Disturbing
Paid $500 for the scale. This is the only working app. Does not connect to register on the site. You can’t by going to the site either. Data display doesn’t fit the iphone screen. Does not print out correctly.
Has not been updated in 3 years. Unacceptable.

Terrible
This app is terrible it seems as though it has never been updated and all the information is wrong, the tech support is nonexistent I regret buying the scale.
Works seamlessly with Apple Health
Have been using this app and a TANITA Scale since 2017. Provides very valuable data that can be tracked in app but also connects to Apple Health. This is a very good app and scale combination. Using the multiple data points that it tracks, helps take control of a in depth understanding of how body composition changes over time, allowing a user to adjust their actions to impact results. TANITA was doctor recommended and they offer scales that are FDA cleared which helped me have confidence in their products.

Doesn’t Sync with Apple Health, Results Inconsistent
I’ve owned this for a year now, and the various results such as body, fat, percentage of water, bone etc. are all inconsistent from weight to weight. It no longer links with Apple health. I do not recommend the scale if you’re interested in tracking your body fat along with your weight or if you’re interested in linking to Apple health.

App glitchy and no usable info for it’s touted features
I live in the Garmin app world, and I am familiar with performance oriented software. I’ve had this scale and app for about three weeks now, and while this app is more fun than just getting weight, if the performance of the app is anything like the performance of the scale, then don’t pay attention to any of it. I like to see the muscle quality increasing and I assume that’s good, but there’s no explanation for what this is about in the app, or how these readings are done, or what you should look for. You have to go out of the app and Google what Tanita readings mean, and Google takes you back to Tanitas information that is just not helpful and that is inconsistent. According to Google’s information on Tanita’s readings, I have an extremely high muscle quality but the app says average (next to that really high number) and I try to figure out what it’s doing and it apparently merges two numbers together but it doesn’t really tell you how or how it can get to an end result of average. Then the app glitches so that you can’t pull up prior measurements. It will highlight but not open and there’s no way to get it open even if you exit and go back in.
So get this if you just like having fun with these things, but don’t think that this is a really sophisticated piece of equipment — the app is the giveaway.

Terrible!
One of the worst pieces of software ever written. The scale I have (RD-901), which was not cheap, produces a huge amount of data that, other than the weight itself, is statistical and needs some sort of analysis over time. This app has terrible graphics, weird colors, weird selections, etc., etc., etc. To add insult to injury, the app cannot just send you a file with all the data, like a CSV, so that you could do the analysis yourself. I will never again buy a Tanita product.

It works but graphs are hard to read
I’ve had the 545PRO scale for 3 months. Love that the app receives data directly from the scale. My only complaint is that the graphs are hard to read; not enough contrast between yellow lines and white background. A darker color for the trend line would make it much easier to see and read.
Graphs hard to read
The app does not have a dark mode option or let you change colors on graphs. Yellow on white is used in most graphs and is not easy on the eyes. Would recommend an update to app
Terrible software
The Tanita 545 Pro may be the best currently available BIA body composition device, though it hasn’t yet been compared to a gold standard in any published research study.
However, the supporting software, including this app, Health for Tanita, and MyTanita, are dreadfully crude and underdeveloped, and has not been updated in more than 2 years. This calls into question their unsubstantiated claims regarding the accuracy of this $500 device and raises questions regarding long term commitment to BIA measuring devices for consumers.

Please fix sync!
If there are more than one reading stored in the scale, the app imports the last reading multiple times. The other readings are lost.
Also, PLEASE allow for data export to csv either in the app or on your website. I could do so much more with this data in excel.
