Newtopia

The latest update (Sept 2020) erased my weight history and personal accomplishments.

The app should be more like MyFitnessPal and offer more to it. It’s very limited, the only thing it really does is offer meal ideas (if you heart/like recipes it should go to a my recipe section with all your saves) and tracks your weight. Should get the option for calorie tracking and working tracking. The weekly goals are a little lame, would be better if the app had a place to track food intake and then the weekly goals would be more help. They should really take some of what MyFitnessPal is doing to improve the newtopia app.

My old body trace scale stopped connecting to this app. Tech support did lots of troubleshooting and determined the scale was bad. This time, they gave me an option between the body trace (cellular connection) or YUNMAI (Bluetooth connection). I opted for the yunmai bc at least then i know it would be based on my Bluetooth connection vs cellular which only worked in my kitchen (not the most convenient location for a scale!). YUNMAI scale arrived today and I got it working and connecting to my phone via Bluetooth onto their app. This is where it gets fuzzy...the directions they included with the scale for connecting to Apple Health and the newtopia app are not great. They’ve updated the apps ever so slightly, making the directions nonsense. I am unable to get the two apps to speak to one another without getting tech support on the phone. Most technology these days is intuitive and very user friendly...this app is not either of those things.

As many have noted, it doesn’t work with Fitbit and clearly has issues connecting to APIs. I’m using the BodyTrace scale and looks like it’s stopped connecting to that, too. I have an app (SyncSolver) that can sync my Fitbit steps to Apple Health and I’m using that for my steps since it seems like the Apple Health integration at least is working. But woof, this is a terrible implementation and I feel bad for the Inspirators who have to rely on this to work with their clients.

Very minimal and more irritating than helpful to the program. Loses connection to the Fitbit and syncs inconsistently. Displays “No internet” message when in strong internet locations. Sometimes ROUNDS UP on the scale readings. No way to track activity other than the fit bit. And here’s the kicker...I asked why the pdf guide they sent shows screenshots of activity-tracking in the app and was told that was an old version— so it must have done so in the past. There’s no food diary in the app—just the pictures. No nutritional tracking. No calories, no macro-nutrients. No in-app notes for between meetings with your inspector. The Newtopia program itself is pretty good but the app is a huge albatross. AND the iPad version is even worse.
