BMI Tool by Epocrates App Reviews

This program should allow input of the height in feet and inches.

I am an Internist with a special interest in treating type 2 diabetes and this app is excellent to use while I counsel patients on duet and exercise to get to goal. Thanks...great app!

I like using this app because its easy to use and almost impossible to mess up. I love having one app for clinic when I need to calculate a BMI or check my treatment plan using the treatment algorithm before I present it to my attending. This app is fantastic because it has BMI, BMR, & TDEE calculators, as well as activity level conversion factors, treatment algorithms, and BMI charts ALL IN ONE DEDICATED APP. It also shows many of the equations if you need to see them, which is very helpful for medical school. I wish the height input for the BMI calculator would allow users to enter height in feet AND inches, rather than inches alone, or cm. That would be a more user friendly app in my opinion, and worthy of 5 stars.

Love this app. Easy to use

guidelines, charts, tx, diet. awesome!!

I use this app every day. BMI is now a vital sign for every new patient.

This app is quick & easy in my daily clinical setting as a Womens Health NP. Highly recommend.

Why does it give you results in Kg/m when youre entering in pounds and inches for weight and height? Shouldnt the units stay consistent?

Great app, includes helpful treatment plans and guidelines.

I thought it was going to have more options but no is very limited and confusing, I thought it was going to be more flexible but is not. I wouldnt downloaded it. there is better apps then this one.

Easy to use, helpful, basic BMI tool.

I work with clients desiring to modify health risks via lifestyle changes. This app is a terrific teaching tool!

Needs to calculate and chart BMI percentiles for pediatric patients.

Very convenient

This is a helpful tool for counseling patients. Fill in the blanks and then quantify risk in language patients can understand.

I am overweight considering bariatric surgery. I do not quite qualify at the present time, but I might weight at previous times has. This is an excellent tool for me to evaluate where Im at, where Ive been, and where I hope to be someday. It, also, has additional charts and information to guide me regarding obesity and weight loss.

Great app, easy to use!

Nothing is perfect when it comes to covering all of the information that this app provides. That being said nothing else compares to Epocrates. I have been using Epocrates for close to 10 years. I use it almost every day. I highly recommend it to all healthcare professionals.

Base BMI only on height and weight putting anyone with decent muscle mass that is over 6 tall in the overweight category. Unrealistic tool, may give you an approximate but this tool will only allow you to conclude what you can conclude simply by looking at the subject.

Wish it covered children ages 2-21, very restricted as it does not help with age/height/weight for BMI percentage. This would be a great teaching tool for parents and families! Hopefully in the next update this can be included. Only giving the app a three because it is completely useless to me in my field as a Pedi ARNP. Otherwise Epocrates itself is my standard go to and a full 5 stars!
