Apple Health App not working for UK British weight measure - Stones and Pounds - St IIb

Hi

Most people in the UK measure body weight by stones and pounds but the Health app isn't able to record pounds correctly.

For example, the Apple Health app shows 10 Stone 5 Pounds as heavier than 10 stone 11 Pounds.

Which means the Apple Health app dashboard graph is wrong showing a weight loss as a weight increase.

I really hope this is fixed soon.

Time to find another app for now....

Thx

This is my major gripe with the health app. If I'm 13st 7lbs I'm not 13.5st. This still isn't fixed in iOS 9.

So USA uses lbs for weight but not Stones. So if the Locale is USA, could we enter weight in lbs ?
If so, the 'fix' for Stones shouldnt be that hard. i.e to make 14.5 = 14st 5lb or to have 14.11 to mean 14st 11lbs

I agree. This is so annoying. The health app forces you to record stones as decimal but imperial measurements aren't a decimal system. There are 14 pounds to a stone, not 10.

Would be great if Apple could fix this.
