User Reviews

Users praise its simplicity and basic BMI calculation, noting it works as a straightforward tool. However, frequent crashes and the lack of decimal input in metric mode are persistent negatives. There is also debate about including age/gender inputs. Overall, it's a usable basic calculator when stable, but reliability and precision issues limit its usefulness.

Pros

Simple, easy-to-use BMI calculator that works and does what it says.
A handy basic tool that helps users stay informed while losing weight.
Calculates BMI correctly and is straightforward.
Keeps interpretation simple by not giving professional medical advice.

Cons

No decimal input or decimal places in metric mode; precision is lacking.
App frequently crashes or won’t load after updates; unstable on multiple iOS versions.
No input for age or gender; mixed opinions about whether they should be included.
Not as accurate as some other BMI apps (possible rounding issues).
