User reviews

Health Connect is designed as a centralized platform to share health data across multiple apps and devices but lacks a visible app interface and reliable syncing. Users commonly report inconsistent or missing data synchronization, difficulty accessing or managing the app since it is hidden in settings, and compatibility issues with widely used apps like LoseIt and MyFitnessPal. Many reviews express frustration over bugs, data inaccuracies, and lack of clear control or troubleshooting options. While it can work well in some specific scenarios, the general consensus is that it is an unreliable replacement for apps like Google Fit.

Most importantly, Doesn't work with LoseIt, so it's automatically a 0/5 there. But also it's...literally not an app? Doesn't appear on my home screen or even when I search my phone for "Health Connect". It's more like this just adds a settings page to your phone to, in theory, manage connections between your health apps. In practice it just doesn't work very well. Would rather type things into multiple apps manually than use this.

The last few days my steps are deleted at random, I will have 60+ heart points (that is still functional) and it shows 30 steps. That does not add up at all. Loved Google Fit. This Health Connect app does not do a thing for me. I need to find another app that tracks heart points, counts steps, connects with my other gizmotrons. Am frankly annoyed. Why mess with a good thing and return something so substandard to the general public?
