Leaf by Bellabeat for Android
love my leaf now...thanks for finally fixing the alarms!
Lovely to look at, so easy to use.
1. Uninstall the app, 2. Reboot your phone, 3. Install it back, 4. Log in, 5. Go to syncing, 6. Update your Leaf (it will give you the option to update), 7. Wait untill the update is finished, 8. It should tell you that the syncing is finished and you can use it. That is the only thing that worked for me. I'm keeping it two stars because you haven't done anything to fix this issue for anyone with Samsung phones. Shame because it's a good app. When you fix it..I will rate it higher.
This app is a joke. Missing steps, inaccurate sleep tracking...it kept deleting my awake times, so I uninstalled the app and reinstalled, it deleted 2 previous days of data, as well as deleted the current days data. I put in sleep and it showed light sleep the entire time. I can get get better sleep tracking on my fit bit flex without wearing it!
I love the idea but it's not accurate with steps and sleep. Updating review. Stopped using it because of inaccuracies. Going to give it another go.
Sleep tracker is sub-par. I have a nutty work schedule and the tracker doesn't understand when I go to sleep at 8 pm.
Couldn't get it to track accurately.
I like the concept of it all but sleep cycle needs improving not accurate at all
Plain speaking easy to use app.
Love my new leaf urban and this accompanying app. Would love to have just one more option on the app...to add a little note to each day would make it perfect 5 Star app. Step tracking is accurate. Sleep tracking spot on to the minute even including my little wake up in the middle of the night. The meditations are wonderful and have really helped with my anxiety already. It's a perfect tracker for anyone who isn't sport focused and just wants to track overall health and wellbeing. A truly holistic approach.
Great Basic Tracker, logs steps on my wrist very accurately. Love the sleep tracker, very comfortable. Worn on my wrist for a month straight now and no issues with strap or device. I get compliments on the pretty design -- I have the leaf Urban in black and rose gold. Syncs with my Nexus 5x no trouble ever. Customer service have been great for me every time (needed a large strap, questions about the baby's heartbeat device). Would love to track calories or water.
Disappointed in quality and customer service!! I had my tracker for a month and it stopped syncing. I contacted customer service, followed their instructions and still it wouldn't sync. I tried a few other things, nothing worked and now customer service has stopped responding! I've sent follow up messages and nothing! So disappointed in how they ignore me when their product stops working! I've had it only for a month! It's an expensive tracker to only last this long. Customer service should at least have the decency to contact me again. Very disappointed in the quality of this product and the quality of their customer service. Update: I received a replacement tracker but it does not accurately count steps. After a full day of activity I go to sync and it has me at 44 steps. Very unreliable and not good value.
Works well, seems to be accurately measuring my step count when clipped onto top or worn as bracelet (don't really use on trousers or as necklace). Sleep is pretty accurate too although sometimes the wake up time is a bit off because I don't get straight out of bed. Like the meditations. Don't use the period tracker as have the implant.
Have to wear it on my bra for it to measure any steps. Frequently mismeasures my sleep. App updates are explained in the newsletter, which I have never seen and cannot find any way to sign up for.
I had to remove one star since my last review/latest software update, as the sleep tracker: 1)does not track as well as it used to. I would occasionally fall asleep on the couch before going to bed, the leaf used to track this time, plus the awake time in between. 2)does not ask me to verify my sleep from the night before after syncing anymore
It's ok. I have an android and it doesn't sync well and never matches my Google fit steps. My leaf will be anywhere from 500 to 1500 less steps . Once My leaf was 3000 less steps than my Google fit . I also don't carry my phone so it Google fit was tracking my steps through my leaf. I've gone throw 27 emails with customer service and they seem to be trying to help. They deactivated mine without telling me first and sent me a new one. When I try to pair it the app said it won't pair but when I open the app it says paired. I also work 5 am to 5pm and get up at 300. So the sleep feature only tracks sleep from 8 until I get up. I can't even manually fix it if I go to bed before 8 because the time won't allow it. It is a pretty piece but is bulky. I wish it was a little less bulky but that's where the components are. I received this as a Christmas gift and I wish I could get my mother's money back at this point
Think about what?
I was so excited to get this and was greatly disappointed. There is no place to log water or calorie intake. I feel like those are pretty important to overall health. It is also very hard to sync taking at least 5 tries every time even when doing what the customer service said to do. It also doesn't start logging steps til around 6am. I get up at 5:00. I have to fix my sleep times nearly every day. It is pretty. I missed the return date but maybe these things will be fixed. I will change my review if so. Edit: March 2017: I wish I could give zero stars. It said to update so I did and it uninstalled instead. Lost everything. Just waiting to get another Fitbit at this time. Still using the Fitbit app to log my calories and water anyway. So disappointed in this product.
I would really love to be able to have it accurately track my sleep. I go to bed before 9pm, but it does not start tracking nor can I change my starting time to before 9pm. The step counter and distance tracker are also inaccurate. When I go for a 4 mile run, the leaf says I have only gone 2.5 miles.
Beautiful and very accurate great product love my leaf ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Wonderful concept for a product and app. It is a beautiful piece of jewelry. I get many compliments on it. Unfortunately, it leaves much to be desired as far as the actual product and app actually working. After only having it for 6 months, I've had it entirely replaced once due to battery change issues, I've had constant syncing issues with the app, and gone through three wrist bands because of the horrible quality. No matter how good your customer service is, it's not going to help with an overall bad product. Looking forward to getting a fitbit. Got one for my husband for Christmas, and zero issues.
Really love this device, beautiful design and great versatility. Still thrilled that it can do much for such a pretty thing, the meditations are wonderful.... One thing I'd love the app to do however is to log miles and steps to date. I have to add mine all up manually and that feels counter productive. I get my email updates but I'd like to be able to store and check my distance/steps totals in the app. This would massively help with training targets.
I love my leaf! I am about to register my urban and hope to love it just as much! My husband and I credit FINALLY becoming pregnant with our youngest to the leaf! We had a struggle with boy or our boys and we're ready to give up! It not only helped me see my horrible sleep aptterns, but helped me stay active as well ands track my cycle! Hope ilove urban just as much (which BTW is our oldest sons middle name ;) )
Wont connect to my phone because its Android, and apparently is a known issue. Good thing I have an iPad! Would really like the capability to use it on my phone so I can visually track my progress anywhere. It's like I'm punished for having an Android and not and iPhone lol
Best fitness tracker I've ever used. Love the ap. Love the guided meditation and hope they continue to increase that. Much more accurate in every way than Fitbit ever was, at both sleep and steps. Never have had any issues syncing. First battery lasted just over 3 months, shorter than advertised but way nicer than having to charge it every night.
EXTREMELY UNHAPPY with this product. Very poor tracker of steps. It is noon and even though I have left the house twice for errands not 1 step has been recorded!! Tried to return however, they have a 30 return policy from the day it was received. My sons bought this for me in Nov for Christmas so the return expired before I even got it!! Clearly they don't stand behind there products! Go for a Fit bit!!
I've had nothing but issues with the app since day one. Back and forth with customer service. Shame, really. This is so much nicer looking than a wristband tracker but not nearly as accurate and really frustrating when you work out and nothing is getting tracked.
I love the meditation exercise and all of the things you can do with it. It's not a fit bit and people don't read into these before buying them. Most of there issues are from lack of research just because it looks cool. Please before you buy one make sure you read into it. I'm a mom and the five minute meditation session on it are amazing. I can't always do yoga or go to the gym to burn off steam but it tracks your sleep, your activities ( but you have to log them in), and meditation sessions. Again not a fit bit, but I highly recommend this if your looking to lower stress and find center in your day to day life.
I adore the leaf and their great customer service! With one suggestion: when you edit your sleep times, it loses the times you woke up. If it could keep these and let you change the time you went to sleep. Or allow you to input sleep sessions that include awake periods, it would be great. I'm up repeatedly in the night to feed my baby and every time I change my going to bed time, it loses those waking periods and so calculates my sleep time wrong.
I love what the Bella Beat offers in information but the app is spotty. I constantly have to uninstall/restart the app and even then more often than not it doesn't work. I'm not sure if it's the app or the Android interface, either way it's frustrating. I've contacted the technical team with a response that is the canned response when the app isn't working. Not a lot of help. Good luck!
I was won over with all the positive reviews but should have done more research. This is not a fitness tracker like I wanted. Coming from the fitbit to this is a big let down. And the latest update has stopped my tracker from communicating with the app so now I have an expensive clip on.
Does not work with any Samsung Galaxy devices (even though my device is not on the list of problem devices.) I loved the Leaf and the app for about 6 months until issues started. Horrible customer service: canned answers, as if a real robot if reading my complaints.
Love the leaf itself but app is horrible it keeps blaming my Bluetooth but yet when I delete and re-download the app it works perfectly again. I tried 8 different things that the support website recommend which not one helped so I decided to try my method which worked but who really wants to delete and re-download a app every 10 hours.... please fix you're app @bellabeat your leafs work not the app itself
I think they need to add tobogganing/sledding as an activity. But otherwise it's a great app. And maybe an option to disregard a day because it was lost or you forgot to wear it, cuz I forveer leave it on my pajamas.
I'd like to be able to track my caloric intake and have weekly weigh ins. It also doesn't let you input your sleep accurately. It needs some work but the bracelet is pretty.
I feel like the steps are in accurate when worn on ur arm. The app is pretty pointless unless u just wanna check how ur sleeping. I wish it could sync with my fitness pro like the fit bit can.
I would like to see driving as an activity... now it doesn't register as taking steps but I'm more active than when I'm sitting on the couch... ;-) Edit; Sync stopped working... no response after I start the sync in the app. Restarting and force closing app doesn't work.
I wish I could have a stress scale, ex: 'Stress level today is: Low, Medium, High'. And also an 'Add a Note' option!!!! I used the app without the leaf for a week and tracked my period, sleep and activities and best part Meditation ♥. Mostly to try it out before buying the tracker. I was happy with the details it gave me and it is easy to use. I love the meditation and how you can still use them without the leaf. The only thing I hated once i received the leaf is that it was very difficult to pair it for the first time but after that it updated and all is perfect. MAYBE YOU COULD SEND THE LEAFS ALREADY WITH THE LATEST UPDATE*
I started using my Bellabeat September 2016. The battery ran out and I tried changing them but the screws stripped, thank goodness the Bellabeat team was able to send me a new unit and help me sync it so I had no data loss issues... I only have one concern with the Android version of the app, it keeps telling me to enable my GPS location to sync my bellabeat... there is no reason for the app to ask where I am in order to update my information... if it isn't necessary bellabeat should have Andriod remove this as it might be considered an invasion of privacy...

Sleep tracker cant seem to detect my multiple wakeups during the night to breastfeed. It'd be great to have more of a manual editing capacity for sleep so I can indicate where i was awake myself when I know about it. Also it would be fantastic to incorporate a kegels exercise routine tracker tab like the meditation tab since the leaf is designed to support women's health.
