iScale: Kitchen Scale Reviews

Ok so for starters iScale is completely free, so if you have something bad to say don’t say it. I feel like iScale has a lot of bad reviews, but that’s probably ‘cause they were paid to do that.
iScale for iPad Pro is amazing. It works with Apple Pencil. On iPad, your finger won’t be measured but the Apple Pencil will. You can see how much pressure your applying the Pencil to the iPad. It’s actually pretty cool, so you know not to punch too hard or too light. In conclusion, I would give iScale a try. It will work for iPhones. But for iPads, you need an Apple Pencil to use it. As for the developers, good job and very unique! :)

Note: I think I am the first one on iScale to write a good review

Apps can be misleading. Some, like this app, exaggerate claims, and make up things in the description. However, this app 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 iScale.

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 iScale 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 iScale ’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 iScale 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 iScale 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).

Design is terrible. Not user friendly. I expected it to be a scale, and it opens up to an area where I can buy a bunch of scales. I’m not sure I understand it. I think the sign of a good app is to open it and get it right away. This felt like I just opened an advertisement, which makes me think that’s all it really was. 2 thumbs down. Shut it down.

I’m wondering if I have a account with you. Someone was messing with my phone.

Thanks

Doesn’t weigh anything except literally pressure from your fingers when pushing on the tiny “place item here” square. Unless you want to weigh the pressure/force you are pushing (with your fingers) And I know it’s “free” but still not even worth the time to download!!!
I rated a “1” only because there is not a “0”(Zero)

When I first downloaded it, it actually did work as a scale. Now the scale function is gone and it’s just an entire app dedicated to advertising scales. Literally. That’s all it does is tell you where to buy scales. I don’t know what happened and I don’t care. Terrible. Avoid at all costs.

Touch the scale *AD* place something on the scale *AD* try to reweigh item *AD* finally get to use the scale without an ad popping up and......it is extremely inaccurate. iScale is broken and in my opinion I suspect it is just a trap to get you to view ads so it’s creator could collect revenue.

This scale list that it is compatible with IPhone, however it is not compatible with IPhones. I’ve noticed that you MUST have 3D TOUCH on your IPhone. I’m using IPHONE XR. Maybe there is an app for 3D TOUCH.

Too many Ads! Every second a new ad pops up. The scale didn’t even work with actual objects it would only show numbers if you pressed your finger down on it. And no I didn’t get paid to write this review.

It doesn’t work, I tried to weigh a water bottle and it said it was 0 pounds. Highly unlikely that it is 0 pounds. Also waaaaay too many ads. I couldn’t even try to weigh something because I kept getting ads.

You should disclose in your app description that your app will not measure anything but rather give your users a basic Google search on where to buy a scale.

Downloaded the scale, tested it. It doesn’t register any weight, iScale will only send you to push marketing ads. Don’t waste your time, or your memory on your iPhone. It simply isn’t worth it.

I thought it was going to help me use the phone to weigh foods.
But it seems, it opens up links for you to buy physical scales from stores.
Unless I’m not seeing something.

Not very reliable tried to get it to measure in grams but no reliable results

It won’t sense the ganja! What heresy is this?!?!? How did Californians mess that part up especially since it’s a kinda a legal thing there anyways.... lol i can’t blame apple... but good attempt at a scale. Just try again.

iScale is misleading it’s not a scale, but provides links to scales you can purchase.

The one review giving it five stars has to be the maker of iScale , because NOTHING in the review is true.

I thought I would be able to use my device as a measuring device
And

You know the reason your finger works on the phone and not much of anything else. I’d hoped they’d found a way around that. They haven’t. No capacitance no measurement = useless.

It doesn’t weigh anything correctly and besides that you get nothing other than pop up as bad as Anets it’s total nonsense and bull crap don’t waste your time

I try using it and it only goes up to 20 oz.
When I’m finished using it ads pop up I don’t recommend iScale
