Google Fit: Activity Tracking

Google LLC

About this app

Get to a healthier and more active life with the new Google Fit!

It's hard to know how much or what kind of activity you need to stay healthy. That's why Google Fit collaborated with the World Health Organization (WHO) and the American Heart Association (AHA) to bring you Heart Points, an activity goal that can help improve your health.

Activities that get your heart pumping harder have tremendous health benefits for your heart and mind. You'll earn one Heart Point for each minute of moderate activity, like picking up the pace when walking your dog, and double points for more intense activities like running. It takes just 30 minutes of brisk walking five days a week to reach the AHA and WHO's recommended amount of physical activity shown to reduce the risk of heart disease, improve sleep and increase overall mental wellbeing.

Google Fit will also help you:

TRACK YOUR WORKOUTS FROM YOUR PHONE OR WATCH
Get instant insights when you exercise and see real-time stats for your runs, walks and bike rides. Fit will use your Android phone's sensors or Wear OS by Google smartwatch's heart rate sensors to record your speed, pace, route and more.

MONITOR YOUR GOALS

MAKE ALL YOUR MOVEMENT COUNT
If you walk, run or bike throughout the day, your Android phone or Wear OS by Google smartwatch will automatically detect and add your activities to your Google Fit journal to ensure that you get credit for every move. Want extra credit? Turn up the tempo on your walks by starting a paced walking workout and stepping to the beat. Enjoy a different type of workout?

Ratings and reviews

12/15/2023 3:47 pm California time. After verification works with my phone per app. Unable to do anything but enter by hand values of blood pressure and pulse rate. I have no other "fit" devices. To monitor anything. Per app I am supposed to get some kind of a reading using the 3 camera side. Not so far not even a bad reading. But I did find tracking of how far I walked. Already have a good blood pressure and pulse detection and automatic logging 2 phone and device. I am waiting 4 the response.

I like the fact that when looking in the journal section it shows your route during activity on a map. I am having trouble with the app though. One minute it shows me how many steps I have walked and then later it has erased the step count but has recorded that I have been for a walk. It means that despite the fact I have met my goals it is registering that I haven't.

I've used this app for years . Up until recently it worked as it should,but since around 11-2023 the app has been broken for tracking any kind of activity involving distance & maps. It'll have me crossing through fences & private property. I have sent feedback at least once about this, unfortunately, when the screenshot is sent it doesn't include the map, probably for privacy purposes so I can only describe it. It worked fine on my P7P, Nexus 5X, etc. Other reviews say the same thing. Pls fix.
