Misfit

App update is a bummer

hunterjen

Newest app update tells me it needs to update my Misfit firmware every time I sync. I allow it to finish each time, but still get the message again tyne next day. And the next. And the next. Please fix this bug!

Refuses to honor the request not to share

I just got this, and this is a great app and a great device except for one major flaw which is going to cause me to discontinue the account if it isn’t fixed. There is an “option” to “share my profile and achievements with other Misfit users.” No matter how many times I turn it off, the app turns it back on. I absolutely positively am NOT interested in sharing anything about myself with other Misfit users. And I find this phony “option” that isn’t one to be a serious breach of privacy that is going to compel me to give up Misfit for another product.

Repeatedly freezes and crashes under iOS11

Generally the tracker is fine, the software/app leaves a lot to be desired (compared to multiple, multiple activity tracker platforms I’ve tried in the past several years, and the recent stability issues almost makes this a deal breaker for me

Can’t Use the App

Since updating, the app crashes when I attempt to login (which is now required with this update). Please fix the bugs.

I have one of the original misfit shines which I bought as a selfie birthday present. I love it and still wear it 1.5 years later. I initially lost 15 lbs in 3 weeks by hitting my targeted activity levels every day (or pretty near every day) and have maintained that weight for over a year while gaining muscle mass! My body is stronger and leaner. A lifestyle changer. However! I do think the tracking apps on the Shine can be improved and be more user friendly- I like to cycle on the streets- not gym? and believe the shine app can be adjusted to the many athletic lifestyles enjoyed today. The shine is available in department stores so please, set the apps to reflect our preferred athletic activities! I LOVE keeping on track- going on 3 years now.

Cannot sync after updating

After updating this app the day before yesterday. My ray fails to sync. The battery is full, the Bluetooth is connected and it also says my device is synced just now. But there's no data. It's empty. Please fix this problem quickly.

Simple, easy to use, works most of the time

It’s ok for the basics. The Up app had information that was much more useful and concise. This works well for someone that simply wants to track steps and sleep patterns. I must say that it doesn’t alway sync, sometimes for days; or at the moment after the update. At the moment it has not synchronized to my shine in 2 days after the most recent software update. That’s not so important to me but I can see that it would be frustrating to users that rigorously keep track of steps or sleep patterns.

Not so good

The latest version seems to have more trouble syncing than the previous versions.

My fav is sleep tracking

Sleep tracking and ability to shower with the tracker keeps me using these misfits even with an Apple Watch

I’ve found that this app has become less user friendly over time. The app won’t sync consistently and when it does, sometimes your progress is reduced or erased completely. I’ve installed new batteries and that has not solved the issue. A few weeks ago, I synced my Shine mid morning and then later in the evening. My Shine displayed that I had met my goal for the day in the evening but when I synced in the evening, all my progress was erased from the app and my Shine and I ended the day at almost no progress. I’ve had several other issues with the app not logging swims, while the Shine, has displayed that I’d met my goal before syncing. I also find the app less than user friendly as you can’t manually add activities to previous days. I’ve attempted to manually enter activities, the day of, and it’s saved my entry but no points were added. I know you can adjust the intensity level of some activities when you’re manually entering but not all activities, which is less than ideal. Overall, I love my Shine but get more and more frustrated the more I use the app.
