Enjoyed it Until the Step Tracker Stopped
I have enjoyed this app. I wish there was a way to add in a food item in the calorie tracker. That feature can feel a little limited but I made it work. I haven’t been able to use the step tracker for a long while now. I uninstalled and reinstalled the app but it wasn’t fixed. Any help would be most appreciated. ☺️

Does not utilize Apple Watch information
I wear my Apple Watch daily. I have made sure all settings are correct. Steps from my Apple Watch do not show up in this app. They show up in every other app I use. Very disappointing. Useless.
Useless
They have lucky that we can’t give half of stars. I download it to get company benefits but this app have a poor quality.
Hard to load
If I am going to use an app it should be easy to load and use. This is not. Loaded and then promptly deleted this app.
Step Count is not Accurate with Apple Watch
I discovered that when I sync my steps with this app, it logs significantly more steps than what displays for the daily total in Apple’s Health Kit.
This appears to be the result of a bug. Instead of pulling the daily steps from Health Kit, the app pulls the total steps from every device connected to your iPhone. So, if you go and run 3 miles with an Apple Watch on your wrist and an iPhone strapped to you arm, at the end of the day the HealthyNow app will sync 6 miles worth of steps.
I was using the app to more easily upload my steps for the wellness challenge at work but after a month (when it became apparent something was off) had to go back and update each day’s data to be accurate. All I can recommend is to not use this app to log steps until they fix this.

Glitchy/Buggy and Difficult to use
Linked the app to my phone so it could track my steps so I don’t have to log my steps manually, but for some reason the app will add extra steps to my day. One day the app showed that I took over 18,000 steps but I really only has about 7-8,000.
Also, tried tracking my calories, but it’s difficult to enter the food I’ve eaten. Too many chain restaurant meal options. I don’t dine out that often.

Inaccurate step counts; No longer maintained?
When pulling updates from HealthKit, HealthyNow inflates my step count greatly. It’s too bad because this app’s connectivity with my work’s wellness portal makes it really convenient to send my steps in automatically. It appears Cerner no longer maintains this app. The last App Store update was more than 4 years ago.

Why? Just why?
To put it bluntly, this is the only tracking app that I’ve used that is totally useless. Everything is a manual input. It supposedly links to your devices for data but it doesn’t. Food tracking is vague and difficult to use while providing no nutritional information. It doesn’t alert you of challenges because you have to sign up through your computer. A mobile app is a complete waste since it doesn’t do anything. I am trying to figure out why I even have this on my phone.

The Worst
This app is terrible. I have been fighting this app for the past year trying to get steps to register for my wellness portal. It’s basically stealing money from my pocket because I am not receiving monetary incentives for steps I take but not recording
Atrocious
This app has horrible searching algorithms. Apparently the only food that can be eaten must be branded. Hard to navigate. Doesn’t actually filter.
