Horrible UI

Horrible UI like tell me why do i have to figure out how to delete a workout that i manually added, such a counterintuitive design

Not good app

This app is very annoying 😖Intirupting my day hate this app

Slow

The miles and steps seem to be very slow/delayed

Pretty Nice, But Lacking

This is a very well made app, looks great, easy to use and works well.

But, there’s no way to edit workouts (I only want a simple trim feature for when I forget to stop tracking) and no way to share my workouts with other apps.

Presumably that’s by design to keep me in the Apple ecosystem, but in reality it just makes me wanna use something else.

Good app

Simple and easy to use. I like being able to quickly check my daily activity step and workout all in one place

Decent app with a few “frustrations”

Biggest flaw - Does NOT auto detect starting or ending an outdoor walk, despite getting into a car and using Apple Maps and driving 70h. Feedback has not been actioned.

Among the POSITIVES - Useful for tracking daily activities, fitness, steps etc.. Integrates well with Apple Health, Apple Watch 3, my OURA Ring & even better with Apple Watch 9.

Came in particularly useful when I had a serious illness and went into physical rehab as I had my baseline / pre-illness info and could track my rehab progress. The heart rate alerts was an early warning for a cardiac issue that was confirmed later on by drs.

Units can be in metric or imperial

Biggest Frustration:-
1- does NOT automatically track or detect when starting or completing an outdoor walk. Particularly frustrating when I’ve completed a walk then driven home & it tracks the whole journey, including the car drive as a walk, even when I use Apple Maps to navigate the drive

2- does not allow edits to the above e.g. No one can walk or run at 50 - 100kmh but I can’t delete that portion out of my journey

3- does not allow me to add customised activity e.g. gardening, housework

4- Cannot edit or delete the splits or legs where a drive in a car was recorded during an outdoor walk

App deletes progress

This app is terrible at counting steps and placing it in the correct time frame. If I start walking at 7:59 and continue for 10 minutes without refreshing the app, it poaces the step count in the 7-8 hour time frame instead of actually recording 1 min. Walked in 7-8 timeframe and 9 min. Walked in 8-9 timeframe.

Wheelchair user

Not many wheelchair friendly options, if you’re good at adapting and know alternative movements you will be good to follow along. Apple heart rate trackers don’t work at all I’m finding and usually have to pause a workout to let it get a reading.

Workout log issues

There are so many times where I or my sister have worked out and our workouts are not registering! It’s EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING when we are trying to compete against each other in different states and our workouts won’t register in the app! Starting to really irritate me and this app is not worth the trouble!!

Have enjoyed the app 3.5*

It gets me moving but I m discouraged when I can’t rewind a few seconds for a Yoga move or Pilates because I can’t see since I’M FACING THE FLOOR!
I cast to my TV & have a difficult time doing some moves I’m physically capable of doing because I’m straining to try to see them.
I find the Yoga less than beneficial because it’s so fast paced, would be nice to have some challenging sessions that are enjoyable and not rushed.
Love the kickboxing and many of the trainers even the ones I know will push me harder. Would LOVE an option to remove the music- Apple does a good job with various playlist but most of us prefer our own.
Want more 5 minute sessions with other than core please because I can do them at work and it’s an excellent break from the stresses of work. Also LOVE getting to do a variety of different workouts with the various times you offer.

Poor

Another example of Apple not sorting the basics. Half way through a workout it cuts off then plays without sound. The only thing to do is start again but you can’t fast forward. Not worth the subscription fee and will only help with basic fitness building. Doesn’t always sync after workouts and can take multiple restarts to get it to sync, same is true when trying to start an Apple fitness workout. The ‘fixes’ from Apple end up throwing data wildly off. If it was reliable it would blow competitors out of the water but unfortunately it doesn’t come close. Apple is now having a negative impact on my fitness. The fitness subscription will be the first to go and will most likely be followed by the watch. Absolutely awful.

Latest update is irritating

When I’m doing a work out, Ireally couldn’t care less about notifications about asking my iPad if it wants to join in on my workout; I really don’t want my iPad joining in on my workout. Or friends. Or anyone. I just want to see my heart rate and progress. I also don’t appreciate random segments being introduced and all manner of things that stop my workout tracking. Whoever did this is an absolute idiot and they’ve made the app much much worse.

Basic editing needed

It’s incredibly stupid that you can’t edit the end time of a workout you forgot to close out without deleting the whole thing and reentering.

Stop prompting me “are you working out”

If you detected that I’m working out, then I’m working out. RECORD IT

Bizarre

How do I log my workout so I can close my ring for the day? Seems like it would be possible but that feature is oddly missing, or I can’t find it. Kinda saps whatever extra motivation the app was starting to give me.

Dang

I can’t this to work. I have spent too much time trying to get it going. Not even one star.

Data Harvesting Daemon

Cmon folx there are apps available that dont harvest your data. Use those. My recommendations:
- strength direct
- OutRun
- Steps
- CalMacro (not tested)
-OpenNutriTracker( collects less data)

Loved the app but I noticed something is off

It helps track my workouts and my heart rate. The problem I have been noticing is that it tracks the workout but won’t submit it to my time to close my rings. It will show I did 30 mins walking but won’t add to my rings. I’m annoyed

Kinda works

For some reason never works with Siri when you say start an out door run
And navigation- everything so tucked away and can be difficult to simply grind a work out you just did

Heart rate tracking!!!

Just got off the phone to Apple Support who couldn’t help me. Fitness plus heart rate tracking does not work with AirPods Pro 3. It will say no AirPods detected whilst showing the AirPod connected symbol. You can get audio through the AirPods just no heart rate feedback. Disappointing considering you can only use the heart rate feature on this and one other thing
