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. ### 4/5 — Simple honest app *2019-03-08, version 1.3.2* Does what it says the tin with no unexpected in-app purchases or tracking. Also, very nicely designed. I do wish though, that it gave some idea of what the healthy BMI range is based on what values it's been given. ### 3/5 — Ddd *2019-02-19, version 1.3.2* Diff ### 4/5 — [Fixed] Apple Watch app not working *2018-03-09* It used to work great but now the Apple Watch app loads but has a blank line where the current weight should be. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled the Watch app and it still won’t work. [Update] I had to erase the Apple Watch and set it up as new in order to fix the problem. Thanks to the Developer for figuring out how to fix it. Everything works great now! **Developer response:** Sorry to hear the watch app isn't working for you. If you could please email toaststudioinbox@gmail.com we'd be happy to help sort it out. ### 2/5 — Will not work on Apple Watch *2017-09-07* I loved the simplicity of this app - I just wanted to track my weight, not food and calories and everything, and have a simple way to enter it on my watch. Unfortunately the app will never load on my watch, it just crashes after the loading screen. **Developer response:** We have just released a new update with performance improvements to the watch app, hopefully this should fix your issue 🙂 ### 3/5 — good concept *2017-06-29* this is my favorite app for tracking my weight -- I have Crohn's/UC and when I'm recovering from a hospital stay it makes it a lot easier -- but it crashes constantly, and almost never loads on the Apple Watch, which is almost the sole reason I downloaded it. I'd love an update to fix the bugs **Developer response:** We have just released a new update with performance improvements to the watch app, hopefully this should fix your issue 🙂 ### 5/5 — Simple! *2017-03-27* It wasn't easy to find a phone / watch app that *just* records weight to HealthKit without a bunch of other clutter. This is it, and it looks and works great. Thanks! **Developer response:** Thanks for the great feedback, it's really appreciated 🙂 ### 5/5 — Makes Tracking your weight easier *2016-12-15, version 1.0* So simple! Keeps track of my weight easily. ### 5/5 — Excellent easy to use app *2016-10-22, version 1.0* Great looking easy to use app, I've been looking for something like this for a while. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 ### 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. ### 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. ### 1/5 — 👎 *2019-03-08* 👎👎👎 **Developer response:** Hi, myself and a friend made this app to make it easier to save our weight into the Health app, if there’s anything specific you were having trouble with we’d love to hear what your feedback is so we can improve the app 🙂 Please get in touch at toaststudioinbox@gmail.com ### 1/5 — Lalala *2018-09-12, version 1.3.1* Crap ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2018-08-23* Doesn’t work not accurate **Developer response:** Sorry to hear it's not working accurately. If you could please email toaststudioinbox@gmail.com and let us know what isn't working accurately we would appreciate that. Thanks! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t let you set your weight in stones *2017-11-02, version 1.2* Who knows, maybe it does but certainly nothing I’ve clicked on, in the app lets me. ### 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 ### 2/5 — Why is the Apple Watch complication so useless? *2019-03-01* It’s just the app icon. It should convey actual information. **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. We wanted to provide a shortcut for users to open the app on their watch easily without the pressure of seeing their current weight every time they look at the time. We believe it’s important to keep a healthy perspective on weight loss and as users of the app ourselves we don’t think seeing your current weight will help users be healthy, both physically or mentally. We understand that this might not be what everyone is looking for in a complication but we wanted to cater to the majority use-case in this instance. If you want to talk to us further about this or any other feedback you might have, we’re always available at toaststudioinbox@gmail.com ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Simple, elegant, easy! *2024-11-18* Terrific app. Does what it says, beautiful presentation and respects the customer. ### 5/5 — Perfectly Simple *2021-04-30, version 1.3.5* A great simple app easy to use and works well. ### 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.
