BMI Calculator for Android App Review

BMI Calculator is a free app available for the Android. Your BMI is your body mass index, a measurement of overall health that is one of the most used in the world. Despite some criticism being sent its way, it remains a great way for you to get a snapshot of your overall body health. This is done by comparing your weight to your height and computing based on statistics how far you are away from what would generally be considered the optimal weight for your height.

Calculate the BMI in your case

The main purpose of the BMI Calculator for Android is to go through the calculation for you. Although it cannot weigh you or measure your height (it’s on a cell phone after all), you will need to accurately do both of those things on your own. The good news however is that once you’ve done this, you can input both of them into the BMI calculator and it will tell you exactly what your body mass index is. The calculation has been verified to be accurate many times, so you don’t have to worry about getting any false results. Other calculators are out there that may make mistakes, but this is not one of them.

Get a basic interpretation of your results

Although the BMI calculation is definitely the main part of using this Android app, it is not the only thing that you’ll get out of it. In addition to getting the number that corresponds to your own BMI, you will also get an interpretation of the results. You’ll be able to find out if your BMI indicates that you are underweight, in the right weight class, overweight or obese. All of those things are possible interpretations and in certain cases you might even get a little bit more by way of interpretation out of this program.

Final Score

We have given the BMI Calculator Android app a final score of 8 out of 10. It does a good job for its purpose, but it is not a very intricate app and for that reason can’t get as high a score as more intricate apps that are just as good at fulfilling their purposes. What the Android BMI Calculator mobile application will do is let you know if you need to see a doctor or not. Do the calculation and if you are overweight or obese, paying a trip to the doctor just to make sure everything is okay might definitely be a good idea for you.
