Excellent Weight Chart
I have been logging my weight on this APP for years. Clear and easy to view without unnecessary data cluttering the graph.
Excellent
Looking at a graph over one month at a time on this scale is very motivating.
Stopped working under IOS13.x
I have used the app for years - simple app that did what it said but with very few updates or enhancements. Unfortunately it has just stopped working under IOS 13 and just crashes out on trying to enter weight - moving to another app would mean the loss of years worth of history. Hope this can be fixed and I can post another, better, review.

This issue has been fixed. Sorry for the problems this caused.
Waste of money
In all fairness, what did work was easy to use. But the - let me call it Log Book- didn't record weights automatically, and i couldn't find how to add them manually.
Also, There were no settings or help icons that i could found.
It was only a couple bucks, so try it if you must. I hope you have more success than i did.

Graph won't display previous months
It always wants to start at today, and what good is that? I've fiddled with the preferences and gotten it to work before, but it's not worth the time and frustration. It looks easy enough but it doesn't work. Looking for a different app.
Weight Monitor
Cumbersome to use. Seems like more effort than it's worth. Went back to paper and pencil on graph paper. Easier to use and just as visual.
Needs work
First off, the interface on the graph is not very easy to use. The graph needs pinch-to-zoom and touch controls.
The arrows get very busy if you have a big graph with lots of daily weights. Dots might be better.
The app automatically populates with dates and null values for weights. That's silly.
The trendline appears to be a moving average that includes your goal weight in the calculation, so if you lose weight more quickly or slowly than you intended, the trendline does not follow your trend and curls at the end.

Works
Does what it says it will do. Graphs could be better
Good!
Wurks like its post 2.
So helpful!
Being a very visual person (show me a graph or chart...not text and words!) I love this app. You put in start weight and goal weight and "by when" date, then all you do is put your daily or weekly weight it. It shows you a graph of where you are currently but more importantly, the trend of whether you are still progressing downward.
This is great because as we all know, weight fluctuates constantly for many reasons so being up for one or two days and then way down for the next and then back up again can be freaky! But since the graph shows you whether this is a consistently upward or consistently downward trend, you can relax about the daily fluctuations (well, in theory...it's hard when you shoot up two pounds overnight for no apparent reason! So if I see that after a week or so, the daily fluctuations are resulting in an upward trend, I will start tweaking my food or exercise. If it's a downward trend, I can just keep doing what I'm doing because it's apparently working.
Anyhow, super simple to use and for being so simple, very helpful in the quest to lose weight.

GREAT APP!
Best weight loss app there is. Shows trends like no other. Easy to put in data (and no, you don't have to put it in every day). It is really terrific to have the green line showing the averages.
Works for me
This is the app recommended by Volek and Phinney in The Art and Science of Carbohydrate Living. The important thing to remember is that the app averages your weight. Each day when you input your daily number, the monitor tells you where you should be that day in order to meet your set weight goal and date. And it averages your numbers to account for daily fluctuations in water weight. It encourages me to stay on track. I like it.

Rubish
If you dont weigh in everyday this graph is rubbish
Response from developer
You do not need to add a weight for every day. The rolling average gives you an indication of what your weight should be for the days that you do not enter a value.
Every day or won't work
No dieter should weigh in every day. Fact. This graph is all over the place if you don't put in a daily weight!
Made by thin people who have never been on a diet I think! Junk.

You do not have to add a weight in every day. The App copes with this and shows you the rolling average to compensate for day when no weight is entered.
This is great.
I really don't understand why people are having a problem. It does exactly as described. The blue line shows your weight loss goal in the time to achieve it. The red is your loss or gain on that day. The green line is the average of the two. If you gain but your average (green) is below the blue, you are on track to achieve your goal. As far as changing your time frame, just go to preferences and change them! Duh

Units not able to change
Tried to use the kg option but it only allows me to use pounds. No good to me, false advertising, waste of $1. Probably useful if you want that option.
More graph options please
I really like this app, easy to use and looks good but I would like to be able to see all my progress on one graph rather than just a month at a time. It would be more satisfying to see the dropping weight from start to present.
don't bother
I purchased this app. It is not worth the 99 cents.
The numbers are wonky and the chart is inaccurate. If I put my weight in at 119 it might show on the chart as 120. Just didn't make sense.
The chart is awkward and amateurish.
I deleted this app after trying to use it for a few weeks.

Confusing and disappointing
I bought this app as a result of a recommendation in the book, The Art and Science of Low Carb Living. I love the concept of calculating an average and was prepared to love this app, but I don't. First of all, as a highly educated early adopter, I'm not very often confused about HOW to use an app. I was with this one. The opening steps give inadequate directions along with a dire warning that once you enter your start and end date you will never be able to change them. There is no info, however, about how to chose. For instance, is my "end" date today, my goal time frame for weight loss, or as long as I intend to use the app? Also, although there are directions in the app store description, there is no help, FAQ, etc in the App itself. I haven't deleted it yet, but I think I'm likely to.

Great application! Works exactly as described!
This application works great! And exactly as described. Read the entire explanation of the app before buying. The developer explains it perfectly. Got a question? Go to the developer's web site and he'll respond quickly.
The app provides a visual representation of your weight loss. You should be weighing yourself every day - and at the same time every day - to help get an accurate picture of your weight. This app produces a green ten-day moving average line to help represent your true weight. You also define your own weight target and the length of time you want to take to get there. The app shows a blue line that displays your goal weight each day on your path to your target weight. Keep your current weight and your moving average under the blue line to achieve your target weight. Simple and easy to read. And completely customizable.
I highly recommend!
