Microsoft Band App Reviews

A beautiful app really I love the microsoft band but please put it compatible with the Apple Health app itll be so perfect so please put it COMPATIBLE WITH THE APPLE HEALTH KIT!!!!!!

1. Cant read data from Apple Health 2. Authorization problems, auto logout This app is called "Health", not a "Band companion", so integrate it with other services, not only your own band. Let me import data from HealthVault!!!

First of all, Ive had both generations of the band. That being said, from the beginning I thought that the simplicity and ease of use for workouts is phenomenal. I find it odd to see so many people complaining about sync issues. Ive never had much of an issue on that end.

Solid app and is always getting an update about once every two months. Syncing is the only complaint... Sometimes have to manually sync by hitting the refresh button. Wish they had a diagnostic on your band to make sure everything is working properly.

I like the app in the past, but the current version is kind of a pile... it wont sync properly or easily. Requiring to force close the app to get it to sync. I love the MS Band2 I have, but the app is letting me down at this point. An update should be soon it seems...

Works great and Microsoft constantly adds features to make the app even more useful than it already is.

Band is not the most accurate device for measuring things like elliptical workouts. It under reports the distance walked and doesnt even let you edit workout data!

The number of steps on the app doesnt match what my watch says. Ive tried restarting and reinstalling the app. Fix it! Also add horizontal orientation for the watch so I can read it sideways on my wrist. Desperately needs this.

I am running this app on an IPhone SE and it takes more than 5 minutes to sync. If I didnt need it to get information from my MS Band 2 (which I love) I wouldnt bother with it. Also it drains the battery very quickly so I have to close it whenever I dont need it or my battery wont last a day.

The data collected by the band is displayed with clarity and easy to browse. The golf add-on (free) is a fantastic way to track your game (swings, distance, scores etc). This itself is worth the cost of the band!

App gets confused with lb and kg entry, thinks I complete my calorie goal every day at 3 pm, reports wrong information to myfitnessPal . Basically cannot the Band cannot be used for my intended purpose at this time , severely disappointed here X(

You lost a customer microsoft returning my band today

Comparing Fitbit app to MS Health app, I find MS Health far better and offer lots of statistics.

Love my band lots of data app ecosystem seems cool, unfortunately the health app is a little cumbersome and slow

So I have a Band 2, and Microsoft Expects me to only to use their health app. Well Microsoft doesnt make an integrated Digital Scale or Heart Rate monitor. I track this stuff and Withings app is more robust and flexible. I expect my band to share data with this app

Pros 1. Amazing and clean UI with ability to customize the tiles 2. Integration with Facebook brings it closer to apps like FitBit but due to less customers still lags the competitive edge Cons 1. Takes significant time to sync data from band devices 2. The UX has only 1 color, it would be great if there were similar colors like the display for Band 2 3. There should be ability to modify or add wallpapers. This can be done using 3rd party apps but would be great if it was directly built into the app 4. Bring Cortana integration between Band and iOS devices

The updated workout tile no longer allows you to chose the type of workout you want to perform: strength, elliptical, stair master, etc.

I have a Microsoft band, which is no longer allowed to sync correctly. I use the watch on its own because even after six months of new updates no updates have offered to update the Microsoft band, it only updates Microsoft band 2...

-Lost syncing function entirely. App tries to update band (I have a MS Band 2) and then says it cannot find band. None of the advisements work and closest it gets is if you keep your band on AND unlocked, it will start to sync and make it to Step 2 (saving data) before outright freezing. If you minimize the app you get a notification background failure occurred. -Beyond this, syncing with LoseIt! was already awry/incomplete (I walked 8 miles the other day and yet said I only took 253 steps in LoseIt!). The syncing with MyFitnessPal isnt much better Ive since switched to using data from the iOS Health app even though I leave my phone sitting at times. -GPS functionality is inaccurate though this has always been a problem with the band itself. Ive only had my Band2 for 6 months so its disheartening that what worked beautifully right up until May is now essentially, a glorified glowing watch that requires me to pull out pen and paper to make use of any other data it has.

Every time I have an update or need to sync I have to reset my band to factory defaults. Always stuck on "saving stored data".
