Weight Gurus scales sync to Apple Health through the Weight Gurus app: open the app, choose the Integrations section, and toggle Apple Health. Each person needs their own Weight Gurus account. Greater Goods doesn't document whether past weigh-ins transfer to Apple Health when you first connect.
Trendline is an iPhone app that reads Apple Health. Everything below assumes an iPhone; the destination for your weigh-ins is Apple Health, which Android does not run.
Who makes what
Weight Gurus scales are a Greater Goods, LLC product, and the app that serves them is Weight Gurus (4.4 stars, about 1K ratings when we checked — a modest count for an app this old, which says more about its niche than its quality). Greater Goods publishes other apps too, including one called Balance Health; the scale setup guides we read on greatergoods.com point scale owners at Weight Gurus, so that's the app this page covers. Unlike most brands in this cluster, Greater Goods maintains real, public support pages per scale model — a genuine outlier among the app situations we've cataloged — and answers its own support email and phone line in the app's review responses.
Three ways a reading travels
Greater Goods documents three distinct connection modes across its scale line (weightgurus.com), and which one your scale uses changes your habits more than any setting:
- Wi-Fi: the scale sends results through your home network to your account's cloud — the vendor states no phone is required after setup. Per the Wi-Fi scale guide, a missed sync isn't lost: the scale beeps three times, stores the measurement, and attempts again the next time you weigh.
- Bluetooth: the vendor's own two-step description on weightgurus.com is: open the app on your smartphone, then stand on your scale. The open-app habit isn't folklore here: it's the published procedure.
- AppSync: the no-radio fallback: open the app, stand on the scale, then scan the scale's display with your phone camera to capture the reading.
Greater Goods describes the scale-to-Weight-Gurus step in each mode; Apple Health sharing is something you switch on inside the Weight Gurus app, as described next.
Turning Apple Health sync on
Vendor-documented, from the model support pages: "The Weight Gurus app integrates with Apple® Health, MyFitnessPal®, Fitbit®, and Google Fit®" — to manage integrations, open the app, choose the Integrations section, and toggle the platforms you want (Greater Goods support). The vendor's pages place that section in the Settings menu on one page and the side menu on another — wording that may predate the 2026 redesign — so expect to hunt for a moment; the section name is the stable part. Those support pages still list Google Fit, but the app's own version notes (5.0.4) say Fitbit support is moving to Google Health, so treat that list as partly dated. The App Store listing describes the Apple Health result: "Automatically share data with Apple Health, Fitbit and MyFitnessPal." iOS will show its standard permission sheet when you first connect; the switches live afterward in Apple Health (profile icon → Apps → Weight Gurus) and iPhone Settings → Apps → Health → Data Access & Devices (Apple's guide).
One vendor-documented rule matters for households: each person needs their own Weight Gurus account — two users can share a scale and even a phone, but each must log into their own account to sync their readings (Greater Goods support). If a family member's weigh-ins are missing, the account they were captured under is the first thing to check.
The 2026 overhaul, honestly
The app was rebuilt in 2026. The App Store version history says version 5.0.0 (April 2026) brought a new dashboard, redesigned metrics, and an overhauled HealthKit integration flow "with clear add, finish, and out-of-sync status prompts"; version 5.0.3 (late June) added "Improved Apple Health metric syncing"; the current release is 5.0.6 (App Store listing, checked October 18, 2026). Owner reviews on the listing are blunt about the redesign: recurring themes are graphs and dashboards that owners find harder to read than the old version's, several reviewers describing the Apple Health integration dropping after updates, and one July reviewer saying disconnecting and reconnecting it restored syncing and caught up the past month of measurements. These are owner reports, not confirmed behavior for every phone. We did not re-test the app, and Greater Goods does not publish a per-type list of what it writes to Health, so check your own Health data after any update.
What lands where
| What Weight Gurus writes to Apple Health | What Apple Health can store | What Trendline reads from Health |
|---|---|---|
| Vendor-confirmed in general terms: automatic sharing with Apple Health (App Store listing; Greater Goods support). No official per-type list exists; the app itself tracks 12+ metrics, most of which — bone mass, BMR, metabolic age, visceral fat, protein — have no Apple Health type regardless. | Weight, BMI, body fat %, lean body mass, height, waist circumference. No types exist for water percentage, bone mass, visceral fat, or the rest. | Weight, body fat %, and lean body mass (height as context). BMI and waist are not imported — BMI is derivable, and neither carries trend information Trendline needs. |
Trendline also accepts manual entries — including composition values Apple Health has no type for, like visceral fat and water percentage — so the metrics that stay in the Weight Gurus app needn't be lost to your record.
Weight Gurus scale not syncing to Apple Health?
Work the pipeline in order, cheapest link first:
- Scale → app: confirm the reading exists in Weight Gurus at all. On Wi-Fi models the scale's own indicators tell you — three short beeps mean a failed sync, and a data symbol on the display means measurements are stored and waiting (vendor guide). On Bluetooth models, repeat the weigh-in with the app open, since that's the vendor's stated procedure.
- App → Health: re-check the write permissions in Health → profile → Apps → Weight Gurus. Then, if it still fails, toggle the Apple Health integration off and on from the app's Integrations section. That is an owner-reported fix from one App Store reviewer, not a step Greater Goods publishes. The 5.0+ app also surfaces an out-of-sync status prompt of its own.
- Wrong account: readings captured under another family member's account sync to their record, not yours — the one-account-per-person rule above.
And the boundary we hold every vendor to: readings flow from the day you enable the integration, forward. Greater Goods does not document whether past weigh-ins transfer to Apple Health when you first connect — so we don't claim it either way. If your in-app history predates the toggle, check Health after enabling rather than assuming.
Try the idea
The Weight Gurus app can export your full history as CSV (per its listing) — which makes this easy: paste a few weeks of weigh-ins into the free weight trend calculator. It runs in your browser, nothing uploads, and it draws a deliberately slower signal next to your raw measurements. Daily numbers vary for reasons that have nothing to do with progress; the slower line is the readable one.
Questions people ask
How do I connect Weight Gurus to Apple Health?
Open the Weight Gurus app, choose the Integrations section, and toggle the platforms you want. iOS shows its standard permission sheet when you first connect. The vendor's pages place the section in the Settings menu on one page and the side menu on another, so expect to hunt for a moment.
Why are my family member's weigh-ins missing from Apple Health?
Each person needs their own Weight Gurus account. Two users can share a scale and even a phone, but each must log into their own account to sync their readings. Readings captured under another family member's account sync to their record, not yours.
My Weight Gurus scale isn't syncing. What do I check?
Work the pipeline in order. Confirm the reading exists in Weight Gurus at all: on Wi-Fi models, three short beeps mean a failed sync, and a data symbol on the display means measurements are stored and waiting (Greater Goods' Wi-Fi scale guide). Then re-check write permissions in Health. If it still fails, one App Store reviewer reports that toggling the Apple Health integration off and on in the Integrations section restored syncing (an owner report, not a published Greater Goods step). On Bluetooth models, repeat the weigh-in with the app open.
Does a Weight Gurus Wi-Fi scale need my phone nearby?
The vendor states no phone is required after setup: the scale sends results through your home network to your account's cloud. A missed sync isn't lost: the scale beeps three times, stores the measurement, and attempts again the next time you weigh.
Will my past Weight Gurus readings transfer to Apple Health?
Greater Goods does not document whether past weigh-ins transfer to Apple Health when you first connect. Readings flow from the day you enable the integration, forward, so check Health after enabling rather than assuming.
