### 1/5 — Scale App

*2020-03-18, version 1.4.4*

Not working after app was updated will not connect to iPhone. Uninstalled app & reinstalled still problem persist. Now I have a paper weight. When will this be fixed?

### 1/5 — Won’t work

*2018-03-23, version 1.1.2*

This app will work the first time, then in order to use again, I have to remove the app, and re-install for device (Android or I phone) to see it. Have followed instructions to the tee, still won’t work. Ready for new scale.

### 1/5 — App does not work

*2017-10-23, version 1.1.2*

iPad app does not work. Scale is worthless without app.  Thanks JB.....

### 1/5 — Does not work every time.

*2015-09-07, version 1.0*

Am I the only one who bought this scale? JB you need to fix your app. What you not going to stand behind your products. This thing does not connect like it should. If not using for awhile it connects right away and seems to work ok. But if you disconnect it does not want reconnect. Tried on my I phone 6 plus and I pad air 2 works the same way. Do not use this scale because I can't depend on it.payed 200.00 for it I expect it to work. I expected an up date by now to address these problems.

### 1/5 — After the update

*2020-09-22, version 1.4.5*

Ever since I updated this thing is just a paperweight please repair this immediately

### 1/5 — Needing Update !!!

*2020-08-18, version 1.4.5*

Needing Update !!! Will not connect.

### 1/5 — DS-2000 s is worthless since they updated

*2020-07-28, version 1.4.5*

Since the update has occurred the device no longer connects with Bluetooth. I’d say JB Industries needs to hire better software engineers to correct this issue. I’m sure we’re not the only two having problems connecting. Can’t even return to an earlier version, or that worked before.

### 1/5 — NOT CONNECTING!

*2020-07-10, version 1.4.5*

Once updated it will no longer connect to my device. This thing quickly turned completely useless. A fix needs to be made immediately! I spent a lot of money on my scale fully expecting it to work all the time!

### 1/5 — No blue tooth connection

*2020-05-28, version 1.4.5*

Hello just bought this scale.  Thought it was time as well to update my phone to Apple so I did.  Scale will not connect to app I have an I phone 11. I read other reviews that no one else can connect either so I have a total investment of $1,400 between phone and my new scale and unable to preform weighing refrigerant charges what can we do here? Thank you mike merone (merone plumbing & hvac llc. 4844778723

### 1/5 — Not connecting to phone

*2020-05-07, version 1.4.5*

Does not connect to my iPhone any longer apparently after update

### 1/5 — Will not connect

*2020-04-02, version 1.4.5*

Scale will not connect to iPhone after having the scale for 1.5 years.

### 1/5 — Seriously finish the APP

*2020-03-29, version 1.4.5*

You guys left off a home button and a zero scale button. Without those necessary functions the scale is useless. Thank god I have an android phone I was able to use that app. Until this app is updated properly and AT LEAST TESTED. 1 star all day long. Fix this it has been a week.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work after update

*2020-03-25, version 1.4.4*

Can’t zero the scale out. If you click on job logs then you can’t go back to the scale.

### 1/5 — Update broke the App

*2020-03-19, version 1.4.4*

Whatever this latest update was completely messed up this scale. I can’t zero anything. Needs to be fixed IMMEDIATELY!!! I will need to buy another scale and it won’t be JB.

### 5/5 — Works as expected

*2020-10-12, version 1.4.6*

Latest update works fine for me.

### 5/5 — Works well with my scale.

*2020-04-07, version 1.4.5*

Good app.

### 4/5 — BT Connection

*2025-08-16, version 1.4.12*

I had the same issue as everyone else. BT would not connect.  I have had the scale for 15 years and has always been reliable, the alarm is great!
Want y’all to know after messing around with trying to get it BT connected I think I accidentally figured it out.

1- open the app
2- turn the scale on
3- go into your alarm settings in the drop down menu. 
4-touch the BT icon 
5- follow prompts 

This is for IPhone- i can’t get the app to mess up again, it connects no problem now.
maybe i should delete it and try this again before posting. But I’ll let y’all try it and give some feedback. 
 Hope this helps!!

### 2/5 — Metric system issues

*2022-01-05*

I can’t change the app to kg and there is no information online to figure this out. Very annoying app for such an expensive piece of equipment.
