What users are saying

1. Some of the health tracking data is off though, and it seems to either disconnect from, or not download updates from my smart watch as often as I'd like.Aside from technical problems, the app seems to work really well, but a very high percentage of the time (well over half, I'd say at least 4 out of 5 times) after entering my credentials, the app gives a "There was a problem connecting to the server" error.

2. I could for about a week, but now the button doesn't even appear.Can only log in one time, after that it always gives an error message saying it can't connect to the server and I have to reinstall the app to fix it.

3. App performance is slow and the data displayed is often inaccurate until multiple refreshes are done.Although you can select Google Fit as your linked activity tracker, I have never been able to get it to successfully sync.

4. I fall back to using the mobile web page, but the mobile web page can't connect to the fitbit app, so I am unable to enter my steps in a timely manner.

5. It may have something to do with adding my phone as a secure device so that I don't have to keep entering security codes that it otherwise texts to your phone, but that would be just as annoying.

6. I have to reach out to support every time I do a brain assessment because it doesn't record it on its own.

7. Uninstall the download and go through all the steps to log in again and it will work until it times out, or I fall asleep, or someone sneezes.

8. I keep getting an error message that it can't connect to the server.

9. Seems early to tell, but the rewards offered seem good enough to check in at least semi regularly.

10. Why even bother pretending you support these trackers? The activity tracking experience is just frustrating.

11. Unbelievable how it STILL doesn't work even after writing to their customer service.I had a store credit.
