Clinical review
Reviewer: Dietitian App Review Working Group, Auckland DHB Date of review: July 2015 Version: 3.1.6 Platform: Android Comment: Very simple and user friendly tool to monitor weight. Useful for people who want to track their weight and waist circumference. The other tracking options such as body fat and muscle may be useful to a selected group of users. Safety concerns: Possible risk as there are no alerts for weight goals outside of healthy weight range or setting unrealistic weight goals." New Zealand relevance: Allows user to individualize measurement settings. There is provision for measurements of weight and height to be set to metric units such as cm and kg, which are used in New Zealand.
