Trend line is too reactive (thus depressing)
Weightbot should use a 10- or 20-day moving average for the trendline. It's too reactive to daily fluctuations in weight, which is disheartening on days when my weight is up even slightly.
I’m frustrated

Inappropriate?Sorry not sure how this got lost for 3 months, it just popped up to the top of the list. The moving average line is using something called an exponential moving average, assuming you have more then a few days worth of data it should not move very fast at all.
Maybe you can take a screenshot and either post it here or send it over to support@tapbots.com. I'm curious to see what's happening since at least in my experience the trend line is not very reactive at all.

Inappropriate?
Only the last data point is higher. It's up by 2 pounds from the prior point 2 days earlier, but the projection is all over the map. -
Inappropriate?I have the same problem - I have months of data (all trending broadly in the right direction) but after an indulgent weekend the projection looks just like the screenshot posted. It sounds like a bug, but if it's working as intended an option might be to allow user to configure how much historical data they want incorporated into calculating the projection. So if a user has been very happy with their last week of losses/gains they could select that as an option, whereas if they see their last week as an unfortunate slip they could have the projection based on the overall trend of the last year.
Quick edit - don't take this single issue as a reflection of my satisfaction with your products. I am pleased with both purchases, use Weightbot everyday, and think it's absolutely fantastic.
I’m broadly pleased
