Health + Fitness replacement

[Dave47]

I installed MS Health on my 640 because of the upcoming demise of MS Health and Fitness. While it does count steps and calories - which IMO are way off - it does not AFAIK support GPS/mapping w/o either a "connected" app (which I could not get to work) or I think a Band. I do not own a Band.

With Health and Fitness steps, calories and mapping worked w/o the need of external anything, including a Band. A sensorcore phone was the only requirement. Here's hoping future versions of MS Health will do same.

I was happy with Health and Fitness as I only needed it to count my steps for the day. I find it odd that the Health app doesn't show your steps right away when you open it. Surely it's recording the steps on your phone, so why the wait? I assume it's syncing the data first but that still doesn't explain why it doesn't show you the steps right away when you open it.
