Google Health gets better workout logging

Smoothing out the rough edges. Google Health gets better workout logging, improved maps, and Health Connect fixes. Google Health 5.07 improves workout tracking and maps.

Weight tracking gets a visual tweak, making major and long-term changes easier to spot on the graph. Health Connect gets a fix for Android users whose connection to Google Health was unexpectedly disappearing. Google’s ambitions with its new Google Health app are now starting to feel a lot less fragmented.

For reference, the Fitbit app transformed into an all-new Google Health experience earlier in May, but it left a bad taste in longtime users’ mouths. We noted that the app leads with long paragraphs, launched without nutrition and cycle tracking, and was generally hard to navigate. The tech giant listened to user feedback and quickly implemented fixes, and its latest Google Health 5.07 update continues that trend with several meaningful changes.
