Massive Battery Killer

K-dog1973

I continue to be a part of the study, but this app is a battery killer. It is often not necessary to shut down the app in background to stop the thing from quickly driving my phone into a premature cardiac arrest of its own. PLEASE FIX THE BATTERY DRAIN ISSUES!!!!


Crashing iOS 14.2 iPhone 12 Pro Max

Moved over to iPhone 12 Pro Max app crashes on open with Face ID.. Turned off Face ID and it ask for 4 digit code. Never set one up. Never asked to set one up.


The right idea

Daily small survey is do-able. I would like resting HR instructions & prompt 1x per week, but no such function. 6 min walk test is nice. Improvements would be to make clear if activities from Healthkit were being used or not (I’m not certain if my workout yesterday was “recorded” or not. In the past, I would enter the data manually into this App, redundantly to entering it manually into the z health App … except the formats are different!). Further, the circle (yester, today, week) make no sense to me.

I just filled in a detailed list of symptoms- fever, aches etc- resulting from my booster of the Moderna vaccine August 29th. You don’t have the option to list a third vaccine or booster so your algorithm will assume I was ‘sick’ which I wasn’t


Not bad, but definitely some glitches

I've had the app for 3 weeks now and I'm not as impressed with the activity tracking aspect as I hoped. Not once has it recorded "light" activity. It's either sedentary or moderate/vigorous. That can't be right, and definitely doesn't square with what health app/activity on my Apple Watch or my Strava running activity shows. Though I average nearly an hour workout/run every day, the app today informed me I needed to be more active. It would also be nice to see how you compare to other users (by age, gender, weight) for more than just the 6 min walk test. Hopefully the developers will address these issues, because the better the app is at capturing the date, the more useful it will be.


Legit

Good research study


Connectivity

Would really help if fitbit connected to fitbit. The myheart counts app / apple frequently underrates my activity by 50% or so.


Nice to have

App is good even though I haven't used all the features yet. One thing I would add to the app is the date when you put your sleep info. I think I may be inputting duplicate sleep data


Good but could be better

Critter708

Would like to see better integration with the Apple Watch. I should not have to carry my phone for it to know if I am sitting or standing. Coaching seems to be giving the same idea over and over

Easy to use and hopefully provides potential warning signs for heart problems based upon many users and long term data tracking. Probably half of the times I have no entry, I simply forgot. Would be helpful for accuracy of your data base if one could enter excel ISE 1 or 2 days later. Connecting to genetic based data like 23andMe could provide even far greater insight into roles of genetics, exercise, medical history to provide better guidance to users. Currently used tables for predictive heart issues seems very poor. I cycle many weekend days--Sat or Sun for 2+ hours with an average HR of 126-127 and peak of 140+ for 3-5 min 2or 3 times on hills, so estimate I must be in the upper 2-3%, maybe 1% in fitness for a 75 year old male and my life expediency seems less than average--seems to make no sense to me. It would also be great if you could connect into MapMyFitnss or any of their related Apps as I & I think many users wear a HR Monitor & I suspect max HR & recovery time are better predictor of heart health than what you are measuring. Would also be convenient if one could log exercise a day or two later as I sometimes forget to enter until the next day. It's certainly easy to use & I hope someday in the future, you will post any publications of what you've learned.
