What is BMI Simple?

BMI Simple is a simple, easy to use, iPhone application that allows the user to quickly calculate a Body Mass Index (BMI) value based on height and weight values they provide. BMI Simple also goes one step further and calculates the maximum amount of weight gain needed or the minimum weight loss needed to reach a ‘normal’ BMI value. Finally BMI Simple calculates BMI Primes and displays it as well.
