The fitness tracking industry is ballooning and, like many of its rival, Samsung is banking on that trend.
Samsung has announced that its feature-tracking app, S Health, is now available on all Android devices.
Until now, S Health has been restricted to Samsung devices only.
However, now a phone or tablet made by any third-party manufacturer can use the Samsung-built app.
Samsung first launched its fitness tracker app on the Play Store earlier this year, although it only worked with a few Galaxy devices running Android 5.0.
The newly updated app will now work with any device running Android 4.4 KitKat or later.
S Health tracks a number of metrics, including activity, calories burned, distance travelled, heart rate, food consumed, caffeine intake, UV exposure, and even oxygen saturation – assuming you have the right sensory tech.
You can set your own goals, view data in graphs and charts, and receive feedback based on your level of activity.

S Health is completely free to download, so you can head over to the Play Store and download it now.
There’s no word yet on an iOS release.
