Read the instructions
Before I decided to buy this, I made sure I read a lot of the reviews. Most people with problems noted that they couldn't connect to the app. I hope this info helps you, so you don't cast this product aside based on your own mistake.
- The instructions provide a QR code to download the app, along with what the icon looks like. For Apple devices, no problem here. For Android, the code sends you to an updated version with a different icon. The play store has 3 different versions of the app: the one the QR code sends you, the one with the icon example, and a completely different one. The different one doesn't work, but the other 2 do.
- Make sure your Bluetooth is on and the app is open when stepping on the scale (with bare feet, or it will only read your weight). When you see your weight and the flashing Bluetooth icon on the scale, press the Bluetooth icon on the app. The app will then connect to the scale. Don't try to pair it using the system settings! It works more like a Bluetooth-on-demand sort of thing.
- CALIBRATE IT FIRST!!! My wife freaked out because it said she was 10 lbs heavier. I placed a 25 lb dumbbell on the scale and it read 29.8 lbs. I then read the instructions about calibrating it and once I did, the 25 lb. dumbbell read 25.2 lbs.
- If there are more than one of you using the scale, don't stand next to each other with both of you having the app open or it will try to connect to the last users phone. When it sends the data, it always will asks you if you want to import the data, so you won't have to worry about it recording the wrong info.
- I would have given it 5 stars if it would connect to some of the fitness apps out there.
