Gyroscope Reviews

by Imzaid

I could not get in touch with support because your FAQ says to use Gyroscope , since app isn’t working, this seems like the only way to get in touch. I have the latest build of your app, running latest iOS 15.0.2 on a iPhone 13 Max Pro.

I had Gyroscope for at least a year and really liked it. It didn't exactly have mind blowing features or anything, but still, it was nice to use. Just a few minutes ago I got a notification telling me that, after at least a year of using, I now need to pay them to keep using it. At all. So stupid. Apparently, they couldn't give two craps about their customers. Now, just like all the other idiot app devs, they are jumping on that seriously dimwitted subscription service, not even offering a limited free version. And even though they make it look like it's so fancy and does all these neat things, here on Gyroscope store, don't be fooled. Honestly, it's just a data and location tracker wrapped up in fake fancy packaging. So unless you like paying your hard earned money to a bad company that has no integrity and couldn't care less about you, just about how much they can get you to give them out of your wallet, and for an app that basically does and tells you the same things other actually FREE apps do and tell you, no less, then go ahead. Break out your wallet. You enjoy handing over your money for a useless app that does nothing for you except aggravate the heck out of you and frustrate you to no end. Me? I'm deleting this ASAP.

Another greedy subscription app? Bye. Nothing is available to try in the "free version".

I really want Gyroscope to be great, but it simply has too many bugs. Gyroscope freezes up on a daily basis. It has trouble importing data from Apple Health. At the moment, I’m still waiting for step counts to update from yesterday even though I see the total in Apple Health and Garmin. Pull to refresh, and nothing happens. The sleep tracking is poor as well. I wear a device that tracks sleep, but for some reason, this app thinks it knows better and modifies that data with its “Sleep AI” making it incorrect. Location tracking is horrible too. I am connected to Foursquare as well as this app’s own location tracking, but if this app’s location tracking is turned on, it completely ignores the Foursquare data. Oh, and it has the same problem refreshing data. At the end of the day, it will often still show that I’ve only been at home in the morning.

I could go on, but the bottom line is that I have to babysit Gyroscope to make sure the captured data is correct. Otherwise, what’s the point? But the worst part is if I notice the data is incorrect or not updating, there is nothing I can do to correct that. No doubt, they great a good looking app, but don’t fall for the looks because functionality is lacking severely.

I paid for the annual subscription, and I regret it. It’s a waste of money. Pay close attention to the data before subscribing. You’ll undoubtably see the problems.

I love Gyroscope for its aggregation, and beautiful view. There is a lot going for it. So far, the better of the apps in this space.

But please, work on your UX. Scrolling and scrolling forever and ever. Look at the calendar view on the iOS fitness app. I know what day I’m on, I know how to jump to another day of the week, I know how to view my day/week/month/year.

I can’t say the same for Gyroscope.

I struggle to find what I’m looking for in Gyroscope. Sometimes there’s just too many options. Too much all over with little cohesion. Then when I do roughly figure it out, the tabs and what they have get changed.

I get it, I’m a developer myself. It’s a hard issue to solve. But at this point I’ll probably use this to gather from all my health apps, export, and writes some of my own charts. Which is a shame.

Like I go to the friends, see 2020 workout card calendar shared. How do I find that for myself? Where is it? How do I find it? Go to reports tab? Only see today, scrolling, nope don’t see it anywhere. How do I find this? Scrolling scrolling scrolling.......

Please make ONE consistent way of accessing via time, and via subject.

And then see reports, and how to generate those reports.

We can even have a zoom call. I’m serious. I love Gyroscope and what it could be. But it’s just so gosh darn unintuitive to find exactly what I want unless it’s just given right in front of me by accident.

To start Out Gyroscope is pretty decent. If you get all the apps that integrates with Gyroscope then your off to a go start ,.... but if you already have other apps that do what this apps does.. like tells you what your heart rate is or was at a certain part of the day ( apples health app, under Armour record), or tells you where you were through out the day ( google maps, Facebook, yada yada yada) , or even take selfie pictures ( instagram, Flickr, Facebook) then you might want to hold off on getting this one. I’ve had it for about two weeks trying to get into a swing of things with it but just can’t. If I want to see where I was I have to go to another app that is supposed to work well with Gyroscope” moves” but if you didn’t save a location on that app Gyroscope don’t know where you went. If you didn’t record a work out then Gyroscope doesn’t know you worked out unless the other apps you save a workout in recorded a workout which then saves it to the health app then tells Gyroscope that you worked out ... and the list goes on. As I said Gyroscope is decent but not great. It missing so much of what I’d like to see Gyroscope have so I could use it as an ALL IN ONE app. Maybe down the road if Gyroscope and Company use the license or permissions to use other apps like apples health app or UA’s record app then maybe this would be a great warm almost perfect app to use but not till then. Is missing a lot of links.

I like how the watch app reminds me that I am actively passing away and I can’t turn it off. I don’t need to know how old I am down to the millisecond.

I wish analytics about my meditation could be pulled in from the Zendō App

I would consider getting the food coach thing if I could just scan bar codes. Lifesum works better for me.

I wish I could try ‘score’ membership for a few days before committing but I guess that’s impossible because part of that membership is article. Maybe just let me try the other parts of ‘score’ free for a few days

I wish I could track fasting with a ‘pro’ membership

I’ve been very impressed with this app’s user experience. Everything is very aesthetically pleasing and easy to navigate. I’ve also really loved the mood tracker as it has helped me understand trends between my physical activity and improved mental well-being. Lastly, the fact that you don’t need a smart watch to track your daily steps is bomb. Gyroscope sends you a congratulatory “10,000 steps reached” notification so you can feel all good about yourself too. ha this app is definitely one of the most holistic apps I’ve seen, if not the most. Sleep, mood, nutrition, exercise, social health, environmental health (it lets you track errands you go on), spiritual health (meditations), it takes everything into consideration. 5 stars!

by Thepaiguy

this app is a simple, beautiful interface that helps me quantify my health -- without the hassle of manually entering in data. I'm not a health nut by any means... but over the past several weeks, i've noticed that checking this app is quickly becoming a daily habit of mine. As a result, I'm taking more steps, monitoring my heart rate, and am more mindful of how much sleep I get. Gyroscope does a great job of simplifying the key variables that are important for your health, and making it easy to spot any anomolies. Some aspects of the product still needs some work (a broader set of integrations, better onboarding experience, etc.) but i'm sure that'll improve with time. For now, definitely worth trying out.

I’ve been using Gyroscope over the past month and so far I have really been enjoying it! Not only has the food tracking feature been great, but to also have the ability to track my daily activity (step count and exercise) and the amount of sleep every night has been really awesome. I never really tracked my sleep before so it has been very cool to see how well I am resting each and every night and it makes me want to pay more attention to my sleep than i have before. If you really want to start taking care of your overall health, this is the best app I can honestly think of.

Gyroscope allowed me to stop using a ton of other apps which was so nice. I love how it shows me my whole health picture and gives me a grade in each category. It shows me areas I really need to improve in whether it be sleep, exercise, stress reduction, or steps. My coach helps sort through the all the data to help me optimize all areas of my health to help me feel my best - or give me a push when I’m not following through which is great for my busy life. But that’s not all it tracks. It also tracks my mood, productivity, places, and my micronutrients. The nutrition tracking makes it so easy. Literally all I have to do is remember to take photos of everything I eat and the staff of nutritionists break it all down for me. Then my coach tells me what changes I need to make. I used to spend so much time doing this with another app. Plus Gyroscope itself is beautifully laid out and there are new features being added constantly.

Gorgeous data aggregator.

I’m a huge fan of life tracking and obsessing over data and Gyroscope has that in spades. It is also gorgeously presented (even if very tiny). I am having a very hard time finding enough value to justify a hefty subscription though... Especially trying to justify paying monthly to give the developers massive amounts of personal data.

Update: after a couple weeks of use I’m still loving it. I am cancelling the Pro subscription plan. I can’t even justify dropping $80 one time on a full-fledged powerhouse app of any kind (desktop or mobile) better yet a passive data aggregator. Even worse would be $120/year on a monthly plan. $10 a year maybe, a month? Hard pass. The customer hostile App Store obsession with subscription pricing is at its 100% worst here.

X changed my life. Lost 20 lbs in 3-4 months. Ended up running my first 1/2 and full marathon a few months later. I wanted to increase capacity as a father, husband, and entrepreneur. Love breathwork. Love nutrition tracking. It’s amazing. And continues to impress.

by Alli425

this app has incredible features that allows its users to remain accountable in every facet of health and wellness. I especially love the ease of connecting with a health and wellness coach directly through Gyroscope . It is a very user-friendly app and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to improve their health and wellness journey!

by Rckstdy87

I have been using this app for about 6 months now. I used to use multiple apps and trackers to track my mood, exercise, food, and sleep. But now with this app I don’t need all of that anymore. I can log everything all in one app! I love how user friendly Gyroscope is. I highly recommend this app to anyone looking to better their health and wellness.

by Presley A Ruland

I have been using this app for over a year. I love how easy it is to keep track of everything all in one app. It incorporates everything from exercise, calories, and even the amount of sleep I get. Gyroscope has helped me improve not only my physical, but mental health too. It’s so easy to use, especially since it connects to my Apple Watch. The results from all of my data is displayed in a way that is so easy for me to understand and interpret which areas I can work on to improve my health!

by Escott443

this app is hands-down the most comprehensive and easy to use wellness app I’ve seen. It goes beyond just recording and displaying stats - it provides a framework for wellness in which you can understand how all the different aspects of your life affect your health. It is very eye-opening and educating! I love how I can see how my daily habits (what I eat, how much I exercise, how long I sleep, etc) correlate to my mood and sense of well-being. this app keeps me motivated to make lifestyle choices that help me feel my best! Definitely a 5 star experience!

by Mjohn8403

I cannot recommend this app enough to new users! I love having all of my health data in one place and being able to track my food. I have become a more conscious eater because of the food analysis feature. I very much appreciate the turnaround speed of having my food photos analyzed too! My apple health info automatically syncs with this app, so all of my information is in one place. I recommend this app to anyone wanting to make healthy changes or even maintain the ones they already have!

by Mtp2021

Such an incredibly useful and well designed app for tracking and synthesizing so many health data sources. Love it. 👏

by Rretzler

I subscribed to the pro version as I knew that my favorite location tracking app, Moves, was going away. I’m very disappointed in this app- many times it doesn’t even record that I have left my house even when I have gone 25 miles across town and stayed for over an hour. As far as my sleep tracking - it is ridiculously off as well. Bedtimes are incorrect as are times I get up. Frequently it recorded me still being in bed when I had been up and around with my phone in my pocket for a couple of hours. It doesn’t do a good job for what I wanted it to do and I wish I had not subscribed or could get my money back. Unfortunately the things that I wanted to track were not available in the free version so I had to subscribe. Frankly I would not even keep the free version for all the errors Gyroscope has - it is certainly not worth the subscription price.

by LuigiGun

Yeah I get it. No one likes working for free. Closing Gyroscope for people who want to burn their money on an app that hardly gets the job done is an insult. I remember purchasing a month and I wasn’t convinced that it was worth even getting the years rate which is what I normally do when an app covers all the grounds necessary. Here’s some advice, instead of a testimonial, give people the chance to experience the pro version before they purchase it. And second, bring something to the table that will smack your competition to the ground if you guys want to charge so much. I give 2 stars because I enjoyed the Apple Watch feature. That was literally the only reason I kept Gyroscope on my phone. Anyhow, let me know when you guys can lower the rate or actually give me my moneys worth. Good luck

It's been really sad to experience the changes in Gyroscope lately.

this app used to be an easy to use app that gave you easy and extensive insight into all parts of your health / life, with multiple views / setup to choose from and consistent navigation.

Today however, almost everything is worse. There is only one way to view data, navigation into insights is convoluted, data is loading slower, you have to use the slow, new timetravel thingy to go back in history, Gyroscope nags about notifications all the time and is not happy unless you allow it to send lots of notifications (it even blocks the view of some of your data until you allow it notifications).

Maybe worst of all is that instead of being an open view into your data, it is now strongly opinionated. You don't follow a 16/8 diet? Then you are doing something wrong! Red colors for you. You don't check your mood two times daily? Then you are doing something wrong! Red colors and notifications to you - you might be stressed! Hurry and check your mood!

If I wasn't stressed before opening this app / receiving notifications from it, I sure will be if I dare to open Gyroscope or don't follow their scheme of how your life should be lived.

I pay for a lot of services and don't mind paying for another but there's really no way to tell what this app can tell me that my Fitbit app can't. The free version certainly doesn't tell me anything different. The barrier to entry to pro level is quite steep.

The interface is really nice, mostly.

Indeed, first impression is it looks great. But it's hard to really get perspective on your day when there are tiny little icons and unidentifiable symbols. Simply put, I don't understand what's going on, and I'm a pretty young tech nerd.
Mobile app design seems whimsical. Too much effort to get colors right, not enough attention to practical use and experience.

The second issue is I'm not super hot on their app integrations.

Moves is not a good app unless you're moving around with an iPhone connected to a power source -- that app takes way too much power and data.

Also it'd be nice if they didn't wed to RescueTime. For an app that clearly cares about how things look, this app can do better. I've tried Rescue Time multiple times and always quit within a day or two -- ironically, unlike this app, setting up and using Rescue Time takes way too much time and the reward is a clunky interface.

Just in a time of crisis, not offering a free version anymore, is almost begging for a negative review. I've been a subscriber twice, and I haven't really found a plausible justification for renewing. The data seems to be more useful for the owner of the application than for the users, as it is not possible to take personal notes to learn from the mistakes and successes that the data point out. The cost x benefit is nothing interesting. I suppose Gyroscope had 1 paid user for every 10,000 free users and the decision seems to have been to get rid of free users, instead of trying to practice more affordable prices on a larger basis. Anyway, despite being the best-designed app among thousands I've ever seen, it failed to make the complete transition from superfluous, to something essential in the day-to-day life of a person looking for improvement.
Nobody is forced to work for free, but a more affordable price would be very welcome

With Facebook shutting down Moves, I’m looking for an alternative movement tracker app. I’ve been using this app for almost half a year. I downloaded it at first to analyze my Moves data. However, the free version of it didn’t seem to offer too much insight of my daily movement. It has nice graphics, though.

Now that this app does what Moves does, however of a lesser quality. For example, it thinks I travelled from London to Paris in 15 minutes on foot. Identifying places in it is not as easy as it is in Moves. It suggests that the place to where you travel a few minutes is the same place from where you leave. Map will not automatically zoom to street level when you try to identify a place.

More importantly, it consumes too much energy in background. While Moves normally takes only 1% to run for an entire day, this app takes 22%. This prohibitive amount basically yields Gyroscope unusable unless you can keep your phone on constant charge. I’ll have to disable its background location activity until the developer make it more energy efficient.

I’m happy to subscribe to the paid version of Gyroscope if these issues can be addressed. Until then, I don’t think it’s worth a few dollars a month.

by AnDrap56

At first I was struggling to see the point of Gyroscope beyond a nicer-looking Health app, but it is a lot more than that. I like the goals you can set, and the UI is aesthetically pleasing. However, sometime I feel like I should be able to scroll down on the card view, but I can't. I think it's great that you can enter injuries and emotions. I wish it tracked location within Gyroscope instead of using Moves.

Sometimes the UI is a little slow/unresponsive and requires a couple taps before it goes through, and as I mentioned above, there's a couple design flaws where the interface doesn't move and flow like you'd expect. I also don't know if the Pro features are worth $9.99 a month. But other than that, Gyroscope works great.

by Dicksyatt

The customer service is excellent. Very fast and patient. Before I linked my other apps and devices I was not impressed. But I have it talking with Apple Health, Oura Ring, QardioArm blood pressure, My Fitness Pal and others. Now, I can’t say enough how much I love Gyroscope . I’ve not experienced this with any other app but there are so many features that seem to appear every time I open Gyroscope . It’s very rich in content. It’s expensive, but so far I think it’s worth it. I was about to subscribe to Sleep Cycle for $30 a year but that’s just sleep. this app logs my meditation, work outs, food with pictures and breakdowns of each food. My life in one place. I’m recommending it to friends

by Xiaoranz1986

I am a data geek, particularly about travels, foods and fitness. I have been consistently tracking multiple aspects of my life for years now and seeing them all come together and presented in a beautiful and practical way by this app is highly satisfying. I can point to certain months in the past and gain insights about my state of mind at that time; having all the data in one place also makes me able to plan my day and week in a balanced manner (e.g. sleep, work, food, fitness, meditation, travels).
this app is also one of the most beautiful apps I have ever used - which make using it an addiction.

by NiaNCarrillo

Great app to get a complete picture of your health with data and the support of health coaches with various backgrounds!
