5.0 out of 5 stars Great Smart Nutritional Scale for a Reasonable Price
Pros:Accurate MeasurementsEasy SetupClean, unobtrusive industrial designBT connectivity with good nutritional detailCons:Not integrated with common Nutrition appsRequires online account and possible personal info exposureThe Details:I recently purchased the RENPHO Digital Food Scale in order to compare it with my existing food scale, a Mackie C19. As a daily user of the RENPHO Bluetooth Body Fat Scale, I was curious if I would similarly like my experience with their nutrition scaleThe scale came in an easy to open package and was clean and orderly upon opening. The startup procedure was typical for this type of consumer device (pull battery isolation tab) and it was ready to go. On power on, i found it had a typical LCD screen with white backlight, and 2 buttons, one for Units and one for Power and Tare. Unit steps you through lb:oz, fl:oz, oz, mL and g (i assume the volumetric measurements are calibrated to 20C water). Holding the Power/Tare button down for longer than 1.5 seconds turns it off, shorter than that tares the scale. I did notice the Unit and Power/Tare buttons were a little loose in their mounting - something that seems like could be improved with a little more engineering.I decided to do a rough cal check, so i tared it empty and then added a 200g weight, to which it measured exactly 200g. I will likely check further weights across the range up to its far end limit to verify linearity, but for a single data point it was a good start.I next installed the scale's app called Gennec. I was a bit surprised to find that my existing RENPHO mobile app i use for body scale was not sufficient/integrated with the nutrition scale system, which seems like a bit of a miss as being a user I’d prefer one app from a vendor to support same/similar-type devices (scales). None-the-less, the app was easy to install, and BT pairing between scale and app was straight forward and trouble-free.From this point you are sent to add an account to Gennec (a little disconcerting to give your personal/health info to an unregulated Chinese company), and then setup personal info (height, weight, etc.) along with goals. This is necessary in order to make use of the Plate and Diary functions and is understandable given the nature of the scale. I'd personally still prefer this info just stay with the app and have the option to upload or not.Using the app, i found that it responded quickly and accurately to whatever was placed on the scale (readouts were consistent). I then tried changing the drop-down item "What's on the scale?" to try a food item. This brought up a new page with a search field, and i entered the ubiquitous 'apple', to which it found server options for different data entries (at this point I'm curious what database it is drawing on to provide food info). Reading the scale, it gave back nutritional breakdown based on weight, along with mineral and vitamin information which i felt was a nice plus. Back at the search page, there is also a tab for 'Recent' (self-descriptive), 'Favorite' (presumably can be added to, wasn't able to determine how), and a 'Customize' tab that you can add your own food item to.At the main measurement page, you have a lower tab option to add a 'Plate', which become a compounding measurement so you can see how far away from your target you are. Similarly, is a Diary that keeps track of daily intake.It's worth noting that it feels like the scale would show more value by integrating with existing and well-established nutrition tracking apps, such as Lose It! or My Fitness Pal. Even the RENPHO body scale integrates with my Fitbit app so i'm not having to manually enter the data every measurement, one of the biggest values. As a consumer i ultimately want one app the maintains all my fitness and nutritional data securely and under my control, and has whatever hardware devices integrating into it to make it efficient and more comprehensive This device has potential for that, but needs to provide the connectivity.With all said above, for a ~$20 scale to provide accurate, BT connected food measurements with nutrition breakdown as needed, I feel like this is a good value and give it 5 stars.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great food tracker, app needs some work
I received my renpho food scale and was instantly surprised by the great looking design. The scale already came with batteries which is a great plus. The setup was very easy and quick. Really you only have to download the app (the delivery comes with a little booklet explaining everything) and then pair the scale via bluetooth with the app. I had no issues connecting which was great. When I did use the scale on a different occasion again, it said it was offline. However, after I turned the scale off and on again the issue was gone and it paired again.Now, the scale is extremely accurate. I weighed different food items on my current food scale versus the renpho food scale and also checked on the accuracy of liquid measurements which was outstanding. I have not tried the coffee function since I have a traditional coffee machine.Talking about the app it definitely still needs improvement. The food item selection is small and you cannot scan bar codes or nutritional codes to upload food information which is a downfall. However, you can put in your own food items. It is a little work upfront but if you tend to eat similar food, it is worth it. I did have an issue with putting in any nutritional information which included decimals. I ended up multiplying it until all of the infos were whole numbers (you have to note for how much g / oz the portion is ---> e.g. 40g, 100 calories). I do like that if you weigh different ingredients, you can all add them to the same "plate" and it will provide you with the ingredient nutritions and the overall plate nutritions. Also, based on your personal information and goals it gives you suggested calorie and macro intakes. However, I do not think you can change your nutritional intake goals (I tried but it did not work). I have the renpho weight scale (for people) but I have not figured out how to connect it or if you can connect it with the app.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great scale, App needs improvement.
The scale: The scale looks really nice and the glass top looks stylish and easy to clean. The display is large the buttons are well placed and work well. It's quite small and hence portable and does not take up too much space, which is a plus. If you use large utensils to weigh your food, then there's a chance the display may not be visible but it's not much of an issue. The weight shows up in real time in the app and on the display which is great.The app: App is stable, UI is simple and usable. Sometimes it takes a couple of tries to recognize touch on some options. It doesn't seem very receptive on some screens. The biggest drawback is the food database. You can't find the right foods you want to weigh either because the food is missing or because there are way too many options for the same food type and you are not sure which to pick. This seems like a common problem across all nutrition scales I have read about so far. App upgrades are easy to push out to customers so I am hoping to see improvements in the app experience.Otherwise, happy with the scale. It's better than couting calories in Excel like I used to before and the app is handy for that. One time manual entry of foods and recipes might take sometime but eventually you will have your private database of foods and then on, life will be good.
