Ratings and Reviews
Updated: It will take a while to figure out
Updated: After numerous steps, I did manage to find the way to add my statistics. The developer reached out to me in a polite and friendly way. I still think the app is more difficult than necessary to figure out for all the data. Perhaps find somebody on the development team’s grandma and make it so *she* can figure it out. 😝
Previous: I've been fooling with this app for about 45 minutes now. I cannot figure how to input my measurements manually. The app is unnecessarily complicated, unintuitive, and not user-friendly.

To manually input your measurements, please follow these steps: Tap the connected device "Body Fat Scale" listed under "My device" or tap the "Start measurement" under the dashboard "Weight" card, then it will take you to the measurement page of the body fat scale. Then tap on the "..." button in the upper right corner of the screen, and you will see the "Manual input" button.

Messes up Bluetooth
This app somehow messes up the Bluetooth connectivity on my phone (both 13 pro and 14 pro). If you are having drop outs when playing music over BT (car, headphones , doesn't matter) you can probably fix it by removing Bluetooth access from this app and rebooting your phone.
I spent months frustrated with BT dropouts. All music apps, in my car, multiple BT headphones all had dropouts at random times. I even wasted the money upgrading my 13 pro to a 14 pro thinking I had a hardware problem, and imagine my frustration when the problem happened on the new phone. I finally found advice online to disable all Bluetooth access and turn on apps one at a time. It turns out when this app has access and I’ve used the scale a few times the dropouts come back. I’ve since found other people in message threads about this problem who have tracked it to this app.
I was previously using the now outdated Renpho app when I found this problem. I went months without using the scale and recently decided to try again with this new Renpho Health app. Same problem. Weighed in 3 times and had Bluetooth dropouts again despite not having a single drop out since I stopped using the old app.

Works, but could be better
It doesn’t use the WiFi in the scale to do background updates. You have to open the app to get the latest readings onto your phone and piped to the other apps you are actually using to monitor the data. It shouldn’t check frequently to save battery in the scale and the phone; so, having the check frequency settable would be good. I would probably pick the once a day…
The app user can’t remove the annoying and time consuming weight and BMI animations when you configure the scale. They are cute the first couple of times, but a waste of time after that. Speaking of BMI, it is nearly total junk science. It’s just your weight times your height. Given that height doesn’t change, it’s exactly the same as tracking your weight. It’s also a poor indicator for individual health: if you don’t believe me, compute the BMI for any NFL football team. The BMIs will claim they are all unhealthy! BMI has some usefulness for statistical analysis, but it’s too wildly variable to use to assess an individual’s health.

Hi Herbie,
You can use the scale without your phone. The scale can store measurements. When you open the app and turn on the Bluetooth and GPS(for Android) and wake up the scale next time, the stored data will be uploaded to your account automatically.
Meanwhile, if the app only displays the weight and BMI, the app will pop up a window for you to confirm. So when measuring, make sure you stand barefoot on the scale until the measurement is complete.
By the way, regarding your suggestion, we will forward it to our technical department to evaluate. Sincerely, Renpho Customer Service Team
