Bodymapp - At home body scans Reviews

by AlmRN

I’ve done the body scan exactly like Bodymapp tells me to FIVE times. It keeps giving me an error message and telling me to scan again. Someone needs to contact me so I can get a refund!

I was hoping this would be a good tool to monitor my members adipose tissue, but I dare say it’s good to monitor anything but the creators investments lining their pockets.

Pros: there really isn’t any. Bodymapp is highly priced and the free version doesn’t show you anything. The scanning is supposed to be thermal, but I really don’t believe that it is, but we all know thermal scanning can be skewed based off just room temperature. There are far too many variables in play with that method. Bodymapp is supposed to show body fat, but again, how? I have a lot of experience with DXA and even in body; I have cool letters after my name from big institutions, and a love for science; my point is that I’m not just some guy who went to a weekend course and opened a garage gym with my parents money.

Cons: Bodymapp is over priced for the lack of output. There’s not real measurements. It doesn’t even care if your weight is accurate. There’s no control like a caliper/pinch, or manual measure test needed.

Overall, don’t waste your time like I did. I was really hoping Bodymapp was going to be a game changer. Hopefully the developer reads these and changes their style to be for the betterment of society and get rid of their monetary hunger.

Usually, when there's a paid app, developers either offer a trial for some time (normally 30 days) with no limitations and then prompt you to make a purchase, or they provide a lite version that people can use but with limited functionality. I've never seen an app that does both: they promise 30 day trial but when you download Bodymapp they don't show you anything but your weight and height. You can't do ANYTHING AT ALL until you purchase the premium version. To me it's a scam, how is it a trial then if I can't do ANYTHING!! They don't even show your 3D image that you saw in the booth, none of your measurements. Scam and lies!!
It doesn't even make sense, you want people to like your app enough to purchase it, why the hell would I spend a penny of my money if I don't know what Bodymapp can do in reality (not in words and promises). I'm capable of tracking my progress without paying to scammers. Don't be stupid, don't enable and encourage dishonest developers like that by buying Bodymapp.

So I paid for the membership fall of 2018 and then found out they no longer have scanners in Southern California or anywhere in the United States anymore when I tried to get scanned a couple weeks ago! Ridiculous. Money grab.

by Truefitt

You could’ve at least waited a month before you start to ask you for a credit card and payments I deleted your app just quickly as I downloaded it it’s like a dirty old car salesman find to extract

by Amonty11

Everything is behind a paywall, you can’t access any of Bodymapp functions without paying. I understand that they need to make money however they should have at least a few basic functions available so you can see if you even find it helpful before committing.

by TYu2012

Camera doesn’t work even though it’s enabled. Am I missing something?

by Trippeclipse

My biggest problem with this is that the bodyfat % the one thing i came to Bodymapp for was behind a pay wall and i had to do the whole scan just to find out, the scan is also inaccurate at what it does show you. Overall garbage app do NOT download it. Devs should delete Bodymapp permanently. Devs if you see this delete Bodymapp .

by Jamcalis

Half the features of Bodymapp do not work. I have contacted body map several times and they have not fixed the problem. I paid for a year subscription and they will not refund me.

by *star_fire*

Subscribed to app only to find out my phone is not compatible.

by Ahpee

This is not worth downloading. It gives you obtrusive pop up ads (multiple!) before you do anything.
Once you scan it won’t give you any body comp data without upgrading (paying).
AVOID. I’m deleting now, after 12 minutes.

by I'm 19.

I paid for a subscription now app is not letting me log in. Just get a network error 7. Tried turning WiFi off and running on cell no difference. Reinstall nothing. Low quality for what you pay and nowhere to get in touch with someone on Bodymapp to resolve issue

by Nick M R

Did scan and it finished processing after the timer completed, then said no scan was done. App intentionally does not work of free version. Do not even bother using app unless purchasing(still has issues according to other reviews)

by Hassaan22

They make it seem like if you go to their cube, it will show you all your stats

Once you do the cube and they take all your info, they will tell you download Bodymapp to get all the stats

You download Bodymapp and ...... No stats. They tell you to pay them to see the stats.

Complete scam. Do not go to their cube and give them your info, and if you've already made that mistake, do not Download Bodymapp.

by Huinfinite

A horrible experience. Spent 1.5 hour and get a result to pay to see.

by Mahana53

Gotta give a little more to play with before asking for payment; cool scanning pod though, but a no-go

by Ya Tussles

Won’t even let me sign up

by Cow-man123

For free you can technically do a scan. It just lets you rotate it and see waist and chest measurement, which is all I really wanted anyway. But for one thing the scans and measurements are NOT reliably accurate. Like you can see misshapen parts of the 3D scan that are clearly wrong. But you must wait 10 minutes to even glimpse your scan to see if that's the case. Bodymapp makes you pay for literally everything else, even just comparing 2 scans. Shows you ads every time you do anything. Don't even bother.

by Love This Awesome Game!

First scan was okay, it was cool to see Al the measurements already there, however the second scan used a different height and weight on my report then the height and weight I entered therefore generating a useless report for me to use for comparison during the trial period.

by Charl1eee

I downloaded Bodymapp because i was simply curious. I started doing a scan and everything was going fine until it started uploading. The loading bar we go all the way up and then just freeze. I’ll wait for about 30 minutes and the scan was still not “complete”. I tried closing and opening Bodymapp multiple times and it was the same issue.

by Kateuhlyn

The first couple times I used Bodymapp because it was pretty close to what I measured myself between the scale and body measurements. Then this week it told me I had gained 11 pounds in 3 days among other dramatic changes that were inaccurate. Today I tried to login and Bodymapp glitched and just wouldn’t let me login at all. Uninstalled and re-installed and still wouldn’t let me log in. I haven’t even had Bodymapp for very long so I feel like I waisted my $.

by Virginiaplain333

Cool in theory, but comedically inaccurate. My scans a couple of weeks apart indicated that my body fat went up 4% (I’ve lost weight and gained muscle), gained 6 inches on my chest, and lost 1.5 inches on one of my biceps. 😂

by Jaydeep88

Need improvement. It doesn't calculate stats correctly. Initially it showed my body fat % as 13% , next week it showed 16%.

by Bebelier

As they require your credit card details for something they offer as “free” I will may sign for this program, now I don’t rely on them.

by Rather

I like the info. I signed up for a year. Can’t get it to export data to Apple Health though. I’ve checked all settings and allowed to share data but no sync. Frustrating!

by Kingsemaj

I’ve been using this for about six months or so. It is a cool concept but it needs a lot of work.
Pros:
I like that it giving you 3D scans of your body so you can see all your problem areas and the overall shape your body. It shows you measurements of different parts your body ie: waist, biceps, thighs, etc. It takes these measurements plus your weight to give ball park BMI. You can also compare older scans with newer scans to see what has changed about your body with is pretty awesome, less you fell off the wagon and gain 20 pounds.

Cons:
Not enough pods. Finding a pod to scan in can be difficult. You might have to drive far to get to one. Also, the pods don’t seem to work properly all time. It’s good when it works but if it doesn’t, it’s all bad. It’s about a 50/50 tossup if the pod is working or not. That is a big problem. Sometimes the pods would make these deformed scans of you and everything would thrown out of wack. I is a problem with the lens when this happens. The other times the pods would be out of service waiting to be fixed. I’ve driven multiple pods in a day without getting a successful scan because these issues.

Overall, it’s good if it’s working. Would give 2.5 stars if I could, since works about half the time.

by Kady Pilar

There’s been multiple times are scan myself, and it just doesn’t come out correctly. And I have to keep rescanning myself. Super frustrating when you get a notification I didn’t scan when you’re at work.

by Ria Talken

I had high hopes for this and the idea is great. I guess it sort of works, but in no way is it accurate. Maybe it is the fluctuations of daily scan positions but how can a bicep go from 8.8 one day to over 11 the next?! I am using it now to just give me a general indication but not for accuracy

by Tim Aboudara Jr

I made an impulse buy from an IG ad but am really interested in if this thing works. My first avatar looks like a mud monster, so I’ll be trying the process again.

by NYC5

Very cool functionality. People pay a lot for scans like this. Bodymapp should allow for multiple profiles for family.

by DMFrenchie

I simply love Bodymapp. I’ve always wanted an easier way to get my body measurements and Bodymapp provides me with that and more! The only reason I didn’t give it a 5 star rating is because I wish it would allow you more time to move into position for creating your avatar.

by Awesome Soo Much Fun

Great app

by Zloo

first of all, to the developer, i got an email saying you were closing up shop. but here you are with updates. im confused!

as for a review, this was great when you had a measuring pod at my LA Fitness gym, and they've been getting harder to find.

when there WAS a pod, it was a great specific visualization of how my body was changing thought the working out process.

can you tell me (and us) if your business is really dead?

by @dbh

I headed down to a store that had their box today and got a scan. The whole process was smooth. Only complaint is that the computer takes a long time to work - I suspect they need some servers in the US, closer to these boxes.

I signed up for Bodymapp , paid for monthly service and got my stats. It's all good.

I have no issue with their freenium model. They give next to no info for free - but remember there is a huge custom piece of hardware (their cube) that is required. Their costs are not the same as someone selling a software only solution. I have zero problems forking over a few bucks. I had a dexa scan years ago and it was $150. So I can't really complain for $5. The dexa scan is more accurate, but I think mport is more for relative changes rather than accurate measurements. It's probably close enough for me and most people.

Now, my main gripe is with their business model. The closest box is not close to me. I would much rather pay a flat fee each time I go because I don't feel I can take advantage of a monthly service. If it was closer, maybe. But I will most likely use this a few times and cancel it for that reason. I could easily see using this weekly at my gym if it was there.

Good work. Hope you guys do well with this.

by Elva Bairstow

Love using this app for measuring my body and tracking progress - I also use the measurements for online shopping which is super helpful!  

by StacyB_SoFlo

I plan to get a Dexa to compare but so far this is amazingly accurate. I absolutely love the graphics and features. I have shared with my RKC coach. Highly recommend giving it a try. You won’t be disappointed!

by Dray88123

Really powerful information and statistics. Love the fact I can do unlimited scans and at the privacy of my home. Quite cheap if you do a scan per week. Love it

by FU9innings

Bodymapp is a game changer in helping me track my fitness goals. Especially comes in handy while I’m traveling. Easy to use and great accuracy. Would highly recommend to anyone trying to stay on top of their physique.

by Seitz Letha

Especially love the this app health report and avatar comparison! Tells me so much about my body. ​ ​   ‍ 

by April8991

I am so glad to have found this app. I was going to the gym 4 times a week and eating in a calorie deficit, the scale wasn’t changing much and was sometimes going up, I felt like my hard work wasn’t paying off. Bodymapp helped show me that even though the scale wasn’t really moving, my body was physically showing progress and losing inches. Bodymapp is great if you’re on a weight loss journey and need something to help celebrate those non-scale victories.

by Melander234

The mPort pod just showed up at the LA Fitness near me fairly recently, and I think I was intrigued and scared of it like most people. Just the idea of getting mostly naked in this box in the middle of the gym while it scanned my body seemed frightening. But I've been really trying to get into a workout routine and wanted to accurately track my progress (and avoid self-indulgent progress selfies), so I gave the mPort a shot and it was fantastic!

The mPort itself plays really calming music and a lovely Australian voice guides you through the simple process of getting scanned, and then the beautifully designed app shows you your info. If you're on a free account, you'll get your weight, height, BMI, and a couple other things that are really useful. But when I paid for Bodymapp , the additional measurements were so useful in tracking my progress. The 3-D avatar especially is amazing (though maybe a little discouraging when you're still starting out) and overall Bodymapp and service has been wonderful!

by Pilotpete1993

this app makes it easy for me to track my fitness progress when I’m on the go. I can easily track my body fat and fat free mass which has been super helpful for me to see whether I’m making gains in the gym. The avatar comparison is great as well!

by OKCboiii

As someone who takes my health and fitness seriously, Bodymapp has allowed me to track my progress and stay motivated to continue to improve. The technology is impressive. Never had inconsistencies in my experiences. One of my favorite health/fitness apps!

by Michelle K3

Bodymapp is a game changer in mapping my fitness progress! Because the scale tells an incomplete fitness story, I used to measure body parts with a cloth tape to track my progress. That was so time consuming and honestly, I likely inaccurate as I had to estimate exactly where to measure (while my body is changing). This is so easy - AND ACCURATE! Yep, I measured with the tape after the scan the first 2 times to verify. I’m hooked. It’s great to see my progress weekly as others see it with the avatar. My one and only complaint is that there isn’t a way for me to share an invitation for my friends and workout buddies to join inside Bodymapp .

by CheyMK2016

Wow! This thing is almost spot on! I had some measurements I took manually and they were within a few inches of Bodymapp! Which makes sense as I had lost about 15 lbs since my measurements. I am floored by how amazing it is! Huge motivator!

by Ellisleo21

I absolutely love mPort. It’s so convenient for me to get in the pod while I’m at the mall. It’s truly helped me keep motivated as I continue my health journey. At home, it gets a little discouraging when the scale doesn’t go down a lot. But then I get scanned and see that sure, maybe I only lost 3 pounds this month after rigorous training, but I’ve lost 4 inches from my waist and my biceps have grown an inch each! AND I can physically see the changes in my body thanks to the 3D model of me. I also love that it gives a pretty accurate reading of body fat percentage.

Honestly, for less than $40 a year, it’s an amazing service. Only downside is that it’s obviously not available everywhere, but it’s so amazing that I had to take the time to write this review.

All the complaints are just about people having to put credit card info for a free trial. News flash, most all services require that to avoid abuse, even Netflix! And I read that some people couldn’t see all the stats. Just give it a few minutes after inputting your cc info. Close Bodymapp and log back in. It will grant you access to everything as promised by the free trial. And you’re free to cancel it before being charged. I know because my friend didn’t want to keep it and she was able to do it easily.

But definitely try it. It’s amazing.

by Amanda2028

I love seeing the physical progress not just progress on the scale! It’s pretty cool to see how and where your body changes every month!

by Queenelizabitch

Bodymapp makes tracking fitness changes easy! Very much more positive than weighing yourself. Super excited to be using this to track my journey.

by Karlyday

Great app for tracking progress

by Going-gone

Great and unique way to stay accountable.

by Steeeevoreeeno

Sometimes the measurements are off and I need to redo but all in all this has been a useful tool.

by Kelliebellie1

The scale doesn’t move much for me, but Bodymapp lets me see how my muscle progress is doing. I love it!

by Desiromero71

I love how I’m able to see my progress!!! Easy to use and keeps me motivated!!!
