16 Things you Didn’t Know the WW App Could do
Scan, sync, search. Chat, track, share
News flash: Your WW app includes a ton of great tools to help you reach your weight loss and wellness goals. Start with the list below to make sure you're cashing in on all of them!
1. One-tap tracking
When you’re at the grocery store, you can scan the barcode of a packaged food to get its SmartPoints® value. Save it, make it a favourite, or track it on the spot, and view a list of all your scanned items for quick reference.
2. Sync to your activity device
Go smash your weekly FitPoints goal. Just sync your favourite fitness device to the app and it’ll automatically track your activity. Results!
3. Daily recipe suggestions
At the bottom of My Day is Discover Recipes, a treasure trove of delicious ideas. Browse ideas like the Brunch, Dips, Grilled and more. Basically, all the things you want to eat will be found there.
4. 24/7 live Coaching
Have a burning question? Need help with the app? You can chat with a real WW Coach who’s ready to answer any question you may have. (Even at 3 a.m. when you’re standing in front of your fridge.)
5. Support from Siri
iOS users can have Siri help them maintain their healthy habits. Ask Siri to track your breakfast or tell you how many SmartPoints you have left. Over time, Siri will learn your habits and help recommend shortcuts to keep you on track
6. Create recipes
Have a meal you eat regularly? The app has a Create a Recipe feature that lets you save it and quickly track it any time. (No more typing in each ingredient separately.) Have a certain food you eat all the time? Tap the star beside its name and the app will mark it as a Favourite for easy tracking.
7. Weekly topics + skill builders
Every week we pick a scientifically-based topic that we know will help you work myWW. This Weekly Topic, which you can find in your app, is updated every Sunday.
8. Virtual high-fives
Lost 5 lbs? Reached a FitPoints goal? You’ve earned some well-deserved recognition. We’ll send you messages when you accomplish milestones on your journey.
9. Build your community
Our private, members-only community on the WW app is a huge source of inspiration. These are your people—come meet them!
10. Join the Blue Dot Challenge
Ever wondered what those blue dots are on your Journey tab? They represent days in the Healthy Eating Zone, which means you’re on the right track. See if you can earn a streak and post about your #bluedotchallenge success on Connect!
11. Swap recipes
Share your favourite WW recipes via text or email, right in the app. If your friend already has the app installed, the recipe will automatically open so they can save it (and track it) themselves.
12. See your journey
Add your why, track your weight, see your progress, connect with others—it's all here.
13. Meditate with Headspace
Our partnership with Headspace brings mini moments of mindfulness to your wellness journey. Try exclusive–and free–meditations, just for WW members.
14. Work out with Aaptiv
Get access to Aaptiv's equipment-free audio workouts in your WW app. There's something for every activity level!
15. Choose your goals: weight loss or healthy habits
WW is about wellness for your whole life, that’s why on myWW you can choose to lose weight, or maintain your weight while continuing to build healthy habits. Choose your option in Settings.
16. Switch plans
Sometimes you want to try something new. And if you decide that switching plans is what’s best for you, you can do it right in Settings. But we recommend giving it 2 weeks before you make a change. It can take a while to get used to a whole new way of eating and our research shows that two weeks is a good amount of time to adjust.
