bello: Design a healthy life

Does not sync weight with health. UI for entering calories is very cumbersome. Main view resets a lot... My impression is they lost a lead developer and can't find a suitable replacement.

This app pulls data from Apple health but is unable to update Apple health. Otherwise it works great. But frankly the Apple health integration is odd. It pulls data but does not update Apple health. So this means Apple health does not get any fat percentage results from this app

I have tried several times to login via my gmail account, but am unable to. Keeps returning me to the first screen.

Updated review. The developer responded and device is working again. No complaints “Ran into same issue as others. Was working fine and now can’t get passed step 5 on measurements which means I get no measurements. Now it’s just an expensive piece of plastic.”

It kicks me out when i try to log in with apple id!! Can you please fix this issue asap? Thanks

Sign in with google keeps taking me back to the sign in screen after authenticating Update: resolved

Seems like a great gadget until you realize the app is unpredictable. Worked a few times then suddenly got stuck on step 5. No longer provides a readout. I am returning this product.

I kinda knew I was fat, but yowzers! The app and device are fun, if you really like measuring things which I do. I don't much care for eating well or exercising, I can get into measuring how fat I am. It seems accurate, and close to what I've seen with a calipers. The workouts and recipes are great, and the app is useful for that even if you don't use the sensor to measure. One thing though, Bello is connected to Apple Health but it can't read food data. I prefer to use a different calorie tracker which writes to Health and it'd be great if Bello could read that so I didn't have to manually type calories data into the app.

I have 2+ months of use with a Bello2 scanner and I’m underwhelmed and not impressed. Me: 62yrs old. 6’ tall. Collegiate, high school & private club fencing coach. July 15th weight 206#, Oct 30th weight 179#. Workout average 72 min per day. I cut my food intake and increased exercise to achieve weight loss. But I don’t give Bello2 any credit for this change because the tracking data and app descriptions are vague, trend presentation is poor, diet tracking and diet input is rudimentary, weight tracking and updates are usually 1 or 2 days behind current weight, if they update at all. I do a Bello2 scan daily. Weigh in daily. Waist measurement weekly. I put food religiously. Apple apps keep my exercise data, Bella’s app reads the exercise app data. But Visceral and Body fat readings bounce around, trend line presentation in mostly useless. Views are limited and vague. The app presentation does not utilize the screen size to an optimum. Apple, Withings, MyFitnessPal all let you look at your metrics with much better scales, trends, date ranges, etc. Food input for the diet portion, probably the best part of this app, is very basic. No code scanning available. No image scanning available. MyFitnessPal is easier, more powerful and shows data much better, the Bello2 should be able to link data from MyFitnessPal but it doesn’t. 9 Block Therapy is a good idea but vague and the calorie goal is the only portion of that therapy that is visible in the diet input area. But 9 Block recommends specific amounts of Protein, Carbs and Fat… which you must memorize or you have to go back to the 9 Block to refresh your memory. Bello2 recommends a diet that seems to not relate to the 9 Block goal. Bello2 recommends exercises that show up in a tiny screen, don’t rotate to optimize screen use, etc Honestly I like the idea of the device. The app works, I don’t have issues with connections or glitches. But it is just rudimentary and poorly executed. Integrate it with other popular fitness apps and improve the graphing, show real trend lines, etc etc etc and this would be so much better. I’m disappointed after 2 full months of use.

Body % varies quite a bit more than expected. Changes by 0.5% within minutes. Close enough though. Does not sync with Apple health
