Is there an app that has really helped you exercise and lose weight?

I use Strava, too. I'm connected to my friends, and the peer pressure/support helps.

This doesn’t exactly answer your question, but it’s related so I’ll throw it out there.

I have a hard time sticking with a specific exercise plan all on my own for more than 6 weeks or so. It’s all very mental for me, and my motivation to continue doing the same thing lags once it becomes routine and boring. We bought a treadmill that pairs with iFit early in the pandemic. There are thousands of workouts to choose from at every intensity level, including non running workouts, challenges, etc. I find it easier to stay motivated to do cardio when a trainer that I like is talking to me and explaining the reasoning behind specific things we’re doing, distracting me by talking about the landscape and history of the area that we are (virtually) running through, etc. Bonus is that the videos are set in beautiful landscapes all over the world, so I’m not just staring at a wall or numbers on a screen.

I still run outside, especially when the weather is nice, but I find myself looking forward to doing the next iFit session in a series or trying a new series when I finish with one, and that for me has been good motivation to stick with it. I’ve never used a Peloton Tread (or bike), but I assume it’s generally the same kind of motivation system.

Count my as another using MyFitnessPal and happy with it. I've discovered that I used to consumer 400+ more calories daily than I'd realized. Also, I wasnt eating enough protein. I've since found a happy medium with respect to macros to maximize fat loss.

Peloton app. I use it for spin (non=peloton bike) strength, core, running and stretching.

The Weight Watchers app has been a game changer for me.

I love Aaptiv for workouts. It’s inexpensive and really diverse. LoseIt for calorie/meal tracking

Apple Watch + Simple app + Lose It app.

Peloton for exercise and MyFitnessPal for food tracking.

I have a fitbit and use it mainly for the alarm options and that is about it. It is tied to my Peloton account so it can upload my Peloton classes. I tried the Fitbit premium for free for a month, it is nothing special. The classes are not even close to the Peloton classes in terms of effectiveness or coaching. The food tracking on the fitbit is clunky. I used MyFitnessPal and tied the FITBIT to MFP because MFP is so much easier to use.
