Do yourself a favor: don’t buy this. I hope I can save you from making the same mistake I made when I trusted Hume. I received a beautiful but completely useless product that wouldn’t give me a reading 9 times out of 10. Like many disappointed customers before me (read other reviews), I just couldn’t get anything out of this very expensive product. It did not work. A 200$ scale should work. I sent it back in perfect condition (I mean can’t use something that doesn’t work). Full disclosure: I had thrown the original box away. They say a charger was missing: I never got one. A quick search online told me that we’re talking of a simple USB-A to USB-C cable. Okay! Of the refund they sent me, they kept 86.94$ for themselves and sent me back 97.37$. “Because they can’t resell” this lemon they send everyone, they explained. That’s right, you heard correctly: the hope was to just resell it (which they surely will anyway). I guess that’s the way they try to financially recoup this majestic fail of a product. I can’t imagine how many people will lose money on Hume products that don’t work properly and never do business with them again. Honestly, at this point, I hope Hume gets what it deserves for deceiving people who wanted to give them a chance. I plan to spread the word as much as I can: stay away from this company. There are better (obviously!) and much cheaper options out there. From companies who will respect and appreciate you as a customer. And not just pocket your money in questionable ways. I hope this helps!

I was wary about all the reviewers and connection issues. I did NOT have any connection issues and I weigh in every morning. Just open the Hume app first before getting on the scale. Weigh in AFTER your 1st morning pee and barefoot and the least amount of clothing as possible, same time every day. Right after 1st morning pee. This scale is so good, you can literally MIN/MAX your body and the scale is accurate enough to detect it. Such as, decreasing sodium and increasing potassium the scale showed the water outside the cells go down and water inside the cells go up. The next day's weigh in reflected this! I screen shot my daily weigh-in of the Hume app pages into an AI chat and we go over the results in detail. The AI explains to me why certain things are the way they are based on what I told it I did the previous day in regards to weight training and every thing I ate and drank. I highly suggest getting this scale. If I was only looking at pure scale numbers of weight, I would be thinking my weight training is NOT working. But because I have this Hume pod, I can literally see the transformation happening internally day by day. I started at over 26% body fat and low muscle mass, I'm now down to 20% body fat and lean muscle mas up from 127 to 131 lbs. But believe it or not, my weight is about the same. That would have been discouraging if I didn't know what Hume was telling me. If you have a big belly but can't really pinch that much fat, you may have mostly visceral fat and this scale detects your visceral fat as well. I highly recommend getting this scale especially if you are into fitness an body sculpting but also even if you are just a couch potato that eats to much junk food and just wants to lose weight. This will help you stay motivated in whatever regimen you choose for your weight loss journey. It's worth every penny. Consider this, you will have your own personal DEXA scan "like" scale at home. It's not an actual DEXA scan but it is very similar and does about the same thing just a different way. I LOVE THIS SCALE!

The biggest issue with the Hume scale is reliability. The app almost never syncs properly. To get a single measurement to register, I often have to open the app repeatedly, toggle Bluetooth on and off, and retry multiple times. Even then, it might sync once out of 15–20 attempts. At that point, it stops being a “smart” scale and becomes just a very expensive regular scale that shows weight — because that’s all I can consistently access. For a product at this price point, this is simply unacceptable. The whole value proposition is seamless tracking and data syncing, and when that core function fails this often, it makes the experience frustrating rather than helpful. I’ve used much cheaper smart scales that sync faster and more reliably. For the amount of money spent, this is easily one of my worst purchases. If reliability and ease of use matter to you, I’d strongly recommend looking elsewhere.

I was really looking forward to using this body pod, but i could never get it to complete a scan. I attempted to use it about 12 times on two different days, but it never completed a scan. I kept getting a red X in the app. I unistalled & then reinstalled the app, but that didn't help. I was really hoping this would help me & my husband, but i cant use it if won't complete a scan.

Incredibly disappointed with this product. Long story short, it rarely, RARELY, connects to the phone app, so I spend a lot of time stepping onto the scale and then off the scale in the hopes it connects to my phone. Their support team was as helpful as a hole in boat and I finally just gave up believing it will ever work. It now sits in my bedroom as a daily reminder of how foolish I was to buy it.

This is an amazing device, if you can get it to work into your schedule. I was planning to track my metrics daily and use this information to tailor my fitness plan to my body's needs, using the tracking data. My wife and I were able to get very detailed metrics daily for the first four days, getting up early and measuring before working out. Sunday we didn't get up as early as Saturday , but followed the instructions to weigh ourselves first thing in the morning. Everything worked fine on Sunday morning. But when Monday came we got up as usual and followed instructions to use the scale first thing but received this error message "Too soon for a new measurement. Your next recommended weigh-in is today around 7:39AM". So we went and worked out , and tried again after 8AM. And received the same error message. I contacted customer support and received a prompt reply to check the app and re-pair our phones with the Hume Pad. We did this , but the device still won't work on our schedule. The device implies that you must wait 24 hours between measurements, which may be optimal, but is not very practical in real life! I contacted customer service and received a reply that the Pad should work on our schedule. I provided feedback to customer service for troubleshooting, providing the Hume App version on our phones. I was expecting a prompt reply from customer service for how to fix this issue, but several days later nothing. I sent customer service a request for the Owners Manual , since this doesn't come with the Pad and is not readily available on their website, so I could understand how to troubleshoot the device and use the biometrics data and still have not received a reply. Reluctantly, I am returning the item since I cannot get it to work for me on my schedule and have no instructions for understanding how to resolve this issue

Was done giving updates, but I found out something VERY IMPORTANT! When standing on the scale and holding the 'paddle', your phone often shows a red 'X', in a circle I think, failed to gather readings. I used to repeatedly get off the scale and try again many times. Don't! IGNORE THIS error message on the phone! Do not get off the scale. Be sure your scale screen shows a STEADY Bluetooth symbol, not blinking. Continue to stand on the scale, very still, holding the paddle. The phone will continue to show nothing happening, but after about 10 seconds or so, the scale will begin to take readings. The dashes will start, then become moving little oval squares, and finally finish with showing your pulse. Once this completes, you will see your phone says, 'Weigh-In Complete' (verbage may not be exact). You can now release the paddle (gently!) and step off the scale. The phone, indeed, has gotten its readings! I've reproduced this twice so far. This was done on an Android phone, I don't know if this works the same with iPhones. ------- Ok, Final Update: Also, must turn on GPS (Location Services). It still behaves hit or miss, but continued trying and it eventually connects Bluetooth. For all the great info it provides, it's worth it (to me anyway) to put up with the connectivity issues. So, 4 stars for the issue. Update: Someone here said turn off Wi-Fi. I did that, and it works! I didn't have to even press the reset button. It not only connected to my phone, it immediately started taking readings while I was still raising the handle up to measurement position. Probably why it failed completing, but 2nd try worked! It completed all body metrics scans fairly quickly! I was very frustrated with the connectivity issues. But turning off Wi-Fi seems to have solved that issue completely! Try doing this and see if it helps you. 5 Stars!!! Previous Review: (1 Star) Very aggravated with this device! It worked a couple times, now it won't Bluetooth connect! I've reset it, made sure it's charged, nothing makes it connect! Useless!

Very happy with this. It was cheaper through Amazon than anywhere on line. With Prime membership giving free shipping from US to Aus. Product is genuine, connected flawlessly. The only real hassle is navigating through the Hume Health app in a way that avoids setting up a paid service. It's possible but care is needed.
