1. [R3] Google Health (Fitbit) 3/5 · US Good app: I don’t like that I can scroll back through the week to see my steps from previous days; something I could do in the Fitbit app. Waiting until the email with the week’s total doesn’t allow for me to adjust my workouts from day to day.
2. [R5] Google Health (Fitbit) 4/5 · US I miss Fitbit…: This was Fitbit before Google Health took over. The only complaint I have is that sometime in the early morning, I forget to put my watch on and because I know approx how many steps I do on the same daily walk, Fitbit would allow to manually add your steps to your day whereas Google will not allow it but will let you manually add the time which is not doing anything to see your ste
3. [R10] Google Health (Fitbit) 2/5 · US Fitbit was better: The previous app when it was Fitbit was way better. It was more customizable and easier to track macros. Can we please go back. 😅
4. [R18] Google Health (Fitbit) 2/5 · US Boooo google health: Please bring back more original data of Fitbit app. - For heart rate, show estimated fitness level. Show current heart rate shown live, large and on top in the app - It’s nice to be able to prop phone up and see current heart as you are exercising. - For hourly activity, show average longest idle time, and the longest idle time for that day. Nice to know that I’m doing a be
5. [R1] Google Health (Fitbit) 2/5 · US Update makes it worse: Syncing with the Fitbit Charge 6 watch and my iPhone 13 is unbelievably bad. It used to work quite well before the latest update. How could something that worked so well now work so poorly? Was there no testing? Hope it gets fixed ASAP. ALSO, why does it take so taps to record my current weight? It seems it could be done in fewer steps as I’m thinking most users will b
6. [R7] Google Health (Fitbit) 1/5 · US Awful Design: This app is worthless. Poor design and functionality. Worst app I’ve used.
7. [R13] Google Health (Fitbit) 1/5 · US I want the Fitbit app back!: Every time I go to use the Google Health app, I’m unhappy with it for one reason or another. It’s not simplified and I have to click, scroll, hunt, etc, but my current frustration is when scrolling to the bottom of the Today tab, it freezes the entire app. No more scrolling, no more clicking, and can’t use the other tabs either. I have to close the app and start over,
8. [R14] Google Health (Fitbit) 1/5 · US Terrible Layout: UPDATE: So, because I wrote this very negative review, the developers wrote to me to try to talk me out of it! AND they gave me a dumb as* link to help me “explore” the new app!!! Unbelievable! THAT’S their response??? No, I don’t want to have to “explore” your app. I want it to be intuitive, the way the old app was! Are you so clueless as to how people use these kinds of things?
9. [R4] Google Health (Fitbit) 2/5 · US Google Health Ruined a Great Fitbit: For years my Fitbit Inspire 3 delivered accurate sleep tracking and reliable vitals. Then Google took over, and it went downhill fast. The Google Health app misses readings and skips recordings every single day. I tried everything, restarting my iPhone, deleting and reinstalling the app, all the textbook fixes. Nothing worked. The app populates less than half
10. [R6] Google Health (Fitbit) 3/5 · US Still needs work but getting there!: Specifically the daily food diary. Takes way too long to add food now versus the regular Fitbit app I used to use. And the sleep app also needs work. Sometimes get “no data” for no reason. Tried restarting everything and still not there, even though the readiness uses this data to set so I know it’s in there somewhere. If the food and sleep data is fully upda
11. [R11] Google Health (Fitbit) 3/5 · US Changes: So many application changes…all of the automation between devices has syncing manual. You get a step count…I can keep a spreadsheet just as easily for the rest now. Bought two scales and now this one won’t with a single regrettable app update. If you’re gonna steal my data at least make mine convenient for me.
12. [R15] Google Health (Fitbit) 1/5 · US Not happy: This new versa 2 is not as good as the one i had for a long time Google screwed it up
13. [R16] Google Health (Fitbit) 2/5 · US I miss the FitBit app: This doesn’t update as quickly and it even tracking my naps. I’m disappointed and guess I’ll get rid of my Fitbit. :-(
14. [R35] Google Health (Fitbit) 1/5 · US Battery drain: Ever since they forced the Fitbit app to Google health my battery life is terrible. Also before all the stats were on the same screen, easy to scroll down and see. Now it’s all hidden and convoluted. At this point I’m considering another fitness tracker.
15. [R9] Google Health (Fitbit) 3/5 · US Have to track food in another app now: Gave up on using food tracking (worked fine in Fitbit app) too labor intensive now. Sometimes, to get it to fully sync, you need to close and open the app. Other features ok or improved.
16. [R26] Google Health (Fitbit) 2/5 · US ⭐️⭐️: the changes are nice EXCEPT for how it asks me a question when i start an exercise 😤 the fitbit is always c connected to my phone via Bluetooth. WHY are you bothering to ask that question in the flow of going to exercise. Then if u are exercising at a light pace like yoga 🧘‍♀️ or stretching, it asks if u want to stop the exercise. IF i WANT TO STOP IT i WILL!😤 Both of these changes in the op
17. [R31] Google Health (Fitbit) 2/5 · US All the best features are gone: I feel like part of the fun of a Fitbit is having badges and milestones- even the sleep animals are fun. Why do company’s insist on taking joy out of successful features
18. [R47] Google Health (Fitbit) 2/5 · US Updates: The best thing Google Health could do is remove every update they have made since buying Fitbit. Nothing they have done is an improvement.
