Harmful information - encourages weight fixation
I downloaded this app and it soon requested that I enter my height and weight. Upon doing so, it calculated my BMI and told me the number. It then told me that I need to see a specialist as soon as possible, as my BMI is technically obese. This is very harmful as someone who has previously struggled with anorexia, as I regained weight so despite being overweight, this weight is healthiest for me. If I still had a bad mindset, this likely would've been very triggering for me to know my BMI as that number was something I fixated on when I was actively anorexic. This app is encouraging fixation on weight rather than fixation on recovery.

Triggering
The app asks for weight and calculates BMI. After which will say where you are on that scale. Very triggering for people who deal with an eating disorder
