I would love to see the option for reminders of basic hygiene and stuff. I struggle with ADHD, and can sometimes forget to brush my teeth. It would be nice to see the ability for dentistry notifications as well. Like I had a tooth pain in this area today, I’m going to note it so when I go to the dentist I can talk to them about it.
I would also love to have a more dynamic home page, because when I’m opening the app to log medications it can take me a minute to locate it if I don’t click the notification.
I’d love to see a calendar of my consistency when taking my meds, and when I tend to forget them if I do.
In the cycle tracking, I’d love to have a little more variety in the options or even just an option to take notes. Like on the first day of my period, my cramps are much worse than the last day, but I still have cramps. I would love to see a scale of pain, almost or a scale of how heavy my flow is.
Nevertheless, it’s a great app and very helpful.
The good stuff: I like and use this app. I use it for tracking my steps and other activity, mindfulness minutes, and a few other health goals. I like that it connects to Peloton and other apps to make all the tracking easier.
Where it could be better: The most important thing (for me) that I want to use this app for is tracking my menstrual periods. This is where it is not meeting my needs. I am 51. The period tracking is completely biased towards younger women tracking for purposes of getting pregnant or not getting pregnant. All the information is geared towards this age group. There is nothing - zero information - about perimenopause or menopause in this section of the app. It is not even acknowledged as a factor that could affect someone’s cycle…
It would be GREAT if you add some AI and info relevant to the menstrual cycles of the over 20 million women (in the US alone) in the 45-55 age group. I will happily rate this app 5 stars if you do.
Happy so far. I’m hoping Freestyle Liebre will be able to sync with the health. I purchased a Bluetooth BP cup that is supposed that could be used with the app so I don’t have to manually input. I also purchased a bathroom scale to keep track of weight as well thats sync to the app, my Dr really likes that I’m keeping track and working toward my Goals. And she is able to view and see monthly’s, weekly and daily progress..,
Also, I wish there was a way that you could put someone else on the app as well. For instance. My father, who is elderly, he does not have a smart phone. nor Would even know how to use one. But I do like the app to keep track of all vitals, medication’s, at home blood pressure monitoring, plus and the other vitals that comes with this app. It’s good for me to keep track of it. and Show it to doctors when we go in. Or to pull everything up a healthcare facility. I cannot find a way to add another Unto to my app.
My reasoning I’m giving it a low rating & I have a some opinions that would benefit for the App.
1. Why isn’t it not available for Mac’s & iPad’s?
For me I use my iPad device better for my art designing, as my medical assistant & documentations notebook. It would be more beneficial using it on the iPad especially with the mini & air models. Especially who are in the medical field who uses the iPad with their patients & there more potential usage for nurses & doctors. Now, me seeing as the patients using the software. For, me having it on 4 apple devices (watch, iPhone, iPad Pro & MacBook Pro) should naturally flow and benefit well from each other. Having it on the Mac I could turn it into a file to store away my medical records instead only having it on my phone.
2. It’s lacking something in between.
Personally, It’s missing something cause I shouldn’t leave the app to write in a note app. That one thing it needs is a lil note section when adding the data entry. So I can put the any additional symptoms I’m feeling during the moment so I can included the certain data entry.
Also, I didn’t see any section for mental health for ADHD, and other mental & emotional issues For the ones that need help somewhere.
I’m trying to use the app for its full functionalities for my entire health system. It definitely needs to add more symptoms. I know the app have so much more potential.
The concept is great! But, i have my Apple Health-APP turned off as my medical health information I do NOT wish to keep it on my iPhone for privacy and confidentiality purposes. The Apple ‘HEALTH-APP’ continues to TRACK my ‘Resting-Energy’ and ‘Steps’ and i have ALL selection-choices turned OFF. I have tried MANY different options to turn the Health-Details off, and the Apple Health App will NOT respond to my requests. The app continues! TRACKING my personal health history. So, I continued to delete my personal information AND deleted the Health-APP. But, it is still stored my personal health data in the General iPhone
Settings history, and iCloud. This app does NOT work, effectively! I have noticed with MANY of Apple apps that just because I have the app as inactive, or turned OFF in Cellular settings, and my TRACKING apps turned OFF as well, an APP still CAN track and collect data. I have been very diligent in finding solutions, including calling Apple. But, NO resolve.👎🏼 Time for a new phone! Thank you! 🙏🏼
I’m a trans gal I take estrogen injections weekly. This typically means my cycle is 7 days. The menstrual cycle part of the app would be cool it even lets you adjust it. It just doesn’t adjust it low enough. It stops at 10 days. It could stop at 7? I’m a small part of the population I get that not every app can have features for everyone. But I think allowing the app to go down to 7 or have an “injection gals section”. Apple is so open to saying they welcome everyone. I feel like this is a situation where the application could do better to represent the branding Apple is known for. If you look at a retail store it’s a mix of different people working there. I’m sure Apple has sensitivity training this would be an actual way you could aid the trans community with a neat inclusive feature hardly anyone will notice. I’m sure it was set to 10 because it’s unreasonable for a cis gender woman to have a shorter cycle according to common medical scientific understanding. This is an edge case but it would make me feel included. Im sure other trans gals too.
I would like to see more options for the menstrual cycle. There are some symptoms get that others don’t. So I would like to see more symptoms added. Or even better than that is an add button to customize it with as many different symptoms as needed. Like my daughter gets really bad body odor. I get extra sensitive skin on my legs. It’s hurts to be touched on my legs. Swollen fingers, wrist, ankle, and feet. Leg pain and extra sweating in the crotch. Just different things that I can think of thanks to my daughter. Anyway. I would love to see either one or the other or even both added to the app on the next update. I would also like to add my daughter to my app. My daughter has special needs and I keep track of everything. Her period is being one of them. It would do her absolutely no good if she doesn’t even understand what’s going on.
Overall, I really like this app. It’s great to see so much detail about my health in one place. It helps me make decisions about how best to adjust my lifestyle (nutrition, exercise, sleep) to improve my overall health.
I do have two suggestions for additions to the app. I have experimented with the app quite a bit and searched the online forums, but have not found a way to do the following. If there already are ways to do what I describe below, please disregard these suggestions.
1. Please add a way to view total calories burned for a day. I don’t hate math, but having to add active and resting calories every day is a chore. I do realize the total calories burned can be found in the Fitness app; however, I’d like to use Apple Health the way for which, I believe, it was designed — a one-stop shop. It would be very convenient.
2. Please add the option to view a Summary page of health data for any day in the past. In its current form, only a Summary of today’s health data is viewable. I understand I can go into each category (active energy, steps, resting energy, etc.) and from there select the day, week, month, or year I’d like to view. But it would be so helpful to see this data on one page.
Thank you!
Not totally satisfied w/this app. Considering this app can draw data from veryfit & loseit apps. It can literally add meals and other data from both and doesn't do so successfully. I use also myair and 23andme apps. That can add further details. From sleep and breathing to DNA data. That can add to health and future possible patterns. If someone like myself chooses to allow such data to be consented. Shouldn't this be allowed? I think the health app falls way short in this regard. Example : Caffeine it's added in lose it but won't be added in health app. Even if a category can be added. Even combined to add to the information arsenal under health or other health information, Why not? I think when it comes to the idea that both my air and very fit or very fit pro apps can run similar but also add to the data. It would just be a tweak by the user to make any corrections to fine tune what ever is needed. Instead of manually adding something that is already in the apps. Just saying
So I just configured my moms Apple Watch and updated it about 5 days ago she is bad with technology and had the watch for 2 years and never updates it or learns the features. I showed her how to use ecg and the hr rate apps, my mom does have an enlarged heart but it has been under control for years. Yesterday my mom said her heart felt funny so I asked her to check her heart rate which was in the 110 range which wasn’t good. I told her to take an ekg and she did and immediately said she was in a fib and we were able to show her doctors in the emergency room the multiple ekgs she took. She is stable and hopefully will be able to make a speedy recovery but I feel safer knowing she has these tools at her disposal. Hopefully they will have a blood pressure feature soon for the Apple Watch and when they do we will be purchasing for my mom with the quickness. Greatful to Apple for always pushing the standards of technology.
