Also, please add the option to find a lost ring on Android phones. I also really wish that developers would take into consideration female customers who don't have periods for various reasons, but who still have ovaries & would like to learn more about their cycle without constantly being prompted to record a period. I believe it would be so helpful to include my medical history in measuring my vitals, e.g. temperature.
Reviews for Oura
Great overall. It would be great if the heart rate menu with the whole day graph was easier to access on the top portion of the application. Sometimes it is minimized in a drop down menu and all the way at the bottom. During exercise this is a bit annoying to reach sometimes. The widget at the very top does update and brings you to that graph menu when tapped but does not always work the way I feel it could to serve us better.
What started out as a nice and accurate device (far more accurate than anything I had before) has devolved into an inaccurate piece of rechargeable jewelry. It's been a little inaccurate after some updates but I noticed a big difference the past few days. I decided to wear some other tracking devices to compare and noticed this Oura has been underperforming...wildly. I wear the other devices only during my morning workouts and still those devices show better stats this week.
A greedy corporation charging you handsomely for the device and THEN asking you to subscribe by paying a monthly fee to use the app. If you don't pay you get no functionality. Even the basic stuff gets broken and the ring stops syncing your naps. I might be wrong but this does not seem legal in the EU, i.e. blocking the features of the device you purchased unless you pay extra...
I have loved my oura ring overall, but this last update messed up. my ring has a hard time syncing now, it used to do it so easily. I know it's not a connection issue because it will tell me the battery status, but not my data. also, the hearttate and stress readings are way too sensitive now. it's telling me my stress is super high on a normal day. something needs to be fixed there, I can see my hearttate on my Garmin watch all day and it's not that high.
I love that they are always working and improving the data and features. One pain point for me is the stress tracking is very inaccurate compared to my Garmin. I'd also like to see continuous stress tracking and the ability to prioritize it in the algorithm (stress focus). My hope is continuous will better capture my stress, but even still, I am not stressed (physically or mentally) nearly as much as Oura thinks I am.
Inaccurate to the point of not being usable. I have to manually adjust my sleep every day; it thinks I'm sleeping any time I sit on the couch. Only counts about half my steps, but will show high calorie burn for the same periods. I don't trust any of the other measurements because of these. Constantly have go confirm activities I've aleady confirmed. Looking elsewhere for a better device.
I've been an Oura user since Gen 1. I have always loved it and have gotten friends to buy it too. That said the update to the activity logging is cumbersome and inconsistent. Give us the option to manually enter calories from exercise equipment instead of fussing with the predetermined (and often inconsistent) calorie counts. Just let us type it in!!
I have had ring/app about two weeks now. it is great for sleep, activity, HRV tracking. However I wish it could pull in my meal tracking into my timeline. 4 month update: still tracking well. the ring gets annoying on my fore finger especially when wet. I am constantly taking it off & putting it back on or switching fingers. And although they added glucose monitoring into the app which is helpful. The meal tracking is subpar at best. It needs to be updated to be able to track Macros accurately.
Would prefer a tiered membership based on different levels of need. Membership app information is overwhelmingly convoluted. Canceled membership - now at least half the time, only a black screen noting "membership inactive" is all it shows; not even the three numbers appear, maybe one randomly; not that it matters, they're not accurate either, part of the time. Also, sometimes the app won't sync to the ring, states to try putting it on the charger - who would carry that thing everywhere..
