★☆☆☆☆
This scale app wants ALL of your personal info, or the scale refuses to work as advertised.
It says the app keeps track of your weight. If you want it to do that, you MUST send that data to their server. Which means every time you get a weight update, Withings gets an update of your weight too. Want to do steps? Now you have to give the app permission to have permanent access to your GPS location. You can't keep track of it on your own in the app, nope, It wants anything and everything. This app demands access to your contacts list. It wants access to your CALL LOGS! Why? Why does an app need that? Why does it need my call logs in order for me to keep track of weight? Here's a hint, IT DOESN'T. It's as invasive and intrusive as they come. Check out the reviews on the play store, they are *AWFUL.* Might be a good scale, but the app is a nightmare. Which means you can't use many of the features it advertises. DO NOT BUY THIS SCALE.
