Stopped working in iOS 14

Ichibanmoto

It did work well but stopped working in iOS14.

This is not the most beautiful app ever designed but what does that really matter. This app gets the data from my amazing Iron man scale and helps transfer it to my apple health app. The rest is arbitrary to me. So long as it keeps doing its job I will be happy

100x the real weight!!!!!

100x the real weight!!!!! Kg or lb / metric or english. No way to work.

Doesn’t match the scale quality

I’ve several Tanita scales the quality of the scale is excellent but what the use of it if you have trouble transferring and reading the data, the quality of the graphs extremely bad as they advert in App Store... to look how far other competitors developed there software to make users friendly Tanita still in Stone Age unfortunately.

Terrible UI and UX

Raouf777

A company like Taninta that has been a leader in terms of high tech scales has delivered a very poor app that looks like something from the 90s and cost $500 to develop and design ! Check the smart Nokia scale and their app. Take notes

Terrible App

I got the Ironman RD545IM. It’s a $450 scale. Bought it mostly for auto sync data with phone. But this app is just useless. Does not sync my data with the phone. Always errors out. Stay away from Tanita until they improve the app 100 folds. Disappointed.

Can't add scale to app

Keeps crashing when I hit the + button to add scale. Makes the app completely useless.

Fixed App fails when adding scale

Prophet224

Update 5/22/2015: Changed from 1 to 3 stars. Turns out that the failure to add a scale was a lack of space on the phone. Without enough free space you cannot add a scale or pull new data. Now that that is cleared up, it works very well. Charts in-app are limited but recording and storage of data is great. Now - PLEASE work with folks like MyFitnessPal to get this app connected to the fitness app ecosystem. Lots of data here to dump into other systems but no way to do it other than manual. This would make this even more valuable than it already is. ------Original Review Below------------ Have the RD-901 that this goes with. It is a $250 scale and I can't use the app that goes with it. As soon as I click the '+' to add a scale the app fails by closing. Please fix!

This ecosystem (RD-901 scale, this app, and portal) is accurate and reliable but lacks data export!

This review is for the Healthy Edge app but I use it with the RD-901 and their free My Tanita web portal where you can optionally upload the data to via the app. The app both syncs with the scale and uploads the results to the My Tanita portal reliably. I own two other similar wifi scales and each have had some sporadic sync issues which were very frustrating. For both my wife and I the app has been very stable and not crashed. Nor have I encounter any bugs yet. When looking at the two other similar products I have used in the wireless body composition space, this ecosystem (scale, app, and portal) stands out as being more accurate, consistent, and reliable. This ecosystem lacks the visual bling and some of the “nice to have” features that the other ecosystems have but does excel in the most important areas—except one. It lacks the ability to export data outside of their ecosystem in CSV or any format. This app also stands out in one other area. It shows you muscle mass (and in weight, not percent of body weight). The other similar products either don’t show it or only in percent which is not a safe way to monitor muscle mass or lean mass. None of the other apps graph body fat as a percent of total weight and at the same time graph muscle/lean mass in pounds—very helpful. Overall I like the way the app displays data and the graphs that show multiple items simultaneously is incredibly helpful to see both trending over time and the relationship between different items (weight, body fat%, muscle mass, etc). The app has six different graph pages, each shows two different measurement items: weight / body water%, weight / body fat%, weight / muscle mass in LB/KG, body fat% / body water%, muscle mass in LB/KG / body fat%, body water% / muscle mass in LB/KG. They are great to monitor trending over time. Things I would like to see added to the app: 1.- Ability to export data as a CSV file 2.- Add ability to manually enter data. I would like to at least put some of my old data in so I can use a single app to look at older and newer data 3.- Bidirectional sync of data between My Tanita portal and app. That way the portal serves as a restorable backup resource of the phone app 4.- When looking at the listing of measurements, some type of an identifier (different font possibly or italic) on entries if there is a "comment" associated with that entry. Right now the only way to know what entries have a comment is to open every entry and school down to the bottom. 5.- When viewing an entry be able to use a finger to flick/swipe from left to right to view previous entry(s) and right to left to view future entries. Right now you have to hit "back" and then click in next/past entry. 6.- Have multiple user profiles on a single device. If your kids or spouse don't have an iPhone it would be nice to have multiple user profiles on the phone. 7.- If you enable Apple HealthKit than one of the user profiles would have be assigned as the primary to sync with healthKit Apple HealthKit integration - Weight, body fat, LBM, resting calories 8.- Show lean body mass in the app (I like muscle mass which it does show and keep that there). This can be calculated based on the existing info but would be nice to have in the app. 9.- Partner with MyFitnessPal.com and sync weight and body fat to their site. MyFitnessPal.com is the leading nutrition tracking site and your primary competitors in the wireless scales class (Fitbit, Withings, iHealth) all have APIs that transfer data to the MyFitnessPal.com site. Overall the app works well. I now use it daily, and am glad I invested in the scale and ecosystem. I would recommend the ecosystem to others over their primary competitors. Lastly, I would/will rate it higher when the ability to export the data is added and also restore data back down to the app.

Barely passable, but works

Somebody in a boardroom somewhere said "let's add app support!" as a feature purely for the perceived increase in sales and then commissioned a cheap companion app. Design obviously didn't matter. An intuitive setup process didn't matter. And making it easy to know if you've done something right didn't matter either. BUT! It does sync, and it does write to HealthKit, so it does what it's supposed to do and that's enough for me.
