I have had a very long conversation with your tech AI staff and its gone nowhere. No one can explain to me why the software must have a WIFI connection to use my SCALE???
It says bluetooth, then phone. The scale keeps track, the phone keeps track, and no where did it say it needed wifi to work. Eventually they added a screen saying - if you want to use your app you have to agree that we take your data. If you say no - it doesn’t let you use the app. If you turn off all data sharing in the settings. It still needs wifi to work.
Now I don’t get why they are being this protective about this. I can’t get my weight if the power is out or the wifi is down, and I assume eventually this company will vanish and the scale won’t work either. If you use this scale (scale X) in an RV that has no wifi access, then you have a basic scale and you can’t use the composition part. It renders it pointless.
All I want is to be able to use the app and it not needing a network access to use a scale. Its bad enough that it does this for private cameras, but for a scale? That makes no sense. I can’t think of a single reason why you need this data this badly. I’ve complained about this in the past already and nothing was done. And tech support is useless. The only time I got a human was when I mentioned that it looks like a hipaa violation, I still don’t know what you do with this private information if its guarded this deeply, with the refusal of even thinking about removing the network option.
