Our verdict
Zepp suits people who already own an Amazfit device and want a free app for activity, sleep and heart data plus firmware updates. The trade-offs are its tie to Amazfit hardware, ads according to the Google Play listing, and health data that may be stored and transferred across several regions.
Best for: Amazfit watch, band or ring owners who need the official app to sync and update the device
Skip it if: People without an Amazfit device who want full tracking from a phone alone
Pros
- Free core app covering health, sleep and training tracking plus photo-based meal logging
- Strong ratings: 4.6/5 on the US App Store (over 83,000 ratings), 4.7/5 on the Vietnam App Store, 4.4/5 on Google Play (about 1.42 million reviews)
- Connects to Strava, Google Fit and Relive; the Zepp Store offers hundreds of watch faces and mini apps
Cons
- Most features need an Amazfit device
- The Google Play listing says the app contains ads
All pros and cons · Who is it for?
Cons

- Under the policy, data may sit in China, the US or Germany and be transferred outside your region
Best for
- People who want photo-based meal logging and sleep and recovery tracking without paying for the app

Experience & key features
What Zepp is
Zepp is the official app for Amazfit watches, bands and rings, developed by Zepp Health (formerly Huami). It has been on the App Store since 27 September 2016 and runs on iOS and Android. It syncs data from the device, shows health scores and delivers firmware updates.
Key features
According to the App Store description, the app tracks heart rate, HRV, resting heart rate, sleep, stress, blood oxygen, steps and training data such as pace, distance and strength logs. You can enter blood pressure and blood glucose from other devices by hand, or photograph meals to estimate calories and macros without a watch. The Zepp Store offers downloadable watch faces and mini apps. The Zepp homepage also mentions AI-powered sports and sleep coaching.
Pricing and value
The core app is free, though the Google Play listing says it contains ads. Zepp Aura Premium costs $11.99/month or $69.99/year with a 14-day trial, unlocking unlimited AI sleep assistant use and detailed sleep reports. In September 2024 Android Central reported that Amazfit cut the Helio Ring from $299 to $199 and made Zepp Aura ($69/year) and Zepp Fitness ($29/year) free for life for ring owners. Prices may differ by region, so check the in-app price before subscribing.

Who it is for, versus alternatives
Zepp fits people who own or plan to buy an Amazfit device. If you use a Garmin, Fitbit or Xiaomi device, that ecosystem's own app is the matching choice. Privacy-minded users should read the policy's sections on data storage and transfer before enabling sensitive health features.

Privacy
The Zepp app privacy policy (effective 14 July 2026) lists the health data Zepp processes: heart rate, blood oxygen, ECG, PPG, stress, sleep, weight, body fat, exercise data and, if you use that feature, menstrual cycle data. It says health data is processed with your consent and that Zepp does not sell personal information. Depending on account region, data sits in data centres in mainland China, the US or Germany; it may be transferred outside your jurisdiction to affiliates and service providers, and the policy notes authorities may access it under lawful requests. Data goes to Strava, Google Fit, Relive or WeChat only if you connect them. Access, correction and deletion requests go through the Privacy Support portal.

Why this score
High ratings on both stores (4.6/5 US App Store, 4.4/5 Google Play from about 1.42 million reviews) suggest users are broadly satisfied. The score rests on public ratings, not our own testing.
Why this score
The app tracks heart rate, HRV, sleep, stress and training, offers photo-based meal logging and a Zepp Store. Points are lost because detailed sleep reports sit in the paid Aura tier and the app is mainly useful with Amazfit hardware.
Why this score
The core app is free and Aura is optional; $69.99/year is below Google Health Premium ($99.99/year) and comes with a 14-day trial. Points are lost because the Google Play listing says the app contains ads.
Why this score
Stability is hard to verify from public sources. The app is still being updated (v10.10.5 on 30 Oct 2026 on the App Store) and ratings are good, hence a mid-range score.
Why this score
The policy provides a Privacy Support portal for access and deletion requests. No reliable source rates customer support quality, so the score stays modest.
Why this score
The policy says data is not sold, health data is processed with consent and deletion can be requested. Points are lost because data may be held in mainland China, transferred outside your region and accessed by authorities under lawful requests.
