## What is HealthGlance?

If app does not show on your Watch after purchase, please read troubleshooting steps at the end of this description.

Health Glance is a standalone Watch app that provides customisable health data complications, with support for multiple different complications. You can also view health data in the app, without using complications.

- Support most data types from HealthKit (i.e. data that you can also see in the Health app on your iPhone)
- Add multiple complication configurations, and set any of them as a complication, support for multiple different complications at the same time
- Support for all watch faces and complication slots
- Summary of all configured data when you open the app
- Set goals, complications can show difference from goal, or percentage completed
- Configure period for data. E.g. 7 day average Weight, Step Count from last 24 hours, Yesterday walking distance. All data types have many period types to choose from
- Configure unit
- Set custom icon, from a selection of more than 100 icons
- Complication second line can show icon, unit, or can be hidden
- Set colors, separately for value and icon (only for multicolor watch faces)
- Option to hide unit
- Complications update every 20 minutes, if it's not enough you can open the app any time to see the most up-to-date data
- Standalone watch app means there is no iPhone app, you can configure everything on your watch

Privacy:
The application only stores data needed for your complications, and stores this data locally, on your watch. The app never connects to the internet or any 3rd party service.

Troubleshooting:
 - Application doesn't show on Watch after purchase:
Please go to the App Store on your Watch (not iPhone) and find the app here either by searching the name, or by going to Account (at the bottom), Purchased, and download the app from here.
- Application/complication shows 0 for some data:
a) There is no data in Health for that type and period.
b) You didn't authorise HealthKit access on the first launch. On your iPhone go to Health app > Account > Privacy > Apps > Health Glance.
c) New data added on your iPhone takes couple minutes to sync with your watch.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-07-01, version 1.6*

App complications don’t work on new watch OS

### 5/5 — Perfectly simple!

*2026-02-26, version 1.6*

So much data in health and this complication is perfect for exposing it on the watch.  Love it!

### 5/5 — Great for step count

*2025-12-18, version 1.6*

I’ve been using this app for years and finally got around to rating it. I only use it to add step count and it works perfectly.

### 1/5 — Useful but needs update

*2025-09-17*

The complications no longer update. The font needs to be adjustable larger for the bigger complications. It’s been a year since the last update.

### 5/5 — Simple is the best

*2025-07-14*

Works perfectly on my Apple Watch Series 9. It’s simple, easy to set up, and very user-friendly. Definitely worth the purchase. Very recommended.

### 5/5 — Yes it. Is worth getting 🫶

*2025-04-19, version 1.6*

Yes it is

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2024-08-08, version 1.6*

Thanks so much. It’s perfect. Simple and I love the way it looks on my watch. 

If you could add a way to control the background colour I’d love that too!

### 1/5 — Not Updating

*2024-06-15, version 1.6*

Does not update the step count on my watch. The entire day it displayed the number of steps from the last time I tapped the app yesterday.

### 5/5 — Can we have a "total calories"?

*2024-03-18*

Just equal to basal + active?

Otherwise the app is perfect- I don't know why the health app itself doesn't have something so basic...

### 3/5 — No mindful minutes…

*2023-12-26, version 1.5*

Main reason I wanted it. Getting a refund.
