Ratings and reviews

I enjoyed this Project Power program a lot! The app is user friendly, the videos are short and informative, the scan scale is amazing, the scan watch is pretty and functional, although it counts fewer steps than my Fitbit. I found the food recording log helpful and it made me mindful of my daily intakes. I reached my weight goal and will keep it. The group meeting and discussion were helpful too with Coach Trey's guidance and encouragements! Thank you ADA!!

I really enjoyed participating in Project Power program. This app was a huge part of my daily use. The app was very helpful to use to track my meals, weight, activity, etc. What I felt was very helpful was the daily carb counting and calorie intake. It really helped me control my diet and lose weight. This app is highly recommended.

Coach Yael with Project Power was amazing. The program was great in teaching me about life changing habits to improve my health. I'm not currently diabetic, but I benefited from the lessons. It changed my whole way of thinking about food, diet and health. It was inspiring to learn from other students. Coach Yael could not have been more encouraging or better at facilitating and teaching. I'm not the best student, but Coach Yael was the best teacher/coach anyone could ask for!
