New WP Microsoft Health App

[bockersjv]

New icon, some new features and better layout. I can't be the first to notice!

Version1.3.10424.1 in the UK

Your not I saw this early this morning

I am not sure what the new features are and I view the iconography changes to look pretty amateurish. I can tolerate that but the thing that annoys me is my BT connection is no longer consistent. Not happy about that at all....

I like the new icon. A heart icon made of tiles to match their tile UI. The changes to the app are adding some new fields like fitness benefit and sleep restoration. Also for people without the Band, they can use it to track steps with their phones sensors if it supports it.

I noticed that the band will now automatically detect if you are supposed to be asleep and track your sleep cycles, without you having to initiate it by touching the sleep tile. You can still tap it before you sleep, as well. That is a welcome addition to the features.

The updated app caused a bt issue with my phone as well, but after opening the new app and manually forcing a sync while the device was not currently connected to Bluetooth caused it to reconnect and it hasn't dropped connection since that I can tell.

I don't have the band but the app keeps asking me to connect to one on the initial setup making it impossible to use without band

I set up my wife's phone the other day without a Band and during setup, I recall an option like "Skip" or "I don't have one" -- it might be in tiny print or in an obscure spot. I'd delete the app and try again if that option isn't showing up.
