Good balance - as long as there is no problem ...

I have the scale for little more than a year in use. Very good, I find that I can control my weight over such a long period. So I can see when I have much increased, for example, and have also a long-term successful experience in weight loss. This is x-times better than snapshots or millimeter paper on the scale. In addition, you can see how far you've made it at the last diet.

The reviews for the precision I can not understand so completely, with me the data shown are consistent and even if the scale has an offset or drift it does not matter, since one still gets a knowledge gained through the long-term perspective.

The data are the same digital and can be analyzed further.

The associated Android software is not very good, the curves of the plots look very flat and the trend is to short. In addition, the values ​​are displayed very roughly. The user interface for displaying the numerical values ​​always shows only one value at a time - tables nil. You can scroll through the data, however, jumps one not of value to value but from day to day. If one wants to know how much you weighed before the holiday, so you have to laboriously wade through the holidays themselves.

I've Libra and i7 Weight Manager (respectively the paid pro version) installed and find both programs better than the software of Withings. So I am satisfied with Libra I see when I'll have probably ereicht my goal weight - for me an additional motivation.

Why then only one star, one might wonder:
-----------------------------------------------

Quite simply, I have changed the batteries after a little over a year. Since the balance does not transmit more data to the server, or the data is no longer transferred into my account. The scale maintains it Kostant would be blocked by the router would not connect to the Internet, even though I have tried this with several also completely part also open Wi-Fi networks.

I turned me to the support and get out of there no answer. The support is extremely difficult to achieve, there is only a web form and you are not sure whether the request is read at all. A phone number does not exist. The warranty conditions are extremely weird. Guarantee you only against presentation of the original packaging, which may also not be damaged in any way or glued.

The remaining conditions read as like trying to shirk the guarantee also in case of damage. I admit at this point, so I paid almost 10 euros a month for weighing and that's my opinion too expensive. The manufacturer must present a completely inaktzeptables business practices of the day, in addition I have also Proversionen the Androidprogaramme gakauft who have now lost much of their usefulness.
I'm really annoyed.

I would now no longer buy the scale.

Edit: Meanwhile, I was finally able to solve my problem: It appears that the scales with the IP configuration of the computer during the installation process tries to get access to the Internet. This unusual behavior leads to immediate suspension by my router. I have found that when I looked through the log files of my router. After I had temporarily shut down the control of MAC IP combinations, the balance could use again.

I suppose that this behavior serves, even if no DHCP is available the use to allow or to generate a more accurate error code. So quite kosher is not that, but I have to revise my negative vote anyway.
