Wyze

 

Michael starts this episode out explaining about pricing for the Wyze scale, and explains that if you visit the show’s show notes you can see the unboxing of the scale him and Nicholas did.

 

Wyze Scale Unboxing

 

Michael explains the setting up of the Wyze scale, including the fact that when you order the scale the process is to set an account up. If you don’t then you can set the account up when you download the app. However if you set an account up with Wyze while ordering, log into that account.

hi:

I don’t have screen shots, however tried emailing the dev email on

your google play store entry, and as you know I can’t email that

address.

I have however provided more information that i hope can help your

the team sees the problem.

hi:

 

So i sent the below message to your support chat, and a friend

suggested i email the email on your android app as the chat rep wanted

me to take a screenshot and circle the buttons that had problems. As a

completely blind user, i am unable to do this. However i can share

some findings in follow-up to the message i sent earlier today.

—Original Message—

i have ordered and received your Scale product.

 

For the most part, I’m frustrated with the app, but happy with the product.

 

As a completely blind user, i’m disappointed to see that a majority of

your buttons in the app are unlabeled.

 

Does your android team have any plans to label these buttons?

 

A blind user only hears “Unlabeled button”, when browsing through the app.

However the tabs across the bottom are labeled.

 

I’ve included a few resources for your android team below to help

improve the experience for talkback users.

I do like that i can accessibly get my weight, however getting any

other details is a guess and check as not having labels for these

buttons prevents me from being able to browse thru the additional

information provided.

 

In addition, i can’t seem to find the section that I can connect my

data to google fit threw; again going back to the unlabeled buttons.

 

Please advise as to future plans for labeling these buttons.

 

—Findings—

 

One of the  unlabeled buttons on the screen is the one directly before

I see the name of my scale, Michael’s Scale.

 

When tapping this button that reads ” unlabeled button” i am taken to

a screen that allows me to “Edit Devices”, and “Edit Rules” with a

“Done” button that is labeled correctly.

 

all 3 buttons on this screen in fact have correct labels to them so I

know what they do.

 

Another example is if i tap on Michael’s Scale (that is labeled thanks

to my wife helping with setup), i see a  unlabeled button at the top

of the screen, the name of my scale, and another  unlabeled button

directly after that.

 

if i tap on that button i see:
