Review summary

Samsung Health is free and generally useful, especially for Samsung users with cross‑device data sharing. Reviewers repeatedly praise its broad tracking and the value of new features, but frequent updates cause stability problems, step counting changes, and data syncing issues. The main recurring pain points are unreliable step data, Health Connect syncing gaps, data loss after updates, and device compatibility problems with watches, HR monitors, and treadmills.
Pros
  • Free app with solid tracking features and no paid barrier.
  • Good cross-device compatibility and biodata integration with non-Samsung devices like Garmin and Polar.
  • Recent updates add or improve features (e.g., new running features; bug fix in food tracking).
  • Generally useful within the Samsung ecosystem for Samsung users.
Cons
  • Step counting and activity tracking unreliability: real-time updates removed or delayed, distance inflated, and pause feature removed.
  • Syncing with Health Connect and other apps is inconsistent or broken (needs frequent forcing; data not appearing in connected apps).
  • Data loss after updates (workouts, sleep, steps, and other data disappearing).
  • Bugs, crashes, and update-related instability (crash loops on some devices; update broke pace stat).
  • Wearable and peripheral connectivity issues (Bluetooth pairing with treadmill; inability to select HR monitor; watch syncing problems).

Colourful, lovely use of stats, very informative and a great simple design. New features I would like to see would be shortcuts to step challenges and step expectancy so you know how many you expect to have at the end of the day. However, I don't appreciate being told how many steps my friends have done every 10 minutes and haven't figured out how to turn it off? I now either can't figure out how to get my steps total in notifications when I pull down from the top...bring it back!!

What on earth is happening? This used to be all right but now it's impossible to even get a freaking heart rate measurement in the app with the phone without using a watch. Or, if it is possible, it's impossible to even find the option,sick which makes it even worse. What the hell?

I hope you guys fire whoever did the new format. It's ugly, unorganized and hard to see progress. what used to be a very convenient setup turned out complicated to see the whole picture of the body composition

very poor. I have walked one hour and app is showing only few steps. Pathetic performance.

The updated version 7.00.6.003 has made the user interface terrible. Big and useless notifications take up too much screen. Almost no home screen customisation. If it wasn't free with the phone I would uninstall it.

I use this app every day but it's suddenly started to not record the entire walk or shuts down completely mid walk. Distance is wrong. I've been using it for 10yrs and I'm now looking for an alternative.
