Rumor says it was vibe-coded via Gemini CLI and the engineer didn't even smoke test it becuase they didn't have a Fitbit Air back then 🤣
After using Google Health for ~2 weeks now, I can say it’s one of the worst apps made by Google.
I’m switching back to Apple Health right away.
- It looks good in promotions but looks so weird when you actually use it.
- It’s so sluggish and slow. Most pages take several second to load like it’s a poor webpage.
- Sometimes a page wouldn’t load at all, and I’d have to close and reopen it to get it to work.
- It doesn’t properly utilize my workout data from Apple Health. It shows my workouts, but doesn’t add their metrics to anything like total calories burned or active minutes. It only adds to exercise days.
- Despite having access to my sleep data, it doesn’t give me a sleep score. But maybe that feature is reserved for proprietary gear like FitBit Air.
Overall, I found this to be a really poorly designed, sluggish, and buggy app.
