HealthView: Apple Health App

I have used HealthView app for 2+ years and it helps me to keep a track on my activity and dissect the data like no else. I especially like Monthly views to have a better view of my trends. There are still graphs however that are underdeveloped. Take the Body Fat graph that shows just straight line even if my body fat fluctuates by up to 2% in a month (that’s a lot). App properly captures data from Apple Health, just doesn’t scale the graph properly to display changes. I think it assumes that body fat can change 10-15% to show any trend. Same with displaying the average body fat % that only displays rounded number on the overview page. This is like rounding your weight to the next 10 pounds instead of displaying actual weight.

I was gifted an Apple Watch, I had a Fitbit. My main goal is to track my activity and health. I liked the Fitbit I only wished I could respond to messages. But because Apple and Fitbit can’t play nice that feature never worked. I was highly disappointed in the Apple Watch Activity app! The fact that I couldn’t see how many total calories burned is insanity. I had to go onto the phone app, and it was a footnote on a chart. It’s terrible!!! I was truly to the point of coming up with a way to ditch this thing! I’ve been searching the internet and somehow stumbled upon this app. I selected the free trial and I am immediately happy! It’s now the best of both worlds. I can see every feature I want and customize it, and use Apple features, like respond to texts! This app has truly saved the Apple Watch for me!

This app may single-handedly allow me to keep my Apple Watch. I was feeling very frustrated with the thought of losing the beautiful and simplistic fitbit layout that allows you to drill down and see information, but also has a dashboard that is simple and not overblown with information. Every app I had looked at that dissected Apple health info was either ugly and hard to understand, had too much information, or didn’t have enough information. This app has just the right amount of information, and even better customization than the Fitbit app had. The only thing left that this app doesn’t give me that I REALLY love in the fitbit app is the daily heart rate screen, along with the graph shown in color for the heart rate zones. Also the resting heart rate graph is really helpful for me. If they can add these two features, this finally gives the Apple Watch the same beautiful interface as the fitbit app. Thank you!
