Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I've had my iHealth tracker for at least 3 weeks now and have found both positives and negatives about it. I'll just report my experience and let the reader decide. First, mine only cost about 60 bucks, on sale at Walgreens. I purchased it using my FSA card since this tracker is FSA eligible. My first complaint about it was that the styling isn't very chic. The look of it on your arm will definitely not gain you "cool" points. Set up was very easy though and you can do it without the aid of instructions. Just download the free app, enable bluetooth on the device that you used to load the app, go to the app Settings, and let the app "find" the tracker and you're all set. I recommend enabling the save to the Cloud function else your alarms will only go to the app and not the tracker. It syncs to the device at the touch of a button. I like the app. I have it loaded on an iPad and it's easy to read and to update. I wish it had more functionality, like the ability to drill down to more detail in the Sleep data, but it does allow me to manually enter blood presser data which is a plus since I don't use the monitor that you can purchase as part of this line. I found entering Meal data as difficult as it is on most other Nutrietion apps so I won't take points away from this device on that one. You can "save" meals though so that you don't have to start from scratch recreating the details of a meal that you've had before. The device itself was fine to wear, at first, but by day 7 I found that the weight of it began to annoy me, especially during sleep. It's thick and would cause me some discomfort during the night. I eventually began wearing it on my arm backwards at night, which helped some. My greatest disappointment with the device is that it does not work reliably for me. A few times each week I sync it just after waking only to find that it stopped recording 2 hours in. It has shutdown twice, though it had plenty of charge left. Since the sleep data is my favorite thing about both the device and the app, I found this discouraging. The iHealth tracker is one of the few wristband trackers that has an actual display so you can press the button anytime and see the time, number of steps, distance covered, calories burned and battery life. It's easy to set for sleep mode but I find it is sometimes reluctant to switch it back into steps mode. I have, at least once, reset the device by holding the button for too long in an attempt to get it to change modes. Also, I find that slipping it into the wrist band is difficult. It pushes out easy enough though. It has good battery life; I usually go 3 days on a charge. And it only takes 2 hours to give it a full charge. It is "splash resistant." It's at accurate at counting steps as any other accelerometer. I plan to return mine for a refund. I would suffer through the styling of it if it more reliably collected sleep data, but waking to find that it stopped tracking at 11:30pm is too discouraging for me.
