The latest iOS release has introduced an amazing feature on your home screens called widgets. What was missing? Exactly, health related widgets. Not anymore! Introducing Hidgets, your health widgets for your home screen. Select up to 11 different categories to display all your health information the way you want: steps, active energy (calories burned), distance, sleep time, heart rate, resting heart rate, weight, oxygen leves, blood glucose, water and mindful minutes. Select style, mode, source and color, and even what the widgets should open when tapping on them. You can choose up to 11 different layout styles, from small to medium sized widgets, making the combination you want for your home screen. This app uses HeathKit to obtain information about your movement, weight, oxygen levels, blood glucose, sleep and heart beat values, should you consent the app to do so upon launch. Note: the update frequency of the widgets depend on the iOS itself, not controllable by the app. The operating system will decide how often the widgets need to refresh, but you can force refresh them by entering the Hidgets app once and go back to the home screen. If you have any questions or suggestions, please contact me at [email protected] or visit the website https://hidgets.com. Thank you so much for your support! With love from Portugal, Marcel
Updating is slow
Good idea, well designed but flaws. For long term stats it’s not a problem (distance, calories), but for things like HR that require constant updating, the widget is practically useless. It’s reporting HR from minute’s ago when I’m ahead in another HR zone.
Could be better
This app is great, but doesn’t allow you to track TOTAL calories (I.e. the combination of what the Health app refers to as Active and Resting calories). Apple buries this total calories number within the fitness app (see subtext under Move calories in the day overview), but this third-party app is not designed to replicate that number in a widget. This is something that should be easily addressed.
Great app!
Widgets look beautiful.
VO2 Max
I thought you could get all the health data collected by health app. This is a really cool app however just not useful for what I would want. Calculate VO2 Max from health app if you can! Thanks.
Doesn’t work at first - restart your phone
Nice app, didn’t work right when I installed it. I restarted my phone and waited a little while and the widget appeared in my list. But it looks like a very nice app
It works okay
I like having a widgets for certain HealthKit metrics. I wish the interface was more intuitive and I wish you could make medium and large widgets with some sort of combination of metrics.
Seriously?? Is it a scam? Doesn’t work.
Can’t get it to work… no widgets. Can’t even contact them from the website. I think it’s a scam!
Thank for for being so patience on waiting for an update. We have planned a number of releases coming soon, that will cover most of the fixes but also concentrate on adding new features and categories. For this release, we’ve fixed a couple of issues and also are announcing a change on the way widgets are going to be added to your screens. Make sure to take a look at the full update notes on your app. As always, should you have any questions or suggestions, please use the app’s feedback tool to send your message through. And don’t forget to share your review on the App Store, it is what gives me fuel to continue working on updates. Stay tuned for some awesome updates coming soon.
