Please keep maintaining this app, it’s very useful! ### 1/5 — Not happy *2018-06-02, version 3.4* I usually measure myself with a centimeter , so I was looking forward to finally have less work to do every morning by using this app. Unfortunately, all the measurements seem to be completely off. And then when you want to pull the trigger to adjust it to the right place it would move only in horizontal directions on a small area that is a chosen automatically. So I would end up having my waist up by chest or other way around... simply because the settings of the app are off .... ### 1/5 — Waste of money! *2018-02-18, version 3.0.3* I need a refund. This thing doesn’t work at all on my iPhone 6 Plus. Not at all. ### 3/5 — Needs improvement *2018-02-05, version 3.0.1* Doesn’t seem to be working on my iPhone 7 Plus.... instructions for mirror calibration aren’t clear maybe video tutorials? My screen doesn’t look like the one on the short demo. Middle tab at bottom where I think you add an entry isn’t working only shows demo ### 1/5 — Couldn’t even log in *2018-02-02, version 3.0.1* Thought this looked interesting. Sent email twice as requested by app so I could log in but it just kept sending me round in circles back to the home page and asking me for my email again. Useless. ### 1/5 — Not even a chance to try and way too expensive. *2018-01-29, version 3.0* What a joke, I can’t even try the app out to see if it works. Not a member of an affiliate gym and would rather use it at home. I can’t even take the basic photos anymore. At least give out a 1 month trial. How can I trust that it works, without trying it out at least once. ### 1/5 — Just Downloaded the App *2017-11-06, version 2.4* I’m trying to create my profile, and it keeps telling me “can’t create user”. No explanation as to why or where to seek help. ### 2/5 — Good in concept, bad in practice. *2014-05-31, version 1.3* Good idea, Bad app. Pictures are displayed as a messed up blended version of itself. The pictures are terrible. Whatever algorithm they are using needs to adjusted. There are really no other features to speak of. It's not a simple app. It's a useless app. ### 1/5 — No option for women *2013-09-12, version 1.2* Why? We work out too. ### 5/5 — Perfect for keeping progress! *2013-07-23, version 1.1* Awesome app! Great for keeping progress and especially for Clients! 😁👍 Can't wait for more updates to come! 👌 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Didn’t work *2023-12-28, version 5.0.3* I tried for two days and gave it. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t load *2023-08-14, version 5.0.2* Doesn’t sign in. Just fails to connect and would prefer not to give out my cellphone number to create an account. Email account doesn’t work ### 1/5 — Bad app *2022-11-01, version 4.11.1* Not useful and tricks you into a subscription ### 1/5 — Photos problem *2021-08-05, version 4.9.5* I’ve used this in the past but now it doesn’t take photos. It will pretend to take photos ans then send me back to the instructions screen to take photos again but won’t actually let me take them ### 1/5 — Didn’t work waste of time *2020-08-22, version 4.8.6* Does not work at all I turned the phone nothing it’s just for looks ### 1/5 — Does not work with my iPhone pro *2019-10-31, version 4.4* Does not work with iPhone pro. No response from customer support ### 1/5 — Won't snap a pic *2019-10-27, version 4.4* This app doesn't calibrate like it says and won't snap a pic for measurements. Bunch of empty hype. ### 1/5 — Terrible app *2019-08-15, version 4.4* Doesn’t even work, don’t download. ### 1/5 — Connection *2019-07-19, version 4.4* My phone won’t connect to the app just keeps saying error 500 after entering code from txt msg ### 1/5 — Still scammy *2019-04-23, version 4.4* As a previous reviewer says, the app wants to track you by using your phone. Even to just try out the app, it wants your sms or iCloud password. What I don’t understand is, why don’t developers just ask for money, instead of trying to spy on us? iPhone users are happy to pay for good apps. So yeah, couldn’t even try this app, because no way am I giving permissions to some app I have no idea what it does. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2019-07-13, version 4.4* and very intuitive. just take a picture, app will do rest. love it. ### 5/5 — No more messing around with tape measures *2019-07-02* So easy to you the measuring method just point and done.

The best part? Goodbye tape measures ! ### 5/5 — Love it *2018-02-26, version 3.0.3* Great app. It took me a little while to figure out the details but it’s really exciting that I can automatically take my body measurements just by mirror selfies. ### 5/5 — Ego boost *2016-01-25, version 2.0* I love it. It not only allowed me to track my progress, the comparisons made me focus on my goals. Plus, it continuously gave me an ego boost to use it. I totally recommend it!! ### 5/5 — Great App *2015-04-19, version 1.3* Really like the concept of smart selfies. I have been looking for an app like this. I make photo diaries regularly and I imagine that the guys behind this has a lot of cool features to come. ### 5/5 — Innovative and really helpful with my goals *2013-07-27, version 1.1* Excellent for tracking my progress and helping achieve maximum gains --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
