## Review summary

Overall, users praise Argus for longevity, ease of use, comprehensive tracking, social accountability, and detailed reports. However, frequent reliability issues recur: step tracking stops, the app crashes, and updates remove or break core features (including workout logging and heart rate), while Fitness Buddy integration suffers. Customer support is often slow or unresponsive. The app remains valued by loyal users, but it needs stronger stability and maintenance to sustain trust over years.

### Pros

- User-friendly, clear UI that helps users stay on track.
- Comprehensive feature set including steps, active minutes, running log, weight tracker, and sleep tracking with heart rate.
- Social features and accountability through the Argus community (friends, posts, and support).
- Rich data, reports, and progress insights to compare activities and outcomes.

### Cons

- Step tracking stops registering or becomes unreliable for days or weeks.
- Crashes and instability, including crashes when entering data or after updates.
- Update-induced loss or breakage of core features such as workout logging and heart rate monitoring, and removal of Apple Watch controls, impacting Fitness Buddy integration.
- Fitness Buddy integration issues, including loss of workout transfer and dialogue between apps.
- Poor customer support responsiveness and slow or no replies.
