Over the past few years I'd become conditioned to expect to see weekend weight gain followed by weight loss during the week in a repeating cycle of ill discipline and expanding girth. However, the previous 2 weekends have shown a loss of slightly more than 3 lbs from the Thursday or Friday weight to the Monday weight. Since my data suggest that I need to run a deficit of 6319 kcals to lose 1 lb, I should predict a loss of slightly more than 1 lb from Friday evening to Monday evening because I'll have a deficit of about 7300 kcals by the time I get back to the scale from the previous weighing 3 days earlier. Taking 3500 kcals as the deficit needed to lose 1 lb, I would have expected to lose 12 lb. It says that I've lost 6.6 lbs in those two weeks. It tells me that in the past 2 weeks I've burned an average of 2979 kcals / day more than I've consumed. I've been watching the results for 2 weeks now and it seems that fitday is not accurate in terms of predicting how much weight I will lose based upon how much I eat and how much I do. Pro: app hooks up to my scale and tells me my weight.Runnergirl fitday tells me that with a Sunday of mostly sitting quietly and sleeping I'm burning 3653 calories. Pro: app hooks up to my scale and tells me my weight. Secondly, take the data you’re gathering from the scale and translate it into charts and graphs that are meaningful and can be interacted with. Why can’t I tap on that date and see that info. I try to tap on January 2nd and the screen slides to middle of February on some random date. When you go to user data, it asks to access your calendar for some reason then shows you their calendar which doesn’t work. If you’ve been using this app less than a year, it just shows you a dot. You just choose “Day” “Week” “Month” or “Year” and it shows you a line going down or up with random dates. Thank god there are actual numbers to show your weight. The data they show you is confusing at best. A couple other reviews I read seemed to agree. I know “Cherry” will respond to this saying “user experience is their biggest concern”, but it’s not. What I’ve been doing over the course of time is what I care about. Are we comparing where I was last year to this year? Who cares. Do I NEED an app to tell me that I’m losing weight? Not really but it would be nice to be able to make sense of the graphs. I’ve started using another app just for better feedback. Developer will state they care about user feedback and experience but lack of any real changes to the app says otherwise. I have used other apps and the CDC website for comparison.
The graph looks like I’ve had very little change when it has been over 50 lbs. I have consistently been losing weight but this app fails to provide any real reflection of that. Breaks down skeletal muscle, bone density, and water/hydration (reason for 2 rather than 1 star)Ĭons: compares to previous weigh in, month, maybe year? Difficult to decipher data. Pros: connects to scale easily, never had an issue. I use it because it connects to my scale but honestly, I’m not even sure why I do.
This is, by far, one of the most user unfriendly apps I have ever used.
