What NHS-Recommended Weight Loss Apps Typically Offer
Apps promoted or endorsed by national health services — such as those available in the UK — generally focus on calorie counting, physical activity logging, and behaviour-change programmes. Many are free to download, and some are available on both iOS and Android. Whether a particular app is good depends largely on what you need it to do.
The gap for people on GLP-1 medicines
General weight loss apps are designed for a broad audience. They are not typically built around the specific realities of being on a weekly injectable medicine like Mounjaro (tirzepatide) or Wegovy (semaglutide). Those realities include:
- Tracking which dose strength you are on and when your next injection is due
- Logging injection sites and rotating them correctly
- Recording side effects — nausea, fatigue, changes in appetite — to discuss with your prescriber
- Managing nutrition when food noise is low and appetite is unpredictable
- Understanding whether your progress is on track, plateauing, or shifting
A general calorie-counting app will not capture any of this. For a broader look at what a purpose-built option can offer, see our guide to choosing a weight loss app for your GLP-1 journey or explore free weight loss app options worth considering.
Availability across devices
If you are specifically looking for an NHS weight loss app on Android, the NHS App Library lists vetted digital tools available on both major platforms. Availability and recommendations do change, so it is worth checking the current NHS App Library directly for the most up-to-date list of endorsed tools.

Tracking the right four numbers — weight, waist, protein and dose — turns a noisy chart into a clear story. That's the loop GLP-1 users keep coming back for.

Point your camera at any meal and let our AI do the rest. Breakfast, doses, weight, mood all tracked in seconds.
Tracking Your GLP-1 Journey with GLP Trackr
GLP Trackr is built specifically for people already prescribed Mounjaro or Wegovy — which means every feature is designed around the week-by-week reality of life on a GLP-1 medicine.
The most relevant feature for progress tracking is the weight and body tracking dashboard: log your weight each morning, add measurements, and watch your transformation charted week by week. Rather than a single number on a scale, GLP Trackr gives you a fuller picture — weight trends, plateau forecasting, and correlation insights that show how sleep, food, and activity relate to your results over time. Progress on these medicines is rarely perfectly linear, and having that context matters.
Alongside weight tracking, the daily check-in captures mood, energy, food noise, and sleep in about 30 seconds — giving you a record you can actually bring to your prescriber appointments. The app also generates a doctor report, summarising your journey in a format designed for those conversations.
GLP Trackr is free to try and available on both the App Store and Google Play, so it works whether you are on iOS or Android.
For a wider overview of tracking everything from doses to nutrition on your GLP-1 journey, visit our weight loss tracking hub. If you are also exploring the structured eating guidance that can support your progress, the NHS weight loss plan approach is worth reading alongside your prescriber's advice.
GLP Trackr provides general information and tracking tools — it is not a substitute for guidance from your prescriber or doctor, who knows your full medical history. If you have any concerns about your progress, symptoms, or treatment, always speak with your healthcare professional.

The Most Advanced GLP-1 Brain Ever Built.
The first AI built exclusively for GLP-1 weight loss. Every insight, every meal plan, every prediction trained on one thing only: helping you get the most out of your medication.
Knows Your Cycle
GLPIQ tracks where you are in your injection cycle and adjusts everything around it: lighter meals on nausea days, higher protein when appetite returns, and smarter targets as your medication level shifts.
Predicts Before You Feel It
GLPIQ learns your personal side effect patterns over time. After a few cycles, it starts warning you the morning before a rough day — and adjusts your meal plan automatically.
Finds Your Golden Dose
GLPIQ analyses every dose you've been on: weight loss rate, side effects, food noise, mood, protein adherence and tells you which dose gave you the best results. No other app does this.

Frequently asked questions.
Apps recommended through national health services such as the UK NHS are generally free to download. Availability and features vary, so checking the NHS App Library directly will give you the most current information on which tools are endorsed and at what cost.
General NHS-recommended apps focus on calorie counting and activity and are not built for GLP-1 medicine users. They do not typically include dose logging, injection-site tracking, or side-effect monitoring — features that matter when you are on a weekly injectable prescription medicine.
Most apps listed in the NHS App Library are available on both Android and iOS. Check the NHS App Library for current availability, as the list of endorsed tools is updated periodically.
People on Mounjaro or Wegovy benefit from an app that tracks doses, injection sites, side effects, weight trends, and nutrition — particularly protein intake. A general calorie counter will not cover the specific needs that come with a weekly injectable prescription medicine.
GLP Trackr is built specifically for Mounjaro and Wegovy users. It combines weight and progress tracking with dose logging, injection-site rotation, side-effect recording, and nutrition logging — all in one place, designed around the reality of GLP-1 life.
