Looks very fancy! I have the ordinary ones (and no smartphone) so can't help you there. Any time I have been curious as to how much they have eaten I just weigh before and after. I was going to suggest using it anyway without the app, but as there is quite a price difference I see where you're coming from. The basic one was £100 when I bought mine.

I tend to work on the principle that the less there is to go wrong, the better. As the old saying goes, to err is human, but to really foul things up requires a computer.

That was exactly the thought in my mind!

Sometimes the basic things are better!
£128 for the pair? That is good, the cheapest I have seen is around £80.
