Review of Step Count Accuracy in Samsung Health App
Overall, Samsung Health is a very good app with many useful features. However, I have concerns about the accuracy of the step count rankings. Some users appear to record over 120,000 steps in a single day on a regular basis, which seems highly unrealistic.
These figures raise questions about the accuracy and fairness of the rankings. They can also be discouraging for people who are genuinely trying to stay active and improve their fitness, as it becomes difficult to compete with what appear to be inaccurate or inflated step counts.
I would encourage Samsung to review how steps are tracked and validated to ensure the leaderboard reflects genuine activity. This would help maintain user trust and provide fair motivation for everyone using the app.

Awesome
I’ve had this app with me since the 2010’s and it’s helped monitor my progress throughout the years. Even when I wasn’t attuned to the app it saved and managed my information to be uniquely me.
Does not play nice with iPhone.
Makes my watch useless. Returning the watch. I hate it when companies lock down their products. Makes me never want to use a Samsung product again. What a waste of two hours.
Help plz
can samsung gear fit 2 run samsung health accessories iphone 17
The best
Many thanks
Does not sync
App does not accurately sync to watch. Each shows different activities/readings even when auto-synced.
Search Within Favourites
This is a great app and I use it everyday! One quality of life feature that I think would be such a helpful thing is if I could search within my favourited foods. I’ve used this app for years now and I have accumulated a large list of favourite foods but it’s hard to find what I want because I have to scroll through a huge list. As a software engineer I know this would not be hard to add and would be such a huge benefit users!

Great health monitoring
I’m very happy to see my health progress. I know well ahead where I have to pay attention to monitor my health being highly diabetic and having arrhythmia.
only some of the features work
If the app doesn’t transfer over data of tracked workouts only steps what good is that? now i have to completely rely on the watch itself to find details about my workouts instead of this app that’s syncing the steps, my heart rate, but won’t sync tracked workouts? a bummer almost makes this app unusable

Great tracker
I’ve had this app for a long time and it’s helped me realize the power of moving and to keep moving no matter what. 💪🏼
Nice app missing Galaxy 8
Love this app, nice layout but missing the Galaxy 8 watch, please add the model. Thank you!
Inaccurate step and mile tracking
Inaccurate step and mile distance tracking when phone screen isn’t open
What happened
This app used to be great. I got back into fitness recently and this app was an immediate download again. I just walked 9k steps per my watch (on top of daily total) and this app did not count a single step. I used this app for years and then stop for a couple months, now it doesn’t work. This sucks.

Able to Monitor
This is a brilliant app that helps me monitor my intake of food and calories which then results in good control of my weight. I can also ensure good daily exercise. Sleep monitoring and recording is also a useful tool.
Best app I’ve used only thing missing is food tracker
Calories intake and food pictures to track a better healthy diet.
Disappointed

No cuenta mis pasos adecuadamente, yo camino más de los pasos que cuenta.
Siempre me roba mis pasos y miente al decir que camino menos .

Can’t view history
I moved from a Galaxy to an iPhone and thought I could use this to view my historical data since I no longer have my old phone. There’s no way to see my data from my 5 years using this app on my Samsung phone, so it’s pretty useless
Steps
If you don’t check your steps everyday it stops counting
