Review on Smart Bluetooth Body Fat Scale with App for iOS/Android - Digital Bathroom Scale for Weight, Fat Percentage, Water, Muscle Mass, BMR, Bone Density, Visceral Fat - Supports Up to 400 lbs - Creamy White by Jordan Serba

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Doesn't work unless you create an account and send a lot of unnecessary personal information to the company

and the app has a lot of negative reviews with 1 star in playstore). The app requires you to create an account with a {Chinese?) company and send them all sorts of intrusively unnecessary information like date of birth, location permissions, etc. If you don't ("Visitor"), if the app doesn't show you anything other than weight, you won't be able to access the scale settings (e.g. lb/kg) either. There's also no way of knowing anything about it until you buy the scale, figure out what app is required, and try using the app. None of this is and should not be necessary in any way, all user data and body stats. Calculations can be performed and stored directly on the device without sending information about your date of birth, current location, etc. to the company or the cloud. However, for some calculations, the application may need to know how old I am The company does not need to know my BD, current location when I use the app, and so on. Creating an account should be entirely optional at best, and for those who want/need cloud access to their data, with full app functionality, regardless of whether the user creates a cloud account (especially since they already bought the scale Has). Refund, don't buy again. Protect your privacy!

Pros
  • body weight scale
Cons
