Many people are now more health conscious and are watching their weight, and of course if you own a mobile device there is a multitude of mobile apps that can help you keep an important eye on your weight, apps that help you decide on what is the best food to cook, make smarter food choices and so on.

So today we thought we’d bring our weight watching conscious iOS device owning readers three weigh watchers apps for the iOS platform, of course the three apps are our own choice, and you may already have your own favourite weight watchers iOS app, and if you do we would of course love you to share your favourite with us by posting your pick to our comments area below.

So, we’ll kick off with the Weight Watchers Mobile app for the iPhone, pod Touch and Apple iPad, an app that offers the ability to view a new featured recipe daily and save ten favourites, along with the ability to create shopping lists from recipes, health news, exercise information and more.

The Weight Watchers Mobile app enables the user to make smarter food choices via interactive cheat sheets, locate a Weight Watcher meeting in your area, connect with like-minded friends on the Weight Watchers community, update your profile, and upload images, find weight loss tips and get inspired by success stories. The Weight Watchers Mobile app is available for free from iTunes.

Next we have the Weight Watchers Barcode Scanner US app for iOS devices, an app that enables the user to make smarter eating choices when shopping with a barcode scanner to scan the barcodes of food packaging and deliver an accurate PointsPlus value.

The Weight Watchers Barcode Scanner US app takes the guesswork out of shopping for food and enables the user to make a better decision, and delivers access to thousands of brand name foods, and works with the Weight Watchers Mobile app and your Plan Manager. The Weight Watchers Barcode Scanner US app is again a free download from iTunes.

Last of the three we have the Weight Watchers Kitchen Companion app for the Apple iPad, an app that delivers ideas on what to cook and how to cook it, and takes the user through planning a menu, shopping for ingredients and then preparing the meal.

The Weight Watchers Kitchen Companion app allows the user to create custom shopping lists, receive ten featured recipes, save up to ten recipes, view cooking technique videos, set cooking times in recipes, and share recipes with friends and family via Facebook and email. The Weight Watchers Kitchen Companion app is also a free download available from iTunes.
