Health App completely buggy?

On iPhone 6, I thought Health App would record certain kinds of data and pull in other data from other apps and devices.
I first connected to the Jawbone UP, and both apps stopped working. They hung, crashed, didn't track data. Disaster.
I disconnected the two apps, and each did its own thing.
Then I noticed that the Health App stopped tracking "Flights Climbed". One day, I climbed up a hill, and it said it was equivalent of 9 stories. That made sense. Another day on the same route, 0, flights.
I went to Genius Bar and was told the HealthKit is broken. The app was released before ready.
What's the real deal?

I take it you have already gone into the Health app and set up your Medical ID card, correct?
The Medical ID card will show up on the Lock Screen password entry screen when Emergency option on the bottom left-hand side of the screen is clicked.
It does not show up anywhere if you do not have a passcode lock on the screen.
Cheers,
GB

  • How to delete duplicate datasets in iOS health app?

    I synchronize my POLAR activity tracker with my iPhone to collect and visualize the number of steps in the Health app. In most cases it works perfect, but sometimes the data are completely to high. So I have days with more than 600.000 steps, but the list of data points shows thousends of duplicate entries.
    Is there an easy way to remove the duplicate data?

    Hi Tidbits,
    I ended up going to Best Buy, where I got my LG G3 Verizon phone. The Tech tried everything to correct the duplication, but could not find how to do it. He deleted everything, and went back to factory settings. Darn if the duplicates didn't come back.
    He went to my Verizon account, and went to the Verizon Cloud. Clicked on Contacts, and there were all the duplicate contacts. He deleted the duplications, leaving the original for each contact. BINGO the problem was solved.
    I am using the Standard Messaging instead of Verizon messaging Plus. The Tech said that if I had been using Using Verizon Messaging Plus this may not of happened. I just down want the added cost of Messaging Plus.
    Thanks for the response.

  • Health App Gone Awry

    I'm using a 64 GB iPhone 6 running iOS 8.2 and starting last week the Health app has gone completely off the rails.
    I average somewhere between 6 and 7,000 steps a day (trying to work my way past 10k) but noticed 5 days ago it now shows me walking 30 to 40k, sometimes even more - example this morning I'd been out of bed 20 minutes and had only walked from my bedroom to the kitchen, yet somehow Health thought I'd already walked 18.7 miles before 7 AM.
    Is there any way to reset and/or recalibrate? Anyone have any ideas?

    You should not be able to delete Heath App. It's part of the built in iOS.
    Swipe down from the centre of your home screen to bring up spotlight and search for it with that.
    It's probably hidden itself somewhere on another home screen.

  • I do not see glucose monitoring option in health app !!!!!

    I have been adding values of my daily blood glucose but suddenly all the data disappeared and now I do not even an option of Blood Glucose in the Health app. What is happening?

    This was a sceduled Support call from Apple Support. There has been an ongoing issue with MAIL since I upgraded to Mavericks OSX in February 2014. Since that time I have contacted apple support at least 6 times each time they run me through several problem solving processes.The program will work  for few days correctly, then revert right back to the same issue. That issue being that I can send mail fine, but getting logged in and receiving incoming mail can be very dicey and a long drawn out process at times. I sometimes have to open and close MAIL three or four times to get connected to the imap account. Sometimes it just hangs completely in mid download and I have to force quit and restart. I have Mail set to update automatically which it will not do I have to Manually get new mail every time. I have rebuilt the mailbox at least 4 times. I have completely deleted the account at least 5 times and started over This latest support call once again informed me that my free support time was out (of course) and that I had used all exceptions available for this issue??? All that being said I have included here the follow up email that was sent to me by the tech after we spoke on the phone. Her explanation to me was that there was a MAIL update that came out after my last call to apple support dated November 6th which suposedly would address the issues I am having with MAIL.

  • Health App management tool

    Anyone else out there wish apple would release a tool to completely wipe all Health app data and start over? Over even do it for us? Clean slate? I have a feeling that'd solve so many issues we are experiencing with duplicate data, no data at all, trying to delete apps and data and the data really not deleting, Health apps with Gigs (GIGs!!!!!!) of data. Someone at Apple please listen. Everyone else with the issue, please add/like/increase this post so we can strive for a resolution (for me it's issues with WiThings and MyFitnessPal on an iPhone 6+). Thanks!

  • Health App. and Hydration

    Since purchasing my iPhone 6 in December, I've been using the Health App quite a bit, and overall am pleased with what it does, or at least seems capable of (I clearly don't use all of the features that it includes).  What I'm writing about today, and what I was most surprised about, is what it doesn't do (or at least doesn't appear to do).
    The App has the ability to track so many aspects of what we do every day regarding exercise, food intake, calories burned, How much Vitamin A we have in our diet, etc...  What it doesn't do (or at least doesn't appear to do) is track hydration, how much water we take in.  With Dehydration being such a major issue in our society (Something like 70% of people functioning in a dehydrated state).  And with Medical and Fitness professionals talking constantly about the importance of hydration to our health and well being...  It's surprising to see this very critical element missing from the Health App's capabilities.
    There are so many Food Diary Apps, and Fitness apps out there (Lose It for example) that do track this sort of information, It would be great for Health to integrate this info as well to provide users with a complete picture of what is happening in their bodies.
    Are there any plans to incorporate this info...?  Would love to see this feature added in an upcoming update...!

    Keith,
    Thanks for the quick response...  It wasn't clear (since I got here from the Support page) that this wasn't Apple.  Will take your suggestion and see if I can find the appropriate area through the link you provided...

  • Health app - no trans fat?

    Most health website when it comes to giving health advice mention so called "trans fats" (next to unsaturated and saturated fats)
    Health App doesn't seem to track Trans Fats? Are they known by another name?
    As they are unhealthy it would be helpful to be able to track intake (Based on data generated by MyFitnessPal for example).

    Well, I ended up Restoring iOS 8.2.  A complete and utter waste of life and much more tedious than it should have been but Health is now tracking walking + running distances correctly.

  • Apple Health app for iPad (and Personal Health Record)

    Is the Apple Health App only for exercising and doing physical activities ... or ... will it be for keeping one's "Personal Health Record" on your iOS device?
    I would hope that Apple would have their Health app for keeping records like doctors' visits, health records, lab results, hospital stays, doctor lists, reminders for appointments, keeping weight data over the long term, BMI, blood pressure and so on. All this kind of stuff is very well suited to be done on the iPad and I was looking for the Apple Health app (for the iPad) to see if Apple incorporated this "full functionality" for "health" for people to use. I just can't find the Health app to use on the iPad.
    I've already downloaded several apps separate from Apple which are supposed to keep records and doctors visits and lab results and blood pressure ... etc, and etc ... but I haven't found them to be completely adequate. No one is able to provide a fully functional and complete health record and all its functionality (including x-rays and lab results and analysis) for iOS devices.
    I suppose that the field is "too new" for the iOS devices to be fully functional yet ... but I would hope that Apple would "get there" first, with its "Health app".

    Which is no reason you can't still store your Health data on it. The Health data can be transferred from one phone to the next if you use an encrypted back up.
    Apple appears to have been looking at the iPhone as a collector of data and Health as the front end to that as well as a repository of information collected from other sources. As an iPad currently can't collect the data the way an iPhone does, the function of the Health app would be slightly different than on an iPhone. I'm not suggesting there is anything "wrong" with how you would like to use Health, only that it appears to be a bit different than how Apple thinks Health should be used. Submit feedback to Apple letting them know what you'd like to see.
    Personally, I really find the Health app only useful as a transfer conduit at this time. I find myself rarely looking at the dashboard. Perhaps my opinion will change with the release of the Apple Watch.

  • Problem with steps in health app!!

    Hello guys, i have problem with my health app, i enable steps in the app but it doesnt count even a single step, it says "No Data". I searched in the Internet the way i can enable steps and did exactly what it says but nothing. Can someone help?

    you can use 3rd party apps to monitor your activity, but this will drain you iPhone Battery significantly more than if using the integrated Motion coprocessor.

  • Health app: bug in daily average for sleep in year view?

    I've manually entered sleep time for everyday since August 2014 in the Health app (on iOS 8, on an iPhone 6).
    In Day, Week, and Month view, the daily average seems correct (resp. 7h49, 7h09, 7h09).
    But it is obviously wrong in the Year view (12h36mn).
    Also the graph in the Year view is wrong. (The bar for August is twice as high as the one for October for instance.)
    (I've check -3 times- that these manually entered data were correct.)
    Does anybody experience the same problem?
    Or as any idea what the bars, in the Year Graph, are supposed to represent? (daily average for each month? or total sum of sleep time for the month?)
    Thanks in advance!
    Antoine

    The Health App really serves as a conduit between a variety of other apps that wouldn't ordinarily be able to talk to each other. The App Store has a section for apps that work with Health to be able to sync data.
    You can submit feedback to Apple here:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback
    Don't stress to much if you can't find a section dedicated to Health. Pick something under "iPhone" and just make sure you explain it well.

  • "medical id" is missing from my health app on my iPod touch 5th gen running iOS 8

    Along the bottom of the health app on my iPod touch 5th gen running iOS 8 I am missing the "medical id" that should be the 4th icon on the lower right of the screen

    You can't seriously believe users would be *that* idiotic, even on a sue-happy country like the US… And while Apple could get sued, it's not like Apple Legal would lose a case like that; for someone to die in the first place *because of the iPod Touch*, first-responders (be them regular bystanders or medical professionals) would have to be stupid enough to believe they could use it to make calls and not try doing that using instead, duh, a regular phone that they would likely be carrying with them anyway, and for Apple to be in the least bit accountable, the interface would have to misdirect them and make them believe they could in the first place.
    Except it doesn't. It never did. The iOS interface, on the iPod Touch, has no references whatsoever to calling functions, be they regular or emergency-related. If you tap a phone number detected by smart filters, you can't dial it (I believe you're offered the option to save it on the Address Book, though), and on the lock screen, there is no “Emergency Call” function (nor would there be such a function on the Health ID page, either). So… I fail to see your point.
    And you can't seriously believe Apple would risk, on purpose, a lawsuit by the family of someone who, having both an iPhone *and* an iPod Touch (not very likely, I know, but please bear with me) dies because s/he is carrying only the iPod Touch and unwittingly (but understandably) expects *all* Health and the potentially *life-saving* Health ID info to sync across devices via iCloud.
    Nope, this is an oversight by Apple devs, and a massive one at that.
    P.S.: A massive legal/functional disclaimer, such as “Warning: This device cannot connect to the cellular network. For emergency calls please use an appropriate device” or something along those lines would pretty much exempt them from any legal responsibility, while still enabling a life-saving feature.

  • How can I delete a bad app completely from my iPad mini in order to re-download it as though I never had it?

    How can I delete a bad app completely from my iPad mini in order to re-download it as though I never had it?

    Yes, it will now always show that you purchased it, but with it deleted from ipad, when yu click the icon to download again, it will download the latest versioon available from the app store.
    You cannot delete what is in the app store. nor can you erase your previous history of purchasing the app.

  • How do i delete or remove the Tips app and the health app that apple added to my phone on the last update 8.0.2?

    How do i remove the Tips app and the Health app that apple added to my iphone on the last update? Update 8.0.2? I didn't want these added to my phone. I have to remove apps every time there is an update. After the phone is updated I reinstall the apps I removed. After 8.0,2 there was not enough room for me to reinstall my apps because they added the Tips app and the health app. How do I remove them? When you hold your figure on the apps they added, X's pop up on all of the apps i've installed, but not on the ones that come on the iPhone and the ones that they added on this last update. Please help.

    They force you to buy health insurance these days and now apple forces you to keep spyware apps on your phone.
    Oh, knock off the fearmongering. None of those apps are spyware. Health stores all of its data on the phone. It will only back it up to your computer if you do an encrypted back up. The only data it collects on its own are steps, stairs and distance traveled. Anything else in it is information you've explicity authorized it to collect from anothr app you've installed. You're not required to put anything in Passbook, Podcasts, iBooks or Newstand.
