As a new release, the app isn’t bad but there is a lot of room for improvement. Cons:It’s designed to give you a health score based on a very limited set of criteria, and while this will work for the majority of it’s users it has significantly failed to capture certain *essential* nuances which would make it an ideal health companion for all users. The bot also has very limited range for user interaction which can be frustrating at times....and easy to cheat; if you’re so inclined.The interface is slightly complicated and doesn’t have a very organic flow or ease to use. But as with everything; after a few interactions it becomes slightly easier but still remains over complicated. The “Rewards” system used is not especially amazing either. (This app works by a. Giving the user a health score and b. Allocating “Reward Points” based on achievements set out by the app; movement, diet etc;). In essence, if you already have a FitBit the rewards are of no significance to you as 90% of the rewards offered are for discounts off various FitBit models. Pros:It combines mental health factors that I have not seen incorporated in any other “fitness” app. It tracks lifestyle as a evolving variable. It tracks body fat %, cholesterol, blood pressure, blood composition and heart rate (among others) to offer a far more holistic view of health. Everything considered I still use this app although admittedly it is with far less zeal than I had originally.
Hi, Thank you for your feedback.The initial Health Score you receive when you first register for the app is based on four pieces of information, height, weight, sex at birth and date of birth, this is the base Health Score. Post registration, the more information you provide the more accurate your Health Score becomes. You can add BMI, heart rate, blood pressure, blood values etc. in the Track section of the app.Your Health Score also changes based on your level of activity, sleep and your interaction with the coach.We are continuously looking to improve the coach questions and answer format. You should notice improvements over the next couple of months.We update the rewards available within the store on a regular basis. We appreciate your feedback and thank you for the time you've taken to do this.Kind regards, JoannaMyLife Support01 704 1943 l support@mylife.irishlife.ie
