Starfit Reviews

I’m not sure why this is rated so highly- the scale is spot on but the measurements are WAY off in terms of BMI muscle mass body fat percentage, etc. I get dexa scans to compare and the scale is nowhere near correct. For some one who spent know anything about these markers it could be extremely discouraging. Also, the target weight it has for me would have to be me with very little muscle and almost zero body fat- which would of course throw my hormones out of whack. What an absolute mess for some one to have to wade through.

So, seems like every day or every other day Starfit makes you log back in and agree to the terms by making a selection. When I’m trying to get ready for my day the last thing I need is a poorly programmed app that wastes my time signing in. Then, if you use Fitbit, you have to sign in every time you sign into this app therefore, every day or every other day I’m signing into apps twice and it’s annoying. If anyone asked me about Starfit I’d tell them to save their time and use something else.

This is my third one with eight electrodes. The first one I ordered was a white one. I opened it up and you could tell there was prints, footprints, and fingerprints all over it. I sent it back. I received another one. Everything looked good, except the only thing it was giving me is the weight nothing else would measure. I called them, waited days nobody ever called back, Amazonwas not helpful with the product gave me a number I called him again received a new one yesterday trying to download Starfit again and nothing I think I’m done with this one/company.

Good app I’ve had it for over two years, but the only thing that I find disappointing is that it does not always measure all the task that is in Starfit for instance it doesn’t always do the body fat measurement. It may do the visceral and the subcutaneous and the mass, but it doesn’t always give me BMI. And I make sure my scale is clean and dry and also my socks are off and it’s truly getting my skin contact and it still doesn’t always give me BMI. I have also refreshed Starfit and sometimes BMI come back and sometimes it doesn’t.

The week section of the charts tab needs to have candle sticks for each week instead of a flat average. For example, I’m doing 75 Hard so I’m dropping weight fast with a lot of water intake and the first week I started at 237.9 and ended at 233.6, but the week just said the average of all with no way to look further into the numbers as you can only look back a certain amount of days in the recent section. It would be better to have candle sticks like a stick chart for the week section so you can see where you started, ended, and then the average too.

I also think it’s not right to include some of the other measurements since this is not an accurate device to be able to properly measure many of them. Take most of them with a grain of salt and get those tests done professionally.

I like the features in general, but I’m wondering why I can’t manually add past data to the calendar or delete data that should not be there. Tried adding manually and it only adds to today and won’t let me change dates or anything. Feels like those should be options for people trying to accurately track this. I’m also wondering why it keeps changing my target weight by .1 pound? Weird….

I’ve really enjoyed this scale and app. However, the last update messed up the charting feature. It used to be when you clicked on year you could see how your weight has changed over multiple years. Now it just shows your weight for the current year. The similarly impacted “month” and other measurements. I used to feel very encouraged when I scrolled back in time to see improvements in my weight, etc. I wish you would go back to how it used to be. Then it would be five stars again.

The scale paired with Starfit was a great purchase for the money. I especially like that it records my weight for me. Since I began using the new weight loss drugs, I am also interested in its tracking of bone loss. I knocked off a star because it didn’t always want to connect to my WiFi - but that might just be my computer setup. I like it enough that if it quit working, I would buy another one.

I enjoy using it. Even if I don’t open Starfit , the scale will let me add all the times I’ve weighed myself to my data so even if I forgot to open Starfit , my weight is still being measured and saved. I can also discard any that aren’t mine (like when my kids or husband get on) . Currently, I am pregnant and wished Starfit would add a setting or feature to measure bmi and weight gained separately or st least make a note that it’s a pregnancy timeline rather than just saying I’m overweight and aging excessive weight gain. And it doesn’t really bother me cause I just need to track weight but I’d like to see how fast I lose weight post pregnancy and how water weight and everything else changes. Overall, totally recommend and I love it connects to my Apple Watch too.

Overall app is good. One small thing that I would like updated - newish users of this scale cannot easily see a chart of progress. If I have had it for 21 days and I click on progress so far for this past month or past year, I cannot see my progress since day 1. It just says it’s not been a month (or a year) yet. I can only use the past week view. If I’ve been using it for 6 months, the year progress view won’t work because it’s not been a year yet. You should always show all data for any view as long as it’s less than that filter. For example, the year progress view should be all data up to 365 days. Clicking on a year view should still show 5/6/7/8 etc. months of data for a newer user.

Over the past month, the scale started measuring the other metrics—body fat, etc, without error messages. I found the language setting which is in Starfit itself. And was hard to find since everything was in Arabic. The language setting in the Settings app doesn’t do anything. So i’m increasing my rating from 1 to 4 stars.

Original Review: Most of the time, it’s telling me that I’m not positioning myself or holding the sensors project even though I follow the directions exactly. Also, about a month ago it changed to Arabic. I went to the settings and verified it was in English. Even if I switch it to Spanish, it’s still in Arabic.

I bought the run star scale to replace my witthings scale, because the RS has more functionality and I don’t agree with the Withings model of both paying for devices then surcharging monthly just to use Starfit that relates to the device. It’s nice that this one has full functionality without subscription. It also has many features that were not available on other scales.
We did have a scare today when Starfit did not work. However, it was very easy to get in touch with customer service and Starfit was fixed and patched within a few hours. Working perfectly again.

The developers may have made improvements because I’m not experiencing any of negative stuff being reported. The printing feature is especially cool. The only glitch I’ve noticed is the calendar says are hard to select when checking user data and sometimes the delete button doesn’t appear when swiping left to delete data.

My niece recommended this type of scale. It was very simple to set up, I could set my weight goal. It tells me how much fat/muscle I have and whether that is low/standard/high. Having this information is helping me to improve my weight and fitness levels. This is very important to me as I plan to increase my fitness as I move into retirement.

Thought I was having trouble connecting to my Bluetooth at first but turns out it was connected the whole time and logging my husbands weight on my phone. I think trying to connect both of our phones at once was the problem. I’m so impressed by all of the data this scale and app provides. I just wish there was a pregnancy mode so we could track my weight gain a little more accurately without labeling me as overweight. Otherwise, I’m very happy with this purchase. Thank you.

I just received my new scale (Run Star Smart Full Body Composition Scale) tonight. I couldn’t wait to see what I was going learn from the data. I am blown away!! Body fat% Water % muscle % would be pretty much great! But Starfit and scale take it to the next level, I mean breaking things down by arm, legs, core, 3 different types of Fat, bone density, bone weight, muscle weight, body weight with no fat. So pretty much NASA level stuff, then Starfit allows you to actually print the report, just like a blood test, with your levels compared to a standard range!! I am beyond impressed!!! 5 STAR!

My nutritionist recommended this scale and app to me after my Bariatric surgery and it has helped me a lot. I don’t believe everything it has to say but it keeps up with my bmi accurately and its weigh is the same as in my Dr office so it is so helpful. I love the graphs it’s fun to see how all my hard work is paying off

We bought their scale and I downloaded Starfit . No issues connecting. I did initially notice it would not get full readings. Now, I step into the show and get the bottom of my feet damp, wipe them almost dry and step on the scale. Works every time. A great tool to use for weight, fat and muscle composition measurements.

I need to make some healthy changes in my life and this will help me with reaching my goals. Just had a doctors appointment 2 days ago and the weight is accurate with the physician scales. Can’t wait to watch the numbers change with progress!

I chose this scale because I needed to track not just weight loss, but muscle gain,& to make sure I wasn’t losing bone.
Starfit is really easy to use and accurate. I have had only one issue in the 5 years I had it! Great scale worth every penny and Starfit use is free, which is rare these days.
I have actually recommended it to several people, who have also purchased the scale for use of Starfit .
