Is this a place where I might get help with my Fitness Wrist Band and apps. If not, where?

Welcome. That depends on if a member here knows the answer. 
There are a lot of smart, helpful folk here, so why don't you give some detail as to what you are experiencing and so someone can try and help.
Also, is this a phone question or is the band something else?

Thankyou for responding. My issue is with the MiBand Fitness Band on my wrist and the apps on my Phone which work with it. The problem is that the 3 apps I use give substantially different results for what they read from the Band, in particular with regard to SLEEP duration. This inconsistency casts doubt on the usefulness of the Band and I do not know which of the 3 is ''right'. The 3 apps are ZeppLife, Notify for Mi Band, and Mi Band Master --- all from Play Store. I have not checked yet but even more concerning will be if the HEART RATE readings are inconsistent!
So these are 4 different apps made by 4 different developers.
Unfortunately each one will give you different results, so it will be trail and error on each

just curious as to how inconsistent are they? are they even close? and you are only measuring sleep duration? i would only trust the one that you are supposed to use with the watch, the MI Fit app ....but that is me.

Frequently the results are not at all close, the 3 apps may show sleep duration is
twice the number of hours such as 3 hrs in one app and 6 hrs or even more in another. Usually Notify has the lowest figure, Zepp the highest, Master in the middle --- but even that is not consistent. I do not think this is a minor disparity and if it is regarded as 'acceptable it renders the Band much less useful than expected. It will not be worth buying again.
