Developer Creates App Exposing Apple Health Sleep Average Calculation Error
By
sigbit
A respectable bake. You'd come back tomorrow for another.
Summary
A developer created an app called 'saverage' that demonstrates how Apple Health allegedly miscalculates sleep averages over six-month periods. The app claims Apple's calculation misses approximately 32 days in the average computation, making users' sleep habits appear better than they actually are. The developer questions whether this is an intentional design choice or a calculation error that hasn't been caught by Apple's quality control.
Key quotes
· 4 pulledThis is a little app that showcases how a multi-trillion company like Apple Inc lies to you about your sleep average over six months to make you feel better.
For some reason the number of days during the six month average calculation is wrongly computed, missing around 32 days, making you feel better about your sleep habits.
I hope so, it's not that hard.
Small app to explain how apple health is messing with you.
