Ratings and reviews

Overall, I think it's just OK. If I run the same route in the same time, the calories burnt will vary by hundreds, which is odd (same with steps). I love the auto record feature, but it's inaccurate with the running. I can no longer exit the app while continuing an exercise video. I wish there was a way to track sleep to the minute, not the 10 minute. The menstrual cycle symptoms are also limited. I would call this app a good starting point.

It worked alright for a while but its been deleting my calories burned for the past week. It's infuriating. I tried restarting it, my phone and the apps but nothing works. Its all updated and it showed my results after first working out but then immediately deleted them. Even in the app. I have screenshots. It makes no sense. I'm literally selling this watch and avoiding Samsung after this.

The app is ok. I find it not very user friendly however. There should be a way to add foods or beverages, that are fairly common, yet not listed in your application. When I save a meal, I can't access it again, and have to go through a whole list, which takes too much time. In trying to add other exercise, the format should allow manual entry, not just a timer for anything beyond walking which it automatically tracks.

What's new
