4.4 Using the Arboleaf App
The Arboleaf App enhances your weighing experience by providing nutritional analysis, tracking, and recipe management.
- Nutritional Calculator:
Once connected to the app, place food items on the scale. The app will display the weight. You can then search for the food item in the app's database (over 1 million USDA foods) or scan a barcode to get detailed nutritional information, including calories, fat, protein, and sugar. You can also customize food data and recipes.

- Barcode Scanning:
The app features a barcode scanning function to quickly identify packaged foods and retrieve their nutritional data. Simply open the barcode scanner in the app and scan the product's UPC code. For example, a UPC like 0625313800651 can be scanned to retrieve product information. This feature is currently supported in the US, France, and Italy.
