Does this scale automatically sync to your iphone app or do you have to take pictures of the scale and then add it the app?

Im very disappointed so far...the scale will synch my weight, but not my body composition numbers to the app..... I have the correct scale; but it's not even measuring the metrics; the whole reason I even bought the scale to begin with. Im likely going to return the scale.

It is not automatic, but the app has a camera tool built in, so as soon as it focuses on the scale and locates the weight reading, it scans the data and shows you the result for confirmation. On my tablet, somedays that only takes a second or two, but sometime the camera focus won't lock on, and it takes 5-10 seconds. ( But I am pretty sure that's my tablet's problem )

The app synchs when you scan the code that appears on the scale after you weigh yourself

You have to first get the app for your IPhone. After you step on the scale and weight yourself, you can take a picture of the symbol and it will scan into the app on your phone. Or you can just manually add it, which I ended up doing.

According to the User Manual, the scale can be calibrated. We have tried the feature, just for fun, and by using a 100 g. weight, it gets calibrated automatically. Simple to follow instructions.

This scale is a joke, it says it will automatically sync to the app on your phone. NO IT WON'T! You have use your phones camera to snap a picture of a bar code it displays after you weigh yourself. It has be done in a well lit room or it won't work. I'm sending this junk back. Very misleading and an attempt to cheat the consumer.

I didn't like the scale because it is not accurate. In answer to your question, it talks to the same apps that Fitbit talks to for example MyFitnessPal so it does work with Fitbit.

I do not think it actually syncs with anything. I always just had to key mine into my own logger manually. Just went and read it, and nothing says it syncs with anything.On another Note, i bought the Withings Scale after a year with this one, and it syncs, but it still does not sync with Samsung health either. If i was to make another purchase, i would base the purchase on what works with myfitnesspal, since it just got bought by underarmor, and i doubt samsung health will be relavant much longer unless they really work on their network of supported vendors. (i love samsung, but nothing syncs with them, no scales, no heart rate monitors, the calorie tracker is difficult to use, etc). I do not think it actually syncs with anything.

Greetings Ms. Irvine, I am not sure if this has software to sync with the iPhone apps; however I can tell you that we were very disappointed when the product broke after 30 days of use. I would recommend the Polar monitor with chest strap. I had one for 2 years with 5 days/week of use with no problem until the battery went out.

I just step on it and it reads in a regular, digital display...I first thought maybe I had to activate it with my foot first and wait for it to go to zero, like previous digital scales...but this one just needs to be stepped onto like a regular scale... hope that helps

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 have found that the actual weight does show up, if you have set up the app correctly. I also have lbs gained and lost.

Mine did. http://myweigh.com/view-all/ agrees that it still does. Great scale - someone liked it so much that it disappeared when I was moving.

With the iPhone app installed, the clock syncs automatically when you dock. Same with alarms that you setup in the app.

It happens automatically. I think u have to set up your profile first. After that you just stand on the scale and it does the rest. First comes your weight and if you stand there for a few seconds, you'll see it calculating. Gives you all 4 readings.

Still learning how to use it, but it tracks steps, miles, active minutes, calories burned and other things if you set them up. You put it on you somewhere (pocket, bra) and it will track this activity each day. I have already synched it to myfitnesspal and the new Aria scale that I just set up today. If you use myfitnesspal, it will add the calories burned from fitbit to your total calories allowed to give you a net consumption each day. I am still testing this all out, but I think it is a good way to track your activity, food and weight without having to enter information in multiple places. I like that the fitbit synchs to my computer and iphone via wifi. Still learning how to use it, but it tracks steps, miles, active minutes, calories burned and other things if you set them up.

I have the same problem. I cannot figure out why, I don't even sync it to the app. I can get on it and get a weight that is about 2 to 3 lbs higher than what I get after 2 or 3 times on the scale. The reason I noticed is that the weight seemed off so I weighed myself on other scales I have and all of them read about 3 lbs less than this one. ??? I will email the company and see what gives. Good Luck.

The camera reads a code the scale generates. You can input manually as well. At first I thought it was hokey, but in all honesty it's worked well. I think, given the nature of bluetooth, this is a simple, but more utilitarian option. I can attest to having done this about 30 days in a row. Guess what? Monitoring your weight daily keeps you honest with yourself. This in itself will probably help you lose weight, if that's what you're looking for.

No, it records directly to the I-Phone and functions as a stand alone app. If you want the app to add the data to a map and advise other users in the area of your measurements, then an internet connection or cell phone signal is needed.

Yes. The app is free and works on all Android smartphones and Android tablets. Also available in ITunes for Apple products. Upon purchase you will receive a welcome email with links for app and easy setup video. Unlike most other scales, this one works with older smartphones.
