Pros and cons of Body Mass Index (BMI) app for iPhone and iPad

Body Mass Index (BMI) app good for

The metric/english unit selectors are a little confusing. For example, if I select Kg and then select Kg again it switches to Lbs. So is it Kg or Lbs? One has to rely on the color (dark blue/light blue) and its not entirely clear which color is the active one. Maybe a slide switch would be better.
Quick, easy, and accurate. Plug in numbers, see the BMI. This is just what I need. By the way, I challenge anyone to "whip out" their calculator and figure out BMI. For instance, your patient is 56" and 150 pounds. BMI = weight in kg/(height in meters)2(squared) The clock is ticking...

Some bad moments

I think in this data missing most important info like age, gendar
This application flat out doesnt work. I am a medical bariatrician and was looking for an easy BMI calculator. Values obtained are not accurate and change with each touch, with wrong answers 90% of the time.
Program simply doesnt work - calculations are wrong! Medical Calc is free and has other medical calculators as well.
