Hidgets

This app is great, but doesn’t allow you to track TOTAL calories (I.e. the combination of what the Health app refers to as Active and Resting calories). Apple buries this total calories number within the fitness app (see subtext under Move calories in the day overview), but this third-party app is not designed to replicate that number in a widget. This is something that should be easily addressed.

Look, the author of this app isn’t playing the hype game very well: it’s a one time purchase and it’s updated infrequently. What those things don’t tell you is this: The app just works. It works fabulously. You should get this if you want an app that you pay for once and can reliably show your health stats in a widget.

I realize it states in the description that the update frequency is controlled by IOS not the app. That still means using this app may not be the best option if you want frequent updates. Viewing heart rate during exercise, for example, does not work particularly well.

I like having a widgets for certain HealthKit metrics. I wish the interface was more intuitive and I wish you could make medium and large widgets with some sort of combination of metrics.

Nice app, didn’t work right when I installed it. I restarted my phone and waited a little while and the widget appeared in my list. But it looks like a very nice app
