BMI Calculator‰ Reviews

I used the free version for years and loved it. It had ads that showed on the perimeters but that was fine, it didn’t obstruct the view. Today I opened BMICalculator and a ratings box popped up. I have previously rated BMICalculator on several occasions and I get annoyed when any app asks you to evaluate it more than once or maybe once per update. So I gave it 5 stars to get out of the eval process but I left no comments. The ratings box disappeared and I started to enter the first value when an ad banner popped up RIGHT OVER THE VALUE INPUT so I could not use BMICalculator . I tried to adjust the ad so it was not interfering with the normal function but I could not relocate it. So I got out and deleted BMICalculator and re-installed from BMICalculator Store but I got the same results. So I will NOT recommend BMICalculator to anyone. I would have given a lower rating but the least you can give is one star. It’s so sad because I really liked BMICalculator until the changes were made.

BMICalculator doesn’t track BMI over time, include age in the calculation, or shine your shoes. On the other hand, it also doesn’t use sliders that won’t stay put or include pop up ads that obscure what you’re trying to look at. It’s just simple, easy to read, and by golly, it works.

I understand free apps need to use ads to make money, and never had a problem with the unobtrusive banner ads they used before. But having to wait for an ad to load and go away EVERY time I open BMICalculator , even if I switch to another app for just a few seconds, is way too irritating. Especially when it screws up the input fields after you’re finally able to close the ad. I might have even purchased BMICalculator for a few bucks or so if that option was offered, but I didn’t even see a way to do that. Sadly, after years of use I will be uninstalling.

I loved how fast and simple BMICalculator was. The new aggressive advertising has turned me off. BMICalculator takes a long time to open now, due to having to watch an ad. You can’t even leave BMICalculator open, every time to wake up your phone you have to re-do another ad. Some of the ads have loud sounds so you have to make sure your phone is silenced. Too bad, I’ve used BMICalculator for years and turned many folks on to it. The ads killed the practicality of BMICalculator.

I’ve been using BMICalculator as an RN in a surgical center. But recently an ad has been added when opened. It’s annoying and unprofessional to have an app ad at the patient’s bedside. I’d pay a couple of dollars for BMICalculator to have it stopped but it doesn’t seem to be an option so I’ll have to look for another.

BMICalculator used to be fine. Easy, simple interface. At some point they added ads, and now it’s basically unusable. Sometimes 2 ads will load simultaneously, one on top of the other. Full screen ads with tiny buttons that are intentionally hard to tap. And when you close those, there are still banner ads. I wish I could rate BMICalculator negative stars, that’s how bad it is. Never using any app by these developers again.

Easy to use. No distracting moving background. Just the information you need. Well done.

This was my go to app for quick easy bmi calculation but of course they had to try to make more money off it by adding ads . And these are not simple short adds … no their loud obnoxious adds that have to run for a long time before you click out of them. They took a great easy app and screwed it up!!! Don’t waste your time or that’s what will happen you will be wasting a lot of time on the adds

Considering that this is the basic Body-Mass Index calculator, I like the features it has since it is user-friendly. The only drawback is the advertising but I guess someone needs to pay for BMICalculator .

Easy to use, quick results when time is limited.

It’s quick, it’s accurate and quite handy when you are on a weight loss program and monitor your progress.

Does the job, but If you hate annoying obtrusive ads that detract from BMICalculator , see if you can find an alternative app!

It’s fine. I kind of wish it would automatically advance you to the next entry field. But, it’s fine. I mean, it’s basically just a single math equation — there’s not really a lot of room for “wow! What a great app!” you know?

Nice app. Especially between doctor visits. Been taking weight off for over a year. Trying to stay healthier.

BMICalculator does just exactly what you could do in 1 minute with a calculator or pencil & paper.

Hopefully, BMR and waist-to-hip calculations like my favorite BMI app (* which needs to upgrade to iOS 11), are soon to be added. Adding charting for these functions would make BMICalculator out perfect, and just as good as my my favorite.

BMICalculator is working wonderfully for the longest time and now there are too many pop-up ads. I had to delete it.

App gives out misleading information and should not be taken as fact/seriously. BMI chart was created in the 19th century by a MATHEMATICIAN. It attempts to tell you your health status (underweight, normal, overweight and obese) using ONLY height and weight. But it is INACCURATE because it fails to account for a variety of other variables such as sex, age, race, body type, bone structure, musculature, etc. Look up articles on BMI from medical researchers.

This is a very simple tool to calculate BMI from height and weight without extraneous boondoggles along the way. Just enter height and weight and the BMI appears.

Gives you exactly what you need.

I’ve been using it for years with no issues.

Changes when I change the numbers. Very glad I downloaded BMICalculator.

Easy to use and very accurate, highly recommended!

It would be perfect if I have a paid version with no ads.

Excellent app I love it , so easy, so useful, solves my life problem at work with my patients in very little time. I recommend it to everybody .

I use every day for quick calculation on start of care patients for oasis obesity documentation. Thank you.

Been using app for a year, no bugs, simple to use.

Works quickly to complete my audits

I was truly paranoid I was over weight this did its job and did it good! No bugs scams ect. FREE!🤯

Simple & does what it says. I really like it!

Really easy to use

Would like an enhancement to see where a person’s BMI is along a graph of categories.
