  1. 5/5Feeling Better = Small Choices Over Time

    I was encouraged to get this app by Ree Drummond’s essay about losing 50 pounds which included a recommendation of this app. Within days it changed my relationship with the scale which I had avoided for 8 years as I healed from a lifetime of compulsive dieting. After healing my mind recently I came to the point that I wanted to feel better in my body. I wish I had this app years ago because I’d probably be working towards losing 5 pounds vs. 30, but so it goes! With this app’s moving average perspective and encouraging stats and colorful graphs, I have shifted my mindset about weight and weight loss. Slimming down is possible, even during menopause. It is a non-linear, slow-and-steady accumulation of choices. It helps to find a method of accountability that supports mental well being — this app is it! I am a cook, food and wine lover, and Intuitive Eater. For me, losing weight now is looking like a half pound per week, but I’ll take it! I have worked hard to bring joy and well being into my food relationship and now, feeling better in my body is happening too. Without Happy Scale I’m almost sure I would have thrown in the towel by now. Instead I am in the journey, curiously learning more about my body and my preferences. I’ve lost 5 pounds in a little over a month. I’ve been eating less and moving more and Happy Scale is helping me stay positive. Thank you so much, Russ!

  2. 5/5Customer Service

    Just wanted to state for anyone interested in this app that I relay like the app. I have used it (free version) on/off for 5+ years, most times for months at a time and at the longest for a year. My historical data has always been available each time I started using it again and through device upgrades. I started using the app again as recently as September 2025 and then upgraded my device in November 2025. When I went into the app after my device upgrade my data was gone with no way to retrieve it. I upgraded to the paid version, hoping that maybe my data would be able to be retrieved, at least the most recent data. That didn’t happen. I contacted the developer who gave me suggestions as to why I may have lost my data, none of which were applicable. Unfortunately, my historical data is gone. However, I write this to say how appreciative I am of the quick response (to not one but multiple email correspondences), the willingness to assist, and the understanding of my concerns. You don’t find good customer service often these days so even when issues are not resolved exactly the way I would like, I truly appreciate good customer service and like to call it out. This alone, makes me want to continue using the app. Good customer service goes a long way! Thank you Russ!

  3. 5/5Great motivator

    I am currently 33 days into the eating plan I will use for the rest of my life. I've been overweight to varying degrees since puberty (and I have a round face, so I was teased long before I was actually overweight), and am now working my way down from an all-time high of 210 (I'm a 5'6" female, so that puts me in the obese range on the BMI). I love this app, and all that it offers without having to pay a thing. After you enter your current weight and your goal weight, and choose a realistic rate for your loss, it calculates milestones and figures out when you will hit each goal, and it self-corrects every time you put in your weight for the day. I love the graphs (reminding me that, even on days when I haven't lost or may have even gone up a little, I'm still heading in the right direction and it's worth sticking with it), and my favorite thing is that, when you lose (even a tenth of a pound), you get to "tap" the screen to see your new tallies, for what you have lost this week, this month, this year, and all-time. It's surprisingly fun to see all those numbers circle around and settle on your new amounts! Right now, I'm out of work and battling illnesses causing physical disabilities so my finances are extremely tight, but once I have an income again, I'm definitely going to pay for the full version. I highly recommend you download Happy Scale and give it a week or two. If you like it, upgrade! Even if you don't love it, it was free so no harm, no foul, right? Happy health journeys to all!

  4. 5/5One of my favorite apps

    I’ve struggled with weight my entire adult life, and I love having data, so this app is pretty much perfect for me. Seeing the normalized trend, the rates, and various ways of projecting out into the future is incredibly reassuring and insightful. I can’t give this app high enough praise! If I could ask for one feature request, it would be a way to mark a date as a breakpoint in the trend. For example, I went on a week-long trip and by the scale weight I gained six pounds (it was AWESOME). I’d love to be able to not normalize across that range of time, and instead set the beginning of the trip, meaning the last date of regular weigh-ins, as the end of a trend line and start a new one upon returning. This would make it easier to appreciate the different phases of weight change overtime, or to see more discretely how a change in diet or regimen effects weight. Another example: I recently started intermittent fasting and my weight trend is very different. I’d love to be able to pin that date and the moving average trend leading up to it, because now my prior moving averages are all sliding down and I can’t see a clean break in the moving average where I started IF. The scale weight tells the story well, but the moving average smooths it out too well.

  5. 4/5Best weight tracking app on the market

    This has been the most influential weight loss app I think I’ve ever used! I lost ~50 lbs while using it, and while of course the app isn’t completely responsible it played a huge role. One of my big hang ups with weight loss is that when I see that I have gained weight, I get discouraged, even though we have completely normal fluctuations everyday and so many factors can contribute at any given moment (food weight, water retention, hormones, etc.). Happy scale let’s you see past that, and see that despite a slight increase on the scale you are still on track, which keeps me encouraged to keep going. The only thing preventing me from giving this app a 5 star rating is what happens once you’ve reached your goal weight. I have now reached my goal weight, and use happy scale to make sure I am on track with maintaining. However, even if you are below your goal weight, if you lose weight the app tells you your trends have “improved” and that you have “made progress”. This is a very bad mindset, and encourages disordered habits. If I lose more weight I will be underweight! That should not be encouraged. If the developers could find a way to make this language more neutral, I would happily change my rating to a 5 star (and even without would still give it 4.5 if given the option!).

The comparison is now a clean 7 days vs. 7 days.
