NutriBullet Balance 4+

I’ve had my blender for 10 months, and I use it daily. Took me about 6 months to figure out how to input my own recipes, which is a pain, but worth it. For the past month the Bluetooth sensor in the blender itself hasn’t worked, and I’m finally on a backorder list for a new unit under the warranty.

The blender still works, just manually, but this is where my recipes are kept. So I was surprised yesterday morning when they were all gone. The only recipes left were the ones I had manually added, and there had been no app update in the past 24 hours. After thinking about it, reading all the reviews where others are experiencing this issue, and fiddling around, I logged out of the app. Lo and behold, THE MISSING RECIPES RETURNED. Minus, of course, my custom recipes. I can’t login anymore, but I have my favorite recipes back where they belong.

Other than that, the screen size is not optimized for X phones, the recipes are limited and I’ve seen very few added in the past year. Not the greatest app in the world for this game-changing blender that challenges Ninja’s price point. If they plan to take this blender to the next level, a lot of love is needed for this app.

I am having the same problem as another reviewer: all data except Create Your Own recipes are gone at random!! I open the app after connecting my blender as usual and all data is gone! I am still logged into my account but all of my saved Favorites and in general searching through the A-Z section, only 2, sometimes none, recipes are showing! I have to delete the app, re-download it, log back in and sometimes that doesn’t even solve the problem. I just did this actually and all the recipes are there not logged in. I just logged in and all my saved favorites are gone. The concept of this Bluetooth smart weighing sensor is great since I don’t need measuring cups and the animation is helpful as it fills up as you fill your cup and is awesome for precise calorie tracking. Very convenient but all of this awful technical difficulties makes it not worth it. PLEASE fix this data wipe issue!!!

I really wanted to like this blender and app. Sigh😞. Too many shortcomings so I am taking it back for a refund. I will wait for v2. Too speedy for glitches on basic stuff. To top of mind issues 1) if it doesn’t blend fully the first time it won’t track if blend again. Should be continuous or a way to manually make sure it counts that smoothie for tracking. 2) I have tried a dozen times to save a smoothie recipe. I have created my own recipe and I don’t see a save button and when I leave the screen it loses it. Too hard make it simpler. 3) I have yet to figure out how to add an item to my pantry. 4) Thought I would like the tracking but I don’t want to have to use my iPhone SE every time I’m ready to make a smoothie. 5)Integration with Apple my health is nice 6)connection with phone can be wonky and makes you start all the way over if it turns off arrgghh. Should have a way to pick up where left off.
