Is anyone else struggling with the new Google Health app interface?

Can you get it to show just calories consumed? It keeps adjusting mine and I ate a snack thinking I was low on calories, totally annoyed now.

🤣 That’s the one upside of the wretched app: it’s actually crediting me for my exercise far more accurately than before. Otherwise , it’s like being in the 7th circle of hell. Especially when you try to record your weight. Plus it’s refusing to sync with my Liva app, so that’s yet another job to add to the ‘to do’ list .

Ah, OK I get what you mean now.

Thanks yes I've done this but BPM isn't available as a large round icon which would replicate what I had previously

This is one of the reasons I want to turn off HR monitoring as even the Fitbit app kept congratulating me for being in the fat burning zone when I was asleep!! Tried again last night it off and it didn't log any sleep
Useless.

@Seasidewalker I customised the icons to include BPM - is this what you’re looking for?

Ok - coach is working better . So if I log food one day via coach (I have a pretty standard breakfast most days ), then I can ask it to ‘log yesterdays breakfast’

If you dig around in the settings it looks like you can set the threshold values for low and high. Click on your photo, Google health settings, then scroll down to preferences and hopefully you can see Heart rate there and it looks like you can set custom settings as you could on Fitbit- I don't want to play with mine as I have custom values that I don't want it to bugger up!

Oddly my low threshold carried over from Fitbit but it prompted me to (re)set a high threshold.

Fingers crossed it works for you. Mine is still merrily congratulating me on good Cardio scores which are actually caused by my med condition genetated elevated HR - it doesn't understand that it is not a positive thing 🙄 At least I've turned it off the big icon. I have no idea why that wouldn't have BPM as one of the large icon options? I genuinely wonder who designed this app!

I can’t even leave a bad review for this app!

Apparently, despite the Fitbit app turning itself into the Google Health app and sitting there on my phone with all my data in it, the App Store thinks that I haven’t bought or downloaded the app!
I can even open this app that I apparently don’t have through the App Store!

Stupid app. I think I’m going to start researching alternatives.

Also, when I bought a Fitbit it was because it was Fitbit, a specialised app and not bloody google (which I refuse to use). So I’m pretty pissed off.
New start…no tech.

I think this is the final push to me not wearing this thing. It appealed to me because I like data and stats and like to have a fitness goal, but in reality it’s just a bit of a con. I think I’m going to ditch it! I know when I’m fit and when I’m not. It will be weird doing a workout and not immediately checking how many calories I’ve burned and how much cardio I’ve done.

Also my heart didn't beat at all between 4:10am and 4:35am.

I have apparently been awake since just after 3am. I found this out when I woke at 7am.

Now don't trust any of the data.

Apparently I did a 20 min bike ride this morning and covered 0 distance.

I didn’t - I mowed the lawn.

I have a low resting heart rate - low to mid 40s is totally normal for me. It keeps alerting me of this as if I should be alarmed by it but my RHR has always been consistently low ever since I started wearing the thing, probably about 5 years now!

Thanks. Ill keep trying and hopefully get somewhere.
Although may regret being able to get onto the app from the sound of it!!

Mine is also a Charge 2 and did sync ok (although I did have to re-add it as nothing carried across from the old app).

Hopefully it will work for you eventually.

App is still rubbish though.

Probably lying awake thinking about how shit the app is or having nightmares about it 😂

I've had a go with the AI coach but it's not much cop. It has amnesia of anything you just told it, so what's the point of AI that doesn't actually learn? I have it linked to Nutracheck so mostly ignore what's on Fitbit/Google except for the automatic step/exercise tracking and track food/exercise on Nutracheck instead.

Mine will no longer record my sleep if the HR monitor is off. I don't want details of sleep stages etc it just makes me anxious. On the Fitbit app it would track via movement and say how long I had been asleep / restless etc but this one does nothing at all unless I turn the HR monitor on
Has anyone found any way to make it work?

Where can I find how to review this clunky shit app?

The most recent App Store reviews are generally 1 or occasionally 2 star and are titled things like ‘Terrible’, ‘Awful’, ‘Clunky’, ‘Inaccurate’, ‘Rubbish’, ‘Buggy’ etc.

You get the drift.

My Fitbit is refusing to connect to it.

People want to have jobs coding. Or changing the specs, perhaps for AI to code?

So apps get worse, when they were fine in the first place.

I can't even get mine to sync to my fitbit
Its a charge 2 so old but is still showing on the list and was working fine.
I used to use it to log steps on my Henley fitness traing app and so now can't do that. Luckily track weight and calories via nutracheck
Anyone got any recommendations for a non apple replacement. Prefer a slimmer tracker if possible
