HealthyNow for Android

I wear my Google Watch daily. I have made sure all settings are correct. Steps from my Google Watch do not show up in this app. They show up in every other app I use. Very disappointing. Useless.

They have lucky that we can’t give half of stars. I download it to get company benefits but this app have a poor quality.

If I am going to use an app it should be easy to load and use. This is not. Loaded and then promptly deleted this app.

I discovered that when I sync my steps with this app, it logs significantly more steps than what displays for the daily total in Google’s Health Kit. This appears to be the result of a bug. Instead of pulling the daily steps from Health Kit, the app pulls the total steps from every device connected to your Android. So, if you go and run 3 miles with an Google Watch on your wrist and an Android strapped to you arm, at the end of the day the HealthyNow app will sync 6 miles worth of steps. I was using the app to more easily upload my steps for the wellness challenge at work but after a month (when it became apparent something was off) had to go back and update each day’s data to be accurate. All I can recommend is to not use this app to log steps until they fix this.

Linked the app to my phone so it could track my steps so I don’t have to log my steps manually, but for some reason the app will add extra steps to my day. One day the app showed that I took over 18,000 steps but I really only has about 7-8,000. Also, tried tracking my calories, but it’s difficult to enter the food I’ve eaten. Too many chain restaurant meal options. I don’t dine out that often.
