Is this a joke? – Welltory: Heart Rate Monitor Review

I’m not sure the recent update and redesign is intended to be taken seriously. Certainly a considerable effort was expended in making the app — which already had usability and reliability and accuracy problems —completely unusable and unreliable. Now taking a measurement involves the steps: click tiny icon, get taken to settings (why?), exit settings (I guess), enter endless loop looking for measurement device, exit process, confirm that you want to really exit the process, end up on "cancelled measurement" screen, retry (actually, at last actually try) taking measurement. But that’s not even the worst of it. Feedback and design are so poor throughout that it’s hard to know what’s happened and what hasn't (tags are now ruined). And if that weren’t enough the whole thing is now inhabited by embarrassingly bad and out of place cartoons of tiny people lounging on giant iPhones or wandering around what a appears to be a dystopia made of information screens; screens that appear to be meant to be in the app, but are impossible to discover. But the worst is that despite the effort that clearly went into making this disaster so complete, Welltory has not repaired its buggy and misleading algorithms (repeated promises to do so notwithstanding). Fortunately there are much better and less expensive alternatives. Use one of those and dump this.
