Withings Health Mate app review: track various markers of health to keep your mind and body in great shape 2021

Reviews

Introduction

Health Mate offers a comprehensive iPhone health app that enables you to measure and monitor various health markers such as your weight, activity levels, heart rate, and quality of sleep. This all helps you to cover your bases and safeguard a long and healthy life for you and your family.

I’ve been trying to decide whether or not to brand this health app as being just another health and fitness tracker, but I think the unique interface design and optional integration of various measurement tools and devices could make Health Mate far more appealing than many of its counterparts.

For more details on the features and functions of this good health app for iPhone and iPad, check out our Withings Health Mate app review below.

A Step Above the Rest?

First off, I’d like to praise this app for the level of functionality because it doesn’t just provide an input method for metrics such as your body weight; it enables you to actually use other apps and Withings devices in conjunction with Health Mate to streamline the process.

You can use Withings scales, activity trackers, and blood pressure monitors to get the very most accurate reports on each health marker. This single-branded approach, despite being somewhat of a marketing ploy for Whitings, definitely offers a more comprehensive and accurate system of measurement.

Options and Features

I really like the way you can set up goals for yourself and continually update your figures whilst receiving motivational messages to keep you eager to weigh-in and track your progress.

Tracking progress objectively in the field of health is a great way to provide a bit of accountability because the numbers don’t lie - it’ll soon become apparent if you’ve started slacking!

Whitings Health Mate is designed to be used by the whole family, so you can input the details of other users to track their weight, activity, sleep, and so on too.

Final Words

Every time I review an app, I like to assess it based on its own merit, but health, fitness, and activity trackers have become superfluous in the App Store. I like to evaluate examples of “tired” app concepts with a little more scrutiny to see if they bring anything new to the table.

In the case of Whitings Health Mate, I’d definitely see there is some value here, and for those of you who already own Whitings apps and devices, this is almost certainly a must-have resource which will enable you to pool together the functionality of your other tools in one convenient place.

I think the navigation could be a little more streamlined because I’m still uncovering features which I didn’t initially notice, but apart from that, this is a great app which I would highly recommend to anyone who is becoming increasingly health-conscious.
