HealthyNow 12+

I discovered that when I sync my steps with this app, it logs significantly more steps than what displays for the daily total in Apple’s Health Kit.

This appears to be the result of a bug. Instead of pulling the daily steps from Health Kit, the app pulls the total steps from every device connected to your iPhone. So, if you go and run 3 miles with an Apple Watch on your wrist and an iPhone strapped to you arm, at the end of the day the HealthyNow app will sync 6 miles worth of steps.

I was using the app to more easily upload my steps for the wellness challenge at work but after a month (when it became apparent something was off) had to go back and update each day’s data to be accurate. All I can recommend is to not use this app to log steps until they fix this.

It's hard enough to get people to track their activity and food calories. So an app needs to be easy to use. This app is not. I am not likely to spend upwards of two minutes searching for a certain food in the list. I'm not likely to spend upwards of two minutes searching for the exercise I just did. Please take a note from other trackers and have more generic food categories such as "chicken breast"and not a specific restaurant's dish. A barcode scanner could be awesome. A list of most used foods would be great too but somebody would have to use the app long enough to build such a list.

There is also no way to track strength training (which earns associates & dependents points)... if I Have to go to desktop to log strength training then why would I bother with the app?

To put it bluntly, this is the only tracking app that I’ve used that is totally useless. Everything is a manual input. It supposedly links to your devices for data but it doesn’t. Food tracking is vague and difficult to use while providing no nutritional information. It doesn’t alert you of challenges because you have to sign up through your computer. A mobile app is a complete waste since it doesn’t do anything. I am trying to figure out why I even have this on my phone.
