Apps can be misleading. Some, like iScale, exaggerate claims, and make up things in the description. However, iScale is special. It is so incredibly stupid, that I’m sure that the vast majority of the downloads are from people seeing how dumb it is. You only need an IQ of 12 to understand that iPhones don’t have a built in scale. For god sake, some bend if you stare at them long enough! Imagine some 10 year old trying to weigh a heavy object, or his/her self! Sure, it uses 3D Touch to measure PRESSURE on the screen, but not everything is a fingertip! There is a saying in Popular Meme Culture, “Every day, we stray further from god” Nothing justifies this more than this app.

This review may seem harsh, I quite enjoy seeing and reviewing these dumb apps, so I can vent my concerns on the future of humanity.

If you have or will download this app because you think it will be useful (or will work). Just dont. But, if you want to become weary about the current state of the way we technology, or have a laugh, go ahead (just don't forget to delete it later).

PS: the ads every 30 seconds are also rather distracting.

Limiting the scale’s functionality to (undefined) capacitive objects undermines the app’s usefulness. My finger works. Yay! A coin doesn’t work, even if placed directly on the screen sans intervening paper (an insulator). That’s unfortunate bc I wanted to weigh a coin I’d purchased on eBay to help determine its authenticity.

Not everything weighs one or more ounces, and although the app appears to display weights in hundredths of ounces, it would be more useful, I feel, to measure in grams. Perhaps this feature is available when downloading the app from a country that uses the metric system (“i.e., “native units” mentioned in the description). The developer, however, did not respond to my inquiry regarding measurement in grams.

I’m assuming the reason developers use reviews is so as to make their products more competitive, among others. My review was not going to be a stellar one (it can be summarized in one word: frustrating) but: close to 80 reviews and only one raving positively ... well that speaks for itself (the haughty suggestion by the latter that negative reviews should be kept to one self.. well, that was funny).
