### 3/5 — No sync back to apple health

*2025-10-06, version 3.3.7*

The app works at minimum and shows the values from the scan. It’s kind of error prune, same subsequent scans might be off from each other. My biggest issue is, the app happily reads the data from apple health, but it doesn’t support writing the scans back to apple health. It’s obvious that this is a conscious decision by the company.

### 2/5 — No Apple health integration

*2024-11-23, version 3.3.6*

It seems accurate enough but I’m very disappointed that it doesn’t integrate with Apple health to send the body fat readings into the Health app. I want to track my progress in the central place for health data on my phone and it’s annoying that I have to enter the readings manually because this $250 device won’t do it automatically even though it has an app. The app has a half baked food tracking feature but it also doesn’t integrate with Apple health there either. Just disappointed overall.

### 3/5 — App really needs fixing

*2024-02-13, version 3.3.1*

Does not sync weight with health.
UI for entering calories is very cumbersome.
Main view resets a lot... 
My impression is they lost a lead developer and can't find a suitable replacement.

### 2/5 — App works isolated but does not update Apple health

*2024-02-11, version 3.3.1*

This app pulls data from Apple health but is unable to update Apple health.

Otherwise it works great. But frankly the Apple health integration is odd. It pulls data but does not update Apple health. So this means Apple health does not get any fat percentage results from this app

### 4/5 — I paid for the device and I can’t sign

*2023-06-26, version 3.2.7*

Sign in with google keeps taking me back to the sign in screen after authenticating

Update: resolved

### 4/5 — Wow. I'm fat!

*2023-04-04, version 3.2.6*

I kinda knew I was fat, but yowzers!

The app and device are fun, if you really like measuring things which I do. I don't much care for eating well or exercising, I can get into measuring how fat I am. 

It seems accurate, and close to what I've seen with a calipers. The workouts and recipes are great, and the app is useful for that even if you don't use the sensor to measure. 

One thing though, Bello is connected to Apple Health but it can't read food data. I prefer to use a different calorie tracker which writes to Health and it'd be great if Bello could read that so I didn't have to manually type calories data into the app.

### 1/5 — dead app

*2023-01-15, version 3.2.1*

can't login anymore, even after resetting my password.  that means the product i paid 100s for is useless... and i just bought their second product fitto too.

### 3/5 — I guess it works. But is it helpful?

*2022-10-30, version 3.1.0*

I have 2+ months of use with a Bello2 scanner and I’m underwhelmed and not impressed.  

Me: 62yrs old. 6’ tall. Collegiate, high school & private club fencing coach. July 15th weight 206#, Oct 30th weight 179#.  Workout average 72 min per day.  I cut my food intake and increased exercise to achieve weight loss. 

But I don’t give Bello2 any credit for this change because the tracking data and app descriptions are vague, trend presentation is poor, diet tracking and diet input is rudimentary, weight tracking and updates are usually 1 or 2 days behind current weight, if they update at all.  

I do a Bello2 scan daily.  Weigh in daily.  Waist measurement weekly.  I put food religiously.  Apple apps keep my exercise data, Bella’s app reads the exercise app data.  

But Visceral and Body fat readings bounce around, trend line presentation in mostly useless. Views are limited and vague.  The app presentation does not utilize the screen size to an optimum.  Apple, Withings, MyFitnessPal all let you look at your metrics with much better scales, trends, date ranges, etc.  

Food input for the diet portion, probably the best part of this app, is very basic.  No code scanning available. No image scanning available. MyFitnessPal is easier, more powerful and shows data much better, the Bello2 should be able to link data from MyFitnessPal but it doesn’t.  

9 Block Therapy is a good idea but vague and the calorie goal is the only portion of that therapy that is visible in the diet input area.  But 9 Block recommends specific amounts of Protein, Carbs and Fat… which you must memorize or you have to go back to the 9 Block to refresh your memory.  

Bello2 recommends a diet that seems to not relate to the 9 Block goal.  

Bello2 recommends exercises that show up in a tiny screen, don’t rotate to optimize screen use, etc

Honestly I like the idea of the device.  The app works, I don’t have issues with connections or glitches.  But it is just rudimentary and poorly executed.  Integrate it with other popular fitness apps and improve the graphing, show real trend lines, etc etc etc and this would be so much better.  I’m disappointed after 2 full months of use.

### 3/5 — Everything works fine

*2022-08-28, version 3.1.0*

Body % varies quite a bit more than expected.  Changes by 0.5% within minutes.  Close enough though.

Does not sync with Apple health

### 1/5 — Cant log in

*2022-08-05, version 3.0.3*

In order to use this device you need the app and the problem is the app doesn't work. I literally cant log in

### 1/5 — Buggy App, No customer support response

*2022-04-24, version 3.0.1*

Tried to register my Bello on the iOS app. The app doesn’t respond on any drop-down menu and cannot proceed with finishing the registration. Sent email to ask for help but didn’t get any response; not even an automatic email. Going to return this product disappointed.

### 1/5 — Terrible Experience

*2022-04-20, version 3.0.1*

-Just purchased the pretty expensive bello 2
-downloaded the bello app from app store on 4.20
-created account and confirmed my email
-goes to sign in and hit with “records don’t match our system”
-trys to re create a new account with totally different email but by then the app is completely unresponsive - I can click anywhere on the interface and it will show a loading circle for about 1/4 second and nothing happens

### 1/5 — Can’t use app or login

*2022-04-01, version 3.0.1*

When I try and login, the screen dims then just goes back to the login screen. Reset my password, still can’t login.

### 3/5 — App is crashing

*2022-02-04*

When I connect bello device to the app from time to time the app is crashing. I have to open the app 2-3 times before I could use it without the app to crash

### 2/5 — Doubtful value

*2021-06-25, version 2.0.1*

I have been using the device pretty much daily for around a year and the results seems to be consistent with trends that I get from other devices.  It is unhelpful that the measurements don’t allow you to compare to some known reference point.  The proprietary indices are interesting but not much more than that.  What really lets this product down is the app.  I have lost my trend data on four occasions.  Once when upgrading my phone and three times as a result of having to re-log in because of some sort of device crash or loss of Bluetooth connection.  Each time I have started again with my base data (name, weight etc) intact but absolutely no measurement history.  It seems that there is no cloud backup and data storage on the device is flaky.  I had assumed that the app would be upgraded over time but that isn’t happening.  I will persevere because I have a device but if you haven’t already invested it’s probably worth waiting a year to see if the company still exist and they have improved their app

### 1/5 — App crashing

*2025-08-08, version 3.3.7*

App is constantly crashing - once I open the app it crashed before I’m able to measure my stats, I have uninstalled the app and installed again and it fid the same thing - after couple of uninstalls I was able to use the app but after 2-3 weeks it started again and now it is closing/crashing automatically every time

### 1/5 — App Closes Automatically

*2025-07-19*

In the last two days the app is suddenly closing before you can do anything.  Seems to be a new app issue as I had used daily for the past many months.  Tried to log this problem through support, but the bot would not let me get through the required info which I needed the app to access.

Thank you for looking into this.

### 1/5 — Too Many Bugs

*2025-07-18, version 3.3.7*

I literally can’t keep the app open, it shuts down like 3 seconds after I open it. I deleted and redownloaded the app and nothing changed. My device is unusable without the app.

### 1/5 — Body style doesn’t update

*2025-05-15, version 3.3.7*

All members are very low and 6% body fat but body type is still group C. I think it’s broke

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-03-04, version 3.3.7*

Hard to pair, IT guys should be fired

### 1/5 — Impossible to edit waist size for Bello 1

*2024-09-02, version 3.3.5*

Buggy. Please fix

### 1/5 — Unable to login to my account

*2023-12-09, version 3.2.8*

I have tried several times to login via my gmail account, but am unable to. Keeps returning me to the first screen.

### 1/5 — Cant login with login with apple anymore

*2023-06-30, version 3.2.7*

It kicks me out when i try to log in with apple id!!
Can you please fix this issue asap?

Thanks

### 1/5 — Can’t login

*2023-06-14, version 3.2.7*

Poorly designed app. Suddenly requires a new login and no matter what I do it keeps looping.

### 1/5 — App Gets Stuck

*2023-05-20, version 3.2.6*

Seems like a great gadget until you realize the app is unpredictable. Worked a few times then suddenly got stuck on step 5. No longer provides a readout. I am returning this product.

### 5/5 — Great way to check my progress

*2024-07-10, version 3.3.5*

It is really exiting to see how eating well and getting regular exercise pays off! Once you get the hang of it it is easy to use.

### 5/5 — App stopped working -update 12/6/23

*2023-12-06, version 3.2.8*

Updated review. The developer responded and device is working again.  No complaints 

“Ran into same issue as others. Was working fine and now can’t get passed step 5 on measurements which means I get no measurements. Now it’s just an expensive piece of plastic.”

### 5/5 — Helps me see the progress

*2021-12-20, version 2.1.0*

All my life, no matter how much weight I lose I always had belly fat that would never get flat.

For this reason, I did not want to get a scale that measures body fat (since I already have a scale that I like) so I was searching for something that is for more for the focused area. Some of the reviews I read mentions the app not working properly. However, I saw somewhere they updated the app so I decided to go for it.
Downloading the app and synching it with the Bello device was really easy! ( I am not so great with the electronics)

So far, Bello is helping me to see if my daily excercise I’ve been doing for over a year is making any progress, and it is a great tool to monitor it.
This was actually what I needed. If you have similar concerns when it comes to belly fat, this will help you keep track of progress.

### 5/5 — Bello - Belly Fat Manager

*2021-07-19, version 2.0.2*

Bello’s best features are the food and activity recommendations. They are all simple and easy follow. It motivates you so that you can track daily/weekly/monthly progress.

It’s a great solution that replaces visits to the doctor’s office or gym to get your MHI measured.

### 5/5 — Easy, super portable and accurate

*2021-06-18, version 2.0.1*

This product is super easy to use, compact and portable.  With the accurate measurement of the body fat rate, I'm now able to keep track of it, and it helps me guide myself to better diet. Sure it's not fun to look at how much fat you have in you, but it sort of gave me a wake up call and got me to act for my better health.
 I highly recommend it!

### 5/5 — Everything is easy with this app and device !

*2021-06-01, version 2.0.0*

Device is quickly paired with app by following simple directions. 

After scanning, your result shows within 10 seconds.

User friendly interface will make easier to manage your progress.

Fun and easy to use !

### 5/5 — Quick. Accurate, and easy to use! Worth it!!

*2021-05-26, version 1.8.2*

- Cute small size as palm

- Non gloss, no slip, feeling good grip.

- Incredibly fast and easy to measurement.

- Accurate result.

- Changes shown in a weekly cycle, so you can simply check and adjust your overall lifestyle.

- App offers Various diet recipe and exercise videos.

I highly recommend Bello to you who want to check out what’s inside your belly. 😁

There were various recommendation food recipe and activity videos that you can watch for free. I don't like to see too much information when I use app, but it feels like only listed the essential information.

After connecting Bello with iPhone, gently place the Bello on your belly(1" above your navel/ 1" below your navel) and click the top button.That's it! It's that easy! I love simple process. Measurement time is very short, and there's no complicated or unnecessary things. The result! Yes, it was sad. There was more fat in my body than I thought. And it turns out that there is more subcutaneous fat than visceral fat, so I found that exercise is significant problem than my eating habits.

Even no weight change, measurement fat shown less when the day I came back from playing golf or exercising hard. In fact, going on a diet is hard because the effects are invisible in a short period of time. Weight that doesn't change in one day and the same body lines make me demotivate and even want to give up, but Bello is helping me keep up my diet through shown accurately different measurement result when the day I exercise a lot or manage diet. Feels like Bello keep talking to me 'you're doing good!'

I'm so much satisfied with this tiny cute Bello. Check your belly with Bello. and Let's take care of our precious body in proper way!

### 5/5 — Visceral Fat Management

*2021-05-24, version 1.8.2*

I work out and play a lot of sports.  I weigh well within the 'overweight' limit, but my doctor diagnosed me with high visceral fat levels in my belly.   
I got this visceral fat analyzer because I wanted to check the fat levels more than once a year. I've been using it to measure my levels everyday, and use the diet recos from the app.
Surprisingly, diet recos and some fasting really did work when measureed with Bello.
Looking to incorporate this into my health routine.
Great to be able to have the ability to measure visceral fat which is only accurately measurable by MRI or CT

### 5/5 — It’s a health app

*2021-04-23, version 1.8.2*

I’ve always been into fitness and health from a physical point of view, but never really into the science or diet portion of it. I like to eat what I eat and I remain active. But out of curiosity, I got Bello to see where I am from a “science” and health perspective.

Here are my thoughts:
- Aesthetics: Looks cool - sort of looks like something Apple would make.
- Portability: Lightweight and fits in my backpack
- Ease of Use : App download/sync process with Bello scanner was fast and intuitive

The reading it gave me was a bit disappointing (not on the product - but on my own results) as I thought I was healthier where I am. People who buy this shouldn’t look at this as diet tool/app, but more so of a health tool to help you measure your health.
