Google Promises Dozens of Health App Changes After Fitbit Replacement Triggers Backlash

Summary
Google said it will make dozens of major changes to its new Health app after users criticized the redesign that replaced the longtime Fitbit app.
Many fixes have already rolled out, but Google is keeping the new app and overall interface, focusing its response on bug fixes, data tweaks and missing features rather than reversing the overhaul.
Two key customization areas — the Today page and Health tab — currently require users to delete and re-add tiles because the app still does not support simple drag-and-drop reordering.
Android users can also add a Google Health home-screen widget, though it remains limited to a fixed set of metrics and cannot yet be customized.
