Basis Peak Fitness and Sleep Tracker App Reviews

The watch works fine AFTER the first complete charge. Before the first complete charge, the battery wouldnt last more than 3 hours and the touchscreen was not responding. The heart rate tracking is pretty impressive and the ability to set an alarm with vibrations is perfect. The app is missing a widget for the todays dropdown menu and the graphic menu should be easier to navigate. Maybe by replacing the arrows button for a simple sliding graphic. I recommend this product!

The features available in the app work but theyre minimal. I was hoping to get a bit more out of the watch. Theres no iPad version so we get a streched iPhone version on the iPad.

The latest firmwear update has made the sync with Apple health all screwy. My watch claims I made 16,000 steps yesterday, but only 9,000 are on Apple health. The new data in the app is better, but still a pain to try to read.

The app consumes too much battery. I tried to close the app but even so the battery is consumed in no time! a big step back compared to version 1.10.0

I just updated the Basis Peak app and now I cant sync it with my watch it crashes its a mess I really love this watch I just wish it wasnt so buggy please fix as soon as possible or use this watch every day

The app on iPhone is not very intuitive. Hard to review the data. Today the watch started vibrating and wouldnt stop. It wasnt responding to a restart command so all I could do is wait for the battery to die.

Was begging for apple health since last year! Pleasantly surprised you listened to the heavy users and made this possible for us. Keep it up. This update got me all excited again.

Love the new features! Keep it up. Playground is awesome

iPhone 6 plus battery life decreases from 2 days to half a day. Absolutely normal use and always kept phone near the peak.

First I want to start by saying I love basis. I started by having Basis B1 and just upgraded to the Basis Peak last month. Unfortunately it looks like the software in the B1 was better. For instance the peak told me I only slept for 4 hours when I know I slept for 6 and a half. Also the peak recorded that I woke up for a half hour around midnight. When that didnt happen at all. Another problem that I am having with the peak is the charting tab. In my opinion I think I should be able to scroll left and right. I am unable to do so in charting and instead have to click the left and right arrows. This causes the chart not to show me some of my data on the app. I am able to see all of my data if I log into the web site. My third complaint is that sometimes when I receive a text message on my phone it does not show up on my watch. (Note I do make sure the app is open). My last complaint is that photo finish has never asked me to take a photo. I have gone into playground to make sure photo finish is on. Overall I do like basis but I hope they improve these issues I have addressed above.

All I could say this watch and all are much much better than the review described in amazon or YouTube. I am not saying that they were not correct or did negative review on purpose. But I am saying this watch has been greatly improved since it realized although not perfect. 1. Still did not have the slient alarm. I really do not want to put the big iPhone beside my pillow while sleeping. As a former Fitbit user, the oldest version of Fitbit has this feature. 2. Sometime because of my sleeping is very light. Then the tracker treat as several napping instead of one sleep period. Otherwise, nothing to compliants.

I wasnt very impressed with the original Basis. The Peak however, is in a league all its own. The Peak is hands down the best health and activity tracker currently available. The app now integrates with Health kit on iOS devices which then syncs up with apps like My Fitness Pal. I cant wait to see where they take this app and device next.

I owned the Basis 1 and 3 Fitbits. I need an accurate HR monitor (I have afib) and the Basis Peak is THE BEST! The pedometer is not as satisfying as the Fitbit models, but I believe it is better and also more accurate. The updated features keep getting better and better! It has a very sturdy construction. I love this product!! Basis Customer service has always been super helpful and I will look forward to what is coming next!

You know you have a great product when you see them making regular updates. First, text/email/calendar notifications. Second, stopwatch feature. Third and Im sure not for last, they just added alarm feature. Theyre great !!!

The distance tracker feature under the geolocation section of the playground section of the app will not turn on. So the whole point of this update is pointless. Get it together guys! Dont you even test your updates before publishing them??

These last few months, the BP, has gotten so much better. It has all the information you need to see where you are and what you need to do, for improved personal fitness. The bicycling portion is very good.

I found mine new for $150 on Amazon so Im happy about that. Ive worn it for 2 weeks now and it does everything pretty well. Pros: Its comfortable to sleep with. It currently can send all notifications from your phone. Battery life is a good 4-5 days. Cons: The screen goes a lil nuts in the shower if you cycle through the windows. It wont pick up cycling for 5-10 mins after doing so. The heart rate may be slightly inaccurate, ex. Sitting and standing sometimes is around 100 or higher when I know thats not right. In the future id like to see the ability to change the watch face. Like different ways to see the actual time. And an output for skin temperature would be cool. It has a sensor for it so why not see that in real time too? Hope this helps any potential buyers

Some developers are also great UI designers but most are not. Unfortunately, this app looks and feels like it was designed by "left brain" engineer nerds fascinated by a concept and their own genius for having the idea. Sure theres a lot of data and yes we data-holics like that it exports but onscreen its all organized in a way that shouts overthinking — almost like it was designed by people who sit behind a computer all day. Hhm. It lacks the big text, streamlined simplicity of apps like Fitbit or Microsoft Health. Its even worse than the surprisingly teeny tot, cluttered, poorly designed dashboard of Health Kit from apple - who are usually great at design. All the text is small and a LOT of space is devoted to things that dont matter - like the diamond icons that hog up space that would otherwise allow data to be larger. The idea of summarizing and having to drill down to see more detail is way underused here. The dashboard - well - isnt. More of an afterthought. The key dashboard data is squeezed into the top of the screen to make room for "habit" data which you can tell Basis developers are thrilled with themselves over because it dominates the app. On that note Habits might be a cute concept but there are a lot of "baby step" goals that force you to spend time in app management rather than just being active. For example: theres a morning lap, afternoon lap and evening lap. Getting past the nonsense aspect, you cant set goals for all three at once so you can set it and forget it. You have to "earn" each one which causes you to spend too much time fidgeting with the app and the app spending too much time bothering you. Great if you havent left your couch since high school but way too fussy for those whove already embraced the idea of daily activity. I dont object to beginner coaching features but engineer nerds provide no flexibility to opt out and just set daily goals. The habit game should be something you drill down to see or have a setting to play or not but instead it dominates everything. I just want to see my summary data (steps, heart, workouts, Sleep), set daily goals and forget about it. If I tap something a chart and maybe an ability to edit if I see something wrong. Its really not that complicated or it least it shouldnt be. On the positive, I do want to say thanks that it does play well with others. I love that it allows Mapmyfitness to use the heart rate monitor and that it also shares all its data with HealthKit.

I dont go through life thinking about the previous few minutes of my day. And yet this app (basis peak and the Apple Health summations) seem mostly aimed at analyzing teeny blocks of time. Why must my nights sleep be spread between two days? I dont reflect on my nights sleep in before midnight and after midnight segments. Maybe a month isnt long enough for me to find the magic in its design. So far the uptake of data seems to be its design strength. Still I have not found a construct that shows me what all those data streams are. Only the first 4.

After installing the new software I can no longer connect to my Basis Peak from my iPhone. Ive tried restarting, forgetting the device, etc. to no avail. Useless update!
