Usually, yes, because less sensitive data has to leave your phone in the first place. The real advantage is narrower exposure: fewer servers, fewer accounts, and fewer identity-linked datasets sitting outside your direct control.
No. Cloud processing is not automatically bad, and some cloud apps provide useful controls, encryption, and account settings. The key question is whether the extra data sharing is necessary for the features you actually want, such as coaching, sync across devices, social sharing, or remote analytics.
Check three things: whether the app requires an account, what the App Store privacy label says is linked to you, and whether the product depends on server-side coaching or syncing. That quick check tells you more than a marketing slogan about privacy-first design.
