Weight Diary 4+

I don’t often write reviews but this app is a little cracker. Been using it for over two years to help balance out my bad habit of yoyoing my weight. It’s easy to customise and connect to a scale if you so wish. You can see how much you are losing graphically as well as your calorie deficit and time to goal. The notes facility is handy as is the ability to see your weight over different periods so you can see how your weight was at different times of year - or who you spent time with in my case! There is a nutrients app that compliments it but I use FitBit to food journal. Either is probably a good choice with lots of info in their food databases.

This app has been very useful for me (I have managed to hit my goal weight range today). The daily reminder to check (and input) my weight has made me keep my weight goals in mind and resulted in me taking less risks with my diet. The ‘notes’ have enabled me to look back at the day before and record anything that worked particularly well or anything that I believe may be responsible for weight gain. I find I work better this way - assessing each day retrospectively once I know the consequences of the actions rather than recording every single thing that I am doing as I go.

What I would like to see now though is 1. The option of coloured BMI bands on the charts so that you can see a visual demonstration of how close you are to the next BMI. 2. A ‘maintenance’ band (again visually represented on the charts) which highlights the spread of weights that you are happy to be and 3. congratulates you daily for maintaining your weight within that band (now that I have gotten my ‘congratulations you achieved your goal weight’ my hope is to never see that particular symbol again but I would like something else a mood enhancer for those days when maintaining my weight is taking effort). If these features were added to the app then it would get 5 stars from me.

Been using the free app for the last 3 weeks which has been really useful. Upgraded recently as it suggested more functionality. Initially the maths was all wrong and as I still had the free version as well I have been using both. However got in touch with support who sorted it straight away, so now very pleased and happy.
The graphics are very good and it is so helpful to see progress - or not - every day. Definitely worth having.
*** Update - been using for almost 2 months. It is so helpful to be able to plot each days weight and to see progress - including the days when I put on weight! Also the overview is very encouraging. A great app.
