eufy Life

I had another scale that shall remain nameless that was supposed to do some of what this one does. But the extra features on that utter one stopped working about three moths in, and was just a regular, digital scale with button batteries, after that. This scale uses batteries I actually have in the house, PLUS the extra features work! And I can take my measurements with me to the doctor or fitness trainer (you know, if I had one) and show them where I am and progress I'm making. It's nice. I'm digging Eufy's products, so far! ❤

I love my scale. I had a Withings until it died and customer service was useless so I got this one. Set up was easy. I have two issues which keep me from giving it 5 stars. 1. I have to open the EufyLife app in order to save my measurement and then it saves the one so just took before I opened the app. Either save it without me having to open the app or don’t save it after I do another measurement. 2. Occasionally I have to login to the app. Not a problem but it doesn’t use Apple’s api to allow accessing passwords. I have to go out of the app, open 1Password, copy the password and go back to EufyLife. This is not ideal first thing in the morning with my glasses off!

I truly enjoy using (and looking at) my new C1 scale!!! Though for the first thirty, or so, weighings I was mostly only able to receive weight/bmi data; until I discovered a work around! For whatever reasons, my feet do not make proper electrical contact with the scale; I now lightly dampen the contacts with a microfiber cloth before use! Now I receive full readings over 90% of the time! I still occasionally receive just weight/bmi data, though only very rarely. On the APP side: I really like the additional graphics under the 'TRENDS’ section, though for myself the 'last' tracking does not assist me greatly... If you were to add some, or all, additional display options to 'TRENDS’ it would be a greater help! - Options: Daily average Lowest daily value Highest daily value Thank you for your time and Great Products!

They keep revising the “new” version of the app to make it more like the old version that most preferred, but it’s still more difficult to use. Historic data is difficult to read, and microscopic type is hard to read unless you’re on a jumbo phone or tablet. Body fat is accurate half the time, but shows 60% the other half (I’m around 18%). Also, muscle percentage by weight took a huge dip overnight several months ago, and appears to be two otherwise smooth and continuous lines of data. The core functions are there, they just need better organization, presentation, and data processing.

As a blind person i was able to configure this app without the need for any sighted assistance. Pairing the device the first time was a bit buggy. Initially the registration page would not go past the third page. The workaround was to go to Settings/Bluetooth and finding it there and then going back into the app. The device does seem to work as promised, but the layout is not suitable for VoiceOver and many of the buttons are unlabeled. Hopefully a future release will address these issues.
