Noom's inspiring weight loss coaching is now available for iPhone.

Our latest version is a complete overhaul -- a redesign including a new weight graph, updated food logging tools, articles and challenges, and an all new Noom Groups experience. Most importantly, the new Noom Coach helps you make better daily choices that add up to lasting change.

  Dedicated Noomers will immediately notice the new look (and new icon and updated name) of Noom Coach: Weight Loss. We talked a bit about our company-wide rebranding when it rolled out back in July, and we're so excited to finally update our iPhone version to match the look and feel of the rest of Noom's products.

  The next major update is that the new Noom Coach: Weight Loss gives you a few things to focus on each morning on the Coach screen. This daily roadmap of tips and inspiration provides the extra umph you need to push forward day-in and day-out. As you go through the day, complete your tasks and log your meals to get instant feedback and encouragement.

  The new Weight Graph helps you understand where you are on your weight loss journey every time you weigh in. It shows your previous history and projects into the future, showing you week-by-week when you're likely to hit your goal.

  Exclusively for Pro Members, Noom Groups also got a major makeover. Now, your Group's conversations are front and center, and posting is enriched by new comment and liking functionality. Mealtime is still around, so your Group can continue to encourage you to check in and log meals. Above all, in response to Pro feedback on Groups, we're implementing facilitator training and improvements to Noom Group formation.

All around, we think this update will have a profound impact on how our Noomers experience Noom on iPhone. This is positively inspiring weight loss that sticks.

It's been almost a year since we first launched Noom Groups to our Pro members. Since then, Groups have helped tens of thousands of Noomers create lifelong support networks and lose over 500,000 lbs. We've found that Noomers who engage with a group, are significantly more likely to stay on top of their weight loss, change their eating habits, and make permanent changes that lead to sustainable, long-term weight loss.

There was only one problem: Groups was slow and hard to use. Today, with the release of Noom Weight Loss Coach v4.1, we are happy to announce that Noom Groups has received a fresh coat of paint!

The beautiful redesign focuses on making the feed simpler to read and interact with. You can now reply to comments directly in-line, so you can always see who and what you are replying to. We also made it easier to view the profiles of other members in your group, just a single tap on their name or photo will bring you directly to their profile. With all this, our goal was to make it easier for you to use Groups so that we can get out of your way and you can focus on losing weight!

Hey Noomers! Back in mid-June, we launched our Noom Groups feature to many of our Noom Pro members. Just wanted to tell you a bit more about this awesome, new feature. We're really excited and think it's going to help strengthen the Noom Pro experience and make it easier to shed that weight and keep the pounds off!

What Are Groups?

Noom Groups are made up of 10-15 Noomers who come together in the Noom WLC app to help support each other's wellness goals! We're hoping that you'll chat with your group whenever you want and need some support, motivation, accountability, or extra cheers -- whether you want to brag about an awesome workout or share that ice cream that you logged at midnight last night, your group is there for you! Each Group also has its own Group Facilitator to keep the chats lively and make sure that the Group stays welcoming and supportive for all members.

What Do I Do in Groups?

The main Group screen is the chat screen -- you can choose to share logged meals and exercises in the feed, or just post whatever you'd like! Photos of what you've been eating, that awesome, smaller number on the scale, or even your pets. The idea behind groups is that it gives you added accountability and motivation from like-goal-minded noomers. Instead of meeting with a weight loss group once a week, you know that your Group members are always just a quick message away.

When Do I Get Groups?

Groups are currently available to any Noom Pro member whose phone language is set to English or who's in the US. If you're a non-English speaking user, don't fret! We're working hard to roll out the program to everyone. We'd love if you could email us over at [email protected] so we can get an idea of what languages are in demand.

What About Feature Requests?

We'd definitely love to hear them! Please share, vote and comment on existing or new ideas on our Feature Requests forums here.
