The 7222F Taylor smart scale syncs with an app. While the company recommends their free SmarTrack app, you can use the scale with another fitness app if you’d prefer. Set up a Taylor scale account just the way you would with any other app by downloading it and following the instructions. Most mobile devices (both iOS and Android products) are compatible with this smart scale.

A note on language: While we use the word “sex” (not “gender”) when referring to biological characteristics, we are opting to use the language from the scale’s manufacturer to avoid confusion while programming the scale.

If you store your scale vertically, you may need to initialize it before your next use. Your best bet: Store the scale flat, per Taylor.
