### 5/5 — Simple, elegant, easy!

*2024-11-18*

Terrific app. Does what it says, beautiful presentation and respects the customer.

### 3/5 — Is it necessary

*2024-10-18*

I like the look of this app, but do you really need it?  All it does is record your weight in the Apple health app. You can just as easily enter your weight in the Health App. But, for .99 it’s okay. 

It would be nice if this app showed history, but it doesn’t. It’s a one function app.

### 1/5 — Awful. waste of money

*2022-09-24, version 1.3.6*

Absolute rubbish. Can only set weight in certain increments. Total rip off. Don’t buy

### 5/5 — Perfectly Simple

*2021-04-30, version 1.3.5*

A great simple app easy to use and works well.

### 2/5 — Any other features?

*2020-02-14, version 1.3.4*

Nice and clear to see and easy, but doesn’t show how far you have come. A graph?
Might be good if you only weigh once in a blue moon and/ or have memory problems

### 5/5 — Love the simplicity

*2020-01-16*

This does one main thing - it puts your weight into the Health app, and so far it does it really well. I am very happy with it.

### 1/5 — DO NO BUY

*2019-12-24, version 1.3.3*

wouldn’t even weigh, not even an email address to complain to... see ya later 99 pence haha

### 1/5 — App issues

*2019-08-12*

Just payed for the app & it’s not letting me do anything but literally enter in my weight & save it, I can’t even explore anything else on the app.

**Developer response:** Hey, Simple Scales has been designed around getting your weight in to HealthKit as quickly as possible. It’s a compliment to the Health app.

### 5/5 — Simple and easy

*2019-08-03, version 1.3.3*

Perfect app for monitoring weight and BMi..... very simple to operate and view.

### 1/5 — Mr Angry

*2019-03-19*

Absolutely waste of my time. There is no direct link to change the units. I guess one needs to pay for this app. 🤯

**Developer response:** Hey, sorry about that. We use the unit you have configured inside HealthKit and unfortunately at the moment HealthKit doesn’t allow us to link directly to the settings in the Health app. To change your unit, open Health and select Weight from the Body and Measurements category. Inside you can change your preferred unit.
