Pretty Great – mPort Review

I headed down to a store that had their box today and got a scan. The whole process was smooth. Only complaint is that the computer takes a long time to work - I suspect they need some servers in the US, closer to these boxes. I signed up for the app, paid for monthly service and got my stats. It's all good. I have no issue with their freenium model. They give next to no info for free - but remember there is a huge custom piece of hardware (their cube) that is required. Their costs are not the same as someone selling a software only solution. I have zero problems forking over a few bucks. I had a dexa scan years ago and it was $150. So I can't really complain for $5. The dexa scan is more accurate, but I think mport is more for relative changes rather than accurate measurements. It's probably close enough for me and most people. Now, my main gripe is with their business model. The closest box is not close to me. I would much rather pay a flat fee each time I go because I don't feel I can take advantage of a monthly service. If it was closer, maybe. But I will most likely use this a few times and cancel it for that reason. I could easily see using this weekly at my gym if it was there. Good work. Hope you guys do well with this.
