The BMI calculator: a new extension for your app

  2 min read

Body mass index (BMI) is a simple and widely used indicator for assessing whether weight is appropriate for height. With the BMI calculator , GoodBarber offers a new extension that lets you easily integrate this tool into your app, without any development. True to its philosophy, GoodBarber has paid particular attention to the user experience to offer a clear, practical and immediately accessible tool.

A ready-to-use extension for your app

The BMI calculator is available in the Extension Store and can be activated in just a few clicks from the back office of your GoodBarber app. Once the extension is activated, the calculator integrates naturally into your app, on iOS, Android and PWA.

This means you can enhance your app with a simple, recognized and immediately operational tool, with no specific development or maintenance required.

BMI calculator features

The extension enables your users to calculate their body mass index quickly and easily. All they have to do is enter their height and weight, and the calculation is performed automatically.

The result is displayed instantly, along with the category corresponding to the calculated BMI (underweight, normal, overweight, etc.). An explanatory text helps the user to interpret the value obtained.

This text is fully customizable from the back-office, allowing you to adapt the message to the tone and spirit of your app.

A personalized, consistent experience

Like all GoodBarber extensions, the BMI calculator integrates seamlessly with your app's design and navigation. Thanks to customization options, you can continue to offer a seamless experience that's consistent with your graphic identity and other content.

Siri Actions: ask your GoodBarber iOS app for its latest article or video

Siri Actions now answers two new questions: the latest article and the latest video in a section of a GoodBarber iOS app. Siri names the item and offers to open it by voice. They reach every app with its next store update. Siri Actions is the set of questions a GoodBarber iOS app answers out loud, for newspapers, radio stations, schools, organizations and any app that publishes content. Its first question, "What's new", gives an overview of your home screen. When we launched it in September 2026, we said the next one would be the latest article in a section. Here it is, and the latest video comes with it. Each goes straight to one item and offers to open it. Your audience goes from a question to the article in a single conversation, without searching for it.
