Scale+app

I love all the details information that you never knew about your body that it provides

Batteries only last a few weeks

Scale works okay, but battery life is only a few weeks which is quite annoying. Would not recommend.

Trends

Can we get the weight goal back Trends on the Home Screen.

The new update is working very slowly with my scale. It takes hours before the app will register my weight. It is very very frustrating!!! Ready to abandon this app and the scale if this continues.



Can we get the weigh in time back 😱

Seriously Frustrating App

- Forces iPad into portrait view AND yet some graphs flip into landscape view
- it keeps changing whether body fat is shown as a percentage or as kilograms. Let me set it AND respect my choice! I know what I want & need.
- and of course there is no way of actually contacting the developers as one just gets sent round & round the FAQs
- would change to other brand of scales but these types of problems are endemic to this race of “featuritis” i.e. “our app is better because it has more options/settings”
- and today, another infuriating update, that presents me with a blank screen when trying to see weekly or monthly data: Do you actually test your updates before you force them onto your customers?

Glitchy

Doesn’t connect good to Apple Health

Doesn’t sync

Constantly loses syncing with scale or with Apple health.

Nagware

Constantly nags you, popping up unwanted messages with no way to disable them. “Have you thought of reviewing your weight/steps goal?, Have a look at your sleep heart rate, Have you thought of how much time you waste closing these moronic pop ups?”
I dont want stupid uninformed popups. I want data. I am quite capable of managing the goals and interpretaion of the data myself. Would not buy withings again because of the nagging.

Too Many Forced Distractions

Thank you for fixing the lockup with the “walking“ feature, which trapped users in an inescapable software backwater. Much appreciated. I have one other request: Can you please give us a choice to opt out of the app’s many functions that we don’t want?

Case in point: Please make it possible to remove references to MyFitnessPal, software that I used long ago, but not anymore, because it has been surpassed by its far more sophisticated rival, Cronometer.

It would also be helpful if we could opt out of your questionably useful “Today’s Missions”, which are poorly executed and profoundly outdated, often focusing on studies that have been paid for by companies that can benefit from them.

Some people might like these extras, but I find them completely useless and distracting. I value ability to control the powerful features of your hardware, but not at the expense of having to be distracted and annoyed by unnecessary fluff.

Simply let users choose whether we’d like to use these extras or not. This is especially relevant because now, unlike before, you are forcing us to wade through lots of distractions just so we can utilize the sophisticated features of your hardware, for which we already paid a premium price.

Scale does not show body composition

After 3 days of trying to use the scale , updating it even cleaning it multiple times and connecting and reconnecting the scale seems to be a paperweight . All it does is give me regular scale weight and does not show body composition whatsoever. Regardless if I use a body garment follow the instructions of standing completely still and making sure I am following instructions verbatim nothing changes. All I am told is inconclusive. I’m very dissapointed I spent close to 300$ on this scale for it to just be a normal scale.

What’s up

My scale constantly seams to loose Wi-Fi connectivity. I’ve reconnected several times. At one time my name appeared 2 or even 3 times.egg!

My opinion great App

Love this app

Monitor your health

This app combined with the Body Scan is helping me to see where I can improve my health and fitness

The best

I like this unit this app I still like it very much when you power the unit on and it’s connected by Bluetooth a lot of the times you gotta turn the unit off and reconnected to connect again and you gotta do it constantly. It’s kind of getting annoying and app

Stopped syncing to apple health

If you are expecting me to pay £9.99 a month to sync my blood pressure to apple health you can think again. What a way to loose a customer, I bought the blood pressure cuff at the begging of the year but now I have to pay a subscription?! No stars until this is sorted. Beyond a money grabbing joke

Rip off. Don't buy withings. Rip off. No apple health integration.

Can you give 0 stars. Why buy a premium expensive product for your health. Then pay ridiculous fees to integrate with apple health. It is such a basic thing that should be free

Excelente opcion!

Me gusta mucho la balanza Withings Scan2 por la cantidad de información que te brinda prácticamente profesional. Lo recomiendo.

Apple Health

Requires a subscription to sync with Apple Health.

You need a subscription

Just paid a huge amount for these scales only to find the data is behind a paywall $900 AUD . All I can see is my weight. This was never clear in purchase. I am so cross

Doesn’t work

Avoid. It doesn’t show a graph for weight at all. Just a blank page. Imagine rolling out an update this bad!

Exceptionally difficult to share Withings + App

Was genuinely feeling positive when purchasing the scales as a means to monitor and improve our health. Whilst the scales appear good the App is appalling when it comes to subscribing to Withings + and adding a family member. Prior to buying the subscription, I had checked via the Withings online guidance that my husband and I could share the subscription. Once I subscribed, my husband’s app access to this was not achieved. No online help to resolve this nor customer service advice. I wish now we had purchased the much cheaper Hume scales which would have given us both for no cost what is available without the + subscription
