The reviews indicate that the story aspect of the app is fragmented and lacks coherence, with users expressing frustration over missing features, syncing issues, and inadequate data tracking. While the app fulfills its basic functions, there is a consensus that it could significantly improve by incorporating more detailed metrics and better integration with other fitness platforms. Overall, the narrative surrounding the app's functionality is one of disappointment and unrealized potential.

- “Amazfit used to sync to Quest 2 and now it doesn't. I also used to be able to edit the length of my workouts for when I forgot to stop the watch, but that feature seems to be gone.”
- “I really don't like the way some graphs are displayed, particularly the weight plot.”

- “Helped me see some areas that I can do better in, and actually using the information has made me feel better.”
