Oura's app gets a major update - here's what's new

Oura Ring 4 has officially launched, and with it comes a redesign of the Oura app To streamline important health information and make the app easier to navigate, Oura has rearranged everything and added several useful new features

The refreshed Oura app is available for both Android and iOS devices and is a companion app to the brand's popular Smart Ring line Owners of previous generations of Oura Rings, including the best smart ring, the Oura Ring 3, will benefit from a refreshed app, new tools, and expanded metrics

Of course, they will need to become subscribers for $599/month

The new Oura app makes it easier than ever to view both current and long-term health trends by placing information on one of three tabs: Today, My Health, and Vitals

The “Today” tab provides an overview of relevant real-time health indicators, and the information changes depending on the time of day and the user's health goals; within the Today tab, users can find scores for overall measures such as readiness, sleep quality, physical activity, menstrual cycle, stress, heart rate

The Vitals tab provides a more detailed look at the data that factors into the above scores Meanwhile, the new “My Health” tab is designed to drill down into long-term wellness trends with insights on cardiovascular health, stress resilience, and sleep quality

In addition to streamlining the Oura app, it now offers three new features including improved automatic activity detection, fertility insights, and daytime stress

Automatic Activity Detection is tailored to recognize everyday body moments, not just dedicated exercise, and provides users with heart rate and heart rate zone data when elevated excursions are detected This could be while gardening, loading groceries indoors, or roughhousing with the dog

Fertility Insights, a new addition to Oura's Cycle Insights, helps users who are trying to conceive better understand when they are fertile, for example by predicting ovulation dates Finally, Diurnal Stress is a new tool that combines activity and stress data to show how the two correlate over time

Oura Ring 4 is available for pre-order today (October 3) However, Oura Ring 3 users can try the updated Oura App now To download the latest version, visit the Apple App Store or Google Play Store

The app update will not necessarily appear at the same time for everyone, so keep checking back if you don't see it right away; Oura said it is a global rollout, so hopefully you'll get it soon!
