Ratings and reviews

Generally okay. It has had some glitches, but the biggest issue I've found is in the Together steps challenge programming. First, you can't schedule a challenge to start a week away. Second, you can only set challenges to be 4 weeks. We're trying to do weekly challenges & monthly challenges. Unfortunately, you have to remember to set it up each week for that week, you can't set it ahead. Also, you can't set a challenge for an entire month. Except for February, every month is short.

I've loved the app in the past. Not sure if the problem is because of the latest update, but when working out the app auto pauses and asks me if I'm finished. Mid workout. Or if I stop moving the arm my watch is on it thinks I've stopped all together. If it's leg day or I'm working abs there's no hope of it tracking from start to finish. I'd rather focus on working out instead of worrying if I have to restart my timer, especially THREE times in 60 seconds.

Hate, hate, absolutely hate this app! I wish I could not use it but "smart" samsung didn't leave any other way to sync your data from galaxy watch to strava. It syncs what it wishes and when it wishes, it randomly monthly or so disconnects strava, it cannot recognize the length of the pool nor does it give an option to choose it (I swim in 50m pool, it thinks it is a 25m pool), it can't even count laps correctly. If you can, do not use it! (And I do not give it one start, I give it zero stars)

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.
