Microsoft Band App Reviews

110 add

Dont Bother

For no apparent reason, the app requires you to periodically reset your password. As if you really need a password for this app anyway. The band is nearly impossible to read in sunlight. If you miss any notifications of any kind because you cant see them, theres no way to retrieve them to review. The band will not hold a charge through a full 24 hours, so be prepared to recharge at least 2 times per day. Maximum 1000 charges before this $200+ device dies for good.

The bad reviews arent accurate

No this app doesnt support healhkit integration, and thats 100% fine by me. Microsoft has done a fine job improving both this app and the band firmware, adding additional features. Ive had no sync issues in a long time and 3rd party integrations work fine. I am deducting 1 star because you cant turn off the "connect with friends" option that was added recently and the Microsoft Health app on other platforms have more features.

Please fix

Weight tracker crashes the app.

Love it

Maybe provide more flexibility in watch mode (rotations, faces)

Latest Update Killed the App

The latest update removed the app from my phone completely. I cant download it back on my phone Please fix this!

Integrate with HealthKit

It makes absolutely no sense to track all of your fitness data and have it be locked up inside this app. Integrate the data with the native iOS Healthkit hub.

Unstable update

This update is unstable and does not sync. Shows a blank screen after logging in. This is after the weight tracker app update.

New version issues

New version will not synch and will not let me into my account. Microsoft store tech no help.

Doesnt sync correct data

My calorie count on the app isnt the same as my band... Has been this way for a while, wont sync calories with my band. Please fix this so I can have accurate data

Does not update

Does not update as specified. Its set to update every 10 minute by default. Wont update unless you manually open the app.

Cant sync

Updated to the latest firmware and software. Reset the phone and band. It hangs in the middle of sync and never finishes. A complete waste of a lot of money.

Doesnt work

1) Get some actually good ideas for tiles 2) Last update wont allow access to app.

Great app. Works great.

App does what it says and more. Really innovative and nothing to complain about. Just hope the design and GUI get easier and more elegant over time. Id like to see the hamburger menu box be a little more transparent instead of a dark black box that slides out. That way it isnt just a black box. But a nice box thats tea sore t exposing the content behind it slightly.

Getting better, but still slow

There have been some recent improvements, including the ability to track your weight – but it still takes unbelievably long to synchronize with my Band 2. Please also add the ability to manually add activity. I swim, but obviously cant wear my Band in the pool so I need to be able to manually enter those activities.

Loving the app & the band by Microsoft.

Its better than the Apple Watch or any smartwatch in my opinion.... Go Microsoft!!! :)

App is awesome, Band is Gr8 for tracking activities.

I love the amount and variety of data that you can track. I also have an apple watch which i find very limited compared to my Band. Love it so far!!

Band 2 GPS broken with this update

My band 2, which I love, has had no GPS function since this update.

Excellent app and band2

The app reliably syncs in the background and the Microsoft Health portal provides vastly more insights than any other wearable. Notifications are more reliable than the Apple Watch. The only shortcoming is the data is not compatible with Apple HealthKit. However, there are apps on the store that allows data migration to HealthKit. Overall a better functional device than everything else. Apple Watch just looks better.

Great app and idea, missing key elements

I love the app, it tracks just about everything, I would be great if you can have text replies, even if just quick ones. The ability to track your sleep is awesome and its great to see how long your recovery would be after you exercise, its still slow to sync but in sure that can be fixed.

Bad

The app still doesnt sync to my watch!!!!!
