Using your Wii Balance Board as Smart/Wifi Scales

[OlsBean]

Not sure if this has been posted before? It's not going to be of use to everyone but it might interest someone, you can get app for Android Device/Phone that in effect enables you to use your Wii Balance Board as a set of Smart Scales, the app then syncs the reading to your Fitbit account or Runkeeper account.

I was thinking of purchasing some expensive Wifi Scales until I discovered this, instead I've dusted off the old Wii Balance Board that was residing in our under the stairs cupboard and I am using that

The App :- play.google.com/store/apps/...

Sounds very interesting. I have an iPhone unfortunately so can't take advantage of this. My Wii Balance Board will have to continue gathering dust.

On a different note the Wii Balance Board was my first (unsuccessful) attempt at getting fit a few years ago.

My balance board was also my attempt at starting to get fit, a good starting point!

Thank you for the heads up on the app, I may try it one time as I don't have proper scales!

I do wonder how accurate the wii fit scales are though!

Mine were spot on, exactly to the pound the same as my Weight Watcher Digital Scales when I compared them last night.

See actual scales say I'm heavier than what the wii ones do but only a few lbs! Been thinking about getting some proper scales too
