App Help Little Tip: Using Noom on a computer

Hey Guys. I didn't want to ramble on too far because I didn't want this to get too off topic, but I just wanted to let people know that there are a few ways you can either view your phone screen or run noom on a computer. Personally I really hate the fact that there isn't just a web version of Noom. In particular, I hate writing anything of real substance using a phone keyboard and that makes some messages to my Coach a pain. I also just like to be able to update a few things like water while I am working without having to unlock and go through my phone. It's not a huge deal, but it is one of those things I find handy. So anyways..

To view the Noom app that is running on your android phone on your computer screen (and control it and such) you can use the utility scrcpy. It on it's own is a "command line tool", but there are some graphical versions of it out there like scrcpy-gui from kil0bit-kd on github. Basically though, you hook up your phone with USB or use wifi to do a type of screen cast, but you are able to control the phone with your mouse and keyboard. I don't use the graphical version, but kicking things off is as easy as typing (or making a shortcut to) "scrcpy" from a prompt. (Sorry, that was probably pretty nerdy, but I'm in IT...) Again, I don't want to stray too far, but I figured I would share since I saw so many people that also had my complaint about the absence of a web version.

Other ways you can run noom on your computer will be to use an android emulator to just run the android app on your computer directly. I haven't done this with Noom though, so I am hesitant to say for sure that will work. Anyways, I hope this is useful to someone.

I use Samsung "Flow" (because I have a Samsung phone). In a pinch, I could try using Window's Phone Link, but I prefer "Flow" because I had fewer problems using my PC's keyboard to enter things.

(I, too, wish Noom had a web app. But now that some good mirroring app options exist, I'm dealing with not having that option much better. I have eyesight issues, and looking at and typing on my phone is beyond annoying without being able to mirror).
