Steps and distance is very wrong

I'm using the app the exact same way I used a built-in widget in my last phone's OS (OnePlus); no Fitbit or gps of any kind.

For the last 7 years on weekends I've been doing the same walking route with only an occasion deviation here and there. Normally it's 18-20km but this app is constantly giving me extra 20-40%.

Is there an alternative that doesn't require a wearable and that is accurate?

I wouldn't have an issue if the error was within 1-3% margin but this is astronomical.

I only care about distance walked stat and nothing else.

Health connect not allowed to Google Health app

This had just started a couple of days ago. I've cleared the cache, uninstalled and reinstalled the apps and I still have the same issue.

Sleep card wrong

Says I took a nap however shows a full night of sleep (which is true). Interesting self-contradiction

Google Health makes the Fitbit air a bad product

I bought the Fitbit air (coming from and Apple Watch 9) and was excited to have something light which I could have on me the whole day and night.

Nevertheless the app is making it hard to like the product, specially these points/error messages:

  1. Google health coach? Want to ask it something? Half of the times it takes some seconds then the message disappears and I get an error message. Want to log some food which I precisely explain? Takes the liberty to log another version of it.

  2. Pairing: the amount of times it doesn’t pair and says to get the Fitbit closer to the phone while I’m holding the phone with the hand that has it on. Like do I need to stick it up the usb port to be closer? And then I’ll exit the app and it syncs alone. Really annoying

  3. General errors: I don’t want to sound like “that guy” but it is literally the first time since having an iOS device (which has been over a decade) where I have an app that gets so many error notifications. How does this come from a huge company as Google?

I’m looking forward to what’s to come with updates but damn is it hard to try to like something I’ve spent my money on.

Health connect stopped working with Google health app

Health connect suddenly just stopped working for Google health. It does still work for all other apps.

The toggle switch is gray and gives an error when trying to toggle on.

I tried reinstalling the google health app, health connect, my Fitbit zero to my phone.
