    Which would be the best app to work with s health and gear fit to help manage my medications peak flow, oxygen saturation and bp (entered manually or bluetooth) without needing different apps for each one. need to log measurements and compare graphs including times of doses and before and after readings against activity over time….its difficult have respiratory and mobility issues while needing to monitor effectiveness of new respiratory meds.

      Including menstral cycles in logs, temperature, mood, anxiety (not just stress) blood sugar, these are all primarily journaling/logging and graphing data which im sure wouldnt be too complex for developers to include……. would also get a thumbs up even if as separate modules integrated in s health like lark

    Ok better explained…..wish list for additional s health modules

    – oxygen saturation and peak flow (respiratory function)
    – blood pressure
    – medication reminders and recording of multiple doses and medications
    – pain/symptom/asthma check (there are surveys with scores) etc medical journal
    – blood sugar
    – fertility – weight temp cycles symptoms tracked/compiled
    – mood tracker, include agitation and anxiety any number of mental health orgs would put their hand up to include their beta apps/research eg NIMH, beyond blue, black dog institute, international bipolar foundation,

    Would build an awesome true health suite

    My wife has somehow gotten her s5 stuck in kids mode. She claims she was never prompted to setup a pin or alternate password, which kids mode asks for in order to exit. How do we exit kids mode without either?

    I am wondering if in order to use the pedometer on S Health if I need to wear my phone on an arm band or keep it in my pocket or how I need to wear it to keep accurate steps.
