Open the Health app to check your activity. Tap Steps or Flights Climbed, then choose the weekly, monthly, or yearly view to see your activity over time. Use Sleep to set a goal for how long you want to sleep each night, then record how many hours you spend in bed and sleeping. You can also create a customized bedtime routine to help you unwind—like listening to music or a podcast. Gain insight into your menstrual cycle by tracking symptoms and duration.
Find out when your period is likely to begin, get prediction notifications when your fertile window is approaching, and view your cycle history. For example I have steps and distance of 0. Have run calibration on a track and on a linear measured mile, the app recorded 1.
So basically if you dont have a 6 or 6plus you can only get your walking stats? Thats kinda annoying that all my 5s can do is show me how far ive walked.. Is anyone else having a problem with the Flights Climbed section?
How to turn your iPhone into a step counter | Computerworld
My app does not seem to be counting stairs. For the record, I do have that turned on. Its very frustrating. Same problem others have mentioned. My husband always get higher readings on mileage when we walk together exactly the same distance. He had about steps and.
I on the other hand had steps and. Something is clearly wrong! Once I did that I noticed the distance was tracking more accurately, then today it went back into sucky mode again. Let me know how you went and if you found a way to recalibrate or improve the accuracy.
Use the Health app on your iPhone or iPod touch
Many thanks. I have the same problem when my wife and I walk. We always get different readings. She just did a long walk around an established route and the mileage was way off. Has anyone figured out if you can calibrate steps? My husband, son and I all went on the same hike. Mine read 8. All different floors gained as well. Did anyone figure out how to calibrate the size of a step? Step tracker pedometer is only useful if you write down your stats every day.

For those who only want to look at their daily stats at the end of each week — too bad. No daily number totals apart from the current day. A totally useless feature is the step count by fractions of a minute….. But no day totals???? Developer must have left half way through the project….. I see many people here commenting that you can only see stats from today.
I sometimes walk in place to get a few more steps in at different times. I think the distance changes then too. I would think that would make our data usage on our phone go crazy. I love the health app. I want to know how do I retrieve data from the previous day on the dashboard? I saw it on steps recorded by the hour. My co-worker has a 5c and his app records his steps but mine does! I shake the device and it does nothing. Yea you need an iPhone 6 or newer, a Nexus 5 is not able to use the iOS Health app to track your movement.
The step counter works well! The flights measurement is very erratic. I am sure it is the app, not the built in barometer. I use cycle meter for cycling, and it reads elevations correctly. The health app does not. Step tracking is way off for me. That another user says its doubled. I may have to try another vendors band. The one thing I have been frustrated about with the health app is the inability to see totals.
Unless I have missed something I see no totals of steps, mile, etc.
I would like to easily see how many miles I have walked in the last week or month without having to add the days. Am I missing something here? You are right, in the current Health apps the total steps, miles, etc for all time or per month or week are missing.

Additionally there is no way to view longer term trends or charts for multiple months, years, etc. Seems like an easy thing to add, hopefully future iOS Health will add such features. Which shows a greater number? How close are they?
How to use Apple Health app to track your general health
I would tend to trust Google too for distances, but keep in mind that when you are walking, the distance covered is often different than direct lines on a map distance would be, thus the Apple Health tracker may be providing accurate mileage data and step data. It uses the accelerometer to track the steps, and it must ping GPS to determine distance. Indeed you can add heart rate data and BPM to the Health app dashboard on iPhone, but at the moment you need to input your heart rate data yourself. There is not a system of measuring the details on the iPhone yet , perhaps Apple Watch or maybe an app that uses the camera can tie in the data to Health app?
I have an iPhone 5c and thanks to this thread im aware my phones health app will not fully function due to the lack of a coprocessor. However, I have a nike fuelband and am trying to figure out how to link the two together so I can track steps and such.
Any help? On iOS 8.

I noticed that actively running the app sometimes slows the performance. Means it takes a huge chunk of the processor even if the battery is immune. Similar to the above. When I enter manual steps it does NOT appear on graph. Is there a way to click on the date in the Steps on the Dashboard and not get every minute, but just that many steps for that day? I can see the current days steps on the dashboard, but nothing from the previous days, just on the graft, but not the number of steps.
I would like to know how to do this too. It looks like someone else asked the same question, over a month ago, with no response. Perhaps an update will fix it, because it would be very useful to go back by date, and to better look at specific periods of time. The data as presented away from the charts and graphics, when you tap on details, and you get the list of specific movements, that for now is rather useless to the average person. Is it because of the old tech specs of the iPhone 5 or am I missing something?
