    Heh. This was me when I was shopping for a new Sonic toothbrush. WHY ARE THRER APPS?!?!?? Seriously though, spending $100 for the (questionable) quality toothbrush that had zero need for my info. I don’t want stats. I don’t want to know the battery percentage.

      Me shopping for (human) scales. This one tells you body fat, BMI, etc. Oh cool! Wait that screen is pretty small. Read fine print, needs app.

      Same brand of scales, same functions, bigger screen to tell you the details, no app. Significantly cheaper.

      Why would you choose the one that requires an app instead of the one that does the same without an app for cheaper?
