Any data collected in that app or companion device like the body trace scale cannot be share with any external source. The app is more for the health coach than it is for the end user. ### 1/5 — Total Trash *2021-03-08, version 1.11.3* Not a good app at all, I stopped using it because it was so buggy and awful. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t track exercise *2021-03-06, version 1.11.3* This app only tracks steps, not actual exercise. Even though the data is right there on the phone, this app fails to grab and track it. What’s worse, you can’t even manually import it, not even a screen grab! Someone is a lazy app builder, and this one is worthless. One star is too generous, but I had to give it one, to write this review. ### 1/5 — Does not work as described *2021-02-24, version 1.11.2* Steps function does not work. Every time I click on it, the app sits down. No option to upload meal photos. ### 1/5 — Keeps losing weight history *2020-12-23, version 1.10.5* This is the worst app. This is the third time my history has been wiped after an update. So annoying. If you’re going to have an app, can you hire some tech people to support it properly. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2020-12-11, version 1.10.5* The new version erase a year worth weigh loss tracking. I guess you don’t want the user to see how far they have come! ### 1/5 — Liked the older version better *2020-12-03, version 1.10.5* Very disappointing app .. no way to look at your past goals or steps count fir previous weeks ... older version was far better and user friendly... ### 1/5 — Terrible App *2020-11-12, version 1.10.4* The app was previously just very slow. The latest update made it not only slow but terribly non-user friendly. Can look at or update prior dates and no idea how to use it anymore. My health, incremental MRA deposits and weight management plan depend on the usage of this app and it’s gone downhill fast. ### 2/5 — Erased history *2020-09-15, version 1.10.1* The latest update (Sept 2020) erased my weight history and personal accomplishments. ### 1/5 — Amazing program! Terrible app though... *2020-05-07, version 1.9.3* I was hesitant about joining Newtopia because I didn’t feel like I was in a good place to start making changes. If I’m being fully honest, I thought the whole idea seemed cheesy and stupid. I ended up really loving the whole program, and my coach is the absolute best. They’re great, not cheesy at all, and they take the time to get to know you as a person and vibe well with you. Even if you’re on the fence about joining, or you’re just doing it for insurance purposes like I initially was, they’re really cool about it. They take things slow (if that’s what you prefer.) and they seem to be all about helping you make even seemingly tiny changes in your life that are easy for you to stick with because it suits your lifestyle/tastes. Solid example- money is rough for me right now, so I end up eating a lot packaged soups like ramen, etc. My coach taught me a couple tricks to jazz it up a bit- only using half of the flavor packet, and keeping bagged frozen veggies on hand to mix in with the soup. Never would have thought of that myself, but it was so easy and tastes even better! All that being said... this app is REALLY frustrating. It’s clunky, the UX doesn’t feel intuitive, and ohhhhh my god I’ve never seen an app move so slow. It typically takes around a minute just for the app to OPEN, let alone, do anything within the app. The best way I’ve found to navigate the speed performance issue, and various limitations within the app, is to find little work arounds, as well as simply just jotting down notes and discussing them with my coach at the next call. They’re really great and understanding about how the app limitations sometimes get in the way. I would definitely recommend that the devs figure out what’s causing the speed performance issues and work to resolve them. Additionally, including a clear and easy way for users to submit feedback on the app WITHIN the app, whenever they run into an issue would be a pretty good idea! Overall, I hate the app, but I love Newtopia/my coach, so the program is worth it, bugs and all haha ### 1/5 — Fix remembering the password! *2020-05-01, version 1.9.2* I have entered my password 5-6 times since today’s update. Prior to today, I had not entered it since day one. Disincentive to using the app and following the program. Fix it please ASAP. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not a good app *2026-04-27, version 1.21.2* Have had issues with App since starting program. ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2023-11-21* Doesn’t let you create an account. I’ve tried different types of passwords but doesn’t accept any of them. If I could give it zero I would ### 1/5 — I don’t know why anyone would use this company. *2023-10-10, version 1.12.3* This app is horrible. I’m not sure why my employer wastes their money subscribing to this company. Here’s just a few issues: Goals go away with no way to review past goals. If you cancel a coaching session, because the app doesn’t let you reschedule, you then cannot choose a new time because it tells you that you’ve reached your monthly session limit. Steps don’t always update. All of my other fitness apps sync steps just fine, but not this app. There’s no fitness or workout sections. Only steps and food. ### 1/5 — Unclear *2023-07-26, version 1.12.3* The app is annoying. Unclear on how to do things. You can’t control anything only your inspirator can…They tell you to do thing on the app you can’t even do. Stopped using the program that was free to me because I can’t stand the fact that we can only use the app. ### 1/5 — Can’t track food or take pictures *2023-06-16, version 1.12.3* I signed up for this but so far I am not able to add my food intake or take pictures. I appear to not have the same Home Screen as everyone else. I have uninstalled and reinstalled as suggested but it never works. It has been 2 weeks now and so far no one has called me back to trouble shoot this issue. ### 1/5 — Eh. *2023-05-12* It’s eh. ### 1/5 — Sync issues *2022-11-16, version 1.12.3* Consistent issues syncing weight with apple health. Annoying ### 1/5 — App doesn't work *2022-08-05, version 1.12.2* Disappointed because the app didn't work on my iphone. I've tried all the troubleshooting steps to no avail. Hope tomorrow finds either my phone or their servers working better ### 1/5 — Very limited and mostly useless app *2022-04-26, version 1.11.9* This app is not able to sync with other apps and/or smart devices to track workouts. Unable to reschedule appointments and unable edit/delete unwanted weight entries, my son uses the scale provided and the app is recording both entries, mine and my sons. In other words, this app is mostly useless ### 1/5 — Inspirators always late and never available *2021-08-31, version 1.11.6* Every time it came time for my session, I got a text about how she’d be late! On the app there is no availability. Thanks for nothing. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Long time user *2021-02-11, version 1.11.1* I have had this ap and the body tracer scale for years and I love it!!! I was first introduced to Newtopia through a work program and lost a fair amount of weight with my coach while on the program. I then left the company but even after leaving, I continued to use the ap/ scale because I love it so much. I have not had any issues with it except for one time and it turned out the batteries were low. As soon as I changed them it started working perfectly again. So in 4+ years I have only had to change the batteries 1 time and have not had any other issues. (And I step on almost daily). My only item on the wish list is to figure out how to pull my years of data out of the ap into a spread sheet. Future enhancement I hope. ### 5/5 — Great App *2020-10-30, version 1.10.4* I’m not sure why others are saying it doesn’t work with Fitbit, because mine syncs flawlessly. The app functions as it should and I appreciate the ease of scheduling/rescheduling appointments, the links that can be accessed that my inspirator uploads for me and the other tools to help get or keep me on track. ### 5/5 — Wait for your inspirator to beef up the app *2018-07-21, version 1.4.0* The app is intentionally minimal. Your inspirator customizes it for YOU. You have to wait until your calls so they can add specific goals into the app. The program is awesome. ### 3/5 — Not great on iPhone 14 *2023-03-30, version 1.12.3* Any fixes in the works to make app more compatible with iPhone 14? The Settings and Calendar icon at the very top of the screen are difficult to tap. Have to try multiple times before app recognizes the tap. ### 3/5 — Room to improve *2021-04-16, version 1.11.3* The new app is easy to use and have helped me lose 16 lbs in a year in a healthy way. However, the goal setting function have limited function. It limits exercise to “taking steps” and ignore strength training, stretching, and flexibility. If all someone do is walk and run without strength training, ultimately that’s not good for overall health. If all someone does is walk and run at some point they might develop joints, back, and flexibility issues due to weak core and limited range of movements. ### 3/5 — Not user friendly *2020-01-18, version 1.8.1* My old body trace scale stopped connecting to this app. Tech support did lots of troubleshooting and determined the scale was bad. This time, they gave me an option between the body trace (cellular connection) or YUNMAI (Bluetooth connection). I opted for the yunmai bc at least then i know it would be based on my Bluetooth connection vs cellular which only worked in my kitchen (not the most convenient location for a scale!). YUNMAI scale arrived today and I got it working and connecting to my phone via Bluetooth onto their app. This is where it gets fuzzy...the directions they included with the scale for connecting to Apple Health and the newtopia app are not great. They’ve updated the apps ever so slightly, making the directions nonsense. I am unable to get the two apps to speak to one another without getting tech support on the phone. Most technology these days is intuitive and very user friendly...this app is not either of those things. ### 3/5 — Buggy *2017-08-02, version 1.0.4* App works when it wants to and when it works it's good. With that said, when using the app to take pictures of meals it sometimes loads and saves it and other times nothing. ### 2/5 — Really clunky *2024-07-27, version 1.12.3* Not sure if this is a back-end issue, but it’s no longer tracking my steps from my FitBit, even though I have it linked. It also logs me out way too often and deletes my steps. ### 2/5 — Weight Graph Never Works *2021-08-08, version 1.11.6* The weight graph has never worked since I’ve been using the app. ### 2/5 — Makes things difficult *2021-06-30, version 1.11.5* I get logged out far too often. It also needs to allow for updating past days if we forget to log an activity on the day we complete it. Would be great to have more automated logging from Apple Health and/or other fitness apps. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
