NIH BMI Calculator App Reviews

CRAP! Unrealistic calculations! Im 6ft 260lbs, mostly muscle and says Im obese. Piece of s@#t

Uses correct BMI ranges (unlike OTHER calculators). Also, it seems some people do not understand that BMI does not measure body fat/muscle, so if it says youre obese but you know youre not, thats why.

Verry easy to use. For me great work instrument.

Pretty much useless.. It does not take in to consideration your build or body fat percentage.. Tells me Im "overweight" I work out 6 days a week and eat fairly well.. If it took these into consideration I would then consider giving this 5 stars.

No errors. Only one drawback, have to guess how much weight to lose to be "normal" weight.

Needs a place where u can record your daily weight and view it as a graph. Could use a lot of things, which would make it a complete package app. Perhaps a menu option for recording daily exercise, another option for tallying how many fruits/veggies u ate that day. I , personally would love an app that did all these things as well as keeping a record of my monthly cycle. Would be a complete package app. Apps need to do more than just one thing

It needs to differentiate between Male and Female because there is a HUGE difference.

BMI is a highly controversial way of determining whether someone is overweight. A person who does body building could have an obese BMI although having little body fat as muscle is dense and therefore heavy. Nevertheless BMI calculation is standardized by the AMA and is not gender specific. So the reviews criticizing this app based on not liking the results are not fair. This app does what its designed to do, which is to provide a BMI calculation based on height and weight without prejudice. What the user decides to do with that info is another matter. The app works fine.

Time to optimize for iPhone 5 for aesthetics. Otherwise a simple app that works just fine. Gives good advice.

Good App…. Straight To The Point

Got an issue where the input fields are non-responsive if you are on a phone call, ie if there is an active banner across the top of the phone. The tech support link for this app is also invalid, so seems abandoned. Prior to this I had used the app okay, long as you are not using your phone for calls or navigation etc.

I saw another post that says it doesnt work if you are on an active call and maybe this is why. Personally I think it should work all the time. The App Support also does not work. I do hope the problem is fixed soon.

This app is for older version of iOS

I like this NIH calculator online, but my iPhone app is now crashing. Has it been updated to iOS 9.0?

Found this app very helpful for a couple of years, but it no longer works with IOS 8. Wont even open.

It worked great when I first downloaded it. Now it wont even open. I have downloaded it and reinstalled it a few times and it still doesnt work. I will come back and give it five stars once you get this glitch fixed.

This APP no longer opens. When I deleted it and tried to reload it all I got was a black screen. Sad because it had been useful while working with patients in the past.

It has been a useful tool but, lately, it has been crashing. Please FIX IT!!

Tried several times and reboot and reload no joy. iOS 9.01

With all the upgrades it no longer works it used to be awesome however it doesnt even open app anymore instantly closes when I attempt to use it
