### 1/5 — App needs rework

*2026-05-14, version 3.0.1*

I bought the scale but I hate how there’s no scanner for such an expensive item. It would make searching up codes much easier. The app needs to be more engaging, at this point it’s too plain and unhelpful in searching codes.

### 1/5 — No code egg whites

*2026-05-06, version 3.0.1*

LIKE HOW ? Do better

### 1/5 — how do you not have BRAZIL NUTS

*2025-09-28, version 3.0.1*

please read the title to get an idea of my criticism of this app. The scale itself works quite well for what it is, but let’s not pretend this application has any of its promised utility. Glad to have a working scale, would be nice if the app worked even 8% as well as the scale. Codes don’t correspond to the food we are actually putting in our bodies. That’s not sustainable.

### 2/5 — Reasons why this is not worth it

*2025-04-02, version 3.0.1*

While this is a handy device, there is no food codes that I could find that match what I am actually eating.  I saw another review saying there should be a barcode scanner and I agree with that, there should be a barcode scanner. This app I feel should be able to track your macro’s automatically, and it just doesn’t do it. For 40 dollars I at least expect a barcode scanner.

### 1/5 — Terrible food options

*2025-02-19, version 3.0.1*

Second day, trying out this app and the food scale I can’t even look up something simple as a bell pepper to add to my breakfast because it’s not an option for the scale or the food code app. This is terrible. You guys need to improve this. I can’t believe I wasted my money on this.

### 1/5 — App

*2025-01-13, version 3.0.1*

App wont let me sign in. Where is customer service?

### 2/5 — App needs work

*2025-01-02, version 3.0.1*

The functionality of the app doesn’t match the scale itself.  The search function should be more robust to make it easy to find specific items.  I should also be able to scan bar codes of food items to either find the code or generate a custom code and then input the nutritional value

### 3/5 — Decent but needs more variety

*2024-12-24, version 3.0.1*

The app is very generic not much into variety. It would be really good and a massive improvement if I could create my own nutrition labels for special items.

### 1/5 — Terrible App

*2024-09-12, version 3.0.1*

Why have a great scale and do nearly zero work on the app?  No place to scan a barcode. No place to add an item. Useless. It’s almost 2025. Fix it already.

### 1/5 — App is horrible

*2024-09-09, version 3.0.1*

The scale itself is sleek and elegant. I love how it looks and the different colors to pick from. Unfortunately, I will be returning it because I was under the impression that the app would give more info on the food (macros & micros). The app itself is very basic and very similar to the paper manual. You can only search the items and save as favorites. That’s it. Add the option of scanning or adding brands would be idea. Not worth $50. I found Renpho food scale that does the same for $17.
