### 4/5 — Finally an app that show me what I want to see

*2026-09-03, version 26.8.26*

Really disappointed by the dumbification of Fitbit into the Google Health app. This app allows me to see lean body mass and basically any other measurement via widgets. Win! The only thing I’d like to see is better choice in the amount of data in charts via the app itself and better UI (it looks like settings but is in fact entry to health data charts) - put them at the top and make them look like buttons not settings!

### 4/5 — 挺好用的，就是UI不太好看，需要优化一下

*2026-03-22*

如题

### 5/5 — Gut durchdacht

*2026-02-12*

genau das, was ich gesucht habe. Toll gemacht !! … aber Daten für Blutdruck werden in der App nicht angezeigt, im Widget funktioniert es

### 1/5 — 闪退打不开

*2026-01-28*

26.2系统没法用啊，重启也没用，桌面插件展示authorization not. determined

### 3/5 — Only steps widget showing

*2026-01-19, version 26.1.15*

Only steps widget showing in iPhone 12! What a waste of money!

### 3/5 — Utile

*2025-12-07*

Tres bien mais il manque certain items et le rafraichessement des données est aleatoire et pas rapide dommage …

### 5/5 — Great little app.

*2025-11-19*

Love it. Some things could make it even better :
- widget’s x-axis : possibility to hide the range on the x-axis (this information being quite useless since I’m the one setting it).
- widget’s  y-axis : possibility to display scale, since this variable isn’t stable. 
- possibility to choose between bar chart and line chart.
- would be great to be able to use as widget the small informations panels I can set on the locked screen.
- more ranges choices. Also the possibility to display in days or weeks instead of months only if I’m setting the range to a year or half a year.

Well, that’s just some ideas. Your app is great and is doing what the HealthKit is lacking. Thanks.

### 4/5 — 使いやすいヘルスケア用ウィジェットツール

*2025-11-04*

ヘルスケアの全データをウィジェット化できる。例えば、ホーム画面に摂取カロリーや消費カロリーを表示できる。非常に便利だが、プログラムの最適化が不十分なのか、操作に反応しないことがある。

### 5/5 — More Health Data for Widgets

*2025-10-07*

This nice little app achieves what Apple surprisingly is not able to do: it provides additional widgets for health data. Those widgets also include lock-screen "complications"! 

If I could make a wish I’d like to be able to set a completely white background. Also it would be nice to have an alternative to Apple's fitness-widget – just with a custom background Color :)

### 5/5 — 小组件的一个建议

*2025-09-20*

小组件的背景建议直接纯白和纯黑，不要渐变

**Developer response:** 去设置里打开“使用纯色”就可以了
