knows?anyway, great app give it a try.
STOP COMPLAINING  By: Pakiderm - Oct 12, 2009 Version: 1.0 To all those people writing horrible reviews because you can't do something unless connected to the Internet: stop whining and go buy the iPhone... I mean come on already. Either pay for the Internet everywhere you go, or go sit at a Starbucks or Panera and use theirs. But please quit negatively affecting these apps simply because you are too cheap to buy the real thing. Some of these apps are great for other people who actually pay for an iPhone.
Good Start !!!  By: Spaceblanket - Oct 14, 2009 Version: 1.0 Please see addendum at end :)A pretty comprehensive food data base for points, of course a points calc as well. It syncs fairly fast to update my WW etools account. The user Interface could be a little more modern or classic. I have a second gen iPhone 3.0sftware and live in LA proper so there are no connection issues and always one available. I'm hoping they fix the issues for the touch users as obviously they are losing this large customer base..... Please fix the crashing and add weight tracking and any other extras like the chat boards,or calorie counter and nutritional information, we are paying a monthly fee to use it ;-) thanks !!!!Ps::: The monthly pass option membership allows for a combination of attending meetings and online usage plus iPhone app sync - this rocks !!!! Addition of some WW inspirational tips etc would be good too !!!
great app  By: Jds0000 - Oct 15, 2009 Version: 1.0 this app has worked great for me and does exactly what I need which is track my points wherever. it's not meant to replace your computer entirely, it's an add-on tool. but that said some featureswould be nice in future updates. I noticed one low rating that said the WW only works of you go to meetings and this and the online subcsription won't work. Well that is just personal opinion b/c the online works best for me. I would have never started WW in the first place if they didn't offer online. I'm not a meetings type person for one and with my crazy work hours i do not have time for them either. the online vs meetings debate is just a matter of what works for the individual person.
Latest version is great! Even for Touch.  By: Notskm - Oct 16, 2009 Version: 1.0 I'm guessing that others' problems must have been with previous iterations of the app. Or folks just didn't read that the app is specifically intended for use by those that subscribe to the WW etools or WW online. This app is the reason that I decided to join WW online. Fantastic app that provides a means for tracking food/activity points and, most importantly, a way to look those points values up.I use this on a 2nd gen touch. Only limitations are that I cannot enter points to the tracker when there is no wifi available. I can, however, still do a search of the points values of various items from popular restaraunts without a connecton.
The Best!  By: Lifetime Bound - Oct 14, 2009 Version: 1.0 I've been WAITING WAITING WAITING for this app to be created! I don't do well tracking by paper. I had a program I used on my old PDA that helped me stay on track. When I switched over to the iPhone I was lost. This app is even BETTER than what I used on my old PDA. I have been dutifully tracking ever since I downloaded this app! I know I will return to Lifetime now that I have this app to help me track! Thank you a trillion times! This app works like a charm!
Most Excellent  By: bcurtious - Sep 22, 2009 Version: 1.0 I'm really glad that WW came out with this App. It's much easier to use then the mobile site. I would like to see a few things that would really send this App off the charts: 1. A time zone setting for us west coasters. After 9pm pacific time we can only add for the next day. 2. Weight Tracker-I would like to be able to enter my weight using this App. I would also like to be able to look at my weight progress, which would help me stay motivated or get me back on track. 3. A small thing but to be able to look at the App badge and see how many points I have left. Thanks and great work!
