If you choose not to continue your Second Nature subscription, you'll no longer have access to the app. That means you'll lose peer and health coach support, plus access to the educational programs.

Once the two-week trial period is over, we won’t be able to provide a refund for the minimum contract period of the subscription, and you’ll still be liable to pay the full cost of the program for this time. Please read our <link>T&Cs</link> for more information.

Yes, as long as your activity tracker can sync with either Apple Health or Google Fit. If they sync with these programs, then the data can be pulled directly into the Second Nature app.

We love hearing feedback! We're always trying to improve the program and really value your thoughts and ideas for how we could do this. Please get in touch with us through the app via the 'Speak to Customer Support' button on the 'Chat' page. Alternatively, you can click on the chat icon in the bottom right-hand corner of this screen.

We suggest weighing yourself at the same time each day. The best time to do this is just after you've woken up and been to the toilet. It's up to you how often you'd like to weigh yourself, but we don't recommend doing this more than once a day. How you use the app and the tracking tools is entirely up to you, as they are provided solely for your personal use. Note that the information or coaching services you receive from Second Nature is not impacted by your weight tracking in the app.

You can communicate with your coach through the group chat function in the app. We'd encourage you to engage in discussions around the daily learning articles and ask for support from your coach when you need it.

You can access all of the program features through the mobile and tablet app, and a selection of features through the web platform. We're available on both Apple iPhones or iPads and Android phones and tablets. The mobile app is compatible with Apple iPhones running iOS 11.0+ and Android phones running Android 5.0+. While you don't need a smartphone to access the program (you can do most of it through the web platform), there are some additional features, like the meal planner, which are only accessible through the app.

Yes, you can still manually sync your weight by going to the 'My Devices' section within the 'Track' page but you shouldn't need to if you have the app open.

We take data security and your privacy seriously. All reasonable steps are taken to ensure your data is secure. Other members of your group will be able to see your first name and profile picture, but you can choose not to set a picture. No one in your group aside from your coach will be able to see your weight. Second Nature is registered with the UK government's Information Commissioner's Office under registration ZA148098. We're also accredited by the United Kingdom National Health Service (NHS) for holding patient data under the Information Governance Toolkit (we're level 2 compliant).

Your coach will get in contact with your group every day from Monday to Friday. You'll find they tend to be online between 9am and 4.30pm Eastern Standard Time. Coaches receive, on average, 1 new group each week. Therefore, the majority of their time is spent coaching groups through the program.
