Google Health Offers 4 App Tweaks as Redesign Draws Negative Reviews

1 articles · Updated · Android Central · Jun 1

Summary

  • Four customization steps can make the newly rebranded Google Health app more usable after user backlash over its redesign on the App Store and Google Play.
  • The biggest fixes are manual: users can edit homepage focus tiles, swap in up to six small or two large tiles per page, and customize Health-tab key metrics to surface preferred data.
  • Those controls still have limits, because neither tiles nor key metrics can be freely dragged into a new order; users must remove and re-add them sequentially.
  • Health Connect syncing also lets Google Health pull data from third-party apps and devices, while Premium subscribers can set goals with the Gemini-powered Health Coach.
  • Google has already published a support document on bugs it says it has fixed and said it will keep responding to feedback, adding features and addressing remaining issues.
