Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: MyWeight² at 4.9 against MacroScan's 4.0. MyWeight² also leads on ratings volume (116 vs 6). MacroScan's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 84%) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

MyWeight² holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MyWeight² has 116 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of MyWeight²'s written reviews are positive against 100% of MacroScan's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

MyWeight² ships an update fortnightly, MacroScan every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 14, 2026.
