## Most critical reviews (7 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Could not calculate using custom plates

*2016-05-06*

Added custom plates (0.75kg and 0.5kg). App could not calculate the desired weight even though all the correct plates were entered. 
Poor user interface. Don't waste your money.

### 2/5 — Does NOT calculate properly

*2017-11-03*

I upgraded and entered the weight plates that I own in “inventory”, with the correct quantity of each. The app still tells me it cannot calculate my requested weight exactly using the “Plates” feature, which is clearly incorrect since I can calculate it “manually” using the “Weights” feature. 
Used in-app email to contact vendor—2 weeks ago. Not a word.

**Developer response:** Hey there cpacook - sorry for the trouble you had here. An update has been issued that should address any problems you had.

### 4/5 — GREAT APP!

*2015-11-25*

Not the best looking app, but I like how you can add custom weight plates. Perfect for my fractional plates.

**Developer response:** Hi 7689mAmm - the app UX/UI has been improved with a recent release. Give it a try and let me know how it works for you.

### 4/5 — 5 stars if...

*2015-06-12*

Could you add the ability to show which weight we are doing if we add a particular set of plates?
Otherwise great App.

**Developer response:** This feature has been added in a recent release. Let us know how it works for you!
