Great App
The app is easy to use I would love the App to include tofu different types rice pasta on app and different milks reflecting the change in eating it is a very useful App

Review for app
App is easy to use but for snacks and the list of foods below I don’t know how to do it
2022-06-25
Review
I did not give 4 stars because I logged Tuesdays meals but has not shown your end and consequently I did not receive the full weekly percentage review

Fantastic service.
I think that this is a fantastic app. The only issue I have is that I can’t always photograph the food I eat and it is difficult to describe.

Good app, nice and easy and keeps you focus on what you are putting in your body
2022-05-31
Fantastic resource
A brilliant resource to support you in your life and collection of data relating to all things health and food . It enabled me to bring AWARENESS and FOCUS to my life which resulted in effecting long term sustainable change and routine to be a healthier and more fulfilled person ❤️

Good app poor follow-up with dietician/support.
App has been very helpful for focusing on mindful awareness of my eating drinking and activity levels. But I have been repeatedly disappointed with the communications from the dietician. I have phones several times and twice had been discharged without warning. Fees like the administration is poor. Saying that. The app itself has been useful to keep me motivated. I for action sections very good too. Just as much as needed at any given point.
2022-05-26
New to app
Still getting used to the app and waiting on my first appointment but so far so good .
Helps me from binge eating as you need to log everything.
Also so easy as just need to take pictures of your food even when you are out .
2022-05-17
Great app for weight loss
Got referred to this company for my weight loss and got told to use this app you register with them a email address and choose a passwords.your dietician will message you in app any of their colleagues who are working with you will too. You can see your appointment log food log water log your weight get noted of your weekly update
On how you are doing with goals set. They also opening up a learning lessons which are very useful to read complete and go back too. This is a 12 week programme.
2022-05-11
Brilliant
I like the flexibility this app has given me in terms of my food or weight entries.
2022-05-02
Lifestyle tracker on the go
Excellent way of monitoring your diet & exercise

Absolutely no support!
I’m very disappointed with this app. I was referred to it by my library using Boditrax machine. I was told that 12 weeks should be £100 but that I could have it for free. I’m so pleased I didn’t have to pay that amount of money but I hope that my local authority all the library didn’t have to pay it for me, because after about three weeks or so, I failed to continue to receive any support from the “trained nutritionists” that I was assigned.
Yes, there are some lessons, on how to manage your diet and what you should and shouldn’t eat. But this can be accessed anyway using Google.
Recording what you eat there’s no guidance to me, if it is of any to anybody at Oviva.I failed to understand how taking photographs of my meals is of any use at all, since it doesn’t tell me how much I have consumed.
So, I am going back to MyNetDiary, which is a brilliant app, tracking my calories, my carbohydrates and fats intake etc.
I absolutely do not recommend this app at all.
2022-04-25
Great App
Nice app that keeps weight and diet on track with truly positive results.
Total trust in the online help and allocated assistant, highly recommended - 5 stars all the way, thankyou
2022-04-24
Zero support
The app is quite good, but don’t expect any support with it. I have used this for 12 weeks, had no group support (as was promised). You can send them a message if you’re stuck, but they only pick messages up every 2 weeks, so don’t expect any meaningful reply. The advice is generic, copy and pasted and doesn't refer in any way to you specifically. Total waste of money!

Fantastic App
Brilliant App and great coach - would really be helpful if sleep was one of the To-dos as I know this has a massive impact on what I eat as I tend to eat more and make bad choices when I’m tired. Other than that it’s great.
2022-03-24
Total rubbish
This app is an exercise in government outsourcing where people have to feed an an app with information rather than get any real support and help with their weight loss. This job used to be done by a person. This app does not help you lose weight or support you with coaching. You are just feeding a machine with data and the coaches write you a text message once a week. Horrible.
2022-03-20
Love the App.
Keeping me on track. Really helpful. Pity about my ‘guide or helper’ a no show so I’m struggling a bit with no guidance for foods. But love the App.
2022-03-16
Review
This app has been fantastic for tracking food and other information related to learning to live with diabetes. Loads of information and have my first phone conversation with my coach today.
2022-03-09
Regular diet
Being in a good and regular food diet makes me feel good and aware of what is good for my health.
2022-03-04
Great tracking app
Really useful and full of information, also allows your coach to track your progress, really easy to set up and use and navigate
2022-03-03
Good but no contact
I still haven’t been contacted by anyone to discuss the program
2022-02-17
In general good app. But some bugs…
I have enjoyed the process and learning is quite good. However the weight chart seems to be stuck in week 11 which is a bit annoying when I’m in week 20 and FAR lower than week 12!!!
Also the quiz should help you see which question you get wrong, not making you repeat 10 each time to work it out.
2022-02-16
Excellent in every way a life line !
Just having prepared myself with app and email
The App is far more easy to access and enjoy
Thankfully I prepared before we were all struck down with covid however I’m
Finding it very hard to get back on track so will be honest
This easy to use app for me with a learning difficulty will allow me to do that
2022-02-13
A waste
I’ve been using this app for about 3 weeks. Seems they only want your details and habits. NO support texts or tel. call received from them. I did lesson 1 and the rest remain locked. Not worth the effort with them. I’ll continue on my own. Maybe the NHS should know this app is worthless and as my doctor referred this to me I’ll be letting him know.

Looking forward to feedback on my entries
Very user friendly app, I was already logging my food on another app before being diagnosed with Diabetes, so didn’t mind the duplication. Activity entries are made easier by being able to link to other health apps.
Looking forward to some feedback and advice on my entries but maybe I have to finish the lessons first? So some guidance on how quickly we’re meant to complete these would be useful. Impressed on the whole, I hope it helps me to reverse my condition.
2022-02-05
Helpful and Informative
I will only say one thing about the Oviva app that it is a life saver, literally! It has greatly helped my health and given me knowledge about nutrition and exercise. I have benefited hugely from using it. My coach is a dream. Thank you Oviva!
2022-02-04
Great
Good for learning even though I have a level 4 in Obesity and Diabetes it’s teaching me more in-depth topics in correlation to Diabetes and Obesity only problem I am inundated with other things to do so my time is limited.
2022-02-02
Oviva
Easy to use. I’m finding it a useful tool to keep me on track to losing weight.
2022-01-31
Oviva App
I’m new to the App and trying it out before I actually start the diet. It’s easy on the eye, and simple to use, and the feature where one can photograph a plate of food, to log a meal is super simple. I have not used all of the features of the app, but so far so good.
2022-01-25
Essential tool for those who wish to control their blood glucose levels
This app brings together all those things that I need to control and where necessary limit in my diet and my general lifestyle including particularly activity. I find it extremely easy to navigate and use. I’m actually looking forward to tomorrow’s to do list!
2022-01-21
Rana
This app helped me not only continue my weight loss journey but also stay on track
2022-01-20
Easy to follow
The app is easy to navigate and steps are easy to follow. Nice & simple but capture the relevant information to improve health and fitness. I look forward to updating & if I forget I get reminders and can edit if necessary.

Great app love it just hope I’m using it right

Like the entire process albeit I don’t understand why some to do goals set ie the number of steps taken a day is not matched to the recorded steps. The Lessons are good and very informative

Diet review
Fantastic app keeps me on track with my eating and fluid in take
2021-11-25
Works well
I would like to be able to copy and paste meals, when they are similar each day.
2021-11-23
Good idea
I like the app and it’s a good idea to keep you focused but I’ve not had a coach assigned yet so a bit lost with everything at present.
2021-11-16
Adjusting
As to what my input is with regards to tapping icons to relate to my meal.
If I decided I needed a snack as I’m human there is nowhere to add this.
There are no emojis to let you know I’m unwell either which would account for slow progress on the weeks activities and log ins.

OVIVA Review
Thank you OVIVA for always being pro-active in your supporting me in helping me with Pre - Diabetes …. I have managed to modify my diet a lot👍
2021-11-03
Really easy to use
Allows me to focus on what I’m eating. Support and reminders are good. Could do with options to log snacks.
2021-10-25
Wouldn’t recommend
After a month signed up still no contact and a friend hasn’t even had an apt for her first contact yet, if you’re a vegan there are no options to select food types other than meat dairy eggs so it looks like you’re just eating carbs and vegetables.
2021-10-19
5 Star app.
I’m loving this app. Really informative, a great tool for reminding me to do things, and very easy to navigate. It’s really helping me with what I want to achieve.

Oviva
It’s a good app but sick of pointless reminders to log drinks and meals. I’m on it! Maybe a pensioner has a different time frame.

Don’t know what’s going on
I was referred to one of their programmes. I completed all the initial steps and was told they would get in touch. I heard nothing for around 2 weeks so I chased. I was told my survey had been reviewed and that they were waiting for an appointment to become available. I was not given a timeframe for when to expect an appointment, but now another 2 weeks on, I would have at least expected some sort of update. I was looking forward to using the app, but now feeling disappointed. Please sort out whatever the issue is.
2021-09-23
App fine support non existent
Have been on the Oviva program over 4 months now. The app is fine and I’ve lost around 50lbs but this has been self motivated with pretty much zero support 2 calls in first week and nothing since. Then they changed the “expert” to a new one who booked a call with me. No call . Appalling service for this healthcare referred program. Will continue my weight loss and health journey on my own back as I have done these past 17 weeks but will no longer waste my time with Oviva and instead will use my iPhone and fitness tracker watch app to log it all for my own records rather than log it on an app that’s supposed to give you support and instead you get none. Oviva healthcare you are a disgrace
2021-09-16
Very helpful
Well that’s my 1st week of my food log .. I’m not going to lie it’s hard when most of the time I eat because I’m bored .. so hopefully this will get back on the right tracks 👍🏻
2021-09-11
App Review
Really like the App. Would have liked somewhere to write one or two lines of let’s say general text away from where/when you enter what you have eaten.
2021-09-08
Great little App!
I was apprehensive about using yet another App to help me with my health issues but I have to say that this one has really surprised me! So easy to use - love that you can take pics of your meals rather than write everything down and it is really comprehensive without you realising your doing the work - simple bits of data collected and gives you lots of support which is fantastic! The tech support for the App is fab too - really friendly and down to earth! It motivates you to keep going!!
2021-08-20
You are on your own
This is basically a diet log and links to several basic information about nutrition, exercise and habits which effects your body. If you are expecting any sort of coaching, personal motivation etc, your dog can be more useful. They set a telephone appointment, this is my 4th day, no calls, no replies in the chat room of the app etc.
If you are already motivated, willing to do some reading and keep a good log of your efforts, this app might help. I don’t recommend any ongoing subscription with the hope of a personalised service. You are on your own.
2021-08-08
Excellent
The App has certainly made me think about my lifestyle.
I am learning about diabetes and food values. This is making me think about food in more depth and I have started food planning with healthier choices.
2021-07-17
Love this app
I am fully utilising the app to track my progress. Love the graphs, it’s easy to use and I enjoy the support from other users.

Fitbit connectivity issues
My Fitbit was connected and worked fine but has stopped picking up my steps. Any ideas? Apart from that is a really useful app
2021-05-30
Oviva
I’m slowly getting use to using this app I could have done with some advice on using it as I’m not that good with apps but I’m an getting there slowly and I feel the idea of taking photos of what I eat does make me stop and look at what I’m eating so it’s definitely working I am losing weight
2021-05-20
Just the start
Have just finished the first week and it’s been really easy so I will continue and I look forward to my time with the dietician. The logging of data is making me reflect and realise all my bad habits. I hope to review again in a month’s time.
2021-04-20
Great app
This is a great app, super useful. I think it would be better if it enabled you to track other things like headaches and hormones etc, all of these also affect my mood and eating habits. Otherwise, it’s really handy!
2021-03-23
Fantastic app
What a fantastic app, easy to use and add in all my reminders. Motivates me to do well and succeed. I was even able to add reminders to take my tables at certain times of the day. Great way to monitor key information like weight, blood pressure and the like. This is definitely the best app to use.
2021-03-04
Almost there.
I would like to see more options for healthy snacks i.e nuts, fruits etc and also to be able to have options on sweeteners eg honey etc. thanks
2021-02-26
Coping with stress
When I first looked I thought it was to complicated for me . But as time went on I became more interested. I started very slowly and gradually to become more relaxed with the app and didn’t see it as a threat , I’m pleased that I part completed it and already had a good knowledge of foods and nutritional values , so all in all it’s a good easy to understand app .
2021-02-08
This app is brilliant
This app is absolutely brilliant and so easy to follow. No more having to write things down.I really love it and hope I can still use it after my 9 month course. Thank you
2021-02-03
Oviva review
I find the app is very useful at advising me what I should be eating. I did not realise I was eating too big portions and I am starting to enjoy my daily walk. One thing I would like to point out is the app asks for time spent walking, this could be misleading because I could walk half a mile in 1 hour because I often stop and talk. Hence I log my steps. Good app makes me feel I must do it.
2020-12-04
Handy little App
I am new to this App, but, so far, enjoying the process of logging food, fluid, weight, activity etc.
You can even just log a picture of your food rather than just describing it in words.
It can be a little ‘clunky’ - some loggable items have to be dug out rather than being immediately visible.
The App makes me think about what I am eating, and when.
I’ve used the Chat function - worked well.
Learning modules useful and informative.
So far, so good.
Let’s hope it helps with long term aim of reducing BMI, waist measurement and weight - to get rid of this ‘pre-diabetic’ label
Oh - and you can link your Fitbit, so you are not logging twice
2020-12-01
Oviva
The app is so easy to use and helps 100%. Makes life so simple and encourages you to think about what your eating and drinking.
2020-11-16
Easy to use
I have just started using this app after joining the diabetes prevention programme and I have found it great to use. It’s very easy to navigate around and very straightforward.
I would definitely recommend this app as it’s helped me to take stock of where my issues are in relation to the possibility of developing Type 2 diabetes. This app has been a great motivator to make the changes I need to make.
2020-10-21
Useful app
Very useful app makes easy access and communication with dieticians and provides helpful learning resources and advice.
I would give it 5 stars if I could submit a picture of my meals without having my whole picture profile accessed by the app, and it would have been also more helpful if we connect any fitness app or watch!
2020-04-07
Excellent support tool
The app is excellent. Simple and straightforward. I hope the developers don’t succumb to adding more flexibility at the expense of complexity. I t would be really, really useful to be able to record alcohol intake. A small request would be to easily change between pounds instead of just kilos. This is superb in conjunction with my dietician.
2020-03-19
Paul T
Excellent but could do with tweaking up a bit ie, when it states other light you should be able to put in what you have done , diy, shopping etc.
2020-03-18
Tony Smith. Tongham Surrey
With a person outside of the home checking your meals you are getting an honest opinion of what you’re eating and doing right or wrong. Since I’ve had a coach hazel I have lost 1 stone in weight my blood count has gone down from 93 to under 60 since January I’m heading in the right direction thanks to her
2020-03-05
Fabulous support
Hi this App has been a god send, for anyone struggling with their weight this is amazing for logging your food daily, either with text or pic, but most of all the support you receive is second to none, you never feel alone on your journey to a healthier life x
2019-03-21
Future developments?
I really like how straight forward the app is, and easy to update on the go.
I’d find it really useful if there was an optional text field aligned with the logs for activity and blood sugar to record additional info like “where I cycled”, intensity, any narrative around outlying BS readings etc.
The group I go to has an older demographic and there’s a good proportion that don’t have smart phones (and don’t want one), and are missing out - maybe consider developing a web portal so they can access via a generic desktop computer?
I really like it, and hope the feedback is helpful to the developers...
2018-08-18
Great App
This app is great. Tried lots of different ways to lose weight and this has been the only one that’s been successful. Worked through all the underlying issues that led to overeating with dietician and now have a long term strategy to stay at a healthy weight. Highly recommended!!
2017-10-23
Brilliant!
This app has helped me so much, from monitoring my exercise and weight to the help received from my dietician about what I eat. Being able to send pictures of the food and meals I eat and getting feedback and advice has been invaluable.
