Whole numbers only

Does not accept fractional, inputs or decimal inputs. If your height is 5 foot 8.5 inches, or your weight is 160.5 pounds, this information cannot be entered. Only accepts whole numbers.

No decimal point on provided keyboard

Unable to key a decimal point in the keyboard

The app does not facilitate keying a decimal point on their keyboard. Only whole lbs of kilograms.

Almost perfect

Just needs the addition of decimals to be perfect

Please include decimals.

This should be an easy fix. Uninstalling.

Need decimals

The keyboard you present for noir is great, but it needs decimals please.

Unusable in Metric Mode

Two decimal places are required in Metric mode for accuracy!

Can’t write weight in decimals

In metric you can’t input the weight in decimal, no option of decimal, who proof checks the app?

Who programmed this?

No decimal place possible for metric weight. Come on, get serious.

No decimals

This app would be significantly more useful if there was an option to use decimals

pointless

Can’t put a decimal point in when inputting weight in kilos

Great!

Age and gender should not be included in a BMI calculator. Unlike some other unofficial apps I tried (since this one was further down search results), this one rightfully doesn't include age/gender inputs.

Accurate, simple

Accurate but not as accurate as other BMI apps, maybe some rounding issue? Simple app. Does what it says. Not much additional information.

Age/gender?

No input for age or gender

Correct

Finally an app that calculates BMI correctly. It is quite scary,the first two I downloaded did not. It is a simple equation.

Does what it says well

This is a handy tool I plan to use to keep myself informed as I lose weight. It does not give professional advice to interpret the results, and that's fine with with me, because I'd rather read up on that separately or talk with a professional. It's a good basic tool that works well.

FYI This is on my 4S with iOS 7

App will not open

Nothing to rate if app doesn't work. Can't give zero stars.

Useless

I think I'll stick to my Doctor, a week ago she told me I was in the normal/overweight range not freaking obese!!

Broke

Since last update it opens then closes before loading app

App does not work

App doesn't even open. Forecloses when you try to open it.
