  • Crap

    CRAP! Unrealistic calculations! I'm 6ft 260lbs, mostly muscle and says I'm obese. Piece of s@#t
  • Great quick app!!

    Nice and easy.
  • Bmi and that's it

    Needs a place where u can record your daily weight and view it as a graph. Could use a lot of things, which would make it a complete package app. Perhaps a menu option for recording daily exercise, another option for tallying how many fruits/veggies u ate that day. I , personally would love an app that did all these things as well as keeping a record of my monthly cycle. Would be a complete package app. Apps need to do more than just one thing

  • Calculates BMI, no ads.

    No errors. Only one drawback, have to guess how much weight to lose to be "normal" weight.
  • Not accurate or complete

    Yes it does what it's states it does...calculate a BMI based on a height and weight. What it completely ignores is both gender and actual physical fitness of a subject. The same person could be 6ft and 200lbs of fat or of solid muscle with 12% body fat. This app does not distinguish between the 2 telling both they are overweight!

  • Works well

    This app does exactly what it is supposed to do. It tells you what your BMI is as accurately as you would find it anywhere. The link to the NHLBI BMI information and support pages is a big plus and very helpful.
  • Helpful Tool

    Great tool to help me track my progress on my weight loss journey. I just wish it had an optional log feature with a chart to show progress.
  • Question

    Shouldn't you be able to indicate gender?
  • Enthusiasm makes difference

    Thank you for this free calculation
    Fast easy informative, great to encourage others, I'm just out of the
    Obese range, that's all I wanted to know and you help me thanks.
  • Basic

    This app performs a basic calculation and allows input in metric or "standard". It doesn't store any information so you have to enter your height each time you use it. It doesn't support multi tasking so if you switch to another app (or even follow the link to the web site), when you return to the app you have to enter your height again. Learn the formula and use a calculator
