Verdict: which one has fewer problems?
Across the latest 1,100 App Store reviews we collected, Lose It! has the lowest share of reviews with a complaint (49%) and MyFitnessPal the highest (68%). The biggest single difference is in UX / design complaints: 37% of MyFitnessPal reviews mention them, vs 13% for Lose It!. Each app's own biggest complaint theme: MyFitnessPal, ux / design (186 reviews); Lose It!, pricing / subscription (91 reviews); Noom, pricing / subscription (115 reviews). Average star rating in the samples ranges from 2.47★ (MyFitnessPal) to 3.23★ (Lose It!). Time span of each sample: MyFitnessPal 164 days (2026-05-09 to 2026-10-19); Lose It! 283 days (2026-01-13 to 2026-10-22); Noom 771 days (2024-09-11 to 2026-10-21). Because MyFitnessPal's sample covers a much shorter period, a single recent update or outage weighs more heavily in its numbers.
