There are 3 people in my family that link to our one scale. It seems to link to the closest phone that has the app open.

I have linked it with 2 different devices (ipod and ipad) without any problem. So I do not see problem to do that you want to.

Good morning Keeon, Unfortunately our scale does not have that feature, but it does allow multiple people to have a profile on the scale (up too 8 people).

Hi Poly, I am still getting it up and running but pretty certain that it in itself only measures HR. But why it does that is handy for us who love using our smart phones for strava etc is it will translate all the ANT+ from my garmin tools (Cadence/speed sensor, Power Metre, foot pod) into a bluetooth 4.0 signal for your smart phone to read. Some of these are more or less effective on different Apps, Viii own app will receive and show all this information but for instance Strava won't show reading from the power meter. As i said its still new to me but overall Im happy with it. I looked at DCRainmakers review of the product before buying it and he goes very in depth if you want more info. Cheers

I just spoke with omron on the phone and it does not. Too bad. Does anybody know of a unit where you can replace the batteries and it tracks calories? (it would also be cool if it showed min, max, and average heart rate for workout, but lets not get greedy). Dave JacksonLogical Weight Loss Podcast

No app currently exist for the windows phone. The scale has a third party developed app so it's a possibility someone will create one for the windows phone. Another snag is that windows phones do not currently support bluetooth 4.0 so an app made by withings would have no way to talk to the phone. Fitbit has the exact same issue.

I agree that there is a lot of hype around Garcinia Cambogia, and that is only because of many famous people losing weight with it. You must remember that the advertised results are not the average result. You might lose a lot of weight, or you might only lose a few. Some people have reported that it didnt work for them at all. Its a weight loss supplement, and should be used a supplement to a healthy weight loss plan, if you want to get the maximum benefit from Garcinia.

D. Rein, I am debating purchasing one of these. I've really gotten into workout dvds and I'm tracking my calories without much success on my scale. I am hoping one of these can help me adjust my workout/eating to reach my goals. Which do you think would be better for me? I work a desk job so most of my day is sedentary. I'm also continuously tired and am excited to have something that tracks my sleep. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I try and use it, though it requires some more discipline from the person wearing the band than the step/sleep tracker. The barcode scanner works great IF nutrition info is available. I've found packaged items like wraps and salads from grocery stores don't always have the information. It's tough to always match food from a restaurant to what's in the existing library. It is a good feature, but keeping up with it requires you to do a little more work.

There is no login that I saw on their site, but you do need an account to activate it. So, I believe it pumps the data to their server, but I don't believe you can download it, short of ...allot of coding. They do have some tricky algorithms based on how I am seeing my activity tracked (i.e. less activity points but more calories burned) so I am not sure the data would even be real useable if it was captured. But, I do love it! If you are looking for a way to mine your life data in other ways than intended, probably not the solution. If you are looking to track sleep, activity, and be encouraged to take an extra walk or a jog once in a while, it does that exceptionally well.

The camera reads a code the scale generates. You can input manually as well. At first I thought it was hokey, but in all honesty it's worked well. I think, given the nature of bluetooth, this is a simple, but more utilitarian option. I can attest to having done this about 30 days in a row. Guess what? Monitoring your weight daily keeps you honest with yourself. This in itself will probably help you lose weight, if that's what you're looking for.

My husband uses it moe frequently than I do and it seems to wait for him to settle. We use the talking mode. Basically we tap with one foot, the voice prompts "ok, ready " then there is time to step on slowly, a wait time of a few more seconds to settle, then a voice reading of current weight, and once off she says "good-bye"... I think it would be an excellent scale for someone slowed by age.

Well the app limit is different on certain phones. I'm not certain on how many apps I could have gotten on the phone since I only had it for a short time and I didn't use that many apps. But I know I could have gotten way more than just one app on the phone at a time. I know that you can run facebook and check the weather on the Weather channel app that I had. But as for exactly how many apps you can get on the phone, I have no idea.

Honestly, I returned my Striiv because it was too difficult to use. I bought a FitBit which I use every day. It coordinates with MyFitnessPal eating and exercising program, sends me activity for the past week so I can compare. I love my FitBit but cannot help you with the Striiv.

We do not have an Iphone anywhere around; we do have an Android. That is what we used. Do not use the Iphone. You may have to download an app (I think it's called Withing); can't recall what we did but there was NO Iphone. Don't go there. We do like the scale and like that it syncs with our Android. It's fun to see that chart head downward. I just followed the directions. No IPHONE.

It varies from person to person. I started off with 2 for the month because I was sharing it with my wife. Its a great product. I've lost 12 pounds and I not finished yet.
