Ratings and reviews

Could be a lot better. One simple feature I'd really like to see is the ability to make Monday the first day of the week. Like others, my watch constantly vibrates and pauses my workout for no reason, significantly more since the last update. When I do water workouts it vibrates my watch the entire workout, even though I ensure not to leave the watch fully submerged long - yes, waterlock is on. Sleep and step tracking is inconsistent. Overall it's OK but not great.

The app has improved dramatically over the years that i have been using it, however for some reason Samsung chooses not to make heart rate variability (HRV) data available in raw form (msec) and instead presents it as a proprietary and incomprehensible "stress" measurement. Sleep tracking has improved, but the presentation of data is still very basic without the ability to expand to see more details. Excercise data used to have great looking charts, that were replaced by a worse version

The most recent update completely broke this app. It wouldn't open at all and gave an error code. After uninstalling and reinstalling, it opens but ALL of my data/history is gone even though I know it had been backed up multiple times. It also won't sync to my watch. I've been thinking of getting a new watch for a while now, and with this disaster update I don't think I'll be doing Samsung again.

What's new

* Compete against your past running results to try beating your previous time, and crop exercises after you finish to remove any unnecessary time at the beginning or end.
* When you log your menstrual cycle, options you’ve used frequently will appear at the top of the screen. Also, set custom moods if the default options don’t match how you’re feeling.
