A nice upgrade from previous Loftilla scale
By Steven B on Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2022
Easy setup with batteries included. App is nice, although because I had a previous unit on the app it took a while to figure out how to add the extra scale (instructions are available in the app but not easily navigable). My first weigh in indicated a body fat from the former scale (about 10% lower, so I'm not complaining ;), probably because of greater measuring accuracy rather than just algorithms. But what's cool is now I have multiple other measurements (13). I would like to see the accuracy of these compared to more expensive machines that precisely measure body fat. The upgraded display is nicer (see pics comparing), with a graphic chart I don't fully understand yet, but it clearly shows weight and Body Fat (weight displays first then few seconds later BF - I would prefer BMI over BF). The new scale was showing me about 0.2 pounds less than the previous unit, and then I weighed myself on another scale we have, and the new one matched it initially. However, in weighing myself several times repeatedly to compare, the loftilla readings were consistent but the iHealth varied repeatedly by a half pound or more. It could be because the Loftilla asks you to step on the scale first to zero it out, the iHealth does not. The app is good and has been recently updated. It even allows individuals to keep personalized data on each individual's phone app (I'm Android, my wife is Apple), or a family member can keep several on their own. I set it up on my wife's Android phone and it was very easy. The only criticism is I'm not sure of the need for the colored body graphic and circle chart, but maybe it graphically displays info I haven't figured out yet. I think monitoring BMI and weight is most important but it's nice to have the other data available to track over time. Basically, try and keep your BMI under 25. All things considered, we're very happy with the appearance and function of this Loftilla scale and corresponding app, and have recommended it to others.

Accuracy is wrong
By endwatcher on Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2025
First, the connectivity works fine for me and didn't have any issues with that. But the big thing is accuracy, I've had this a few years and always questioned it. Last couple months I've really been questioning it. Last month I've been in a cut PSMF of about 1000 calories "Im a 6' man with double that for BMR" And this thing one day will say +3 pounds, next day -4 pounds..etc .etc I don't know if any of you know, but that's impossible for someone who lifts and track every single calorie being 1000 calories cut from BMR to gain weight...defys some pretty fundamental thermo. Laws I'll be swapping it out, I can't be too mad..it is the cheapest of the cheap
