Leave a Review Weight Tracker, BMI Body Fat %
Not for big people
39% body fat is at high as it goes.
The weight isn’t shown with the lowest entry but with the average entry over a few days. If you are on a weight loss journey you want to see the actual last entry not an average.
Needs work to include everyone.whydoesonehavetohaveanickname

Hello, thank you for the thoughtful feedback! 1. First off, apologies for not letting body fat % go higher than 39%. I've fixed that immediately, and the next update (2.65.18) will let you enter as high as 65%. This is being submitted to Apple right now and should be with you within the next 24 hours. 2. I see what you mean about the weight readings - this is because in Journal the charts are designed to average out weights for a day and show the average for each day of the month. However, if in the Charts tab (on iOS 16 and higher) you'll see more detailed charts that do show every value plotted. I'll eventually update the Journal charts (hopefully later this year) to work the same way - thank you for this feedback! I hope that helps. Let me know if there's anything else. Thank you for using the app, and stay well. ❤️ GauravThis is simply a record your weight and/or import from apple health and journal whatever you want.
I really wanted this to be a slight more structured as far as calling it a “food journal”. At least add a + sign for notes, food, beverage, & weight. That way I’d be more inclined to log my food and drink. Especially if it remembered “regulars”. And how awesome if you could snap a pic and post it as your entry!
A couple of technical aspects I find frustrating is, 1) I import my weight from apple health. So I have to scroll to the bottom, (please move to top), and select import…, then I get a list of items I can import, a button to select all, or in my case, scroll to the bottom, (can you please give options for most recent to latest as a filter)?, to find my latest weigh in. And you have to be careful, because if you have other apps “writing” to apple health your weight, the entry will show up twice.
So then you select your entry and then scroll up, to select “import”. Then you can choose an option from the bottom of the app - I go to the journal section, I still am baffled about half the options in this app and what exactly they do.
But at this point I find I generally log my reaction and feelings about my weight and maybe a quick rundown on what I’ve eaten.
I weigh myself daily, been researching this and apparently this helps you to lose more weight and keep it off because you’re more aware. However, you do have to get over the initial shock of seeing your number go up and down, and eventually down. Hence seeing the trend is nice.
The other technical part is I wish this app would work with Garmin connect, or even some of the new scales that send your weight directly to their app. It’s so much more efficient.
I do like this app the best regarding food and weight because you’re not lost in all the nutrition talk. You are just recording, which is what I want and need. Plus I am not great at eating at regular meal times, (yet), so I like that there’s no classification for BLD and snacks. (But I would like to separate food from beverage and notes). So at every entry you have the option of logging food, beverage, notes, or weight.
And I do like that it shows your BMI, and if I had a different scale I’d be able to log my fat %. Which I will do as soon as I determine the scale that meshes the best with my Garmin watch, iPhone and apple health, and Garmin connect, lol! (Not to mention my insurance has a health app “Virgin Plus”, and I’m doing the OMADA program. (It’s their scale that sends my weight directly to their app, and is connected to virgin plus and apple health.)
I hope I wasn’t too convoluted.
Thank you for your app. I hope to see some of these changes!

Thanks Melissa, for the kind and down to earth feedback. I love how you’re trying to making the best of what the app offers, and want it to be better. 🚀❤️ The Apple health sync would be even better if it’s automatic, so you don’t have to scroll around at all once it’s setup. That’s one of the next items on my list - I will keep you posted on its availability over coming weeks. The food tracking too can be more specific, and it would be great to, say, tag each time you eat a certain food. I’ll give this some thought and aim to improve the app with such functionality in the future. Thanks once more and let me know if there’s anything else.🙏 GauravKeeping it Down

Thanks Badgerjs for the encouraging words. I’m glad the app is helping. 😊 GauravAllow key-in weight
Why do I have to scroll to my weight? Let me type it in.mallen111
Developer Response
Thanks mallen111, that’s a great suggestion. Update: You can now key-in weight by pressing the keyboard icon above the scroller. This is available in version 2.61.16 onwards. Thank you again for valued feedback! GauravWeight and BMI
I find this app is outstanding except for two minor flaws that just irritate me but still works out very well.
1: the weight always goes back down to 150 instead of staying at your weight you .last put in. It would be much more convenient if it stayed at the weight that you put in instead of having to scroll through the weights to get to where you’re current weight.
2: t BMI should be automatically calculated instead of trying to do the calculation manually.Show lessMat it'd

Thank you for the valuable feedback! As promised, the BMI calculation is being worked on, and will be available in an upcoming update. For remembering weight values, you can press "Remember Last Input values" in settings. I'll keep you posted. Thanks again, GauravGreat app
