precise location (GPS and network-based)
Allows the app to get your precise location using the Global Positioning System (GPS) or network location sources such as cell towers and Wi-Fi.

Very temperamental... frustrating at times. I so want this to work. The area where you enter your own data is fine - eg how many glasses of water, sleep, food etc. But the pulse, oxygenation reader makes me give this app 2* as it takes ages to make a reading. I mean, trying for 30+mins - does that sound OK to you? And then it still doesn't do a reading. I don't know how many times I've read 'check that your figure is on the sensor'..... it definitely doesn't do well if your extremities are cold.

monitor app First, why the ads when I've already paid for the watch. Second, the app stopped showing me how many flights of stairs. And now, it hasn't given me any insight on sleep. I doubt this app could be any less functional. I can't wait till I get enough money to buy another fitbit. Updated: latest update does not give any new features, just locks you out of your health data unless you agree to new terms of service. Give less and take more is Samsung's new motto

2021-04-11T17:57:30.843Z

app In response to the developer: Optimal experience is still ZERO reason to need access to contacts & phone calls. In this age of endless hacks, no one else sees it today, but tomorrow is a different story. So my work around for now, was to grant permission to get back into the app and then revoke permission. Might be time to look around for a new fitness app.

monitor I enjoyed this app at the beginning when I started using it. However when they changed it and added two step verification I decided not to use it anymore. The app wants to much access to my phone and that is a not happening. The app does not need access to make calls to track my weight loss. If I can't delete this app from my phone I will definitely be blocking all access now.

login Used this app for years and loved it, would have give 5 stars. Even have the watch. Now after last upgrade it wants to manage phone calls and have access to my contacts. I can't open the app unless I give that permission to all of the options. Extremely disappointed. It feels like you have crossed a line with the requested permission requirements.

watch For a workout app that has been around for 6 years, you'd think something as basic and essential as user-defined max heart rate was implemented. The 220 minus your age thing is not valid for the majority of people. Until this is fixed, get a workout app that takes itself and its users seriously. Also, stay away from any Samsung peripheral like watches, as you'll have the same issue there unless you use a third party app, for which support is very lacking on Tizen.
Sandra Yates

2021-04-10T22:01:27.825Z

care discount Loved it until recent update. I cannot use it anymore as I have denied access to my calls. I see no reason why it should have access. Would have given no stars if that was an option. I have not just installed it I have been using it for over a year withot issues and it now will not run without additional permissions. Your response does not make sense.

2021-04-13T09:09:07.708Z

monitor app download The new update renders this app completely useless. It's like being held hostage. It won't work at all unless you give it total access to your contacts, which is a huge invasion of privacy. The Together workout challenges won't work unless you connect to all your contacts. I don't want that! It's feels like a virus, phishing malware, and a Trojan horse all rolled into one! I loved it. Now I hate it and am dumping it.

apk Been using this app for over 2 years now and finally deciding to call it quits and delete it. The app used to be simple and worked nicely but with recent updates, it now blocks you from using it and viewing your own data unless you allow permissions like letting the app make phone calls (which I don't want to) and make a samsung account (you weren't required to make an account before). Wish it would go back to the way it was before...
Chris Carter

2021-04-11T18:53:41.827Z

monitor apk Was good until the recent update which now asks for permission to access my contacts & calls. If you don't grant it access to your contacts it won't let you access global challenges anymore - there's absolutely no need for Samsung to be able to access my contacts' personal details for that feature. This is nothing short of an invasion of privacy.
Deborah Hodkinson

2021-04-13T10:04:14.533Z

The app has changed so much in recent mths with updates that it is now no longer a health tracker! I can't see how I will benefit from the new layout as it is nowhere near encouraging, it just frustrates me, certain platforms have been removed which has made the layout much harder to read and understand. The watch is fab but that is all it is now a smart watch that you can make and recieve call & text on. Change it back to how it was! Please!
Bob Bass

2021-04-13T11:33:52.457Z

You used to be able to track your stress and you blood oxygen levels, now you cant. I read many of the other concerns with needing access to contacts as well as microphone. You have definitely killed this app. Don't give me a generic apology like you have everyone else. I will be looking to buy and use a fitbit I'm the next couple of months, the Samsung watches now are useless. Very sad for Samsung, I know you will loose lots of business from this.
Wireball MacCarter

2021-04-12T20:58:51.299Z

Pretty decent, although despite turning off all power saving features, the interval notifications stop playing when the screen is off (except when on charger) on Samsung Galaxy S7 (Android 8.0). Edit: As the developer noted, the permission to manage and make phone calls is only used if one uses the "Together" feature - however, I can't get into the app if I don't grant that permission. I'd prefer it if the app just didn't let me use that feature if I denied permission.
Onkar Harry

2021-04-09T13:51:14.969Z

I've used this app for many years and track steps, sleep, calories, and water intake, and join the step challenges. But with this update I block access to phone as a matter of principle. It is sad, because I will miss using the app. I would give it 5 star otherwise, and with this update I'm so upset that I want to give it 1 star, but figure I will rate it in the middle.
Zack

2021-04-13T11:16:06.276Z

Took me two days of messing with this app to get it to work again. Having to go just shy of a complete reset. I still think the new permissions (contacts, phone, camera) are overreaching for a health app. I find it creepy samsung wants all my contacts and has "marketing" checked by default. Also while the help desk person was friendly and tried to help this time, they sadly weren't much help at all.
Khristina Knowlton

2021-04-12T15:13:59.706Z

I absolutely would have given this app a five stars 6mo ago. I switched my phone & the app no longer works. I was kind waiting for an update that made it work. Still had a Galaxy and Samsung The app itself it doesn't record anything except steps. It doesn't read for heart rate blood O² and stress. It did. Now it doesn't do what it was designed for. I've even upgraded my phone to a 21+ in Jan. Still waiting for an upgrade to make it work.
Ryan McDonald

2021-04-11T00:25:49.475Z

This is a really good app for tracking food, exercise and over all health. The only thing I would add to it, is the option to take a picture of ingredients on foods and supplements that are not listed in the search bar. This would allow more accurate meals and supplements added as well as adding more foods and supplements to the search options for every user.
Chris Chappell

2021-04-13T12:37:59.437Z

So I'd been using the app for several years and was generally happy with it. Now it is asking to for permission to make a receive calls which is unacceptable for a health app. I see a lot of Samsung responses to reviews saying that they only use the info to make the app better. If you actually read their privacy policy you find that they can give the information to pretty much whoever they like and for whatever reason. That's pretty much expected from apps today, but having a PR response trying to suggest otherwise pushed me over into writing this review.
Kel H

2021-04-10T01:20:51.207Z

I love this app but it shouldn't need access to make phone calls or access my phone app. There is nothing in the updated privacy notice about this permission and when I pull up the information for this permission, it's vague. Just another thing for this app to run in the background. Its the only health app I use so I guess I'll be looking for another...
Maria Beatrice Galicia

2021-04-11T19:42:00.330Z

Update: I had a problem with logging in due to verification codes never actually reaching my phone despite several attempts during the day. After mentioning the issue, customer service were able to send me an email with steps to follow through, afterwhich I was able to log in. Kudos for the fairy immediate service! Now, in terms of utilization, the app is amazing! It has several features, my favourite of which are the challenges where you can have virtual runs and races with your friends.
Darren Gibson

2021-04-13T13:49:01.100Z

Used to work fine. The app is now intentionally broken by Samsung with the latest update unless you give it an unnecessary amount of permission to steal your private data. Honestly, why does a fitness app need to collect personal data on who speak to on the phone? Talked to customer service, and they tried to give some BS excuses, but no answer as to why they are collecting this data, and no way to disable it. We are just supposed to trust them. Dont install the latest update. It is SPYWARE!
Rodrigo Almeida

2021-04-11T19:50:00.545Z

Since the last update it's useless, it forces 2FA and makes you log in, then you can choose to not activate it and makes you log in again only to give you de error "ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED". If you try sending an email good luck because you can't submit it and the FAQ doesn't address this. Update: as I said before, I can't send an email through the app, I press submit and nothing happens
Jamie-lee Wilson

2021-04-13T16:10:23.833Z

I love this app. Only problem I have is that workouts on fitness apps doesn't synchronize like it does on the Google Fit app. Or if you could atleast add a General workout under the excercise section where I can just insert time and the calories burned; it takes too much time selecting push-ups, sit-ups, jumping jacks, etc and inserting all workout information individually. Please find a solution for this, I really enjoy this app.
Dave Combe

2021-04-12T07:04:34.370Z

The functions and features are good, sleep/exercise/food etc and all generally work well. The sleep tracking appears to work but there's a distinct lack of detail about how much of each type of sleep you should be getting. The integration with other services however is surprisingly straightforward. My main issue is that the app recently updated to now make phone permissions mandatory. No idea why and the description on the store says optional. Plus their fo tact email isn't for contacting them.
Natalya Leistiko

2021-04-12T11:51:07.961Z

Great app; been using for about 2.5 years straight. The UI is super easy to understand and generally the app runs well. One thing I'd like to see is the weight management tile come back. That REALLY helped keep me on track. Another function I wish the app could have is scanning food barcodes like MyFitnessPal; with that function, I'd be able to just use Samsung Health exclusively.
B Ellis

2021-04-10T01:19:20.288Z

I really enjoyed this app until the latest update requiring additional, unreasonable permissions like access to phone and contacts. Since I can't access the app now w/o allowing the new permissions, which I will never allow, it's basically useless and will be uninstalled as soon as I finish this review. Nice job developers! Watch the one star review bar grow! More importantly, my Samsung Active 2 watch also just became far less useful without this app, so I'll be looking for a different brand.
Kasha Strathman

2021-04-11T03:27:06.396Z

It's ridiculous to be presented with a choice to allow or deny a permission but to only allow access if the 'correct' option is selected. I understand this allows for use of certain features in the app and I have no concern that you are stealing information. So fine, disable those features until I decide to use them and grant permission. You do not need access to my phone calls to count my steps and log my walks when I do not participate globally/together and dont want 2 factor verification.
Yelena Selyuzhitskiy

2021-04-14T06:40:43.721Z

After the new update, I'm no longer able to log in. It forces me to set up two step verification, which I do and then it gives me an error code. Whoever coded this totally messed up because you get an error when you select the "not now" option for the two step verification AND you get an error code when you do set up two step verification. So now I'm logged out of my account and can't access it regardless of what option I choose. Hire better coders please.

2021-04-09T11:09:15.743Z

The health app works well. Easy to use. But, to get the full potential from the app you must have a samsung phone with the samsung watch. Have a samsung watch 3 and am disappointed that the ecg feature - key reason I purchased - does not work because I have a different brand phone. Samsung, it's time to release the ecg feature to all users. This is a major feature with that watch.
Jackie Ellis

2021-04-10T11:22:18.338Z

App required me to sign in again for 2 step authentication, which for personal fitness for me, is totally over the top. I should be able to choose whether to use it, regardless the app would not open so reinstalled. It's just lost all of my workout data, except the last month. All of it. Follow up: Your response doesn't help me at all.
S Laske

2021-04-14T01:49:01.114Z

I HAD always enjoyed seeing just how many miles I walk at work with this app, which has come preinstalled on several of my phones. BUT... now after many years you want access to my camera, contacts, turn off and on my bluetooth, access phone calls in and out, etc.!!!!....NO NEED FOR SUCH AN INVASION OF PRIVACY!!! MY FIRST REVIEW EVER AND SO DISAPPOINTING THAT I COULDN'T GIVE ZERO STARS!!! NEXT PHONE WON'T BE SAMSUNG!!! DELETING!!!
Aleksandar Simeonov

2021-04-13T02:50:28.277Z

No possibility to sync steps between other apps and Samsung health. On the other hand Samsung allowes cheating and letting people have 1.5 million steps in 15 days. Very disappointing. EDIT: This application just become even worse (yes, that is also possible), not only missing support for synchronizing steps, but now it asks promission to make phone calls. Why application for tracking sport need to call someone? For that I use phone app, not health app. What will be next?
Todd Larudee

2021-04-12T14:37:30.549Z

I have used this app for over 5 years and now it wants access to my phone call data???? Even if it stays within the app which I doubt, I think we are due more detailed explanation of why this kind of access is specifically required now. Lame, I will not use until they update to remove this permission I have been waiting for an excuse to stop using this app and use a pro excercise app anyways, goodbye Samsung bloatware.
Darla Kilpatrick

2021-04-10T22:07:38.313Z

I have used this app for several years, I can no longer use it because I won't give it permission to control my phone calls. Why in the world does a health app need to control my phone calls? Giving a 1 star, it was required to leave a review. Looks like it's time to find a new health app..😁 Edit- Dear Samsung, just because you're saying it's not being used, doesn't mean I believe it. I will not be using your app as long as it requires permission to control my phone calls! Sorry, not sorry!
M Ray

2021-04-09T04:28:28.331Z

Ads ads and more ads. Now requiring two-factor which is enabled via SMS which means no limited protection if at all. And of course it's faulty. Had to let the code expire to generate a new one before it was accepted. No new features. No new functions. Just making it harder to use.
Dominic

2021-04-11T18:42:50.227Z

Permissions required: none. "To use this feature, you need to allow permissions in settings." Um...those two things don't go together. The latest update essentially bricks the app unless calls permission is enabled and therefore by extention renders any samsung smart watch useless. Fix it! P.S. Don't reply with 'you can contact us via the Contact Us Menu: Samsung Health > Settings > Contact Us.', I can't contact you, I can't access the app!
Stephen Scott

2021-04-11T19:51:11.274Z

New update will not function unless you give it access to calls. Fix this Samsung. Response to developer update- The user experience is not optimal since I can't use the app without granting access, which it did not previously need. That means the user experience is non existent - zero. Fix the app so we are not required to grant permissions to features users do not wish to use.
Sheena Perry

2021-04-13T19:25:30.571Z

A fitness app doesn't need access to my phone to make or record calls to track the things that it does. There is no clear explanation anywhere on why and the replies to the reviews aren't answers but to call a number to get answers. Where people will need to sit on the phone for a long time to get to someone to read a sentence or two of nothing that doesn't explain anything.

After the update with 2fa request, it is impossible to open the app, 2fa token can't be validated, and without 2fa a strange error. Horrible experience. update: could not open the app, so contact us menu was not an option. I live in Europe. But after trying several times, again and again, finally the validate 2fa token was no longer grayed out. Please add a support link on the 2fa page and make it more robust.

Very frustrated since the last update. Cant access until I accept new terms. I did, but also have to change access settings. Tried doing that. No idea what settings they are talking about. Stuck in endless loop. It used to be a pretty good app. I cant access any of my health tracking at this point.

I like the app, but starting on March 12, 2021 my sleep isn't tracking from my Galaxy watch anymore. I now have to look at my watch to see when I slept and manually enter it into my phone. It still tracks everything else from my watch (heart rate, exercise, etc) just not sleep. I called the number you provided on other posts, but nothing we did helped. I would really like my sleep to communicate to my phone again. I find this feature very useful. *Update* on 4/8/2021 seems to have fixed issue 😊

Unless they rollback the update it so people can use it without allowing access to calls and contacts that app is very invasive. I don't know what features and optimal experience they are implementing that needs access to calls. Regardless a user should have the option to use the app without those "optimizations" and protect their privacy. The "my way or the highway" approach of this app is disturbing and feels like blackmail. Everyone needs show them how unacceptable this is by uninstalling!

2021-04-14T04:21:42.270Z

Used for ages. Now Samsung wants to demand ridiculous and invasive permissions. Access ALL files and phone, ummm no. Plus, my watch is now pretty much useless. Why do you need to spy on your customers? It's creepy. Your explanation is absurd. If it was in any way sufficient, there would not have been additional complaints. You don't need access to our phone or files to track meals, weight or exercise. This is overreach.

My latest feedback is that I will give 1 star instead of 2 as I did before. Why a health application refuses to open unless I give permission to the app to.manage my phone calls? My feedback in March 2020 said that some features got lost. If we look the pattern, this app over time is losing features and starts to dominate device asking definitely unneeded access and makes significant load to the device (Xiaomi). Now, my Galaxy watch becomes absolute. Was that point of Samsung?
Silvia Milanova

2021-04-10T15:37:48.673Z

This app is now GARBAGE. It updated itself, and I couldn't use the app at all w/o setting up 2F authentication - no customer notice, no recourse to set it up later. Supposedly to protect my data. 2FA is horribly buggy so it would not recognise the Sms code, I had to go around in circles for 2 HOURS on my phone and computer! Whoever is heading this apps development, FIRE them now. I will never buy Samsung ever again. You ruined one of the few Samsung apps I was actually using everyday.
THINK! Creative

2021-04-13T04:40:36.374Z

This WAS a great app, until Samsung decided they need more access to your privacy. Too many proprietary apps want to much control, this will be a big mistake and Samsung users will suffer first, then Samsung will lose more customers. If major electronics corporations can't figure out people do not want them intruding in every aspect their lives, I guess the day Samsung stocks tanks for invasion of privacy, they will know why.

Honestly started taking care of my health and this has been really helpful. I like that the food has the brands and just basics incase you can't find the brand. Although I would ask you remove the women's health part on the menstrual cycle. It would be more inclusive to just menstrual cycle tracker or maybe feminine health to be more inclusive of trans people
Human Being

2021-04-14T01:12:27.544Z

Yeah, really enjoyed the app until the last update. Now you're asking for way too much personal info and control. Not happening. You don't get to know what shows I'm watching or access to my phone and phone calls. Unnecessary to managing my health. Plus you're sharing my info around to entities unknown to me. Hard nope.
Bradley Roberts

2021-04-12T20:29:58.533Z

I really love this app. I've been using it for years and it's my favourite all in one health app and I have to commend the developers for that. However I'm giving it a 3 star rating in hopes one of my complaints is heard. EVERY SINGLE time I use the new fitness program features. The workout stops midway or bugs out or my Galaxy watch active disconnects and I'd love for that to be patched as I have a rewards program on my medical aid and the inconsistent data tracking doesn't help.
Donovan Pete

2021-04-12T15:34:18.851Z

It was a decent app until it asked for more permissions especially making calls and looking through your contacts. Time to say goodbye to the bloatware on this phone. Developer says, "implementing and providing an optimal experience" yet they do not answer why it's necessary to have permissions to your calls and contacts.

2021-04-13T10:19:20.378Z

Forces you to create samsung account, asks for many unnecessary info, then you cant login. I verify my phone number (not sure why i even need to do this) then i get an error message and cant login and i am stuck there. 00000 stars. If you force people to create accounts to use their info for ads and other moneymaking stuff for you at least make sure it works. 0 stars!
Diana Weatherman

2021-04-13T22:08:33.715Z

I as well have been using this app to measure my daily walks and now all of a sudden it is not allowing me! Very disappointed, it keeps telling me I need to log into my samsung account!! Why do I need a samsung acct now when I've had the same phone for more than 5 yrs and the Health App was on it, working just fine???
Danielle

2021-04-10T01:24:34.115Z

There's absolutely ZERO reason this app needs to make and answer calls, ZERO. So I will not be using this anymore, I'll find something trustworthy! To be honest, you owe all these good people who asked about needing these permissions; when there really isn't need for it, a REAL answer, a REAL reason besides your cookie cutter response, or a generic explanation of "to access all features". No one should have to call a stupid number, maybe you should put in the description EXACTLY why. Fix it!!
Mi Go

2021-04-12T16:55:34.570Z

Previously the app was functional without a lot of unnecessary overhead. However, at some point, it became necessary to manage phone calls before being able to use (no explanation given). Until this is explained or made optional, the usefulness is not worth it.
Dorothy Smith

2021-04-13T13:52:19.468Z

The new sleep data is a crook it gives you nothing no stages of anything, not pleased at all. I want it back to the way it was. I called 7 times and no one could figure it out, but I fixed it myself anyone having trouble should reset your watch. That fixed it for me
George Maurer

2021-04-09T23:36:54.520Z

I used to like this app but after the last update, I plan to delete it. They don't need access to my contact list to operate properly and they sure as hell don't need to use my phone to make calls. To put it mildly, these features really piss me off. You have plenty of people willing to accommodate your whims. You don't need me.
Denise van Riet

2021-04-11T08:22:36.470Z

I used to LOVE the app. Used it daily but since the new policy update, it won't open past the "continue" screen. I don't want to reload the app or clear data as I have years worth of weight, steps, heart rate, etc that I would lose! Hope they get this fixed soon or I will be looking for another app!
Billy Arndt

2021-04-13T11:10:56.483Z

This app gets worse with each and every update. It took away weight management last August, and now can not log in without giving unnecessary personal information. It's useless to me now and has downgraded to the point that there are many other better apps to use instead. It is a shame because I used to love this app.
Aaron Cabelli

2021-04-11T03:16:59.156Z

I've used this app for years. Now it wants phone permissions before I can continue using it again. Guess I'm not using it until this is no longer a required permission. I realize this is needed for CERTAIN functionality, but it shouldn't stop me from using basic features like step counting reviews. The way the app is designed right now doesn't let your continue at all. Disappointing
Ll_fl Fl

2021-04-10T08:43:38.571Z

New changes just ruined the app. Updates on 2018 changed interface for a lot worse. And this update just removed key functionality. Any app can track steps and that is the only usable function. Food tracker was the best on the market, with a nutritional score which was genius and so effective in improving food habits. Why it was dropped and changed to below basic food tracker? Make it paid for and improve , why remove something so advanced ?Very disappointed and now looking for a new all in app
Elisa Auckly

2021-04-13T20:02:56.897Z

Too bad this app now requires phone and contact access. There is no reason to make these required permissions. Edit after response: No, there is no reason to force camera and contacts permissions in order to just use the app. There are absolutely no functions, features, or user experiences that should require invasive permissions. Period.
Andres

2021-04-12T09:08:41.134Z

WARNING: Last update forces you to give camera, calls, location and all other permissions to even access the app. You either give them full access to your phone and accept their privacy policy (where they clearly state they can share your data with "partners"; read it) or the app won't start.
Tanya Seifried

2021-04-12T12:51:55.452Z

I accidentally deleted my previous review. The app now has cycle tracking AND we can set up our own wake up and bedtime goals. This is amazing! The app is almost perfect. It would be nice if there were more sexual health options available. For instance, I'd like to be able to mark when I have had sex. There are likely LGBTQ health initiatives that could be included. Also, syncing up with a mental health app would be cool.

The latest update to enable 2 step verification is not working. Does not allow me to acces the app unless it is setup and the setup does not complete as the verify button is disable after entering the code. Please have this fixed at the earliest. I can contact you via the app if it opens. It does not allow me to do anything apart from accepting the terms and enable 2FA. If I go back, it closes the app. Please let me know what are the other options to contact you?
A Google user

2021-04-09T04:07:08.672Z

For about 6 months in early 2020 the app would stop tracking workouts when the phone screen turned off. The problem seems to have been fixed now and the app has been working well again. I like the simplicity and clarity in the way it's laid out and can recommend it again.
Burak Özhan

2021-04-13T07:07:12.961Z

Update: Now even requires I enter my Phone number and won't even show me my old data! You don't need my Phone number to track my weight. Deleting this app. Old review: The new widget looks soo ugly. The text is too small and that orange Heartbeat symbol sticks out way too much from my regular home screen design. Also too much empty space. Please give us back the old widget. At least as an option!
Richard Rayner

2021-04-13T21:06:44.190Z

There is no need for access to make calls. This is a fitness app not a phone calling app. This permission is not necessary and opens opportunities for security risks. Was a good app but good features were slowly being eroded. The developers cannot give any good reason on why it needs access to make calls especially when other apps that do the same do not need it. If this is not changed I will have no option but to uninstall and delete all my data with Samsung.
Viliam-Robert Kato

2021-04-13T09:48:50.507Z

Nice app for keeping track of everything. I deducted a star since in all the events you allow cheaters to participate and I saw no measures taken in order to correct this. I appreciate the reply but some people got more then 1000 steps per hour 24 out of 24 dosen't raise a problem? Is it that hard to make a check ( if more then 1500 steps in a hour remove from challenge ) and see if it is physically possible to do so many steps?
Kenny Gull

2021-04-10T03:32:13.920Z

I wish I could give this zero stars! I used to love this app but the new update makes you set up a 2 step verification that doesn't work. It keeps going around in circles and not letting me even set it up or get on the app to use it. This app went from great to garbage!
Sean H

2021-04-13T10:06:12.727Z

Whoever heads up development at Samsung Health needs to be replaced as they are clearly incompetent. Graphs/charts are far too small, 2-step verification & intrusive app permissions have now been inflicted on us, large banner ads, general UI layout is awful, data is presented poorly and not immediately accessible, other metrics should be included (but aren't) and features are being arbitrarily removed. The app is being dumbed down & I've spent too much money on Samsung's watches for this.
Dan Coleman

2021-04-13T12:07:25.782Z

04 2021 update is just spyware, once installed if you don't accept the new terms you lose access. Unfortunately BP app summarises its data and the setting can not be changed which makes it almost useless remaining apps are not accurate. If had an idea how useless Samsung developers were when I first started purchasing I would not have bothered. Better off with a Fitbit
Cindy Miles

2021-04-12T23:55:23.933Z

Loved this app but HATE the new update. Can't open the app at all unless I set up a two step verification!! Seriously!?! I don't want to have to receive a text and enter a code every time I want to log my blood pressure or how much water I drank etc.... I'm deleting this app and going back to a simpler BP app
Kristin Fintel

2021-04-10T05:28:52.991Z

An update where it asks permission to make and receive phone calls, with no explanation and won't work unless I agree? Very 2010 of you, Samsung. No thanks. And please don't bother to tell me to use the app to contact you. I can't get into the app because I won't give permission. I'm contacting you this way.
Krystal Climan

2021-04-10T13:15:32.138Z

I have used this app on non-samsung phones for years. lost weight and was staying healthy. last up date demanded two step security and now I cannot get into the app even after reseting password and logging in from my laptop to fix it. Says I need Samsung account login which I cannot get on non-samsung phone. UPDATE: Tried developer directions and still the app will not allow a sign in. after agreeing it says Samsung Account session expired. sign in to Samsung account again which I cannot get on a NON-Samsung device.
Sue Thomas

2021-04-13T19:24:25.231Z

What has happened? I can't get into my app suddenly. Keeps saying something about settings. Help! I use this every day! Update.. I had to reinstall after which it showed me the interface it had failed to show before. Seemed to have trouble loading it but now it's working again.
Capricorn Stars

2021-04-11T04:01:29.520Z

I do not like that I am forced to sign up with an email, I do not like that even after I signed up they require my phone number and text verification, and after all of that bull, I absolutely despise having to agree for them to only open the app if I "agree to let them make and manage my phone calls"?! Wth. This app use to be awesome. I didn't have to sign up to open it, it was just with my phone when I got it. I am deleting this app and never using it again unless they change it back to simple.
David Haskett

2021-04-13T23:44:26.338Z

I have used this app for at least 10 years. Just replaced my Samsung phone with another Samsung mainly because I liked Samsung health. The new upgrade wants control of my calls and access to contacts and I cannot open the app unless I agree. I uninstalled the app and tried again. Still I have to give the app control of my calls which I will not do.
Ado Q

2021-04-13T15:45:14.154Z

App works as expected. However, the ads are incredibly intrusive and obnoxious. They take up a large portion of the screen, and are hidden only after you scroll down past the ad. After paying hundreds of dollars for a watch, this is something that's a slap in the face.
Alan Warnock

2021-04-09T08:53:16.274Z

Last update added 2FA. Won't let me proceed with or without it. Keeps spinning when trying to access account with no 2FA, and with 2FA, I get the code and enter it, but the verify button won't proceed. I don't want to use 2FA as it makes your account less secure as it is too easy for someone to hack you by porting your phone number. If not sorted soon I will delete my Samsung account, as the data is Not yours to demand how I access it.
Dave Banks

2021-04-10T09:08:27.815Z

The app is really useful and well designed. I find the measurement features very helpful. I was slightly disappointed that it now needs telephone permission before allowing access. I have been assured this is purely internal to the application and data will not be shared in any way so am upping my rating.
d l

2021-04-13T00:25:10.145Z

I've used the app for years. New update requires access to mic and the apps ability to make phone calls. That's a deal breaker for me. FYI, if you own a galaxy watch. It is heavily tied to Samsung health.
Mike Arebalo

2021-04-14T00:40:47.270Z

Wish i could set time parameters for taking my steps. I mainly use the tracker at work where i work an overnight shift. It would be great if i could set it for something like 6pm to 6pm instead of having to split out my steps midnight to midnight. I like the interface but i want freedom to set parameters.
Stephen McGuire

2021-04-13T23:13:26.499Z

Was perfectly fine app for several years, sorry didn't review then. I won't be allowing app to make and receive phone calls, body sensor access is all that should be required for such a program. Please fix, will look for replacement as it's just a step counter widget now.
M T

2021-04-10T01:21:02.534Z

New update is garbage. Requires 2-step verification but doesn't let you submit the code to finish setting it up! Plus is 2-step really necessary? I don't think hackers give a damn about my steps or weight. Now to find a better app. Of course this one stops working mid steps challenge at work. Grrr.
Austin Denyer

2021-04-14T00:22:14.239Z

App was great until they made 2FA mandatory. App is worthless to me now. [Edit] I read the developer response. I know how to set up 2FA but for various reasons do not want this device doing SMS. What happens when I have no service? Run on a device with no SIM? Etc. Looking for a replacement app now, which sucks as this app was the primary reason I purchased Samsung phones, watches and tablets. If the replacement app is not Samsung then at least I can start buying cheaper hardware...
Harold Foos

2021-04-11T04:29:06.694Z

I don't understand why the Samsung Health app needs access to make calls or my contacts and camera to operate. I want the choice to use only the features I want. This is not an answer to my question. Why is access needed to make calls, contacts and camera, specifically!
Jenn Libby

2021-04-14T03:54:24.125Z

I'm also feeling disappointed by the way the app wants to make and manage my calls, give us the option to opt out of that aspect of your app, not all of us want to use it to connect with friends, you provided me with motivation for years but now I'm going to uninstall it :(
Saul Garcia

2021-04-13T18:48:26.483Z

Sadly uninstalling this. There is absolutely no reason why it needs permission to make calls. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Worked only for a day, then back to trying to force me to allow those permissions. Otherwise, this was my go to app.
Hera Olympus

2021-04-10T08:49:10.106Z

This was a fantastic app which I used daily but after the latest update I will not be using again. Why would you need access to my calls, contacts, files, etc? There is no need for these recent permissions. Please remove these permissions so we can return to using your app with trust.

2021-04-12T20:51:56.123Z

Samsung i am completly un happy with you new 2 step identification process. My 250 dollar samsung gear fit2 pro health and fitness program really? To top it off the process requires access to my contacts and photos. WHY the app is required for my fitness watch that is listed within my samsung account. THANKS SAMSUNG this extra step should be unnessary. Joe The watch listed above is mt 3rd upgrade to this watch. All have been attached to my samsung account for many years. So how is it now it need
Riaz Khanmohamed

2021-04-13T20:41:56.736Z

To anyone having issues since the recent update, clear cache won't work, you need to uninstall and reinstall (I found this out the hard way), Devs please fix this. Also you can remove phone permission after finishing setup but it's mandatory before (Devs fix this too it's a ridiculous requirement)
Martin Hughes

2021-04-11T14:15:42.255Z

This was a good app however rating now downgraded as it will no longer be used due to it now expecting access to phone calls. I've only ever used it to monitor the occasional walks and my sleep patterns. What a shame as this now makes my Samsung watch rather redundant too.
Yelena Zhovnikova

2021-04-12T20:39:15.633Z

Hi, I can't access the app today. I requires me to sign in into Samsung account after agreeing to the new privacy note, but there is no place to sign in... Shall I uninstall it and install again? Also, it's totally incomprehensible why the app needs access to my calls? Some other questions: - why doesn't the list of workouts in the app and in the watch (Samsung Gear Fit) match? E.g. there's no crosscountry skiing in the watch. - why doesn't app calculate steps etc. in a non-Samsung phone?
Vlada

2021-04-13T04:58:07.832Z

Everything was pretty ok till this update. My sleep tracker is bugging with recording time, can't insert it manually, can't record it from my Fit 2, can't press OK on app's predicted sleeping time... I mean what's going on with the things that worked just normally, whay do you have to ruin it with every update?
William Hahn

2021-04-09T17:15:03.380Z

Too many ads. A banner telling me that I can save up to $700 on a trade-in on a new phone is in fact, an ad. The description of the app confirms that there are ads "placed by the developer" The latest update requires phone permissions?! Why does this app require this?
C H Biggs

2021-04-09T23:04:07.959Z

Was a good app. Latest update wants access to way too much personal information. NO, I will not reach out to them, as they have been requesting, to hear why they would want access to my Contacts List...
Finn M

2021-04-14T03:16:48.338Z

Previously neutral experience, new update (as others have noted) forces 2 Factor Authentication. Forcing this is not a good step at all. Further, forcing approval of managing contacts and ability to make calls? No, thank you. Will be uninstalling this app after this review.
Iain BullieMad Nicholson

2021-04-14T05:29:24.247Z

Update, been fixed and all good, now, back to loving the app, Don't like the update, it doesn't tell you how many grams of stuff you have ie carbs, fat, protein etc just the % don't like it now, may have to look for another app!!
Andrew Campbell

2021-04-13T15:41:49.840Z

Permission Creep - now won't start without phone permission. I don't use, nor wish to ever use the "feature" Samsung allegedly requires this for. I just want to see my own data...not share it. While Samsung may have totally honorable intentions...hacking and breaches are all over the news. Better to not enable permissions needlessly. Let the user decide what feature/risk profile is right for them.
Amanda Pratt

2021-04-12T16:31:19.534Z

I have used this app for years but I don't want to give the app phone permission. It was never required before so I don't see why it is suddenly necessary for me to grant phone permission to even open the app. I don't intend to use whatever feature you need the phone call permission for so why should i be required to grant that permission. I will be uninstalling this unless you either take that permission out or make it so I can still use the rest of the app without granting phone permission.
LaPhroaigZed

2021-04-12T16:44:36.722Z

I used this app to track calories, sleep, and caffeine. After an update lost the caffeine tracker and got ads. Now the app wants to manage my calls when it was working decently before. New permissions means it is gathering more info it really doesn't need.
Roman S

2021-04-13T16:17:04.930Z

Using this app for many years, but last update blocked half of the functionality, just because I don't want to upload my contacts, and I suspect the app already made it without my permission, it's really suspicious behavior.
Lori Stenberg

2021-04-13T01:25:07.914Z

I would give less if it was possible. Been trying for over 30 minutes to enter verification code and it won't accept it. It does nothing but let the time run out. Can't use my Samsung watch to track my walking.
mitzi richmond

2021-04-14T02:18:40.857Z

I hate this new health app requirement to allow contacts and phone. Yes you can go in and disable synch but it will take the ones before that. Samsung, you have lost my loyalty. Third Samsung phone and watch will be last. This new setting is ridiculous.
Morgan Horacek

2021-04-13T16:45:56.763Z

The inappropriate stuff has finally disappeared. Thank you. It would be really helpful if you could scan food items to fund them quickly and also a place to add the grams per serving when you add food not found.
Josh Marshall

2021-04-13T07:47:04.850Z

Why is there no option for kilojoules over kcal. Massive oversight, you have options to change units for every other measurement but no option for the SI unit of energy!? Am I missing something or is this really the case?
Glenn Shepherd

2021-04-14T02:00:49.734Z

I used to love this app, it had everything I needed in an easy to access app. Now you are enforcing 2 step verification, I can't access the app without setting it up "to protect my health data". Yeah because someone needs to hack my data to find out that I'm fat, they can't tell that just by looking at me. I refuse to set up 2 step verification on this app and you can shove it where the sun doesn't shine until you remove this forced feature. Why???
Loren Miller

2021-04-13T22:22:13.380Z

Since the Samsung health app implemented two step verification, I am unable to log into the app and I cannot access my data. This app is in desperate need of a complete rework, if it's going to serve me. Right now it is completely unusable.
Andrew Taylor

2021-04-13T15:50:31.299Z

I loved using this app. But with the update they require make and receive calls. I do not think this app needs access to make calls. I can no longer use app from blocking this option. 😒 I guess it is time to start looking for a new app to use.
J B

2021-04-13T17:31:53.989Z

With the new update, I can't even sign in anymore! It gets stuck in 2FA screen. I uninstalled and reinstalled because it got stuck in sign in screen. Now I can't use it at all. This is super lame.

It was working nicely along with my gear active watch, but over the weekend it updated, and now showing I'm burning like 8 thousand calories a day, and not correctly adding my GPS mileage. So super bummed out, I was really starting to like the app and watch. Update: working great with the watch active 2 now.

Was a great app. Now it is a bully. It refuses to work unless I give it permission to access my contacts. Others may want be social and challenge each other but I DON'T want to share my health info. I DON'T want to be linked to numbers on my phone.

After the latest update they require 2 steps authentication, but they fail to send the code via SMS. I cannot use the app anymore. Samsung, you are just awful. I now have a health monitor device from you that you made useless. DO NOT recommend.

New update won't let me open the app without allowing phone call permissions, which are not actually a required permission as per product details. The only way to contact the developer is through the app, which I can't do because it won't open until I allow the permissions which are not required.

I used to enjoy it until some features were removed - stress, oxymeter, and weight management. Even the pulse is no longer responding. All the same it is a great app for logging my calorie intake, I wish this can be done offline.

App was okay but a bit clunky at times. New privacy notice came out and it now has to make and manage phone calls to be used. Why the hell does it need to do this? You had a usable app and you have to collect more data?

The experience after this new update is dreadful, i don't want to give samsung access to my contacts,why am i forced to? Without which i am not even able to login to my account. Application was better before this recent update.!

You updated your privacy, now you want to make and deny my phone calls before I can use the app that I've used to 3 years. Cya remove Update: now you have made changes to your agreement, no long says accept or deny phone calls. But when you dig deeper it does say something about phone and contacts. I can't trust the app any longer and will deleted it. You ruined it!

Unable to use the app now unless you give it permission to make phone calls. Unacceptable. (If you say no the allow phone calls permission, you cannot proceed past the Continue option to view terms and conditions)

Why would I need 2 step verification for a health app.. so stupid. What are people going to find out, how many steps I've done today?! oh dear. Why does this app get more annoying and less user friendly with every update. It's not even a choice either it forces you to use it. Then when you do it, it says you need to change your password THEN it logs you out and says your credentials are wrong, and doesn't let you log in again! Yikes. I just want to count my steps, why you gotta make it so hard.

Loved it until you wanted access to my phone and to make calls. I read it was for something/feature in your app that I will not be using. 🙄 So sorry I "updated" the app!! ☹ I want the old version back!!

This app was the best weight tracking app out there, until the March 2021 update, which made the app pointless. Samsung listened to the dissent of users and brought the full functioning back... Better than before! Definitely 5 stars.

Incorrect permissions stated: Lie Phone permission listed as optional: it is required or app won't start! Started only required for 'Together' feature. If so then start app and disable this feature if no permission. No excuse for this it is technically simple to implement. Reporting lie to Google for breach of store terms.

I use this app daily but with every update the changes are continually making it worse and less user friendly. Wish I could revert back to an older version. Now I guess I have to look for an alternative since it's just blocked my access altogether.

This app at one point helped me keep track of my steps and other goals I had around my person health. Sadly, the app now wants access to my phone and contacts. I will not be using this app again until this is resolved.

2 step verification process is broken. Can't log in, because it doesn't allow me to verify the verification code. Can't use the app any longer. Loved the app until this last update.

Well after the update I can no longer use this app. I sign in to my account on chrome but when I open the app is says . Samsung account session expired. Please login to your account. Well I log in and keep it open and start app, same thing.

The new update with the two step verification nearly destroyed the app for me, it wouldn't let me log in had to delete and install the app again so the login page would come up. I could have lost all my health data I'm not happy with the new update

2021-04-14T02:01:07.687Z

It's a fine health app but a 3 star for me because in the most recent update the app wants access to the phone to make and receive calls, which seems quite unnecessary and is not mentioned in their referenced privacy guidelines.

Love it. I am a regular user and with a galaxy watch things go full circle. I am appreciative of all the health options along with exercises in the app. Keeps me busy. Kudos to samsung.

The app was working perfectly till now but after it's new update it stopped working, is not even accepting the otp I'm entering. I re installed the app and still it's not working, i also forced stopped it and still no response. Too disappointed

I just tried to use the Samsung health and it says that the privacy notice has been updated but now it won't let me agree to it and it says that i need to allow it in setting but when I go to settings, it says that I already have it allowed. This sucks because I've used Samsung health for a long time
Israel Jernigan

2021-04-12T23:26:46.909Z

With the latest update it looks as if I'm being aske to let a health app access my phone calls, and I can't get past setting up 2FA without errors. Not sure what's going on or if they just think people are going to hand over their data? Anyone know how to get the app working without handing over my.phone calls?
Jeremias Almeida Santos

2021-04-13T09:44:59.950Z

Why this app need access to contacts and manage calls? Since today it was okay, after last update unreasonable changes haver been done and now app requires access to personal data that is not relevant in any way for the main purpose of the app.
Nick Plunkett

2021-04-11T23:02:41.252Z

It was a great app. Now the new update requires two step verification and access to phone calls/camera for a fitness tracking app?!? Keep getting error messages at every step as well. Completely broken now

Samsung fixed it. Thank you. Since I now have a Note 20 this feature isn't available. I would like to see blood oxygen on the Active watch series. It is importance in sports and workout tracking.

2021-04-07T09:03:00.940Z

I used this app every day for a long time it was definitely the best fitness app out there but The new update is terrible, i Wouldn't even give it 1 star now! In order to use this app it now needs permission to my contacts & camera! Why? I'm very uncomfortable with this so I'm Uninstalling & won't be using it again.

2021-04-13T10:18:23.794Z

Updated app to current version and upon opening it asks for phone permissions. The buttons cannot be pressed so cannot neither agree or disagree and thus cannot use any app properly right now, including this one since this started happening. Please fix
Eric Larouche

2021-04-12T12:41:28.135Z

I used this app for more than a year to mesure my sleeping, steps, workout.... You now ask for my contacts, making calls... Plus the 2 step verification mandatory to open the app..... What's wrong with you? Why are you breaking an app that was working PERFECTLY? P.S.: Thanks for your quick answer but asking me to call you regarding my concerns is useless since I mentioned what are the issues with your app. Also note that many peoples are complaining about the same issues.
Darren Poncelet

2021-04-10T02:08:16.556Z

Latest update is terrible. MFA does not work. I get a text with the verification code and enter it but the app won't accept it and takes me back to the 2 step verification screen.
Pam Simpers

2021-04-13T15:13:02.528Z

With latest update it wanted access to my phone calls which I of course denied, now it no longer works. To bad, it may not of been a fancy program, but it did all I wanted for.

2021-04-12T12:36:16.564Z

Latest release removed a lot of functionality. Where is weight management and the caffeine managed item?!?! This app is worst now. The 2 step authentication doesnt work with the latest version. This app has gone way down hill. Roll back to the early 2020 version.
Sachin Ghulyani

2021-04-13T17:21:17.432Z

With the latest version, the app needs permission to make calls and upload my contacts. There is no way to access the TOGETHER section without uploading my contacts. Sorry, am not doing that!
J Wiesen

2021-04-13T16:09:20.217Z

I used to use this app all the time but since I won't give access to my phone calls... why did SH need access to my phone calls?!?!...I can no longer access the app! What BS!!
Mike Zelensky

2021-04-13T18:16:11.770Z

Nice app, but now needs access to make phone calls (why would it need to do that??). I will not grant that, so I can't use it anymore. A shame since I've used it for several years now.
Daniel Mahlakola

2021-04-13T04:41:55.675Z

Your update for 2 step verification is not working. If you click not Now it crashes. If you try setup 2 step verification it doesn't continue after you have entered the verification code. It just stuck so I can't use the App until this is fixed

Had to drop this by one star. Just started a challenge and I realized that some accounts are fake. How can someone have completed 200,000 steps in one day and have it say they haven't had any steps today and it's only day 1? Edit: the claim that measures are in place to curb cheating is a fallacy. Dropped another star for blatant dishonesty. It's not difficult just set a daily cap on steps based on what's humanly possible and ban accounts consistently trying to consistently post more than that
Lisa Ewasiuk

2021-04-12T23:34:43.860Z

After the most recent update I cannot look at my challenges without syncing my contact list on my phone??? VERY DISSAPOINTED Edit: after their response, I put it to one star and emailed them. THERE IS NO REASON TO NEED ACCESS TO MY CONTACT LIST FOR ME TO PARTICIPATE IN CHALLENGES.
Raul Cancel

Love this app, need to add more excercises to track or have an option where you can type the exercise done if not on the list. Another thing, bring back taking blood pressure with phone sensor.
