Re: WW official PDA program

[Guest guest]

Okay what makes me mad is that I'm an online subscriber and I don't have

access! How unfair is that? I pay for their service!

Ah well, maybe it's just being beta tested by people who have leaders to

help them out with it. I'll email and ask them before going off my rocker.

Haha!

Ok, I'll bite. What is the difference between etools and subscribing to WW

online?

Re: WW official PDA program

Wow! You got a good deal on your PDA! I was able to remove a few

programs and after installing the WW program, I still have about 4

MB free. One of these days I'll get a bigger one. LOL

I found out about the PDA program by going to the message board with

the eTools topic. Someone had posted about it, mentioning that you

had to be an eTools subscriber. She also mentioned that she had

posted about it on one of the regular boards but the moderators had

removed the link. I did two things. The first was to send a

message to WW via the website saying that I had just signed up with

eTools and wasn't able to find the " WW on the Go " link to download

the PDA program. The second thing was to dig through a few days of

messages on the General board and came across the link to download

the program. Shortly after I found that link, I received a reply

from WW with the link. I figured that since they did email me the

link, it wasn't a " bad " thing to post it to the group... because it

still only works if you are subscribed to eTools. According to one

of the discussion boards, it should be available to people who are

subscribed to WW Online pretty soon. (Although it seems kind of

weird that it isn't available to all of the subscribers.)

I thought they were the same thing.

Tory and anyone else,

I actually downloaded a program a while ago and will send it to anyone

interested. I don't really know what it is, since I don't have a PDA, I just

downloaded it in case someone else needed it.

OH, thank you Willow. I didn't realize there was much difference. I got

the code from the book, so I suppose I subscribe to etools. Its much more

expensive if you don't go to the meetings and subscribe to the WW online.

They really should include the same options for both.

Teres

Re: Re: WW official PDA program

Etools is for members that attend meetings. You need to get a code number

from your program book you get at the meetings in order to register with

etools.

WW Online is for people who do not attend meetings. I don't know what all

you get with WWOnline, but with Etools you get a ton of stuff. I just

cancelled my membership, though, as it was $9.95 a month I'd rather spend on

clothes. lol I really only used it for the recipe builder.

Hey Lyn,

I agree about the Etools. I tried it when they were giving the 2 weeks free,

but didn't really think it was that great. I thought WWonline and Etools used

the same stuff though, maybe I am wrong.

That is true. I hadn't thought about that.

I think they use the same stuff too, but I think the Online might get more???

I'd think they'd have to explain the program a bit and that info would have to

be on there.
