Crap

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

Good! I like it!

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.

Great

Verry easy to use. For me great work instrument.

Lol

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.

Calculates BMI, no ads.

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

Bmi and thats it

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

Error

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

Paramedical Examiner

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.

Needs an update

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

Nice App

Good App…. Straight To The Point

Only works when not on a call

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.

Cannot input data to calculate BMI

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.

Cannot enter text on IPhone 6 with swype keyboard

This app is for older version of iOS

Has this app been updated to iOS 9.0?

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

Good while it lasted

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

What Happened?

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.

Dead APP

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.

BMI App

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