Hi Whoop team, here’s your regular reminder that Steps tracking on Whoop sucks, and consistently under counts steps (especially in bicep band mode, or with a standing desk walking pad), and that a SIMPLE EASY fix is to simply import Steps data from Apple health (which has better steps tracking, and syncs with my waking pad).
And before you say “but Steps is beta” remember that one of your new flagship features “Pace of Aging” (which is awesome in concept btw) weights steps higher than any other metric (at least in my app). So maybe take that up with your executive team why you’d build a flagship feature around a beta function, but I digress.
Please just import steps data from Apple Health. I’m bewildered why you won’t. I really don’t want to, but I’m so tempted to switch to another wearable that includes this ultra basic functionality. Please help me and other users stick with whoop! You’re the most expensive health wearable on the market, which we are all obviously fine with, IF you include basic features that even apps built in a garage have. (Import steps from Apple health)
just to throw my two cents in. Whoop is on track with Apple Watch for me. Apple Watch being more the a 200 steps ish. have you checked your placement on your wrist. Mines sitting two fingers width from the wrist bone.
Using a walking pad registers zero new steps but having my iPhone in my pocket it’s perfectly accurate. Fix this Whoop! Allow us to import steps from Apple Health at MINIMUM.
Completely agree this needs to be fixed. I would be fine with being able to manually correct the steps of walking workouts. My walking treadmill doesn’t sync with anything, but displays an accurate step count, that is often more than 50% off of what whoop counts, even when following whoop supports recommendations on how to walk for best accuracy.
I was four steps off my weekly plan and tried backtracking and adding in the few steps via apple health. It’s too bad they won’t import it didn’t work for me, missed my target.
Dear Whoop: please figure out how to learn from Apple for step count. Also you should be able to figure out if your device is being worn on the wrist or armband. For the $50 I paid to get the armband, the device should know when that’s what’s being used.
