Worked great at first, but then started broadcasting my weight to my boyfriend
My love-hate relationship with my Aria in three acts:<br /><br />Act I<br />Set-up was a nightmare. I downloaded the setup.exe to my laptop and after an hour of trying to get it set-up, even though the set-up executable never said that it was set-up correctly, it seemed to be working. It was connected to my wifi anyway and updating my fitbit account correctly.<br /><br />Act II<br />While it was working, it was amazing! Loved it!<br /><br />Act III<br />Shortly after receiving it, I invited my boyfriend to use it. It worked fine for awhile, until maybe a week ago. All of a sudden, I was showing up as guest on the scale and my Fitbit account wasn't updating. I tried taking out the batteries and starting the whole nightmare-ish installation process again but nothing worked.<br /><br />Found out yesterday that my scale has been shooting out my weight to my boyfriend's account for the last week! It seems to think that he owns the scale and it's updating his account with my weight! My worst nightmare!<br /><br />Even worse is that there was no way to remove the scale from his account. He had to un-invite himself from the scale but I'm not sure how that is going to work since the scale seems to think it belongs to him now.<br /><br />And aside from the obvious humiliation of having my weight bandied about indiscriminately, the worst part is that I love that scale. I want it back working properly. Now I'll have to call Customer Care (if they even have one) and try to get it working again, which I hate more than anything. (And I won't be inviting ANYONE to use the scale again!)<br /><br />Fitbit, please please please fix the installation and privacy problems! It's such a great product.
