Limited options
Many of the people who are drawn to a device like this have a history of disordered eating. Because of the audience, I am confused about some of the app developer choices. The language about the colors and weight loss in general is NOT neutral. It is somewhat emotional with congratulatory messages as well as sort of a chastising tone if there is a day of weight gain. There is no way to turn this off as far as I can tell. A far more helpful app and device would just give me the color without any additional commentary (or at least the ability to disable the quotes and “encouragement”). I am neutral about weight. I don’t need software to have feelings about it that I do not.

Great concept
Terrible support and hardware. The scale constantly needs to be calibrated and bugs out leaving you with a paid membership you can’t use. Had a total of 4 scales now, same result of the scale being inoperable. Customer service to correct the situation is a joke.
Moralizing BS
I love the idea of this scale. But the kids of people who are drawn to this are also the same kind of people who are unlikely to respond well to a frowny face based on the number of times they weigh in per week. I don’t need or want motivation. I just want a simple numberless scale that lets me know if I am on the right track. I don’t need sad faces or moralistic language. But there does not seem to be a way to turn any of this off, and you have to use the app to see the colors. 🤷♀️

iPhone issues
No complaints until I got the iPhone 17 in October. After that, I haven’t been able to connect to the scale. Customer service seemed to be helpful initially, but then told me that I would either need to use another way to connect (inconvenient), get a new scale (why would I spend the money when my current one was barely a year old and their support wasn’t supporting), or download IOS Beta (still didn’t resolve issue). Can’t recommend at this time.

Awesome scale and great way to lose weight.on a rating of 1 to 10 I give The Shapa scale s 10.
What a great scale and motivational words of wisdom that follow with a video of someone making me to want to keep going and setting things for me to do and all of this is helping to focus on losing weight and getting myself healthy in the process. 10 Kudos to the inventor of SHAPA.
