### 2/5 — Problems with step count and Heart points

*2026-08-11, version 1.104*

The app doesn’t line up with the step count on Apple Health and tends to either remove steps or ignore steps for no reason. It does r make any sense. This needs to be fixed.

### 4/5 — Does not register steps consistently

*2026-08-11, version 1.104*

Misses steps

### 3/5 — It won’t connect to Google Health (Fitbit) App

*2026-07-19, version 1.104*

While on iPhone, Google Fit won’t pull the data into Apple‘s native health app. Now that Google Health is available, the data found on Google Fit refuses to be available on Google Health

### 2/5 — Heart points glitch

*2026-07-13, version 1.104*

This is the 2nd occasion during a long walk that the heart points got to a certain number then totally froze on that score and didn’t increase even 1 point for the rest of my walk – despite the fact that I continued to walk briskly  for double the distance I had already covered!

### 1/5 — Worst app ever

*2026-06-03, version 1.103*

I used the Fitbit app for over 10 years,  daily!Compared to the original Fitbit, this app is Useless.  All I want to do is track my steps. This app doesn’t  update on a timely or accurate basis.  
Yesterday, after speaking to the SUPPORT group,, I  thought I had everything working and my steps were all correct.  However, this morning, 
The Google Fit app shows random numbers of steps for the last four days,  that do NOT MATCH  the steps that were counted on my tracker.  So disappointed!!  I’m looking for another step tracker.  Using google fit  is pointless, unless you just want to be frustrated

### 3/5 — Doesnt work.

*2026-05-30, version 1.103*

Google fit will count the steps on my smart watch, but won’t count steps on my tablet, the app on both are linked to the same account. So I can’t gets steps rewards for apps on my tablet.

### 2/5 — Disappointed

*2026-05-29, version 1.103*

I dislike that i can no longer track my miles on the bike. I liked the simple design Fitbit which is why I bought a Fitbit watch rather than a Garmin or Apple Watch.
Not happy with the change!

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2026-05-27, version 1.103*

This app is rubbish. I can’t sync my Fitbit. It’s hard to use!! I do not want to manually enter my exercises or steps!! Do not download it!

### 1/5 — Hate it

*2026-05-27, version 1.103*

Well what can I say. I hate it. I can no longer track my sleep and the app is hard to navigate. I hate it so much I’m getting rid of it for another tracker so I can actually track the things I want not what you dictate. Disgusted

### 1/5 — Incorrect data

*2026-05-23*

The app is showing an incorrect step count. I am using an iPhone 13 along with the Noise app, and both are showing approximately the same number of steps (around 6,800-7,000+). However, Google Fit is showing only around 2,800 steps, and every time I refresh the app, the step count decreases further.
I walked for more than an 1 hour, so the app is clearly not tracking steps correctly.

I am also concerned because this app is connected to my health insurance rewards program, where discounts are provided after completing the required number of steps. Due to the incorrect lower step count, I may not receive the discounts i am eligible for.

투명 위젯은 언제나 되려나요
하얗게 타버린 위젯은 꼴보기 싫군요

### 1/5 — Don’t bother - completely faulty app

*2026-05-12, version 1.102*

Deleted after 1 day. The app is full of glitches and doesn’t track properly. I looked at my app this afternoon and my step count had reduced by almost a thousand steps since 2 hours ago, which was quite funny but not enough to keep the app.

### 1/5 — Не выгружаются данные

*2026-05-11*

Проблемы с выгрузкой

### 4/5 — Too many glitches

*2026-05-02, version 1.102*

Steps don’t match my watch and sometimes winds steps and heart points back which is not very helpful!

### 3/5 — Travando

*2026-04-28*

Gosto muito do aplicativo, porém, anda com muitos bugs nos registros das atividades!!!! Por exemplo, ele registra meus passos, mas não conta os pontos do cardio! Ai fica zero a zero

### 1/5 — Frustrating

*2026-04-25, version 1.102*

I have no idea why, but it doesn’t synchronise the data from health app. It’s pretty much wrong every day. For example on health app it will say Iv done 4k steps and distances of 3km which is about right for my normal walk. However on the Google Fit app for the same walk it will show the same distance but only in 1k steps.

### 1/5 — 全然ダメ！

*2026-04-21*

他のアプリでは歩数が約7000歩なのに対してこのアプリは3500歩程。酷過ぎる‼️

### 1/5 — 改悪

*2026-04-11*

心拍数を測る時に毎回チュートリアルが表示されるようになり、不便になった

### 1/5 — Was my review deleted?

*2026-08-16, version 1.104*

Edit 08/16/2026 The app is still garbage 

Shame on you deleting my review because you guys are hacks that can’t fix your app after years of complaints.

### 1/5 — استفسار

*2026-08-10, version 1.104*

استفسار لماذا التطبيق لا يدعم اللغه العربية علما ان نفس التطبيق على متجر google يدعم اللغة العربية

### 1/5 — DISTANCE

*2026-08-03, version 1.104*

Past daily views do not show total km unless an activity is manually added, which then double-counts steps. Please add total daily distance to past day views.

### 1/5 — Stopped working

*2026-07-15, version 1.104*

Worked great until this morning now I can’t get my watch to connect or even into my account honestly ruined my day

### 1/5 — Was my review deleted?

*2026-07-11, version 1.104*

Shame on you deleting my review because you guys are hacks that can’t fix your app after years of complaints.

### 1/5 — Won’t properly sync

*2026-07-02, version 1.104*

There’s too many times where I can’t get it to sync properly. Meaning Im missing whole weeks where it says I’ve done morning when my other apps say Im getting 12,000 or more steps. No point in using it if it’s not going to work.

### 1/5 — Cannot link Charge 6 to app

*2026-06-28, version 1.104*

The app is useless!  If you cannot connect the watch to the app what good is it.  There is no icon in the app to sync it to the app like there use to be in the original Fitbit app.  I cannot recommend this app!

### 1/5 — At least the Fitbit app worked

*2026-06-27, version 1.104*

Google’s mandatory transition to their app following purchase of Fitbit is a buggy disaster. Expect that the basic functionality inherited from FB would continue working, sadly no. Watch is now ugly and nonfunctional as a tracker.

### 1/5 — Still horrible

*2026-06-13, version 1.103*

Does anyone at tech support read these reviews? People keep complaining about the same issues and nothing is resolved. Do they even have a tech support? Anyway still the same issues with me. I can go a day with it tracking barely anything even though I put in 10,000 plus steps. Somehow I can do that but not earn nearly enough to complete my dairy heart points. If someone actually works at tech support and is reading this; do your job.

### 1/5 — Whack worse than Fitbit

*2026-06-05, version 1.103*

I used to question Fitbit score of 94 on sleep why it never was 100. Or even 98 99. 

Since Fitbit app is now Google fit. My score consistently shows in the range of 79 to 84. 

These apps are inaccurate and killing humans self beliefs. Self judgement. Making our brains numb and not having us believe in our self rather inserting algorithms in our minds so we don’t use our brains. 

I meditate everyday. Workout everyday. Almost a perfect life. 

Even the gps tracking of Fits bit latest model is off by upto 500m on a 5k run. I do this every morning. Same route. Results vary.

### 5/5 — Introduce live tracking of walk and run on ios version

*2026-04-06*

kindly introduce live tracking with gps and map options of walking running and cycling atleast on ios version please. I have been an old use since last 7-8 years .

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2026-04-02, version 1.102*

Great on all accounts.

However, I have noticed sometimes it will take away heart points after i earned them if i refresh the app or check again.

Any chance that could be corrected?

Example today I watched twice it notify me I hit 45 heart points, before it decided actually maybe only 37…

Thank you in advance!

### 5/5 — The bell curve

*2026-02-28, version 1.101*

I am seeing hi and low for number but not the avg per result . ie. .005-23 score but not the average score in that duration. Would help me not having to manually enter them into a spread sheet and create a formula

### 5/5 — Muito bom

*2026-01-29*

Bem pratico para acompanhar a pontuação de atividades física mês a mês

### 5/5 — Issue in google fit in iphone

*2025-11-08*

Google fit is not working properly in my phone (iphone 16 plus) after ios update(26.1). Something is not correct, which I am unable to understand. It’s updating once in 10 minutes while walking. Before the software update, it used to get updated on real time. Please fix this.

### 5/5 — RUNNING

### 5/5 — 元気で健康な生活の為に

*2025-06-30*

バイタルチェックをはじめ色々なデータが取れて健康管理が出来る

### 5/5 — Not syncing v1.90 EDIT - started working again

*2024-11-12, version 1.91*

Always worked ok. Now since v1.90, no longer automatically syncs to my account. Signing out then back in updates the data though. An obvious bug has been introduced, at least for me.

EDIT - working again. I assume a server side issue has been resolved.
