Microsoft Band App Reviews

Disappointed that the app doesnt sync with HealthKit. Given that Microsoft accessories is not supported by many OEMs , integrating with HealthKit would have been a much easier way for me to move my data from MS band to another 3rd party app that syncs with HealthKit. Layout of the app isnt the best one too.

Awesome app

I love you this app and it is very user-friendly. Works and syncs all my data from my band without problem.

Microsoft should also update for Band 1 with new features!!! I hope they are not going to abandon this product.

Unable to open the app or sync band without internet connection. I just want to be able to sync my band to the app with or without internet or else this is useless to me while traveling overseas.

I bought this band in January 2016. It completely goes dead from a full charge in less than three hours. I have never used the GPS function because I heard that drains the battery. I am disappointed in this bands battery performance. What good is a tracking device if the thing is constantly dead?

Two points, Firstly the updates... They take longer than a few minutes, the last one took almost 10 from start to finish. Secondly, heart rate.... Why isnt this its own tile inside the app, I mean its cool to see it in the back ground when looking at sleep and movement, however Im more interested in tracking this than golf or any other activity... Whilst your at it what about UV tracking.... This thing collects a large amount of data but we can only see some of it

Only works with the Band. No other features.

After getting the original MS Band I was a huge fan. I thought the Band was better than any other fitness wearable out and bragged about how Microsoft had often updated the band and added features like golf tracking which I loved. And then it happened...Microsoft release the MS Band 2 The app is still regularly updated...and no features are added for the Band 1. The Band 2 has some hardware that the original doesnt have, so some of the features obviously arent backwards compatible. BUT most of them are just programming. Shame on you Microsoft for forsaking us original users who raved about your product when the media was slobbering all over the iWatch

The shortcut to the Cortana "Learn More" has been giving a "network error" message since the last couple of updates. Please fix and add some Cortana functions for IOS users.

I have a Microsoft Band 1 and used to sync it with my windows phone before switching to iPhone. They worked amazing together. Now, it takes roughly 8 attempts to fully sync the band with the app on iOS. Sometimes the Bluetooth turns off and on, disrupting the process. Its slightly frustrating to have to jump through so many hoops. Please do something about that. I love the band

I use a lot of apps to track my health. Please dont create a parallel universe with your own integrations, write and read data to health kit. My band is sitting on a shelf for now and Im using jawbone until my Band plays nicely with others.

I really enjoy using the app, everything is about is awesome. My only problem is that it dont share to my iPhone health App which I would love for you to add. Also, maybe add more wallpapers.

I have the first band. I like the band a lot. The main issue I have is with the past 2 updates of the app. Before, I could sync my band quickly. I also blocked it from using cell data for privacy reasons. Now, Microsoft is forcing you to sign in with your Windows password first so they can gather all your activities. Even if you allow it, syncing is super slow if it does it at all. Microsoft really messed this one up.

I have a Microsoft band 2... "Love it" but it crashes every month...!!! Battery is 100% but when worn, it turns off & after resetting, it claims that it ran out of battery. And the cycle goes over & over & over... Maybe Im using it too much...?! LOL... Its suppose to track your activities but its a pain every time this battery issue cycle goes. As for the app, I dont understand why is the app showing less calories & steps count than my band...???????? Esp with the latest update... Very poor info on this...!!! Syncs super super super slow too... I hope the developers are doing something to rectify this issues "soon" bec this is SO terribly disappointing for a health app for Microsoft.

For years I wore the Nike Fuelband. Now that its discontinued, I judiciously looked for a new fitness tracker. When I found the Microsoft band 2 I was excited. The feel of the band and the app both fit exactly what I needed. After several weeks the app stop Working and I have lost all of my information. I am so frustrated. The app needs a lot of work to display what you want. The band is nice BUT, it only holds about a days worth of charge. All in all they need to Go back to the design board.

This is a great companion app for the Microsoft Band. Hope they keep updating and adding new features to the app and band.

Why add something, force it prominently on my app and then give me know way to remove it? I dont want to connect my fitness band to Facebook. Please allow me to decide what tiles I have in the app and how the are arranged.

The Microsoft Health app is about as easy to use and easy to read as any health app I have ever used. The app is has both at a glance information as well as very detailed information on everything the band (2) measures. When the band is connected via Bluetooth when you open the app it will automatically sync new data and show you where you are in relation to your goal. My only complaints are with its connectivity with other apps. The band said that it would sync with my fitness pal which as far as I can tell it does not. I also would like to see the band have more functionality with the iPhone health app (i.e. Data from my steps, calories and sleep being provided to the iPhone health app)

I dont want this feature that was added with the latest update but I cant remove it from my home screen.
