BetterMe: Health Coaching 12+

I love the app, but it needs a few more features. I would love to have more choices when it comes to the exercises. They have to think about your physical health, age, and weight. Some exercises are just made for people who are fit, young or both. At the beginning the exercises are modified to a beginner, but then they get more challenging. The problem is that after months of exercising when you’re overweight and older, your knees start feeling the pain, so I do recommend they stay on a modified exercise when it comes to putting all the weight on your knees or giving you the option within the app.

Also, it’s important to provide two feel good options because it helps you achieve that goal for that day, and also you have an option for those days when your life was crazy busy, active, and full of chaos.

Lastly, I have had many problems of it crashing down in the middle of my workout many, many times! This also discourages all the effort we put into a healthier lifestyle. I have even tried it several times, but it constantly crashes down. Also, I can’t even delete and reinstall the app because it might delete all my data. No easy fix for this until now.

With gyms closed, I decided to look for alternate at home exercises. I am in my late 20s and looking to keep an active and healthy lifestyle. This app has great options. I subscribed and I really enjoy the daily 'do your exercises' that fit directly in what I am looking for. I also like the 'workouts' section if I am looking to work a little more on a specific muscle group.

Yet, for me honestly I do feel that the food and dietary section is not useful to me. I am not looking for nutritional advice, im only looking for workout ideas so this to me is not useful. I would advice BetterMe to have a full seperate app just for nutrition and one just for workouts with the possibility of merging data from both apps together if the user wants to. Otherwise, a lot of the data on this is just not useful to some people. I do get the whole concept of being a full plan of food and exercise but thats my experience.

Another think I want to point out is the 'do your workouts' section of the Plan page. Some days it recommends walking, other days it recommends a full 25 minute exercise routine -which is exactly what i love about this app and why I subscribed to it. Yet, skme days when i check the 'do your workout' section it says 'today walking' it doesn't make sense. I suggest modifying the Plan page to include under the 'do your workouts' section a 'walking' subsection and an 'exercises' subsection. That way you get to have both new options everyday.

Hello! We appreciate you taking the time to let us know what you’re looking for — most of the improvements we make come from ideas and suggestions like yours.

However, for a pay-for app, it is lousy. The food recording is ridiculous-good luck finding what you are looking for in the measurement that is reasonable. Many different measurements seem to have been done by a completely inept person/machine, having 5 different measurements that all say the same calories. Then, you HAVE to give access to every part of your health on apple in order for it to track your steps or to even log your weight? I don’t use apple health and don’t want to share my information with it. I can understand the steps but allowing just the step tracking to share does not work at all, it still requires you to share everything. What is the point of having separate sections if yo can’t allow one section. These issues render half of the app unuseable, add to the fact it doesn’t sync with Fitbit, and I def wouldn’t recommend this app for anyone unless you are only looking to read the little quips which are nice but so far are all information you can get free online in weight loss articles, just broken down in smaller bites. The water tracker is nice, and I haven’t tried the workouts yet since I use another app for those that is easing me into them.
The daily log in award thing doesn’t even work correctly. For 3 days it told me I was at “day 5” and then I updated the app and it sent me back to 1.
And despite what the response to my negative review says, it does not sync with Fitbit. There is not even an option.

Hello!

The Calorie Tracker tools are easy to use and always have something to offer. If you are not sure about the community records connected to your possible food logs, please search for a green checkmark that confirms that this position has been checked by the professional and the calories\macroelements per weight are correct.

We are using Apple Health Toolkit to provide our users with the correct tracking for their Steps, Weight, Activity timers, etc. Giving permission to Read and Write data allows BetterMe to synchronize with your Health app and other apps connected to it.

Every Heath checkmark is connected to each other, and that's why marking only one does not do the job in the case of BetterMe. The data simply can't be transferred from BetterMe to Health and vise-versa if you will not mark all the permissions.

Also, BetterMe can synchronize with FitBit and related apps. We will be happy to help you with that synchronization.

The Chapters function is only a small, motivational, and quite a new tool that has been created for additional stimulation and help to every user willing to read those chapters. The doze of the information which users receive every day is quite limited to make sure every word will be read with proper attention and thoughts. Of course, this is nothing new nowadays, and everyone can find something similar on the web. Still, we made this tool unique and helpful for everyone willing to follow the recommendations.

We highly recommend you check the Workouts out. We are doing our best to adapt them for every category of users.
