A little help
with your check-in.

Support for Pounds, the EightRings weight journal.

How do I log a weight?

Open New check-in and type a weight, choose Record your weight, or use Camera or Photo to read a scale display. Confirm the number, unit, date, and time before tapping Save. Choose lb or kg in Settings.

How do I record my weight by voice?

In New check-in, choose Record your weight, then tap Record weight. Microphone and Speech Recognition permissions are requested only after you tap Record weight. Say one weight in English, such as “180 point 5 pounds” or “82 kilograms,” then tap Stop recording. Recording stops automatically after 20 seconds.

Review the transcript and suggested weight, then tap Use this weight. Back in New check-in, confirm or edit the number, unit, date, and time before tapping Save. Pounds supports lb and kg; if you do not say a unit, it uses your selected unit. Voice entries count toward the same three-free-entry limit as typed and scanned entries.

What if voice recognition is unavailable?

Voice logging requires English on-device speech recognition and permission to use Microphone and Speech Recognition. If permission is denied, you can enable it in iPhone Settings. If on-device recognition is unavailable or a recording fails, type your weight or scan your scale instead. Pounds never falls back to server-based speech recognition. Audio and transcripts are held only in memory and are never saved or uploaded.

What if a scale scan is wrong?

Use a clear, straight-on photo with the display filling the frame. Glare and low contrast can affect recognition. Correct the suggested value before saving, or enter it manually. Always check the unit as well as the number.

What does Pounds cost?

Pounds is coming soon with three free weight entries, followed by a one-time $0.99 US lifetime unlock. It is a non-consumable purchase, not a subscription. Local pricing is shown in the app before you buy. Deleting an entry does not replenish your free entries.

How do I restore lifetime access?

In Settings, tap Restore purchases, or use Restore purchases on the unlock screen. Use the Apple Account that made the purchase and check your internet connection. Restoring a purchase restores access; it does not restore deleted weight history.

Why are my reminders quiet?

Turn on reminders in Pounds Settings and allow notifications in iPhone Settings. Check your reminder window and interval, plus Focus and notification settings. After a check-in, remaining reminders for that day are cleared. Reopen Pounds periodically to refresh its upcoming reminder schedule.

How do I delete a weight entry?

Open History and swipe to delete an entry. Pounds stores entries on your device; it does not offer a Pounds account or its own cloud history restore. Device backups are managed through your Apple settings.

Does Pounds sync with Apple Health?

The current app is a standalone weight journal. It does not read or write Apple Health data.

Is Pounds available on the App Store?

Not yet. Pounds is coming soon. This page will link to the verified App Store listing when it is publicly available.
