I am thinking of using this for another application. What happens if a weight is constantly on it? Can I turn it on with my android/iphone?

I'm afraid I don't understand the question. So I'll tell you what I know about it. After taking my weight, the display goes off after about 5 seconds . So there is no weight constantly on. (If yours stays on perhaps it's defective?) When the next person steps on it, the display comes on and begins to show the new weight. This occurs whether the succeeding weight is a person, or an object.

There isn't a weight on seat switch/sensor. I couldn't tell you if it turns off after a certain time since I sent mine back. I didn't like it. Lumbar support was too low for me and the massage feature was a high frequency vibration that eventually made me feel sick. It also took forever to heat up.

It is certainly light but getting it configured takes some space and some effort. You might buy it, try it out at home, and then see if you consider it portable. I probably would not.

I have had mine for about 3 months or so and I am an animal (so my wife says) I have dropped it and used to weigh heavy items and so far it has held up great ! It always zeros and weighs my plates the same everytime . I use the plates to protect the scale and they weigh 16.2 oz EVERYTIME I put one on . I would imagine if you dropped it off the counter it may not survive but for ordinary household issues should not be problem

The one I got didn't work. When I was chopping up veg's, and adding them bit by bit to the bowl sitting on the scale, it turned off in the middle of it, even though there was only a few seconds delay between adding things to the bowl. Then I tried pressing buttons and I wasn't able to get the weight back. It came back as 0. So I returned that scale and bought another of the same model, and it did the same thing.

I have this model and I'd say it's less than a pound, so theoretically it's not that heavy. Of course the longer you use it the heavier it feels since your arm gets tired, but that's a separate issue...goodluck

That would depend on what OS version of android you have installed in your device. This scale only works with older OS versions and I returned the one I bought for that reason. Most android devices get their OS automatically upgraded, this means that even if it works for you now what would happen to the sync later when you get an upgrade. I would not purchase it unless you can get some clear answers to these questions directly from the manufacturer.

I'm just totally impressed with mine!!! It holds a charge forever and is an awesome Bluetooth system! I have had mine outside and inside and have never had a problem!!! I can't see it getting knocked over, it weighs like 32 pounds...there's stable feet on it and everything!

I just plugged it in my car and tried it and it worked. When I weighed it, it was 7.8 pounds.

Yes! When you set it up (both the scale and app) you select kg or lbs. Super simple. Hope this helps! :)

It is made for iPads so I would have to guess it would not hold much weight. I have never used it for anything other than my iPad.

I put a Garmin GPS on this. What would happen with too much weight first (probably) would be it would move at the swivel points. If for off road the impacts and inertia would reduce the weight it could take. I use these for all type of accessories on a recumbent road bike. Hope that helps.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I can tell, the anemometer itself does not use power. When I first used the device, there was no prompt to connect anything using Bluetooth, and the app registered readings right away. The headphone jack piece (which, I believe, is made out of solid plastic) seems to be solely used to attach the device to the iphone/ipad, not to charge or sync the device in any way. Even if you hold the anemometer close to your iphone/ipad without plugging it in, the app will still register the readings. I read that the anemometer uses magnets, so my assumption is that the phone can sense the rotation of the magnets in close range (maybe in the same way it can sense compass readings?). This is all based on my observations, but the packaging lacked any in-depth information so I hope this helps. If you're mainly asking whether or not the app/anemometer has problems connecting, I had no connection issues.

Yes, but you need to do a tricky button-pushing tap dance just after turning it on. I'm still not getting consistent at changing from pounds to kilos. If you can remember that 1 kilo = 2.2 pounds, it's not too annoying to do the math after weighing. I still think these units are a fantastic bargain; just the thing for hand held portable use in an engineering lab.

When i step on my scales, it automatically gives weight. I do not have on/off button. just make sure you have batteries in place hope this helps

If you stay actively weighing things...it stays on, but if you pause for 60 seconds...it will turn off.

I'm just using it as a dumb scale now; it does not operate on Android as promised. My suggestion is to keep looking...
