Ratings and Reviews
Not taking into account women differences
I feel this app is basing all of its results on men’s ideal fat ratio. As a woman of 33 I am at 29% which is considered acceptable (usually recommendation is between 21% and 32% in my age group with obesity being above 32%). However the app detects me as obese and will go in that section if my fat ratio is above 26% which is men ratio for obesity. Not only that but I am also told that I have an excellent muscle ratio 66% and when you see me it is really impossible to say I am obese. Also the scale itself actually does not mark me as obese, only the app. Overall I think it based all of its calculation on men recommended metrics or take into account any of the actual recommended metrics for women. When you buy this scale it’s usually that you want to know more about your body so having an app like this telling you that you are obese when you’re healthy can be terrible on your own body image and generate or reinforce body dysmorphic disorder.
Ok but agree that it inappropriately gives obese assessment
I wanted to give some reassurance to those who have brought the scales that the app does work. There is some variance in the readings (which you would expect from a device like this) but overall the analysis is good. However, it is also telling me my body type is obese - I am a woman who works out a lot and I have (according to the reading) a normal amount of body fat and a higher than normal muscle mass, so my body fat rate is 26% (standard) and my bmi is 25.3 (slightly overweight by 0.3). However, my body fat assessment has skipped the overweight category and says I’m obese - no idea where this is coming from given my other readings! Anyway, if you ignore that part, the rest works!
The scale doesn’t connect
After the initial 3 days of everything working fine, the connection stopped happening and after the app upgrade it worked again for two days, and after that it’s stopped again. It’s not a reliable piece of kit and would not recommend it.
