Withings Scale is a wireless device for tracking your weight and if you happen to own one and use a Windows Phone, HealthWeight is an app you should get to track your data from the Scale. Beautifully designed, HealthWeight is a third party app developed by Valentin Michalak and Julie Grienenberger, a fellow Windows Phone MVP. The latter had a discussion with the Withings team about getting an app out for Windows Phone. Unfortunately, Withings was not at all inclined into making one. Fortunately, Julie and Valentin got together to fill in and bring a third party app for Windows Phone users. And Windows Phone developers excel at making such apps, even adding features of their own that makes official apps pale in comparison. Don't believe me? Check the reviews of Health Mate, Withings' official app for Android, on the Play store.
Thanks to HealthWeight, owners of Withings Scale WS-50 and WS-30 will be able to effortlessly track their weight and other health achievement on their Windows Phone. Besides owning one the above-mentioned scales, a free Withings user account is also required. The app will let you create one if you don't.
The app is available both in French and English. The overview in the store lists the following features:
- Possibility to view most important information and your goal in a dashboard.
- a "my account" page with important healthy facts and funny statistics like the number of times you used your scale.
- Many surprises.
HealthWeight is available free in the Windows Phone store. Julie Grienenberger stated on her website that the team is working on making HealthWeight even better. To me, this app would be perfect with Microsoft Band support. If health tracking is important to you, HealthWeight will be your best companion to reach your goals.
