I really resent that the ap insists on an upgrade or it won't work. What if you don't have space for an upgrade or any spare megs this month. Not everyone is connected to WiFi all the time. We are doing GCC for work or I would not use this ap.

Who's the muppet that triggered the upgrade. Just made the pedometer a useless paperweight. No longer able to use Bluetooth and history destroyed. Well done you idiots
W

by W####:
The only purpose for the app was to sync the pedometer but with the latest update had to pair it again then the sync didn't work. Also the sync feature should be more automatic not so manual

Can't login on the latest version, and I know the user name and password work on the website, so useless right now

When trying to review your "stats", (your walking performance numbers) the app only shows your 1st 16 days, and then won't scroll beyond that. The app also won't auto-rotate when you rotate your phone should you want to use a wider screen display. And the "submit a help request ticket" feature also doesn't work. It's. OK, but not great.

Regularly updates but creates more bugs than it fixes. Syncing is inconsistent and needs to be redone after each update. The only part of the app that could be useful is the stats, but you get an overview and average which is almost useless.

I uninstalled and reinstalled to turn off the bothersome sleep notifications. But after the next patch it resumed WAKING me up to tell me to go to sleep. Uninstalled again, this time for good.

The walking meditation stops after about 2 mins playback so no way you can use this because you need to be out walking to do it and no point if it doesn't work in this app

Other apps have a huge variety of activities but this only had step, bike, and swim.

Now you have an update which won't fit on my phone and won't let me by pass to enter my steps. WTF you guys!

NO STARS. Every upgrade pairing breaks and I lose steps having to re-pair. Really demoralising . Have turned updating off.

Lots of bugs with syncing your device. The updates reset your settings and the only useful page - stats is awful.

Like the GCC programme, but the app continues to be a productivity and wellness killer. updating continuously breaks pairing with the pulse and re-pairing implies losing stepcount.

You appear to have to manual update your missing step count, then reset the pairing link.

Works as intended no issues whatsoever even with the new updates. For those having trouble after updating just delete the app and make sure you clear it's data.. Then reinstall and login.. Then re-sync

Horrible to use sleep feature having to turn it on to track sleep before I sleep (like I'd ever remember to do that), why can't It just pull data form my fit bit like it does for steps, not using this feature anymore

The update of the app has corrupted the login. Please check and reverse back to old version to enable us upload daily steps.

It just cuts out a few minutes into ANY of the calm your mind recordings. The 555 breathing exercise playback works fine though that is shorter, which may be why. Samsung galaxy s5

Everyone having the sync issue: I had to re-pair my pulse to my phone, seemed to work after that and didnt lose the steps....hopefully the new updates fixes it.

Latest version won't let me sync my Pulse fitness tracker with my Samsung galaxy S5 smartphone. Several set up screens are either blank or incomplete making the app unusable.

The app simply won't work so a waste of money and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone else! ! Ive tried to report this issue but I can not even do that!! I've paid good money for my pulse and do not want a £45 pedometer which adsajurares my steps!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE CAN THE DEVELOPERS OF THIS APPLICATION SORT IT OUT.

So I've reset the pulse and reinstalled the app and still the pulse won't pair with the app. Waste of time.

If set to certain languages, the app has no preset button titles or descriptions, just some default titles between <>. If changed to English, most of this issue is gone, but some part has still the same problem, like the second part of the may 11 questions. So its pretty shame to deliver such a non-tested bad app.
