Does anyone find S Health useful?

[anon(5719825)]

OK. It's most probably either or then and not both.

Yes, the phones app is recording my steps from my watch so this is why I think it is not showing.

Just wish it would integrate and sync with MyFitnesspal

Integration is my one complaint. I use Mynetdiary, but I would switch to MFP if it synced. Or synced with polar, or runkeeper...Nike Run ONLY does running. That's alright though, it would just have been a little easier having it all in one place.

I don't know if I'm not doing this right or if I'm just missing some settings options

Well what are you trying to do? Are you using a watch with the phone?

I use it for the step counter I find it kind of fun to see how many steps I've done at the end of the day

I presume there is no way to show it on the lock screen?

My Note 4 would show the steps count through the S View window or on the lock screen if I didn't use that case. I don't see a way to display the steps on the lock screen on the S7 Edge.

Just as an Edge feed, one or the options shows the SHealth Steps.

I just wish I could integrate my Garmin with it.

I have noticed that the phone gives me more accurate steps count than both my Gear S2 and Gear S2 Classic, that's why I have it on the S Health Settings to show the Phone Count instead of the watches.

It seems that the Watch only counts when you move your arms enough for it to count it, while the phone on my pocket or hands seems to recognize the steps better.

Ah my mistake I misunderstood sorry about that, I'll try with the edge screen option

I'm trying to get this to display on a second S7 Edge that is not paired with a watch. Even though the option to show it is checked in the edge settings, I just don't see it on any edge panels.

Well, I won't be able to test it here because I'm using the S7 today, I left the edge at home. But from what I remember, I just selected that feed on the Edge Settings and once I turned it off and I activated the Feeds it showed, and was working with the S2 and without it until I turned the feeds off last week.

I was actually looking for this to be on one of the edge panels and not understanding how to get this to show up.

You simply rub a finger up and down one side of the edge and it will then show different things while the screen is still off such as steps.

I used it on my GS5 in conjunction with the Gear fit. It was OK, but didn't have the functionality that Fitbit or MS Health have currently.

Exactly, sorry I wasn't clear enough but I assumed you already knew about it and simply couldn't make this to show.

I use S health and compared to Google Fit it is a lot more accurate and is enough for my needs of walking every day and achieving distance targets and goals.

No, I hate it.

I only use it to access the heart rate monitor. I wish there where other apps that could use that sensor.

I am not an athlete or someone on a health kick. I don't need 99% of that it does. It just seems awkward to to what I want with it. Hate it on the Note 3 too.

Yes I finally got it myself and I discovered that while it's showing my steps the fingerprint scanner works from there and unlocks your phone

Pretty useful for me so I try to keep active.

 

[M Stuart]

I think it's nice. Of course it's not going to be dead on accurate, but to give a general idea of how active I'm being and to keep track of weight etc. it gets the job done. Actually thinking of getting the Gear S2 mainly because of SHealth if prices go down a bit further.

 

[cohoman]

Yes, I use the S-Health App on my Galaxy S6 everyday to track my weight and my stationary bike cycling time. I also use it to track my steps and mileage when I go on my weekend hikes. The app seems to work well for my needs.

 

[Danix180]

I use it as well connected to my Gear S2. It's better than Google Fit that I use to use in the past.
