The messaging in this app suggests faulty conclusions if it s being used for research purposes at Stanford here s an example I ve had a week of dealing with a respiratory infection and a resulting decrease in my usual exercise routine In addition I ve reported feeling less happy because of my illness so the app s coach sent a message alerting me to the fact that people who are more active than I are also happier than I That was NOT helpful There s no provision to note that I m less happy and less active because I m sick at the moment and the messaging from the coach suggests that I could improve that by being more active when actually I need to rest indoors for a period of time so that I can begin to feel happier again In addition I reported by blood pressure in my profile on one day and now I can t add any updated readings My profile is forever stuck with one BP reading on one day         Not great for research Nonawill

Can it be setup to read the sleep data from health I answer this question every day after looking up the data in the health app                     Read sleep data TheWoollyBully

The app is no doubt extremely useful but the screen layout on the iPhone X is atrocious The text is poorly formatted it uses only if the screen width and one has to wonder why the app haas been released without any quality control Most screens require scrolling for the Next button to be seen and what is worse the seems to freeze about 50 of the time A professional rewrite of the app is IMO urgently required for this project not to fail             This app is very useful but atrociously written Heinrich 34

Contains difficult enrollment instructions much arcane language     My Heart Spooner1

I wanted to participate in a medical study to help advance progress in wearable medical devices but I have been disappointed with this app I can t see where it uses my Apple Watch data and I did give it permission to everything and I have and Apple Watch 2 They should have invested more into this app to capture more accurate data If anyone knows how to turn it on other than what I already did please help If you are the developer please contact me     Does it even use my Apple Watch data 122345574747

The surveys use very little of the screen rendering in a narrow columnar format that is difficult to read Please update these for iPhone X         Terrible use of screen of iPhone X sleight42

It says I already have an account so I reset my password and when I try to login it says there is no account with that email That s frustrating The registration also doesn t let me go back so I ve had to reinstall the app several times     I can t login Duuuude1484256

Severe battery drain for background activity audio     Severe battery drain CTho9305

Super battery hog This app if left open will eat your battery horribly fast I would hope that participation in the study would not end just because I buy a new iPhone but the data doesn t carry over via iCloud All that info is just gone and that doesn t make any sense It happened a couple of months ago on a 7 Plus when I had to do a reset That s not good     Will not carry over information to a new iPhone silverhawk1

Altruistically I want very much to participate in this study but after trying it a second time I deleted it again iOS reported this app had used over 60 off my battery life over the past 24 hour and 7 days That s just not acceptable Sorry         Battery killer jzimdars

Since the last update this app has been HAMMERING the battery I turned off background refresh permissions and am waiting to see if that makes a difference If it does I won t leave the app and consequently the study If not then I will It s really unfortunate that the quality of this app is so poor     HUGE battery drain ttys0

You should be able to edit activity heart rate etc The app doesn t recognize any of my activity doesn t allow editing I have no idea how they plan to get an accurate study when the app doesn t collect the necessary data             Still hasn t improved Gr8ded1

It s easy to use and could provide data to allow improvement in healthcare Knowledge is power to make changes Everyone should help It s easy                     Data for the good guys Postacute4u

The battery life has gotten much worse under iOS 10 Why is this app using over 25 of my power in 15 hours just running in the back ground Why from one day to the next walking about he same number of steps is the percentage of activity so different One day 23 shows and the next day almost the same number of step it shows 12 May have to leave the program because of the battery issue         Killing battery activity do not match up CrusinClassic

Used 64 of my battery with 8 minutes on screen and 8 9 hours audio background according to Settings Battery usage stats Given that there s no reason for this app to have audio I m going to guess that they re tricking iOS into thinking audio is playing in order to keep the app open and active Very bad design     Burns battery usnhobbz

This app consumes my battery at an alarming rate I gave it a try under iOS 10 and now 11 with the same results It also doesn t seem to receive my Apple Watch data consistently Uninstalling for a second time         Battery hog Schuess60

I decided to participate in the study behind this app because of the history of heart issues in my family In the 2 weeks since I downloaded this app it has been the leading consumer of battery by quite a large amount The sad thing is I don t allow it to access my location services on the phone I have an Apple Watch and it still is a power hog I have no idea how to limit its Background activities I also find that the heart related activities provide no feedback You are asked to answer the same questions daily I can handle it for a week but I have no idea how long it lasts The activity that is supposed to summarize what the app has measured or pulled from measurements males no sense to me and doesn t match what I get from my watch or phone So assuming this is really doing something worthwhile be patient and don t expect to get much out of it I m afraid I am not going to keep it on my phone very much longer if it kills my battery since I get very little out of it     Battery hog no feedback not sure it is worth the hassle G_ChipT

Easy to use and hopefully provides potential warning signs for heart problems based upon many users and long term data tracking Probably half of the times I have no entry I simply forgot Would be helpful for accuracy of your data base if one could enter excel ISE 1 or 2 days later Connecting to genetic based data like 23andMe could provide even far greater insight into roles of genetics exercise medical history to provide better guidance to users Currently used tables for predictive heart issues seems very poor I cycle many weekend days Sat or Sun for 2 hours with an average HR of 126 127 and peak of 140 for 3 5 min 2or 3 times on hills so estimate I must be in the upper 2 3 maybe 1 in fitness for a 75 year old male and my life expediency seems less than average seems to make no sense to me It would also be great if you could connect into MapMyFitnss or any of their related Apps as I I think many users wear a HR Monitor I suspect max HR recovery time are better predictor of heart health than what you are measuring Would also be convenient if one could log exercise a day or two later as I sometimes forget to enter until the next day It s certainly easy to use I hope someday in the future you will post any publications of what you ve learned                     MyHeart Jimjr42

Would like to see better integration with the Apple Watch I should not have to carry my phone for it to know if I am sitting or standing Coaching seems to be giving the same idea over and over             Good but could be better Critter708

App is good even though I haven t used all the features yet One thing I would add to the app is the date when you put your sleep info I think I may be inputting duplicate sleep data                     Nice to have Disdaone

Would really help if fitbit connected to fitbit The myheart counts app apple frequently underrates my activity by 50 or so             Connectivity chrisbooks

Good research study                     Legit AnthillSreb

I ve had the app for 3 weeks now and I m not as impressed with the activity tracking aspect as I hoped Not once has it recorded light activity It s either sedentary or moderate vigorous That can t be right and definitely doesn t square with what health app activity on my Apple Watch or my Strava running activity shows Though I average nearly an hour workout run every day the app today informed me I needed to be more active It would also be nice to see how you compare to other users by age gender weight for more than just the 6 min walk test Hopefully the developers will address these issues because the better the app is at capturing the date the more useful it will be             Not bad but definitely some glitches Jm606

Great idea but doesn t tell you enough details I have a Fitbit but can t tell if data is used                 Needs more details Jimb51

Having used the app for over a year I am glad to be contributing data and appreciate the tracking since I do not have a Fitbit or Apple Watch Three main complaints 1 If I check in immediately after picking up my phone in the morning the 7 day assessment shows different values for the last 24 hours and yesterday when the only real difference is whether I was in bed from 12 to now yesterday or today My activity is the same It would also be nice if that report showed the total activity for the period selected rather than just for the week 2 The latest version has also been a serious battery hog using up to 74 of a charge Shutting it down after checking in works but this flaw needs fixing 3 Occasionally it does a cardiovascular risk assessment but offers no feedback on the factors raising the risk when reporting that it is high             Good Start Cimicifuga

I think this app has a lot of potential for heart disease but it needs some adjustments to gather all data For example I did a 93 minute workout and it didn t seem to claim any of it in my dashboard Says I have 43 minutes for the week and only light intensity My Apple Watch tells a different story with my heart rate Once the app is able to fully capture data it will be an awesome tool Also the six minute walk test doesn t allow for input off a treadmill and I haven t had any opportunity to walk out side due to cold weather and rain or ice lately             Good idea Cheapiegamer

I like that it easily synchronizes with my Fitbit I like the thought that my data can be used by researchers to help others Some functions did not seem to work for me until I got a new phone I still can t get the 6 minute walking test to record or recognize time or distance of the 6 minute walks though I like the articles that are in the news feed                     Helping others Circstar

I get Fitbit not syncing I m dropping them after my current band breaks Don t know where this is going but hope it helps And there are other exercises that would be good to add that aren t tracked besides those you lift e g Plank abs push ups maybe calesthentics                 Feels good to contribute Auggie's Man
