I want to know which companion app do you use for your Mi Band. All these apps are supported for the Mi Band (including Xiaomi Wear and Zepp). If you want a guide to connect your Mi Band to Zepp or Xiaomi wear, you can comment about it.

Mi Fit with Google Fit. No real reason to have GFit, but it's synced to my Google Account which is nice.
Have you seen some crazy daily cal total in Gfit too? (Requires automatic minute resolution)
Oh yeah that's cool
Cool yeah but is the DAILY cals accurate from your experience with mi + google fit?
Oh I have absolutely no idea. I have been just following LoseIt's recommendation for my diet plan and I'm down from 225.9 -> 220.6 in September.
I use notify so I can make custom watch faces :)
I’m no surprised google fit not in the picture, but is it the only app that can provide total daily caloric expenditure from heart rate data ( minute resolution)?
Someone suggested Zepp , but can’t find it there.
The google fit daily cals estimates are terribly wrong ranging upto 6000 (!) when my personal history max is 4500 ( 1m85 80kgr ) from Fitbit. The HBR data seem to be read ok from mi5.
Notify and Mi Fit
I use Notify. Back on MiBand2 3-4 years ago I tried MiFit(garbage), MiBand and Tools(couldn't get notifications to work properly), Mi Bandage (had promise but at the time wasn't standalone), and Notify & Fitness (now named Notify for Mi Band). Notify won the battle of tests and I purchased pro version. Been using it ever since on MB2, MB3 and MB4. I didn't get MB5 as the upgrade wasn't worth the cost. I will be getting MB6 just waiting for cost to go down or a sale. Just hasn't happened yet.
Xiaomi wear is utter garbage
Like I'm baffled at how bad the app is. I wish xiaomi would continue improving the mi fit app
So it follows right behind MiFit which is also garbage?
Surprising not, having Fitbit fail in year, I’m not inclined to repeat. The accuracy for HBR during sports is spot on with other bands I tested.
I particularly like the weather temp and wind data always on display, kudos to mi5.
Thé mi app is not good on iPhone at least. Design and ux ui are seriously lacking.
