  • Dead APP

    This APP no longer opens. When I deleted it and tried to reload it all I got was a black screen. Sad because it had been useful while working with patients in the past.
  • What Happened?

    It worked great when I first downloaded it. Now it won't even open. I have downloaded it and reinstalled it a few times and it still doesn't work. I will come back and give it five stars once you get this glitch fixed.
  • Good while it lasted

    Found this app very helpful for a couple of years, but it no longer works with IOS 8. Won't even open.
  • Cannot input data to calculate BMI

    I saw another post that says it doesn't work if you are on an active call and maybe this is why. Personally I think it should work all the time. The App Support also does not work. I do hope the problem is fixed soon.
  • Only works when not on a call

    Got an issue where the input fields are non-responsive if you are on a phone call, ie if there is an active banner across the top of the phone. The tech support link for this app is also invalid, so seems abandoned. Prior to this I had used the app okay, long as you are not using your phone for calls or navigation etc.

  • Lol

    Pretty much useless..
    It does not take in to consideration your build or body fat percentage.. Tells me I'm "overweight" I work out 6 days a week and eat fairly well.. If it took these into consideration I would then consider giving this 5 stars.
  • Needs an update

    Time to optimize for iPhone 5 for aesthetics. Otherwise a simple app that works just fine. Gives good advice.
  • Great

    Verry easy to use. For me great work instrument.
  • Paramedical Examiner

    BMI is a highly controversial way of determining whether someone is overweight. A person who does body building could have an obese BMI although having little body fat as muscle is dense and therefore heavy. Nevertheless BMI calculation is standardized by the AMA and is not gender specific. So the reviews criticizing this app based on not liking the results are not fair. This app does what it's designed to do, which is to provide a BMI calculation based on height and weight without prejudice. What the user decides to do with that info is another matter. The app works fine.
