Voy Weight Loss Review: Six Months on the UK Service

Last updated: 19 September 2026

By Stiv · Design, technology and personal finance

I have paid for Voy myself every month since March 2026, which is six months at the time of writing. This Voy weight loss review is based on that, and not on a press sample, a free trial or a briefing.

Health servicesVoy · Six months in

Six months paying for Voy, and what I would tell a friend.

So this Voy weight loss review covers the service and only the service: the sign-up, the app, whether a human answers, whether the box turns up, what happens to the bill, and the small print under the money-back promise. Voy prescribes prescription-only medicines, and UK advertising rules bar anyone naming those to the public, so I name none of them anywhere here. What is left is the half most write-ups skip, which is whether the subscription wrapped around the prescription is actually well run.

This is an opinion piece. Views expressed are the author’s own and do not constitute professional advice.

This is not medical advice. Voy’s own clinicians decide who is eligible, and nothing here claims any treatment is safe, suitable or effective for anyone. If you have questions about your health, take them to your GP.

Three draws are live right now, including ยฃ5,000 via adidas until 30 September. Here is the honest arithmetic on all three, plus the one that closed.

Last updated: 20 July 2026

I have used Sprive with my Nationwide mortgage since October 2021, making regular overpayments through the app, so this is written from about four years of real use.

This is not financial advice. It is one homeowner's experience, shared to help you make your own call.

So you spotted the Sprive advert on the telly and wondered what that mortgage app actually is. Here is the short answer: yes, the mortgage app on the Channel 4 advert is Sprive, and it helps you chip away at your mortgage a little faster. Below, I explain what it does, whether it is legit, and what it is like after four years of real use.

Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
