Bellabeat Wellness Coach App Reviews

Such a tease! The app and Leaf worked for the first few days I had them - just long enough to get excited about the possibilities. But then the sleep tracking functionality stopped working - my sleep is at 0 every night, although the activity tracker still kept recording numbers. Then the app stopped syncing to the Leaf - it connects and starts syncing, but then either gets stuck there forever, or if it makes it to processing, just a few more moments, it gets stuck there forever. Have tried over 20 times in the last 10 days, no success. Looked for an app update - nothing. I tried to be patient - theyre new! - and wrote to help by email (the in-app help option has a number of bugs, most notably that after you write your message there is no Send button!), but I have received no reply after a week. So now all I have is a piece of bulky jewelry - which I am still wearing 24-7, hoping it will spring back to life! After waiting a few months for it to ship, this was seriously disappointing. I rarely leave bad reviews, but wanted to warn others to save them the same disappointment :(

I have had my leaf for just over a week now and here is an honest account of how it has been for me. I like the versatility of how you can wear it, and I also dislike the versatility. 1. Worn as a clip on the waistband - good for when you are doing the breathing exercises (which I really like because they do help to relax you) or for sleeping (assuming you dont sleep nude) but depending on the type of waistband, it will sometimes fall off when you go to use the bathroom. And you never know when it will until it has happened. Ive almost lost it in the toilet a few times. (Also then it falls on the floor which can be gross if out in a public bathroom, but you also risk damage to the leaf) 2. Worn as a clip on my bra/shirt - no issues while going to the bathroom, stays put and is fairly comfy. The downside is that when I take off said bra or shirt I sometimes forget it is there and then have to hunt it down later in a mild panic, fitness at this time is not being tracked. 3. Worn as a bracelet - good option if you are not doing anything that causes it to be in the way (ie: dishes, gardening) and are using it as an accessory only. It can be a little bulky depending on what size your wrist is, but looks nice. Good for sleeping, but does not track sleep properly. 4. Worn as a necklace - this is a good all around option except I found it did not track my sleep well when worn this way. I did find that because it is a little bulky, doing anything that involves a lot of active movement like running and jumping, will cause it to flop around on your chest. I made the chain that came with it able to fit through both fasteners on it so it could be worn horizontally across my chest rather than hang down vertically and this made it more secure and more comfortable for me. It seems to keep a fairly accurate count of my steps, but the sleep tracker is sometimes a little bit off and the fertility tracker (for me) is the biggest issue. It only tracks ovulation based on your estimated period and not by basal body temperature. This means that the day it says you are ovulating may not actually be the day you ovulate, especially for women who have really long or irregular cycles or for women who have come off of hormonal birth control. (Ovulation can take months or even years to return after the use of hormonal birth control, and the return of periods dont indicate ovulation) And for those who are trying to become pregnant, this can also be an issue, especially if they have been trying with no success. (In which case I would highly recommend researching the fertility awareness method before considering yourself infertile. "Taking charge of your fertility" by Toni Weschler is a great book for this. Sorry for the plug, but it cleared up a lot of questions I had regarding my cycles and my own fertility. Especially after having been on hormonal birth control for years.) All in all, I like the breathing exercises and the step counter, the look of the leaf itself is very nice, the easiness of the app is great but the versatility of how it can be worn is both a positive and negative for me, but unfortunately a little bit more on the negative. Like 45/55 pos to neg. simply because in between switching it around and the few times I lose it in the house I also lose fitness data, and have almost lost it to a watery porcelain grave a few times. If you are looking for a basic step counter and a nice piece of jewelry, then the leaf is great, however I would not recommend it for any type of serious ovulation tracking, even if you have regular cycles. Also you can buy cheaper step counters, cheaper jewelry that is less bulky and there are free ovulation/period tracking apps. Also, I am now finding that it is not tracking my sleep properly unless I wear it only on my waist band at night, which is annoying because I ( upcoming tmi, sorry) do like to sleep nude. Thinking of sending it back.

After waiting for months I was very disappointed in this tracker. It does not track steps inside house and is very inaccurate outside. The sleep tracker quit working right after a week or so! I have either a clunky piece of jewelry or an expensive pedometer . Customer service very slow.A better app is promised but I am not too sanguine after so many disappointments.

For a company that was responsive before I got my leaf all I am left with now is a pretty necklace. The promised bracelet did not ship and no matter what I did to connect the leaf it has not worked. Even a full phone reset. I have even downloaded this app three times! I was really looking forward to this and told so many friends. If the company doesnt get it to work and to date I havent heard anything back from them then I will be telling everyone that this doesnt work at all!!!

I have only used the LEAF for a couple days now and so far I think it is pretty good. I did not receive the promised bracelet with my order but have contacted the company and hope it will arrive soon. The accuracy has not been spot-on but it gives me a good general idea of my sleep and activity patterns. Since it is a relatively new product and app I hope there will be improvements, new features and bug fixes to come. It would also be great if it could sync with other health apps such as Apple health or MyFitnessPal. So far I am enjoying my LEAF and at least it is very pretty!

Just an expensive pedometer. You can download other free apps that do more than this. Things I like: -prettier than the Fitbit -accurately tracked steps -breathing exercises were nice Things I didnt like: -didnt accurately track sleep (if you get up to go to the bathroom and then go back to bed it doesnt continue your sleep but considers you awake) -period tracker has no room for additional data (only pull comparable, not for patch or allows you to enter extra data) -nothing for nutrition so still need to download another app for that -found it to be too heavy to wear as a necklace comfortably and too thick to clip nicely with some tops -too expensive for what you buy -doesnt allow you to compare data (I.e. Steps) to compete with friends or any sort of communication with other members -sometimes doesnt sync Overall I would suggest buying a different device and savings your money. I enjoyed the Fitbit better despite how it looked.

The alarms are a pretty nice feature. Up to three are available plus the inactivity alarm. I can set the sensitivity of the inactivity alarm and it motivates me to get up for a few minutes each time it vibrates on the LEAF device… Heard there’s rumours that the app will also work without the device. But I think it’s great to have both for the complete experience.

I like that you wear the leaf on your clothing instead of on your wrist like other devices. I like that it tracks sleep and seems to track steps well. But I dont like that every single time I want to check my data I have to double tap the LEAF it self in order to sync. My Bluetooth is constantly on, both the phone and the leaf, so I feel like when I open the app and push the sink button that should be enough. I dont always have my hands free in order to double tap to leave to sync. Although this may seem trivial, I dont like having to do it every time.

Love the leaf. I get a lot of compliments on it as jewellery. I like that it tracks my sleep and activity, it is getting more accurate over time. I would like more app features such as being able to share or upload data, chart of data by week or month. And a function to track mood, stress or add comments each day. I like the breathing exercises and alarm function.

So it keeps skipping days, itll just not record for a couple days and then go back to working. :/

I love my leaf! Its so nice knowing how well my sleep was and how many steps Ive taken throughout the day! The only thing Id say is maybe have an option to write notes on breathing/steps/sleeping, so I could go back and read what I really felt or did that day! :)

Ive had the Fitbit HR and now have the leaf and I prefer the app for the Fitbit HR and regret giving it to my husband. Would be nice if the app was more like Fitbit. I have to rose gold leaf and Im not really impressed considering I paid the same amount

Right now, LAME! The sleep is the most disappointing so far. I went to bed at 7pm last night. It gets my sleep time wrong every single night so I have to manually adjust. Well, it said I went to sleep at 9pm, I went in to edit, and wtf? I cant put it any easier than 9pm? Then it tells me I didnt get enough sleep! And the wake up buzz? Are you kidding me? Thats the alarm? I do not feel that. So I keep a separate alarm set, that makes sound and has a snooze. Cause thats how you wake up in the morning! Ill keep my rating at 1 star til this gets better.

Its ok. Wish it had more features (like the ability to add more than one start and stop times for sleeping--part of the reason i got the leaf was to track my sleep because I have issues sleeping). Also, it would be nice if it were more like a Fitbit and could track your heart rate and steps taken. It doesnt actually do much haha Hopefully theyll just add cooler and cooler features.

It tracks our sleep and feeds back to us.Its useful for man who often sleep late.good

With this app, we can get much useful information. Because it can reads all the captured data from our LEAF device and translates it into useful data. So it can brings us much ease.

I really enjoyed using it, its very useful

Has worked flawlessly until yesterday where it got stuck on downloading and now over 24 hours later I still cant use it!

This new update seems to be frozen for me. I get to the home screen and it wont let me click anything or update on anything. It has made the app unusable for me.

The new version of the software doesnt work at all for me? I am updated on the software for my phone but it still wont work. Hope this gets fixed soon!!
