TACTIO HEALTH for Android
This was once a brilliant app. However it's evolved into a slow stuttering mess. Has all the features that no other wellbeing app can match though?
Used this app for years. Love it. I recently had some challenges getting the updated app to work on my new phone. Tech support was awesome. Stayed with it until the problem was solved.
The apps is great with a lot of features, which covers most aspect of health. However, it is annoying as it crashes most of the time, especially when accessing features that were not used before.
This is getting crashed at every minute and am not able to use it. Its previous version was good and i was liking it
Seems very unstable; have a lot of trouble getting it to start properly. When it works, it's great though...
The app will decide on its own what an entry should be. And I have found absolutely NO way to edit or correct an incorrect measurement. Fix that, and it will be a decent companion tool. Update on 16 July 2017: The app no longer syncs properly with my Fitbit Charge 2. Nor will it accept any sleep data. When I attempt to manually enter sleep information, the app restarts on my phone. Apparently, there was a recent update which broke the app, reducing its functionality. The app has become useless.
Good app but July 11 update not so much. Please undo the update
*** Update 2*** The Tactio team is great with their support! You all deserve a round of applause! They helped fix and issue I was having and it really worked! Back to being my favorite fitness app! **Updated Review *** I think the Fitbit firmware broke this app. It no longer accurately keeps track of my sleep or weight. *** I really like this app. The learning curve is a bit steep to set up, but once it is, this app is amazing. I typed in results from tests I had at my doctor's office, and the app calculated the same result. The only thing I wish the app did was track heart rate in real time from my Fitbit. I would also like to add, that this app is very well researched with citations of medical research throughout. This is perhaps the most professional fitness app on the market.
Brilliant app! I've used it with Fitness pal, Jawbone and Fitbit, with very few problems. The new design is even better and looks great. It pulls so much together from other apps and interprets really well with graphs and reports. Other devices and apps I've tried have come and gone but I've been using this one for a long time now! Thank you developers :-) FURTHER REVIEW - I needed to contact support today with a login issue, they replied very quickly and their team were very knowledgeable about how to fix it. It's very rare to find a technical support team who actually know what they are giving support in but these people are fantastic, knew it inside out, thanks again :-)
Junk, has not worked in a couple weeks, can not read messages, can not add profile pix. All I get when contacting support is we have escalated, with no further contact in a week. Don't waste your time
Would have given five stars but there is no way to just enter your birthdate. The calendar control makes you scroll backwards (I'm born before 77) forever to get to a different year. It was a pain to enter...
Tried app. Installed and set up connected services. Went into app again, completely crashed and lost all settings. Waste of effort. Will not bother again. Avoid.
The only mention of HIPAA in the license was in reference to third party access of data. Guess they think it doesn't apply to them. If I were concerned about privacy, data would stay on the user's device, backed up to a user controlled location like Google Drive or Dropbox or similar. But that's just my opinion. It might restrict their ability to sell ads. Though they do disclaim sharing my data with anybody. So why take my data into THEIR cloud? Not secure, so not useful.
This app has gone down hill...it was brilliant a few years ago, don't know what happened. I couldn't sign in and it took over a week for tech support to fix it...it started working again and now i'm having the sign in issue again....can't be bothered with it anymore
I used to love it but now all the data randomly disappears. Very frustrating.
It crashes every 1-2 days, then asks me to create a new profile. First time it happened, I recreated the profile, so now I have two, with no possibility to erase one. So every 1-2 days the app crashes, asks me to create new profile, but if I wait ~1minute a "back" button appears, and I can exit the new profile page to the empty dashboard. I have to juggle changing between the 2 profiles and hit the sync button a few times, and after about 2-3 trials and errors the data starts to sync on the main profile (they are identical, so I cannot tell which one is the good one at first). Then I wait another 3-4 minutes, rehit update 1-2 times more, and finally my logs get up to date. Only to be lost 1-2 days later, then I have to start the process again. I contacted support a few months ago with another problem, just to receive what it sounded an automated response that we are sorry and we will fix it soon. I fear the same story will happen this time :) A shame, the app is great and useful otherwise.
Since yesterday all my data is gone. All connected apps are disconnected. When I try to connect says cannot connect to Tactio Cloud, check your internet connection...
All my data stored for several months disappeared Have reported the problem.
Not usable on Nexus 5x. Crashes instantly when opened.
Really enjoy the app so far, however with the bewset update I can't open the messages at all.
Constant problems receiving data from Fitbit.
Overall seems ok, but I can't get it to sync with Fitbit or Google Fit.
Not working in Galaxy S7, Marshmallow
Fast realible and consider everything you need to track your health
Have used this app on iTunes. It's great.
Runs very smoothly on my device. I wish they would do something about the text size. I love that you can now hide things that you don't want to follow on the dashboard. I would like to see a developer putting more time in, so I would be more than happy to pay for the app. I would like to see bone mass and muscle mass too.
On the whole this is a nice app, probably the best of its kind on Android. As with most apps of this type that attempt to interpret figures to indicate wellbeing, the choice of thresholds can be rather subjective as medical practice and opinion varies across the world and there are individual variations. You have to consider whether this gets in the way or not. For similar and other reasons the 'Coach' thing doesn't do it for me but fortunately it can be disabled. Cholesterol tracking is out of step with the move to non-fasting non-HDL tests that present different figures. Doesn't yet sync sleep from Withings.
Tells me need t connect to the Internet when I was all ready connected, tried numerous times
Wouldn't go past the log in screen. Restarted my phone, closed it out, tried everything. Worthless.
Great app and way better dashboard info that the native fitbit dashboard
It was a nice app. Until I had to re install. Now it won't let me sign in.
Great! Love fitbit sync!
Screen keeps freezing or runs real slow. Every time it does sync it adds the food log info. At the end of the day it looked like I had 5 breakfasts, 4 lunches, and 2 dinners. I was hoping to consolidate all my different trackers with this app but it hasn't happened so I am going to uninstall.
Coach thing is annoying, even when switched off messages pop up. Feels undeveloped as crashed often or fails to sync all information in one go. Good app idea and I hope improvements are on the way. now recently won't even start up...Such a shame.
cant delete manually submitted logs... heart rate logs. why... cant even edit it. and took like 7 tries to connect to fitbit app not the device. dont think there is a way to connect the device.
App won't open anymore. The food log via Fitbit sync is easy off. This app has great potential, but lacks the simplest ability to even start up at the moment.
Once I create an account the app starts to load but all I get is white screen that eventually crashed to desktop for lack of better terms.
Never worked. All I have is a solid white screen?? Uninstalled the app.
It keeps asking me to create a new user. It crashes frequently. I love the premise, but the end product has been just okay. If you get it fixed I would like to see options for adding measurements for other body parts like neck, chest, leg, arm, and stomach.
