iScale: Kitchen Scale

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

Ok so for starters this app is completely free, so if you have something bad to say don’t say it. I feel like this app has a lot of bad reviews, but that’s probably ‘cause they were paid to do that. The app 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 this app 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 this app to write a good review

Limiting the scale’s functionality to (undefined) capacitive objects undermines the app’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 the app 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 the app 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.

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.

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)
