The Samsung S Health app is an all-in-one health and fitness tracker that's available on all Android phones running on version 4.4 or higher. With this app, users are able to track daily activities, monitor their heart rate and make use of Samsung's built-in sensors and wearables to enhance the kinds of data they can log.
The most recent update to the Samsung S Health system introduces social features that will help app users to push themselves to compete against others who rely on the S Health. Rather than leaving users feeling overwhelmed by a global leaderboard, Samsung makes it possible for users to compare their own step counts with others from the same age group or friends who are also using S Health.
