Impressed on Positive Heart Health, Not Impressed with Functionality
I was hoping this would bridge the gap between my WearOS powered fossil smartwatch and Apple Health so I could get more use out of the health data and the Google Fit functionality of the watch. Unfortunately no such features. The app has read only permissions with Apple Health so it only organizes data from that app into Google’s. It does not link with WearOS so data from the smartwatch does not go directly to Google Fit’s app so that is still a problem for me. I like that it puts the focus on heart health in a “weight watchers” kinda way— points instead of steps or calories to get a bigger picture view of how to improve overall health. But I’m not getting my progress counted from my smartwatch anyways. Overall, Google Fit just organizes information that already exists in a new way. I’m intrigued but probably won’t keep it.Show lesskiera113
Great Improvements
Google has slowly made many improvements over the life of this app. Now that Google Fit runs on iOS, I find the “Journal” to be very useful in collecting all workout and sleep data from multiple sources and grouping the data chronologically for easier access.RmLJr
Almost perfect!
This is a great app to track your workouts and provide a bit of motivation. However, why isn't climbing and bouldering included as listed sports?! Please add these and then I can commit to giving the app 5 stars. You can add your sport as "other" but still...it would be nice to show a consideration for a very popular sport.Show lessitsjamiesparks
Thank You, Heart Disease Avengers
Excellent. Pure and good, period. This is a gift to us. Yet, some people have still complained: "Until it magically aligns with my Sparkle Pony Unicorn heartbeat ratio index, measures perspiration sodium levels (aligning with my home-based lab testing), and adds a drop-down choice for bi-weekly underwater hot Tai BocChi lacrosse sessions so I don't have to do so manually (THE HORROR), I'm giving it only half a star..."
Seriously, folks. Get a problem. Like heart disease. Have it in your family? You must not. Most folks who DO have heart disease, know someone with heart disease, or lost someone they love very much to heart disease aren't complaining about something so positive in the fight against this beyond-crappy death monger. We are every-day thankful for the genius, hard working souls at the AMA and Google (and Apple - thanks for the app, yo!) who joined forces in the magical Google Fit to make the world a better, healthier place so we don't lose even more people we love to this horrific, extremely preventable disease.
Thanks to every heart disease Avenger who is fighting for our lives. We are so fortunate to have you walking with us.Show lesslegalbeagle05
Simple visual results
Simple and easy to set up. Clear and uncomplicated result displays. Not as sophisticated as the Apple Watch activity app but simpler to use and can be used across a range of brands.edtota
Good but Issues
Been looking forward to this coming to IOS. Good app but some issues need fixed. The calendar button to view previous days information is greyed out. Would be good see some sleep analysis looking at quality etc. Also can’t see any information on food and nutrition recorded through my fitness pal.Show lessddfnndjdnndjdndn
Apple Watch?
Great App. Just need apple watchludrizzy
Fills an important gap for Apple users
I am an iPhone/watch user and for me this app fills in important gap which is that it provides one number to evaluate the quality of daily exercise, i.e. the Heart Points. This is something which Apple health is missing as step counts, exercise minutes, etc. don’t do the job. So I’m excited about this!
What is needed now is a widget and an Apple Watch app with a complication… It would be perfect to be able to see the heart points whenever you look at the watch. Add those features and I’ll go five stars.Show lesssgmiller
What about people taking beta blockers?
I’m taking a beta blocker to treat afib and my resting pulse is about 20 bpm lower than it was before I started. Exercise for me doesn’t hit a level high enough to trigger “exercise” on the Apple Watch or heart points here.
Please consider asking users during setup if they are taking beta blockers and adjusting the threshold down a bit for earning heart points for us who are. Thanks.Show lessToggled
