Ratings and reviews

Tried to connect this app to my fit bit as it appeared to recognise it on my phone. It doesn't stay connected so the app thinks I'm a couch potato. Consequently most of the exercises I already do, some exercises I can't do and the education pages reflect someone who doesn't exercise. Anyone who knows me, knows I do exercise. I've stopped reading the education pages, and I think I'll give the space back to my phone for an app that uses the space constructively. Frustrating & disappointing.

I will be editing as and if needed, generally it's easy to use but its annoying to every single time you open the app, it asks to connect to Google Fit. The educational messages often carry a patronising tone.

Why is this app available in the app store? States it's not available in the UK when you attempt to sign up. Pointless.
