About this version
Updates arrive regularly, and they matter more here than for most apps because firmware delivery, device pairing, and sync all depend on the companion app. The post-acquisition years brought a full redesign and continued consolidation with Google's hardware line, and each big change has landed to a vocal mix of praise and complaint from device owners.
What recent updates focused on
- Deeper integration with Pixel Watch and Google's broader health efforts
- Redesigned interface following Google's Material design direction
- Ongoing rebalancing of which metrics sit in the free tier versus Premium
Our update advice
Keep auto-update on, since device firmware and sync fixes ship through the app. If sync breaks after an update — a recurring complaint on Android — restarting Bluetooth, re-pairing the device, or clearing the app cache resolves most cases before a factory reset is needed.
