Abstract: Obesity and overweight are considered a health threat globally. Saudi Arabia is a country that has a high percentage of people suffering from obesity. These people can be helped to lose weight through the usage of mobile apps as these apps can collect users’ personal information. These collected data is used to provide precise and personalized weight loss advices. However, weight loss apps must be user friendly, provide data security and user privacy protection. In this paper, we analyze the usability, security, and privacy of a weight loss app. Our main aim to clarify the data privacy and security procedure and test the usability level of the new Arabic weight loss app ‘Akser Waznk’ that is developed considering the social and cultural norms of Saudi users.
