This has been the most influential weight loss app I think I’ve ever used! I lost ~50 lbs while using it, and while of course the app isn’t completely responsible it played a huge role. One of my big hang ups with weight loss is that when I see that I have gained weight, I get discouraged, even though we have completely normal fluctuations everyday and so many factors can contribute at any given moment (food weight, water retention, hormones, etc.). Happy scale let’s you see past that, and see that despite a slight increase on the scale you are still on track, which keeps me encouraged to keep going.

The only thing preventing me from giving this app a 5 star rating is what happens once you’ve reached your goal weight. I have now reached my goal weight, and use happy scale to make sure I am on track with maintaining. However, even if you are below your goal weight, if you lose weight the app tells you your trends have “improved” and that you have “made progress”. This is a very bad mindset, and encourages disordered habits. If I lose more weight I will be underweight! That should not be encouraged.

If the developers could find a way to make this language more neutral, I would happily change my rating to a 5 star (and even without would still give it 4.5 if given the option!).

Hey there :)
I just wanted to write and say how much I love this app. I have downloaded probably 40 or 50 different weight tracking apps and every single one was a flop. I attribute a huge amount of my success in weight loss to your little icon (and obviously the app it opens 😉). I’ve battled eating disorders, I’ve tried every diet and eating trend, and I have always felt my scale lurking in the corner. Whether it was there tempting me to see if that 15 minute bike ride helped me lose 1/2 a pound from my previous weight, or mocking me to let me know how much weight I’d gained from the 9 fast food meals I’d had that week. The scale was never my friend. Now this may seem silly, but your app name was what attracted me, happy scale. The little icon is so simple but I couldn’t help thinking “awwww that little face wants me to succeed”. Then, through using the app I realized something: weight trends. Over the months I started noticing patterns. I wasn’t just a fatty McFatfat. This little app gave me a happy place to see that it wasn’t always one step forward two steps back. I love the color schemes, I love the set up, I love watching the trends change when I log a new weight. There are so many wonderful aspects of Happy Scale thank you so much!!

About a year ago I was at my heaviest weight ever, just over the threshold of “obese.” I wanted to lose 60 pounds, but it felt like an insurmountable hurdle. Something made me give it one more try anyway after turning 40, and in May 2021 I set about doing the only thing that had ever worked for me before: portion control and taking opportunities to make healthier choices. I tried other weight loss apps, but they were overly complicated and discouraging. I saw someone mention Happy Scale and decided to try it.

The app is very simple, but I find it so motivating. I weigh myself almost every morning before eating. The fluctuations of the scale can be frustrating, but Happy Scale gives me a wider perspective and helps me see patterns. Less than a year later, I’m down 36 pounds (slow and steady on purpose), having just achieved a healthy BMI for the first time in about 8 years. Still making steady progress and expecting to reach my goal weight this summer. I’m really glad I found this app. It’s the little things like having to click to view my new trends when I make progress, and seeing my milestones fill in that keep me going! If I could change one thing, I’d like to see some confetti every time I reach a milestone 🤣
