This App is a plugin service. It uses sensors, location to record data from smart watches straight to your phone, TV or Tablet. It does not give information to 3rd parties to gather data. It is purely for you to use, operate and monitor your digital wellbeing. I use a smartwatch through the App to check my heart rate, blood pressure, Water levels and even records my sleeping patterns. Records your steps walked daily. Perfect for long distance runners and fitness fanatics.

DJBulford08, 2024-06-15I just remembered one thing after reading a load of ratings I had transferred my old data from my old phone from the smart switch a few years ago and that is where the ant+ came from and I was unable to remove it after the smart switch I have the s20 ultra 5g now but I did the transfer from a galaxy s7. And now it is saying I can uninstall it that could be a plausible explanation for the random appearance when it's updating or if you connect to something and not even realised that it required it
