It won't sync anything. There should at least a button to press to sync. App doesn't make any sense. I know it is in beta, if the main function is to sync between apps then it should at least do that.
Wluet another "system app" forced on users who have absolutely no intention of ever using it. Why can't I uninstall a pointless app from MY device? For an app described as " a way to securely send health data between apps respecting your privacy" it is quite ironic that it is linked to a Google account, sends data to Good (analytics etc) & your own app information says the "developer does not provide any way to delete your data".
Last tried 8/15/22, I got a Galaxy Watch 5 Pro, use both Samsung Health & Google Fit on it. Syncs fine with Samsung Health, I tried health connect to sync over to Google Fit (which it now does even without this to an extent). Made no difference as it doesn't sync so its functionality is still broken. I will keep the app for now but it's literally useless. Its feature setting is enabled in both apps but it just simply doesn't work. If you're new, don't bother at this point, wait till beta ends.
Seems to work well moving data from Fitbit to Fit. Would be nice to have a refresh on demand type button though since sometimes it lags behind by a few but it's great being able to review my data using both apps as they both have stengths and weaknesses about how the calculate and shot the data.
