Promising but fails to deliver

I was excited about the rust band and this app. But it failed to deliver in few ways.
1- As someone pointed out here the app counts arm movement as steps. Which is ver lousy. I like playing sports (bball/soccer) to reach my goals, so the app/firmware not understanding the difference between arm movements and steps is sad. Not sure if the same is true for other premium products. Luckily, I was able to find a way around this...keep reading (or go to end)
2- I was more disappointed to find out the app doesnt know what date it is--it is 1 week behind. So all summaries and weekly data are always showing 0. Simple error but still frustrating.

3. I bought two of theses products, the integer one se m to work ok. I was looking around and the issue has to do with the firmware. My firmware is 10 versions behind (this could become even security issue), and despite the seemingly available feature in the app, I was unable to update the firmware...in fact, it is impossible to click on update firmware as it is not responsive.

Now to the solutions:
I was able to fix the first two issues (or I think I did), by allowing the app write to my health app on my I phone. When I do this, my health app shows me a more reliable count than the app or my rosy band shows me. Even when the rust band/app claims I have made much more steps. In fact at times after basketball games, I saw that the steps I had taken was reduced to 80% of what was claimed by my rust band or this app.

This are issues you should fix!
