YFit Reviews

The step calibration is inaccurate by about 25% with app. I have hiked with numerous people with different devices, ie. Apple Watch, Fit Bit, etc. and although we walk the same distance together, YFit consistently shows about 25% less steps and mileage than other devices. There doesn’t seem to be any adjustment utility for the step ratio either to calibrate the steps properly. For example, yesterday I hiked together with a buddy and I know for a fact according to GPS, we walked exactly 5.2 miles, yet YFit showed I only walked 4.3 miles at 9,600+ steps, whereas my buddies Fitbit showed 5.4 miles at 15,000+ steps and my iPhone in my pocket showed 5.6 miles at 16,000+ steps, both of which are much more accurate than YFit!

There are a couple of issues not having been fixed with the updates:

1. When unit setting uses miles instead of km, the pace calculation is in error. It would use the pace calculated according to min/km to represent the pace in min/mile, and then convert it to a value in min/km to report it. This results in a pace that is about 1.6 times lower than the correct value.

2. The heart rate measurement seems to constantly cycle back to restart from about 60 beats per min during exercise and does not continuously track it. The result is a graph that periodically resets and leads to the wrong cumulative results of the exercise in terms of average heart rate as well as duration of exercise intensity.

YFit is surprisingly good, Except for the Outdoor Cycling. I think this glitch may also apply to the running exercise also. Apparently if you start and stop near the same area it does not count the distance traveled. For example I leave the house, bike several miles, return and results are 10 calories burned and 0.015 miles! The elapsed time, and heart rate is correct, just distance is wrong which invalidates calories.

YFit is good but after some time, my messages notifications stopped working even though it was on in YFit . I don’t know what’s going on. It might be the watches problem or the apps problem because I don’t really know. I have no idea what to do. I also lost the ability to get any notifications from any app like insta and more, phone, and others!! Even in the settings, when I go into this app, I can’t find the notification option. Like, there is only Bluetooth, location, camera, Siri and search, as well as photo. But no notifications while all the other apps have them. Someone please fix this...

Thanks

I just got this watch and maybe it’s something I’m missing but I have the time set to 12 hour clock but when it becomes 12am it goes back to being 0:00 which is kind of annoying. I’ve changed the settings to make them all what I’m used to using in the US and overall it’s good so far but there’s little things here and there that show it’s not really meant to be used in 12 hour clock or with the imperial system. Other than that I haven’t found anything I don’t like so far 🙂

I like using this watch during my spin class
The watch , when it works, says I use more calories then the bikes computer.
I can live with that. What I don’t like is the times that I finish my workout and the watch has not recorded it, or when I work out and get a graph that shows the watch was counting my heart rate, and has registered the time of my workout , but shows zero distance and zero calories.
Please update YFit for apple phones.

Wish it would connect to MyFitnessPal but otherwise a great app, gets to about 57 minutes in exercise timing and freezes and close YFit , losing all data just recorded. So I can’t see my heart rates or even that I worked out.

I was so impressed by the functionality and ease of use of this apps compare to the high end fitness tracker . It would be 6 star if you can make the sleep monitor more define like “ fitbit” and add the time just like you did on hearth rate monitor. Keep up the good work..

Stopped linking with YFit and now I can’t control music from my watch or see the weather on my watch or get message notifications from my watch and I don’t get call notifications on my watch it used to work now it doesn’t bc when I try to add a device it won’t link. YFit shows the watch but everytime I try to link it it just says search again on YFit

I have tried continuously but YFit will not pair with my watch. However, it was to set up. Hopefully, it will pair with my device one day. My device is brand new and works great. I am able to receive messages on my device; it tracks my steps etc. I just wish it would pair so that I could use more of the features.

YFit got an update and it only shows the current weather. Before I was able to view a few days.... can this be fixed? Yes all my settings are correct I double checked

I had a problem with the weather not being accurate, but now it is perfect! FIVE STARS

It was working until a couple of iPhone updates ago. It doesn’t receive texts or calls and I can’t change the watch face. It won’t load any faces not even the current face.

Everything works fine, except every few days the watch time changes by a few hours. The only fix is opening YFit , and it resets my step count to 0.

YFit has some pretty cool features, but it freezes too much. YFit tends to DISCONNECT the watch which makes it totally useless. I tried resetting it. I removed the watch from Bluetooth and now it won’t pair!

The weather of it is always 0, on the smart watch it said connected with YFit , I tried many times, but nothing happened.

There is something wrong with YFit . You can’t choose a watch face

Loved app till new iOS update. After that lost ability to receive texts to my watch.

Bought a smart watch that is to be used with YFit. It is pretty basic but so far so good. Hoping for continued developer updates.

I bought the watch and downloaded YFit . The watch pairs to the phone’s Bluetooth but will not pair with its own app. The 5 star reviews here are clearly written by bots because none of them is written in correct English. YFit is worthless. I’m deleting it and returning the watch.

The night the time changed I also got an iOS update. Since then it’s been hit or miss. Sometimes it doesn’t record any sleep or steps. I have removed and reinstalled YFit and restarted both phone (iPhone 7) and watch (Coulax SN87). I’ve tried both regular and military time formats. It’s still unpredictable. Other functions on the watch seem to be fine, even better with latest this app release. Workouts, blood pressure, oxygen level. It’s mainly the sleep function that doesn’t work consistently.

Can you please add more faces or an app that can ?

I got a watch that asked me to load YFit to connect it to my phone. It’s been 2 weeks of constantly trying to add my watch to YFit and can’t seem to find my watch or even attempt to.

Tried getting more ‘watch faces’ but YFit can not connect to network on cellular or WiFi. Weather doesn’t work either.

Keeps saying network error. I checked all at my end. Restarted phone. Made sure WiFi worked. It is just dead. So far I question the ratings... deeply. Fake???

It is ridiculous you cannot change the clock to 12hr format. Really just a limited watch with a good battery. Waste of $40

YFit is not showing any history of previous heart rate readings.
