When I step on the scale, the number (my weight) flashes for a few seconds and then stops. Is that supposed to happen?

Yes, it flashes three times and then give you the exact weight. The flashes are its final calculations. All normal. I love this scale.
1165446
Yes. That is the correct weight. And when you step off, the correct weight is still showing.

It sounds like the scale needs to calibrate itself. when you first got it, did you step onto the scale to activate it and then off to get it to weigh 0 pounds? If not, you could try that.
1165448
Yes, that is normal. I was concerned about that too until I read the manual. That's the way the scale operates, a couple of flashes and then your weight locks in.

When I get on the scale, it stabilizes to the correct weight, flashes three times, and then stays on for 5 seconds as I am standing on it, and then turns off.

yes but to set the scale. you have to do it 3 times in a row. step on the scale wait until it stops flashing and do it 2 more times, the same weight should come up 3 times.but every time you move the scale you have to reset it this way

The same happened to me! I returned it directly to the manufacture if you're still on time to return it DO IT!! and buy a different scale! Hope my advice helps you! GL

It should turn off. Mine displays my weight after I step on the scale and turns off a few seconds after I step off the scale.

There are different timing slots...keep hitting the on button & it moves up the scale to longer on times. You will see a small green light move up the timing scale to different levels.

You just step right on. Then you have to center yourself and stay still until the scale blinks 3 times, indicating it has registered the weight. Then it saves it to compare to the the next time you weigh in. Love this thing!

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

No. It flashes the weight three times, then holds it for a few seconds. I've been writing it down to remember and keep a record.

The other answers are correct however that's when the scale is completely off and you step on it. If you put some weight on it to wake it up and than step on it this time would drop to under 2 seconds.

My experience has been that the number moves around quickly until it has calculated the precise weight - - but then it stops. Is your scale on a flat, hard surface? Please think about calling the EatSmart Products Team at (201) 465-4381 for help. They state that they are there to help.

You need to take about 30 0r so steps before it starts counting, but once it does it catches up. If you are still for a while it will do the same thing.

Your weight will stay on the display for about 3 seconds after you step off.

It takes about one second or so to register, but you don't have to tap it to get a zero like you do other scales. You just step on it and in about a second the numbers appear.

I encountered the same problems while weighing my supplements and nootropics. I just try to keep pressing on every few seconds. If that doesn't work, I click the button that changes the unit of measure until it goes back to grams again. I also try to weigh my stuff quickly as the scale does tend to turn off after a while even while weighing something. As for the stuff sticking to the scale, I don't know. Maybe I need to get small wax paper?

The digital numbers stay lit for at least five seconds after stepping off of the scale. I hope this helps.

I discovered after I had the same issue that I needed to press the scale quickly and let it "set". When you see the zero's on the display, you can then step on the scale and it will calibrate your weight. Hope this helps.

Maybe it needs a new battery. Mine starts reading immediately. Then takes about 3 seconds to find your exact weight.

You have to stand still for about five to seven seconds so the number 'locks' in. Movement of numbers is normal until it 'locks' in the weight. If it is not showing your weight in a reasonsble amount of time (within 10 seconds) then I would say it is probably not working correctly.
