First off, I really like the ring. Second, as someone who is blind, I appreciate that the app works reasonably well with Voiceover, the iPhone screen reader. However, I have noticed that the step count is nowhere near that given by my Apple Watch. You need to add indoor walk (such as on a treadmill) and elliptical workouts. The ring counts my time on the elliptical as actual steps, but doesn't seem to count anything at all from my time on the treadmill. As I wear this ring on the same hand I hold my cane in, I don't move my arm quite as much, or in the same way as most people. Actually, I find that I don't move either arm as much as most people when I walk, but the Apple Watch still picks up my steps, where the ring does not. Also, it doesn't seem to export advanced sleep data to Apple health, so all it shows if I wear only the ring to bed is time in bed or time asleep, but no info in Apple Health about the breakdown of my sleep, such as core, deep and REM sleep. It would be nice to not have to wear both my watch and the ring to bed, but until your app can export all the same data, I'm stuck having to use both. Finally, the app does not always update the stats, and I have to force close and then re-open in order for it to refresh. It says "pull down to refresh," but nothing seems to happen when using VoiceOver. So, like I said, great ring, pretty good app, but still some room for improvement.

First let me start by saying, the recordings for my BP, Heart rate and Blood Oxygen are ALL accurate! So I’m greatly appreciating the smart ring for this. The step count however, not so much. The step count even after taking 20 steps and then it’s supposed to start calculating- well, that’s not the case. I was up at 6:30 am and until 9:30 am it said I had no steps- Step count zero on the app’s opening page. However, when I go under Steps/history record it’s showing 739 steps with most of them being when I was sleeping!! It says I walked 695 steps during the night while sleeping. PLEASE FIX THIS ASAP with an update!!!! Do this and I’ll be able to confidently rate this app 5-Stars!

Another UPDATE Been 2 days since last charge of the ring. Has not recorded any sleep data since. I wish there were another app I could use for this ring cuz this app is rubbish. UPDATE As of this morning the ring has no data except for an 8pm heart rate from the night before. Nothing else. Device will not connect to Bluetooth. Have restarted my iPhone as well as Bluetooth. Still dead in the water. Have been meticulous about drying if it does get splashed. Since device won’t connect I can’t tell if it’s a low battery issue, although I did charge it fully a couple of days ago. A more prominent low battery warning would be nice. Should’ve gone with the Oura ring. Very disappointed. Original: I bought this to replace a ‘smart watch’ which was bulky & annoying. I am on my 1st recharge after wearing almost a full week. I enjoy the sleep analysis, although not sure how accurate the hours of sleep are. I wish there were options for exercise that include elliptical cuz that’s my machine of choice. There is a discrepancy between my elliptical and the ring when it comes to distance, approximately 1 mile. Kind of important. I wish there were a way to save my data to the cloud along with other apps. Not thrilled that my health info is collected.
