Q: Health in iOS 10 not showing graphs

Just updated to iOS 10 this morning and really not liking the "improvements" to the Health app.  Instead of being able to see a dashboard of all measurements I have chosen in a list of graphs that I can view by week, month or year, they now have all the data subdivided by type of measurement and to get to each one you have to dive deep with lots of taps to see each one.  And you can't see an overview of all of them at one time.  Why would they do that!!  It has turned a useful app into basically useless for me. Other than acting as a passthrough to get data from Withings Pulse to LoseIt app, for example, it no longer serves any purpose for actually giving insight into health.  Really disappointed!

iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 10

    I have the same issue. I really dislike the kindergarten finger painting on the first page of the "new, improved" app. Why would you take something so useful, and screw it up so badly? This was by far the most used app on my iPhone 6s. I added stuff to it at least three times a day and checked it to see how well I was doing (my doctor liked it too).  The least they could have done was allow you the option of seeing all the graphs of your favorites on the page where they show today's statistics.  Seeing all the complementary statistics on one page was great.  Having to swipe several times to see each graph is not cool.

     

    As you can tell this really steams me.  Enough that I won't be upgrading to the new iPhone 7 or the new Apple Watch2. The app I use the most would still suck on the new hardware.

     

    And I did ask Apple support for help - none forth coming.  And I did leave a feedback note for all that's worth.

    Pick a category such as iOS 10. As long as you explain the request in detail, they will understand.

    I am also not upgrading to a iPhone 7 or Watch 2! Screwing up Health is the reason. My favorite app is now a useless icon within my Apple folder.

     

    I'm so upset that I'm not letting my wife upgrade to ios10 because I don't want her to not be able to use the good Health app.

     

    next phone is not going to be an apple and will be saving my Macmini. I'm tried of apple screwing everything.

    That really sounds as if it should be her decision, not yours.

    No one here really cares what phone you chose. However, it should be noted that changing to another brand of phone won't get you Health back.

    Very disappointing. I'm another user who has gone from a useful app I used on a daily basis to a worthless icon that never gets clicked now.

     

    SUCH a bad "upgrade".

    I totally agree. Perhaps the final insult is that I prefer to see the results for the last month, but the new app immediately forgets this and reverts to the weekly display.

     

    I think Apple doesn't really know how people are using the Health app and the design is left up to a amateurs that are just winging it. Or, more sinisterly, the app is just there to promote all the other health monitoring apps they are nagging us with.

    Or, Apple has a different idea about how it should be used than you do. It was definitely originally pitched as a way to sync data between various health related apps. I see this new version as a step away from that, making it more of a standalone app that isn't reliant upon third party apps for display of data. The fact that it doesn't display data the way you want doesn't mean there's no plan behind it.

    If there is a plan, it must include making it much more difficult to enter data. For months, I opened the Health app and saw a list of my favorite items with a month's worth of graph showing, I could then click each item and then click to enter a new value.

     

    Now the favorites display only shows a week's graph for values that I have already entered for today and I have to search the various categories to find each item and add a value.

     

    (I also can no longer record my Blood Pressure, because I get so angry at the app that it invalidates the measurement.)

    That certainly conforms with the way Apple had originally pitched the HealthKit ecosystem: as a conduit.

    If you let yourself get that agitated by your phone, your issues go beyond anything Apple can help you with.

     

    Best of luck.

    Is there another independent app out there that syncs with health data and shows the full set of measurements as graphs like dashboard used to?

     

    I even looked into if Excel for iOS can import heath data.

     

    Apple did this with podcasts before too... I trusted them, got used to listening to podcasts with their app, then they changed the interface and I just switched to Downcast.

     

    I have a folder on my iPhone with all the Apple made apps that I don't trust to use anymore.
