POS AVOID

THEY UPDATED THE APP AND 4 YEARS OF DATA IS GONE ! THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU HIRE CHEAP DEVELOPERS TRYING TO USE AI! AVOID THIS APP AND PRODUCT. WILL BE GOING TO HUME

New update gets one star

Update: I’m amazed. Not only have the problems not been fixed, they’re worse than ever.

Adding my voice to the many who pointed out the updates are awful. Hugh numbers makes less room for the actual data, plus it’s discouraging. It’s also really slow to upload now. This may drive me away.

Broken app

Great app, but has it’s issues. QR camera goes blank when engaged, stats take a forever to load, and freezes on startup. Please fix

Scale does not transfer data anymore

Bought the scale and very disappointed with it and the app after a few months of using the scale will not send over its data using Bluetooth, the app is also not very good.

Sign up required

Sign up required, now exposing your health data and linking it to protected health information.

Just gets worse and worse.

It’s so frustrating to own a device that quits working with the update. Now only weight is working. update. October 2. Now the weight that shows up on the scale does not track with what is showing up on the app.

Changed the date

It hasn’t connected to Apple Health since June. Every attempt to integrate with apple health results in a failure message. Apple health show WG as inactive

Latest update

Latest update broke my scale to app Bluetooth. Scale is no longer transferring data to my app. For the last few weeks I’ve had to manually enter all weights into the app. I’m not sure what was “fixed” regarding the Bluetooth in the latest update, but it broke mine.

Good experience one integration I wish I could see

I been using weight guru for a long time and I had quite a good experience with different scales I used over the years. No ads and a quality interface with almost instant sync with my WiFi enabled scale. One thing I wish I could see is support for mi fitness one of these days.

Scale is great, app needs work

Good concept, but my phone has a hell of a time reading the QR code displayed on the scale. Very frustrating because if it doesn’t get it immediately I have to wait for it to cycle through all of the stats again… only for it to MAYBE read properly on the second/third/fourth go around. I actually deleted the app because it was simply too frustrating and time consuming to utilize. The physical scale itself is lovely, the app’s ability to read the stats needs work

Lost my data

After year of use, it threw up a login screen, lost all my data and asked a bunch of invasive information

New update doesn’t work

Ever since the new update my scale doesn’t sync to my app. I have to manually enter everything, even though the app says they are connected. If I’m not careful I will miss DAYS of weight tracking because the app doesn’t sync. This scale is useless to me now.

One purpose

This app has one purpose: to pair via Bluetooth with the scale that I bought. That’s its only purpose. I would expect it to do that 100% of the time. It doesn’t

Why the terrible change

I have used the app since 2010. For years I appreciated the ease of use and clarity of data. A couple of months back there was a update that changed the dashboard and makes it basically unusable. Please go back to the original dashboard or make a new dashboard that allows additional functionality and ease of use.

Useful, though doesn't always get body composition on my scale.

Definitely a subpar experience over the past month, since they've put in these new updates. Had some problems where it dropped integration with Apple Health, but today I was able to disconnect that and reconnect it, and it finally was able to synchronize the past month of measurements

I've also had issues for years with it sometimes getting the readings for body fat and muscle mass and water, but sometimes not. Sometimes it'll just stop getting those for weeks or months on end, which screws up all of the graphs because there aren't enough data points. I'd say it's about a 50-50 chance of whether that function of the scale works or not, and I've been using it for about 10 years.

Hooray for major updates!

Scrolling graphs are nice, but it now takes quite a bit longer to display the initial dashboard. Graph scaling needs help — a 2% variation in my water weight is scaled larger than an 8% weight range. Also, weekly/monthly averages are useless stats — moving averages would be way better!

Update killed auto-syncing with Apple Health

I use a macro app to monitor my weight and it relies on apple health to sync my weight daily. Weight gurus was syncing to apple health flawlessly before the major update. I have to sync manually now. I have tried reinstalling the app, restarting , removing Apple health integration and adding it again. I’ve spent too much time trying to get it working again.

Used to be great - new update is ugly

I hate the new update. It looks so goofy. I don’t know who even asked for it to be updated like this. I think we should have been given the option to switch between the first version vs now.

It’s hard to see progress, it doesn’t put a point for each day under the “week” tab like it used to. It’s just garbage. I’m going to find a new scale/app to use now.

Not a fan of version 5

I’m not a big fan of the new version that they’ve put out. The older app was easier to navigate, quicker to read values from the scale and also more reliable. My partner who weighs 30 pounds less than I do seems to sometimes get my readings now. The older app used to pick it up within a second or two now it may wait 20 seconds or more before reading shows up in the app.
