Samsung health app?

Just wondered if anyone else used the Samsung health app to track daily steps and wanted to become friends on it to do some challenges?

I have just installed that Samsung Health app for walking 'CrochetingScallywag' onto my new Smartphone, I got the new phone just over two months ago and already have Mapmyrun on it. my fastest time for running a 5K according to Mapmyrun is 32.25. On Sunday I went on a 12.53 WALK and I put Mapmyrun on walking mode, it told me that I burned 737 calories and I used 17,655 steps, so it will be interesting from now on having this new walking app for walks and Mapmyrun for running.

Hi, I've just upgraded and saw the app on my phone, how does it work?

[CrochetingScallywag in reply to Phoenix_flames21]

It uses the motion off the phone to detect exercise and you can set targets for steps, calories, and active time in a day it can also connect to fitness trackers. There are step challenges every month that are open to thousands of people and you can add friends and do 1 on 1 challenges with them.

I use it for tracking calories etc. I used to use it for tracking cycling and running but use Strava now for that. I participate in the global challenges usually although I missed the fact that one had started in April and they don't add previous days in if you start part way through. 👎
