Runmefit 4+

I’ve had the device and thus the app for about a month now. It does seem to track steps acceptably and the health tracking data is useful. There are two critical glitches that limit its usefulness and make me want to look for a different device and app.

First, the app takes way to long to update from the device. I’ve not timed it, but it actually takes longer than an older predecessor from the same bracelet manufacturer. Along the same lines, it can be frustrating to find historical data points.

The second issue is more of an issue for me. When using the actual exercise mode (for cycling in this case), the app seems to arbitrarily stop tracking in the middle of my ride. I have to constantly check it which is really irritating when I’m in the zone. Today, it stopped 4 times over about 16 miles. That means that I am not really sure how far or long I biked. It is probably more than reported here. That problem alone makes me want to switch.

On a related note, the bracelet that associates with the app is advertised to have a 15-day battery life. I knew better than to believe that, but am surprised at the reality: 1.5 days is about average.

For the record, the app updated last week. My phone is also the most recent IPhone and is also up to date.

1. The timer on the exercise is totally inaccurate. If I worker out 30 minutes it will show 15 or 18 minutes
2. The sleep function again is inaccurate. One night I was up all night and it showed deep sleep 4 hours and wide awake 30 minutes despite getting up and laying down all night.
3. My heart rate/ oxygen almost always exactly the same
It looks very nice but not reliable in my opinion
Text and phone call alerts is a very nice feature as is the weather. I find it a little awkward to take the band off to charge but o guess I can live with that

Downloaded this app about a month ago after purchasing a fitness band. Worked fine when I got it but for almost a week now the app and my fitness device will not connect. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app,no dice. Tried installing the app on my old unused phone,same problem. Customer support is useless;even if you do report a problem they never get back in touch with you. After a lot of aggravation and googling the problem I am left with the conclusion that it is a problem with the device itself and it happens frequently as I have read statements of other people it happened to. Don’t bother with this app or the “fitness band” that it works with. Neither are worth a bent nickel.
