Oura

There was a Question on my mind, how would i know if i have recover from long time stress. And now Oura is working on Resilience...Magnificent Tech... lovely and respectful and creative. :)

I an using my temperature data to correlate whit the temp trends of Oura... findibg the beat chrinitype for each hormonal cycle.

Had the app for a month on the free trial, it just ended and basically all the health insight data is paywalled. Will probably go back to using my old Apple Watch for tracking fitness and sleep or switch over to the Samsung ring that does not require a subscription. Really bummed because I liked it up until this point. I could see charging a subscription if the rings were cheaper but at the current price point charging a subscription to use the device what for it’s designed for seems ridiculous.

The Oura ring and app have several issues that limit its usefulness. 1. If I spend any amount of time sitting quietly either before bedtime or when I get up in the morning, it counts that as sleep. Sometimes, after I have corrected that, it reverts and I don't notice so there are these anomalous and incorrect nights of 10-12 hours of sleep in my history. Therefore, the longer term (weekly or seasonal) analyses aren't very accurate. 2. I need to remove the ring when I mow the lawn or drive long distance, otherwise it counts that as a fairly vigorous or extended workout with no way to correct. Once again invalidating any long term analysis and also the readiness score. 3. The battery only began at around 4 days (not 7 as claimed) and soon was down to 1-2 days. The ring was still under warrenty and was replaced, but when the new ring developed the same short time span I was told the warranty (for the replacement ring) ended at the timeframe for the original ring. So, I charge it every day, which the instructions recommend so I guess they know the battery is quite limited, but like to pretend you're going to get a week at a time. I really only use it to see my hrv when meditating. Even the nighttime hrv is in doubt due to above mentioned inaccuracy gauging when I am asleep.

The hardware and the app both are great, and combined they provide valuable insight unlike any other fitness platform I’ve seen. Excellent and timely analysis - with actionable suggestions. Fantastic product and I hope Oura keeps innovating and adding new features for us! Thanks so much! :)

I absolutely love my oura ring! It’s amazing! But I am SOOO disappointed that they decided to get greedy and started charging $6 per month to access the app. The $400 ring price (which is a lot considering they only last about a year before you have to buy a new one, I’m on my 3rd one in 3 years) isn’t enough, now they are price gauging their customers by sucking them into paying a monthly premium to access the information from the ring on the APP? Greedy and disappointing!

Bring back the split times in running!!!!!

We need the ability to add in a workout for the previous day or two…there have been multiple instances where I was working out and it wasn’t automatically detected and I forgot to add it in later and then it just ended up looking like I was stressed for a few hours.

I can’t believe they swindled me into paying monthly for the app, it’s the only reason I force myself to wear the painful rash-causing oversized ring. Was super disappointed in the sleep tracking which is why I bought the thing, often inaccurate I can wake up 6 times in a night and it counts 1-2. It has temperature capabilities but it doesn’t correlate those graphs with my sleep patterns so I can’t see if that’s why I’m waking up… I really regret buying the oura and the $6/month is just a monthly reminder that it’s not worth it. Cancelled today, finally can throw the ring away 🥳

Putting aside the poor connectivity of the device (two days owned), the app is surprisingly limited for being the “established” and longest existing ring wearable on the market. /—-Deets—-/ The only widget the app offers are on sleep. Making it so that I have to UNLOCK my phone, FIND the app, then DIG out stats from their SUB-menus. If mental wellness really is a goal, they’d offer us the ability to not have to engage with our phones beyond a glance. The app’s landing page is filled with irrelevant how-to’s that CANNOT be swiped away or closed. Worse is that you can’t even organize the position of tiles, or place stats from sub menus on the home page. Upon set up, I’m asked the “gender I was born as”, but still pushed female centric features. This isn’t some anti-female comment, this is coming from myself as a developer. If you’ve gathered information about me upon set up, why not use that to suppress irrelevant features? Best I can tell, it’s throwing every content tile they have available, attaching a “soothing” banner and fluff content just to present itself as a completed/feature-rich app. Ultimately, I’m likely returning and canceling plans to buy one for my partner and mom. The device’s connection issues and the app’s lack of growth (which I’d be paying for yearly?!) only make the case to keep on keeping with a watch. Or until Apple releases their own non-watch wearable or I leap back to Samsung.
