The SAMSUNG HEALTH APP in 2020 | In-Depth Review/Tutorial | WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW

So, here is what you should know about the new Samsung Health App in 2020! This is a very thorough review/tutorial for all of those looking to make use of Samsung Health and get healthy! Samsung has done a wonderful job revamping the Samsung Health App to be much more competitive when it comes to tracking health. A few years ago, I emailed the developers through the Play Store and told them I would no longer be using Samsung Health because of how basic it was. A couple of years later and some of the very features that I recommended have been made available! I am very proud of Samsung for their hard work and dedication towards making Samsung Health legit! Samsung has come a long way since S Health! Samsung Health should be at the top of the list of fitness apps for free!
There's step tracking, food tracking, sleeping tracking, stress tracking, heart rate tracking, caffeine tracking, and so much more! Not to mention the bevy of workout programs and routines to help attain a greater level of health.
Also, be sure to check out the promotions page within the discover tab to receive six months of Calm Premium for free! Calm is a mental health app with a slew of meditation, sleep, and calming sounds, including sleep stories and much more!

Great video. I had to down graded my app version of the app to 6.9.0.051 to get the weight management feature, and also they took away the detailed REM sleep info in the newer version of app. EDIT: I found version 6.10.0.041 seems to be the highest version BEFORE they took away the weight management and REM sleep info.

Hi Landon - really great video and thank you! I was wondering if its possible to scan in food into the app? Also, is there a way to export or share that data with a personal trainer?

[@mh-ey4wf]

Werry informative. Thanx. I have both Huawei GT2 and Samsung watch. I had gt 2 sence march and i just got my Samsung. What i miss in samasung app is VO2Max info. Also huawei gives you inf9 how intense your workout was. For cardio training it says do you improve or just maintain. And also how long is recovery... Once agien, great video👍

I loved the video, I felt lost bc I now just realized that the weight management and calorie counter removed 🙄 what app would you recommend thats compatible with the active 2 watch .?

[@tonyasgarner]

I've had the app for years and essentially only used it for step counting, until I got the watch amd it started recording other stuff, so your notes had expanded my use of the app. One question/improvement I need is how to create my own custom workout program. Any idea?

[@LardoiseGirl1976]

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note9. It has a sensor to read your heart rate, and measure oxygen levels. I have purposely kept a very old version on my device even though I have the most recent One UI 2.1 I kept version 6.4.0.047. It was the last version that still recorded oxygen levels. I downloaded from APK pure. I turn off auto update and I keep that version till this phone has run out its clock. And awesome video on the new version. Very informative!! ❤😊😊❤

[@TodaysTech]

Ah, yes! The Note9 was great and it was the last of it's kind pertaining to the heart rate sensor! But hey, very smart of you! Hold onto that APK lol idk why they removed it in the first place when there are still active devices capable of using it!

[@TodaysTech]

I'm glad you found it informative!

[@LardoiseGirl1976]

When it first happened there were many negative comments in the play store. The Oxygen meter is one of the features I depend on with tracking asthma. This oxygen meter has done me so well!! I can have very low oxygen and not realize it. If it is low, I take my inhaler and it really helps. Thank you so much for the reply!! ❤😊😊❤

[@monster7arena575]

I have a question in the calories section 'know it says 2 things when we click it calories burned and below it activity so which is actually the calories we burned the the top one is over 1k calories and below 150 calorie

[@estradaj777]

Great video, seems like you’ve done your homework.

[@TodaysTech]

Thank you! 🙌🏿 I definitely wanted to be as thorough as possible!

[@lenadahling]

Can you talk about how it's changed and what they've discontinued? Like weight management, the widget is on my watch, but it constantly says I'm over because I can no longer adjust the targets via my phone. Also, stress management is no longer there, and you can't edit previous sleep records, can you? Any discussions with Samsung about these issues?

[@drvijay009]

Hi .. Such a great video. The sleep pattern u showed was in depth as fit bit does , which was a major difference between the two. Does this detailed sleep data output depend on the tracker we use ? Or same with any kind . even its a fit 2 pro or some galaxy gear s3

[@TodaysTech]

Thank you! 🙌🏿 As the far as I know, the detailed sleep data is not limited to the Active2. My wife has a Gear S3 and she gets the detailed info as well.

It looks like Samsung removed more features than it added since this video was released! No wonder people are downloading other fitness tracking apps, kind of aggravating. Nice vid though, learned a lot.

[@TheElitets]

So...I just upgraded to a S22. I don't see the measure button where I can scan my finger to get stress, oxygen, etc. That means I have to get a fit watch?

Hey Lando, why did Samsung take away the weekly miles you walked or ran?

[@bushrod6258]

How are you getting these widgets because I don't see them on my Samsung health app

[@brittneyiturrey931]

This is a weird ask, but how do the watch and app behave when they're not connected to WiFi? I have a Garmin Venu rn, but it won't let me see anything in depth unless my phone is connected to WiFi instead of cellular data...

[@arthurrosenbaum7448]

A very informative tutorial, especially for someone who bought a Galaxy watch but dislikes Samsung Health because it has to be used only on the tiny screens of a phone. Your tutorial makes the App more useful. However, to the best of my knowledge Samsung still does not provide a way to download the information onto a PC or a Spread sheet. This is a constant complaint by a large number of people who miss the dashboard that Fitbit and have second thoughts about the utility of a Galaxy Watch for monitoring exercise. It is a shame because the watch is a lovely device but Samsung is so unresponsive to what many people want. It is not a big ask for them at least to make it portable to some other exercise apps.

[@pirataboricua]

Thank you for the info I am new at this. What is the advantage of synching it to MyFitnessPal? Seems like duplication...

[@TodaysTech]

You’re welcome! The benefit is if you can’t find what you need in Samsung Health, you can enter anything into MyFitnessPal via the barcode scanner and it will sync with Samsung Health. Make sense?

[@gilbertgk]

I wish there is a way to search specific exercises in discover. Example cannot find bike indoor exercises.
