There's the very obvious UX problem though, that for weight, all you need to do is step on a block of solid material, whereas this has a lot more friction in the process.

Not sure that's solvable, but that's been my main reason for not tracking these measurements for now.

Thanks for your feedback. I agree that it's more involved and effort to track measurements, but without developing a companion piece of hardware (smart tape?) I see no solution for this.

You get a much more precise indication of the way your body is changing for your help extra effort however. This app for example will be of far more use to a body builder than a weight tracker would be.
