The Withings Body Smart scale can be used partially without the app, but some of its advanced functions and data analysis options are only accessible via the app.

- You can read weight and some basic measurements such as heart rate and body mass index (BMI) directly on the scale without using the app.
- However, for full use of functions such as body composition, visceral fat index, basal metabolic rate and other health-related insights, as well as automatic synchronisation of data, the use of the Withings app is required.
