more Did 3 scans on day one, which showed 24%, 46%, and 32%. This app has one purpose… to precisely measure body fat % to track. Even if the info isn’t 100% accurate, it should be repeatable and precise so I can at least see the change even if the absolute numbers are off a bit.Immediately cancelled subscription. Regretted this purchase immediately.

Requires subscription to do a scan. Useless without scan, just a bunch of advertisements. At least give a few scans so users can see if product worth the price, and determine difficulty of scan process.

Agree with other reviewer. This application is inaccurate and shouldn’t be used to track progress. I was able to get a variation of 42% just by changing the lightening.

Highly inaccurate in calculating body fat. I’m a bit surprised the Mayo Clinic puts their name behind this. I was skeptical before I downloaded it — how can you analyze body fat from photos alone?The first time I used the app, it registered my body fat level at 20%. I had my personal trainer measure my body fat the same day and his machine calculated my body fat level at 16%. After a lot of work in the gym, my body fat is down to 11% but the app not says it’s 22%. Perhaps the app doesn’t work for muscular people?
