Monitor Your Weight ٤+

Love the app, does more and with a better display of data than other trackers I’ve tried. While my particular smart scale (Wyze) can’t connect to this app directly both connect to Apple Health which means my scale will automatically update the app through Apple Health which is very convenient. I only have one minor criticism and one suggestion. The criticism is that when you turn your phone sideways to view the graphs in landscape, you must keep the phone angled up. If you tilt it down (for more comfortable viewing or to lay it on a table)the screen goes back to portrait which is a bit irritating. Every other app that automatically switches between landscape and portrait will allow you to rotate the screen to landscape and maintain that view even when you set the phone down. The suggestion is that you provide a graph and/or data display on the home page of body measurements. Being able to add body measurements is nice but you have to call up the data screen and scroll through it looking for individual measurements amongst all of the weight data. Neither of these two issues are deal breakers, I really like the app and believe these two things could further improve an already great app.

I have about 5 weight tracking apps running, after losing data from 1, I became a little paranoid of losing all my hard work so I added a couple. 😁 I love this one above them all for the range of options it allows.
Some apps have just as many but don’t teach you how to use them and how they impact your tracking. While a beginner can still use it and the basics it provides the History and Graphs sections are really great for those of use who like to dig into the details. Showing what category your BMI is placing in the way this app does allows me to see how much farther to go to get to the next category by pound where others are too general.
I also really love the journal section which gives each entry a red, yellow or green to warn you should you begin to slide. A warning far ahead of doing damage to your weight loss goals and that too graphs and keeps a history.
I really love the feature that allows you to have your pounds lost set outside of the app on the icon. It’s nice to be reminded of how far you’ve come when your not even in the app. I could go on but those are a few of the features I love about this app.

What I like about this app is that you can create more than one profile. I am setting small weight loss goals so I can celebrate along the way. So when I finish one, I create a new profile with a new goal. I also created an overall weight loss profile so I can see my whole journey, although some may find this tedious because it means logging the weight twice. The app is password protected and also gives % of how close you are to your goal and has graphs. It also syncs with your other apps like Apple Health or FitnessPal if you use those. There is also a place to add some notes when you enter your weight, in case you want to say what is going well or what isn’t, or what your goal is, etc.

Turns out I have been using this app since 2012, which I didn’t realize. It was interesting to look back through my entries to see my journey and when I’ve done well and when I haven’t.
