I completely agree! I hate the new graph. At least give me the option to still view my health data in the line graph. I was starting to use the health app more frequently because the interface worked for me but this new update leaves me less inclined to continue, at least with increasing frequency that I did before. Also, I agree that changing things so frequently that you're constantly have to readjust or relearn how to use it was an advantage macs had over pc's... I hope that doesn't change. The new bar graphs may work great for some people, and that's awesome, but at least give those of us who's minds may work a little differently the option to keep the line graph!

This is why I do not like to do the frequent IOS updates. But if I do not update, Apple asks me daily on my screen with no option to say no... only update now or remind me later. So, I give In. The result? Mindless changes like the switch to skinny bar charts in the health app with no option to switch back. Worse yet, past updates screwed up my iTunes playlists. So, I switched to Spotify. Apple is starting to behave like Microsoft.

Quite apart from the graph style change which given the spacing of 7 narrow vertical bars in comparison to the width is difficult to impossible to judge trends or compare days on weekly basis we have to consider two almost indistinguishable shades of of orange. In contrast previously we had an orange background contrasting with a bright orange to near white line. Not that orange is necessarily a good background color anyway. Then we consider the change to steps as the only unit from steps or distance and we have a nearly useless pair of metrics for the everyday user. i suggest the developer goes and tucks themselves up with the a copy of the use-ability guidelines and asks they're line manager hoe this got through QA. BTW I completely understand the phone is not an accurate pedometer.
