Complete scam. *2021-05-09, version 1.7.1* You should disclose in your app description that your app will not measure anything but rather give your users a basic Google search on where to buy a scale. ### 1/5 — Trash *2021-03-31, version 1.7.1* Affiliate links to scales. gg though on the download 😂 ### 1/5 — Ads *2021-03-25, version 1.7.1* I downloaded the app and all it is.....is adds to buy actual scales from Amazon. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️ ### 1/5 — No review necessary *2021-03-16, version 1.7.1* I’m assuming the reason developers use reviews is so as to make their products more competitive, among others. My review was not going to be a stellar one (it can be summarized in one word: frustrating) but: close to 80 reviews and only one raving positively ... well that speaks for itself (the haughty suggestion by the latter that negative reviews should be kept to one self.. well, that was funny). ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 🤦🏽‍♂️ *2024-09-27, version 1.7.2* I’m Not able to test any scale idk what’s wrong with the app ### 1/5 — Huh? *2024-07-07, version 1.7.2* Why would anyone need this? ### 1/5 — Unusable *2024-04-14, version 1.7.2* How many ads is it under? ### 1/5 — Worst *2024-04-01, version 1.7.2* Worst ### 1/5 — This is dumb *2023-09-18, version 1.7.2* It’s not scales, it just tries to sell Amazon products ### 1/5 — For real? *2023-09-03, version 1.7.2* This is not a scale app. It’s an app for listing scales for sale. ### 1/5 — This is worthless. *2023-06-08, version 1.7.2* Worthless ### 1/5 — Wow indeed! *2023-02-15, version 1.7.2* To whoever gave this joke of an app 5 stars, F you! *looking at you Unluckykitty130* I was looking through Google looking for an actual scale app, which just ended up being this. Like many others are pointing out, it really is just an advertisement to sell you scales on Amazon. But what’s even more stupid is the “learning” section which acts as you’re a stupid little kid who doesn’t know what a scale is. And idk what little “finger’ thing unluckykitty is talking about, it really is just the advertisements and “learning” section. And don’t even get me started on that “feedback” button! I press it and all it says is to EMAIL them! Hahahaha!!!! ### 1/5 — so basically.. *2023-01-18, version 1.7.2* this app is the Google “shopping” search for kitchen scales, no actual scale in sight deleting. need storage. farewell. ### 1/5 — Scam *2023-01-15, version 1.7.2* Not a scale - just a shopfront. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Comentario *2023-12-07, version 1.7.2* Es una app muy buena ### 5/5 — Scale App *2023-06-23, version 1.7.2* Great App!!! ### 5/5 — Phone *2021-06-03, version 1.7.2* I’m wondering if I have a account with you. Someone was messing with my phone. Thanks Brian ### 5/5 — Trust in your Faith.... *2021-02-10, version 1.7.1* You are reborn. ### 5/5 — Iike *2020-05-02, version 1.6.2* Good ### 5/5 — linda *2020-04-14, version 1.6.2* quick and easy ### 5/5 — Best App *2020-04-12, version 1.6.2* Creme de la creme ### 5/5 — Garbage *2019-08-13, version 1.1* Garbage , won’t weigh and pop up adds non stop ### 5/5 — Wow! *2019-04-12* Ok so for starters this app is completely free, so if you have something bad to say don’t say it. I feel like this app has a lot of bad reviews, but that’s probably ‘cause they were paid to do that. The app for iPad Pro is amazing. It works with Apple Pencil. On iPad, your finger won’t be measured but the Apple Pencil will. You can see how much pressure your applying the Pencil to the iPad. It’s actually pretty cool, so you know not to punch too hard or too light. In conclusion, I would give this app a try. It will work for iPhones. But for iPads, you need an Apple Pencil to use it. As for the developers, good job and very unique! :) Note: I think I am the first one on this app to write a good review ### 3/5 — Mawfuggah got me *2019-07-26* 3 stars, as it is my own fault that I would believe a phone could function as a scale - it does not. Unless whatever you want to weigh is comprised entirely of fingertips. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
