PREDICTIONS MAKEOVER

The Predictions card has been given a fresh new look! You can now name each prediction and tap it to open a beautiful full-screen view that shows exactly how it was calculated, with a share button to send it to friends and family. We’ve improved accessibility with full Dynamic Type, gone over VoiceOver with a fine-tooth comb, and added help links throughout to guide you through configuring the app so your predictions show the data you want to see.

CHART SHORTCUTS

You can now edit the row of date shortcuts below the Weight Chart. Add as many as you like, pick whatever time frames are meaningful to you, and arrange them however you want. Choose from “last X days,” “since a particular day,” or a custom date range.

FIXES AND TWEAKS

We’re always doing our best to make lots of small improvements across the app.

For more details on how to set up these new features, head to Settings → Help & Support → Recent Updates.

P.S. We’re proud to announce that our team has grown! For the first time ever, Happy Scale is now maintained by a team of three full-time people who all share a deep love of craftsmanship. We’re so grateful for the financial support you’ve given us throughout the years, and we hope to keep making this app better for you for many years to come!

WEIGHT TRENDS

Improved the 7-day trend to use true week-over-week comparisons. Previously, your best weight from the past 7 days was compared against a 10-day window rather than the previous 7 days, making the trend less intuitive for people who weigh in weekly. The comparison is now a clean 7 days vs. 7 days.

2019.5 2019-05-30
  • Fixed an animation issue when users hit 100% progress
2019.4 2019-05-08
  • Reduced download size for devices running iOS 12.2 or later
  • Fixed a miscalculation of all-time loss in rare circumstances
  • Fixed an issue with Dropbox authorization
4.8.4 2019-02-26
  • Fixed an issue where Dropbox sync would make the interface stutter
4.8.3 2019-02-14
  • Control the weight that predictions expect you to level off
  • Manually syncing to Apple Health is now available in the free version
  • Fixed: You can now hide older entries in maintenance mode

Hello! I heard from some users who like to set short-term goal weights, but would also like to see predictions that can predict weight-loss beyond that goal weight. This is now possible: Tap the gear in the upper-right corner of the Predictions box to control the weight at which predictions should assume you have reached your goal.

This version also allows you to manually sync with Apple Health in the free version of the app. It’s in the Settings under the Sync menu. Automatic syncing every time the app launches still requires the Deluxe Edition upgrade, just as it did before.

I hope you’re all having a great 2019!

  • Export a perfect copy of your data to a single file
  • Import this file on other devices to restore everything
  • App launches faster

Hi! If you’ve wanted to backup your data, or transfer it to another device, there is now a new alternative to using a Dropbox account.

You can go into the settings and export all your data to a file. This file can later be tapped on any iOS device to import all the data back into Happy Scale.

This update also includes significant speedups, particularly for slower devices. I found that for my older devices, the app now launches twice as fast.

4.7.1 2018-09-29
  • Added safeguards to prevent a rare issue when the weight units are changed to unspecified
  • Fixed sharing images to WhatsApp
4.7 2018-08-30
  • Faster app launch
  • Force-touch on App Icon to quickly add a weight now works even if you have a passcode
  • Improved color balance and readability for some color themes
  • Fixed an issue with setting up Dropbox sync
  • Small bug fixes
4.6.2 2018-07-13
  • Re-organized and simplified settings
  • Much more control over the smoothing math
    • Two new smoothing methods:
      • “Happy Scale Smoothing”
      • “Seven Day Moving Average”
    • Visualizations in settings to help compare methods
  • You can now export a CSV to any service, not just email
  • Removed “Logout” button if there’s just one user profile
  • “Tap To Release” is now an optional setting
  • Many small bug fixes and improvements

Use the Settings tab to try out the new smoothing methods. Give the new “Happy Scale Smoothing” a shot! It’s under the “How To Calculate” heading. I think it’s the best option for weight smoothing available anywhere.

  • Revising the Help & Support section
4.5.6 2018-03-07

Dropbox sync is now more robust, and it can recover from network errors gracefully.

If you use Dropbox sync, please go into the Happy Scale app settings and verify that Dropbox sync is still turned on. If it’s not on, turn it back on. Previous versions of the app would disable sync when they encountered errors that can now be handled gracefully.

4.5.4 2017-11-06

Minor bug fixes.

4.5.3 2017-10-26

Fixing a few minor layout fixes.

4.5.2 2017-10-19

Dropbox Sync users: This is an important update that addresses backing up and syncing to Dropbox.

After updating, the app will guide you through a one-time refresh of your Dropbox sync data.

4.5.1 2017-05-24

Howdy! This is a mandatory update for users who sync to Dropbox. Dropbox sync will not work after June 28th unless you install this update.

There’s some cool stuff, too:

  1. WEIGHT LOSS PROGRESS CARD ENHANCEMENT Now you can tap on the Weight Loss Progress card, and you can scrub your thumb left and right on the screen to look into the past & the future! If you’re a deluxe user, you can quickly browse the dates you’ll hit future weights by swiping right. Try it out!

  2. TOUCH-ID SUPPORT No need to type in your passcode if your device supports TouchID!

  3. TAP-TO-RELEASE ANIMATIONS You know how sometimes stuff’s animating before you’re ready, and you need to scroll down quickly to see it? Well now, animations are paused until you tap on the card, and then they are unleashed. That way you can see what changed based on your new weigh ins. :-)

  4. A BUNCH OF NEW COLOR THEMES Check them out in the Settings! I hope there’s something for everyone now!

  5. NEW OPTION: TWO DECIMAL PLACES Now you can show two decimal places all over the app. It’s an option in Settings > Miscellaneous settings.

Besides these things, there’s lots of polish and improvement sprinkled throughout the app.

I’d love it if you could leave a review or update a previous review (reviews reset with every release).

4.4.2 2016-08-15

Hi! This is a bug fix release.

  • I’ve been tracking down an issue where HealthKit sync is unreliable, and I think I finally figured it out. If you’re still having HealthKit sync issues, please contact me.
  • Your earliest report card will now show the amount of weight lost in the period. Previously, the first card would not include a note about how much weight was lost because there was no previous card to compare to.
  • A few rare crash fixes
  • (For users who just started only) If you are in the first few days of using the app, you may see your moving average values shift. In the first few days, I used to initialize your moving average inertia with the rate you committed to losing. This was weird because you could commit to losing 1 pound a week, and on day 2 it would say your moving average went down even if you recorded the same weight as day 1. To fix it, I now use a different averaging method in the first few days that’s based solely on your weigh-ins.
4.4.1 2016-07-28
  • Bug fixes
4.4 2016-07-21

Hi! A few milestone enhancements in this release.

  • ALIGNED MILESTONES
    • Now you can have milestones that align to nice round numbers, like 190, 180, 170, etc. Sound good? Turn it on by tapping the gear in the upper-right of the Progress card on the Summary tab.
  • OVERALL PROGRESS PERCENTAGE
    • Milestones are nice, but do you wish you could see how far along you are in achieving your overall goal? Tap the gear in the upper-right of the Progress card on the Summary tab to turn it on.
  • COMPLETE MILESTONE LISTING
    • You can now tap the gear on the Weight Loss Progress card, and then “How to split up my goal” to see a listing of all your milestones.
4.3.1 2016-05-20
  • Minor bug fixes
4.3 2016-05-18

Hi everyone! This release adds translations. If English isn’t your native language, I gotcha covered!

Also in this release:

  • Quick Add: If your iPhone supports 3D Touch (iPhone 6s or iPhone 6s Plus), you can push down hard on the Happy Scale icon to see your weight at a glance or jump straight to the add a weight screen
  • Tap on the summary tab button to scroll to the next card. (Small change, but I’ve been enjoying it.)
  • Lost more than 100? Now you still see the decimal point for how much you’ve lost
  • Improved performance to keep your battery life going strong
  • Fixed some infrequent but pesky little bugs that had previously puzzled me for ages
  • Robot-ized some behind-the-scenes processes so I can work more efficiently in the future.

I hope you’ve been kicking butt with your milestones!
