Team review

" Track your daily weight ! "

The application has not yet detailed description, however the team assigned the note of 9 / 10. This note is based on the following criteria: Quality, Usefulness, Ease of Use, Privacy Concerns of user data (depending on the permissions required)..

The app is compatible from version 4.0 of Android. Any supperior OS version will support it.

Its weight is light enough, less than ten MB (3 MB exactly) are needed to save to their device and use it.

Its number of downloads in the Android Market (Google Play) makes it an extremely popular application and rightly so. More than a million users are using it on mobile or on touch pad.

Positive review Where is the Widget by anonym
@Daniel.... with the material design update i lost the widget.... wich for me is fundamental.... is it coming back??? PLEASEEEEEEE. For the rest of the app is perfect i use it daily since 2012!!! With the no adds wich is worthit!! 4/5
Negative review Nice app with cloud problems by anonym
I really love the app but for some reason even though I connect to Google fit it doesn't provide Fit the data nor is it somehow backed up? 2/5
Positive review Great app! Wish list follows; by anonym
Would love to be able to add waist measurement the same way weight and body fat is entered, and have a separate curve for it. Being able to set the time of the daily notification would be useful as well. And last but not least; integration with exercising websites such as Endomondo and RunKeeper would be absolutely brilliant. 5/5
Positive review Data is beautiful by anonym
Weight fluctuations are annoying but no longer misleading or confusing. Use this app and daily weighing to get a trend line that shows you without question whether you are losing, gaining, or maintaining your weight. 5/5
Positive review Hacker's Diet mobile app by anonym
Good implementation - all the bugs I've seen have been fixed. However, the "Trend Analysis" seems to use the recorded scale weights for its calculations, rather than, y'know, *trend* weights. 4/5
Positive review Great interface by anonym
I love it, especially the trend line. I do have one gripe: you can't edit time and date in entries. See, I've been manually entering past entries from another app. Sometimes, I don't notice that my input's wrong until I already saved it. The app, for some reason, allows edits to everything but the time and date. However, the line graph (weight across time) is useless with incorrect dates. So I have to delete the wrong entries and input everything again. Hope an update fixes that small issue. 4/5
Positive review LIBRA by anonym
I have had this APP for a number of years on multiple DROID Phones & it does a great job for keeping track of your weight & keeping track of desired goals. The only downfall of keeping the free version is all the malicious onslaught of pop up ads that continuously appear on the bottom thread. It is worth paying the nominal fee, but as long as the ads do not annoy you, the APP is fantastic for keeping track of your weight. 5/5
Positive review Best app of the kind. by anonym
I was successful b4 using this app n now I'm using it again as I got a bit lazy last 2 years so am hopeful that it's gonna help me this time 5/5
Negative review Desperately need sync/back up by anonym
Good functionality, usability, and interface, but tired of losing all history should I get a new phone or need to reset mine. Looking elsewhere for a better option. 2/5
Positive review by anonym
Been using this app for about four months and I've lost 10 kg (22 lb). I really don't think I could have done it without Libra. Unlike most fitness apps it shows a trend for your weight, so you don't get that soul-crushing disappointment of stepping on the scales and seeing you've gained a kg - because it takes into account the overall average and you can clearly see that in reality you're still losing weight. It boosts your motivation like nothing else. It's a wonderful feeling to just look back on the graph and see how much you've lost. Only complaint (a very minor one) is that Google Fit integration doesn't seem to work. 5/5
Positive review by anonym
According to the Libra FB page, the developer hasn't done anything on Libra since 2013. so I think anyone asking for new features is out of luck. I love this app and have used it for years, but I almost lost two years of data when I switched phones last year (it said it backed the data up to an external SD card, but it turns out it didn't). Thank goodness at some point I backed it up to my computer in CSV format so I at least have the data. If you have an external SD card, make sure you save it there, plus upload it to the cloud via dropbox, google drive, email it to yourself or back it up to your PC. 5/5
Positive review by anonym
I love this app. I love the trend calculation, that I can customize the smoothing and forecasting days variable, that the zoom works so smoothly. Libra helps me track my weight without having a panic attack - before, daily weigh-ins practically induced panic attacks because it was hard to convince my brain that an increase of 5 lbs is within the bounds of daily fluctuation. Now, I watch my trend weight instead of my actual weigh-in which keeps my moody reactions down to a minimum while staying on track for weight loss. Lost 15 lbs while using this app. However, I miss the old diet plan date setter. After an upgrade, the calendar view is shinier but it no longer tells me "your projected diet plan is based on a loss of .5 lbs/wk plan" or "3 lbs/wk". The old version of the diet plan scheduler was hugely helpful in setting reasonable goals. Please roll back or re-introduce the estimation of how many lbs would have to be lost per week to achieve the goal. 4/5
Positive review by anonym
It's a very useful app to track your weight. I only have a few complaints. First it would be nice to be able to sync across devices. For example it would be nice to enter a value on my phone and be able to view the graph on my tablet which displays the info better because of the bigger screen. It would also be nice if you could view the value of a data point directly below the data point. And finally it would be great if it was able to sync with fitbit or other apps so that I don't need to up date my weight there. 4/5
Positive review It's good, but could be better by anonym
I've been using this app for years, but it has annoying inconsistencies. The "cloud sync", for instance, refers only to the Withings scale. When you export data from one device, it exports to Google Drive, but you can't import from Google Drive, and the export doesn't put a .csv extension on the file, but import requires that extension. But all in all, I like it enough to donate the max to get rid of the ads. 4/5
Positive review Wonderful + feature idea by anonym
I love this app. I have used it for a few years and it really can help keep you accountable to yourself for your daily choices whether you want to gain or lose. One feature I would love to see would be a measurement journal. Right now I keep my measurements in a spreadsheet, but I would love to put all the data in one place. Additionally that would allow you to do the measurement of waist to hip/height for health in addition to BMI because BMI isn't really accurate for people who have high muscle mass. 5/5
Positive review Must-have for Slimmers! by anonym
My weight seems to fluctuate wildy, even when I am meticulous with calorie-counting. A bad weigh in ruins my resolve and seems to turn into "cheat days", "diet breaks" etc... Libra solves the problem! It shows me that, even though my weight might be up today, my overall trend is downward. My weightloss has almost tripled since I started using Libra. Thanks Libra - I love love love it!!! 5/5
Positive review James by anonym
This is the best weight app for recording your data. It's easy to enter your weight and set goals. The graph axis are varied enough to show decent trends in your weight fluctuations. Most other weight apps have such a large y axis reading you can't see your weight trends. I have been using this for years, easy to export data so you can load it back on to the app when you up grade your phone. Well done Libra. Cheers James 5/5
Neutral review Google fit issue by anonym
Libra was picking up the Google fit's weight entries pretty well until some days ago, now it doesn't seem to pick them up at all.. :( please take a look at it, I'll try to help with more info if needed. 3/5
Neutral review by anonym
This would be a great app for logging/managing weight loss and would be 5 stars if it could sync with the cloud and my other Android device. Without the sync option it is only OK. If it had sync they could easily charge for it. 3/5
Positive review Updates Rock! by anonym
This app just went from the best free weight tackling app to the most STELLAR app on the market paid or free! Now it shows the weigh-in time, bmi, body fat percentage, and separate charts for everything. So so cool as I just bought a scale calculates body fat percentage... now I have a place to track that progress which is essential when you are working out and feeling discouraged because the lbs on the scale don't reflect the work you're putting in. Love it! 5/5
Positive review by anonym
Everything's great. Love the stats and export options. A simplified raw data graph without the trend line as well as a dark oled mode would be very appreciated. 4/5
Positive review by anonym
Provides exactly the right amount of functionality. Only complaint is that it sometimes doesn't deal well with screen orientation changes (i.e., from landscape to portrait). 5/5

Positive review Excellent by anonym
A well designed app that is also maintained. One of the few apps that I use every day. 5/5
Positive review Excellent by anonym
Great tool, thanks for fixing the Withings sync issue. 5/5
Positive review Responsive by anonym
This app is for data nerds, it is based on "The Hackers Diet." I am impressed by how fast he updated the app to fix the bug that was introduced when Withings changed their API. 5/5
Positive review Good app by anonym
It works well and integration with Google Fit is a big plus! Consider entry for body water percentage. 4/5
Positive review Excellent by anonym
This brilliant app actually helped me loose weight when all else failed. Only by monitoring progress can one actual reach one's distination. 5/5
Negative review Annoying video ads by anonym
Useful app but adware sucks, and motion/animated/video ads are especially annoying. Sync appears to be working again at least. 2/5
Positive review Excellent app by anonym
Good functionality with updates from time to time. Nothing is worse than an awesome app that doesn't get updates or bug fixes over time, becoming irrelevant. This app is worth buying the premium version. 5/5
Negative review by anonym
Very good, but often stops synchronizing. I've had this app for less than a month, and twice it has refused to synchronize and obtain my newest weights. The first time it eventually worked after a few days. Hopefully that will hold true for the second. Update: After using this app for six months, the problem persists. The last synchronization was a few weeks ago, shortly after I updated to the most recent version, which promised a synchronization fix. 2/5
Negative review by anonym
Really disappointed with this app. Easy to use, great features, but the trendline makes no sense at all. Of 21 data points, the first is on the line, 19 are below it and only 1 is above! When I enter a point which would be above the line, the line is hiked up to go above it, so the line is flying above the data by about two pounds on average. I don't know what is going on with the maths here but it is a mess. I have tried playing with the settings but I can only make it smoother or rougher - I can't make it actually show a proper trend that makes sense with the data I've entered, meaning all its helpful numbers are just so much gibberish. So disappointed. 2/5
Positive review Back up doesn't work! by anonym
I'd been backing up my data weekly to my SD card. Just got my new phone yesterday, went to import database and it says "database empty" - 3 years of data lost! Fantastic! 4/5
