  The scaling relations for solar-like oscillations provide a translation of
the features of the stochastic low-degree modes of oscillation in the Sun to
predict the features of solar-like oscillations in other stars with convective
outer layers. This prediction is based on their stellar mass, radius and
effective temperature. Over time, the original scaling relations have been
reversed in their use from predicting features of solar-like oscillations to
deriving stellar parameters. Updates to the scaling relations as well as their
reference values have been proposed to accommodate for the different
requirements set by the change in their use. In this review the suggestions for
improving the accuracy of the estimates of stellar parameters through the
scaling relations for solar-like oscillations are presented together with a
discussion of pros and cons of different approaches.
