Support & FAQ
If the answer isn't here, email us and a person will reply.
Getting started
What is Elo, in one line?
A weight-management app built around visible progress and people doing it alongside you, instead of a daily number to pass or fail.
What platforms does it run on?
iPhone and Android. You can also log from a home-screen widget or a shortcut.
How long does onboarding take?
A few minutes. Elo asks about your goal, your lifestyle, your constraints and which non-scale wins matter to you, then builds a starting plan and weekly structure.
Is Elo free?
Free to start, no card. A premium tier unlocks more.
Confirm free-tier scope and premium price — playbook checklist 8.6.
Logging
How do I log a meal?
Three ways: scan a barcode (fastest and most accurate), take a photo for home-cooked food, or type a search. Recents and favourites make repeat meals one tap.
What if I don't have time to log properly?
There's a quick-log fallback for a rough estimate now that you can refine later. A rough log beats a skipped day.
Does Elo track water, sleep and exercise too?
Yes — hydration by the glass, sleep hours (entered or from a connected source), and movement from steps or logged workouts. Each one feeds a part of the world.
The weekly budget
How is it different from a daily calorie goal?
You aim at a weekly total, so a big meal on one day borrows from lighter days rather than 'failing' that day.
Does an over or under week carry forward?
No. The budget refreshes every Monday. Last week is last week.
What about eating out?
There's a social-eating flow that helps you plan for a restaurant meal in advance and estimate it afterwards, without wrecking the week.
Non-scale victories
What counts as a non-scale victory?
Concrete signs of progress that aren't the scale — more energy, better sleep, clothes fitting differently, easier workouts, steadier mood. You pick which ones matter during onboarding and can add your own.
How does Elo track them?
A weekly prompted check-in, a timeline you can scroll back through, and changes in how Elo itself looks as the wins add up.
Do I have to log my weight?
No. Elo never reacts to a scale number. You can keep a private trend line, but nothing leads with it and no one else sees it.
The herd
Is it a social feed or a leaderboard?
Neither. No ranking, no visible weight, no pace. Just the sense that other people are logging right now, and a shared garden that grows together.
Can other people see my data?
No weights, no numbers, no personal details. The community features are designed so there is nothing to compare.
How do I report someone or something?
Use the report control in any community space. Content that shames, harasses, shares private information, or promotes extreme dieting is removed.
Confirm the exact in-app reporting flow.
Privacy & billing
Where is my data stored, and is it sold?
Your logged data is yours and is not sold. It's shared only with the service providers that run Elo. See the privacy policy for the detail.
Privacy policy specifics pending review — playbook checklist 8.6.
How do I cancel?
Cancel any time in your App Store or Google Play account. Access continues to the end of the paid period; refunds follow the store's policy.
How do I delete my account?
From the app's settings. Deletion removes your account and associated data.
Confirm what deletion removes vs. anonymises.
