Integrate with iOS Health

[so-rich]

Hi there,

I'm really excited about Apple's announcement of the Health App in iOS 8 to be release this fall.  I'm looking forward to seeing a product announcement by Fitbit for a successor to the recalled Fitbit Force, and I'm really hoping to hear some exciting news about Fitbits intigration with Apple's new Health App to be released alongside iOS 8 this fall.  

This is a huge oportunity to make your devices even smarter and more integrated - Please support these APIs!  Thanks!

Another vote for Healthkit integration, both read and write access for steps, exercise, sleep, and weight-BMI. This would let iPhones work as portals between all integrated devices, and allow the (IMHO) superior Fitbit software and community to be accessible to all. Garmin, iHealth are already on. Withings has stated it will happen soon.

ETC spelling

Love my fitbit products.  I've bought into the whole ecosystem and am an evangelist for your products.

Your products are fabulous.  Your support is wonderful.

You should be ashamed that this thread even exists.   I too, thought you were already on the list, but your FB page just said no official announcements and referred me to this thread, which is filled with the same disappointment I feel.

Get it together fitbit.  This is an unbelievably ridiculous situation.

Add my vote to the list for integration with the Apple Health app.  I see the 8.0.2 just came out with the fix to the API.

I would love to have the Fitbit app work with iOS 8's Health app!

[Bluejay]

They could update us. Communication is important. That being said, there are only 12 healthkit apps in the App Store.

[Sforshelly]

I'm still hoping the there will be an integration for the HealthKit also.  My vote is yes!

[SunsetRunner]

YES!

iPhone 6 step counts are about 4-5000 out of whack with my Fitbit Flex step count which I of course trust a great deal more. Just adding my voice to the many users hoping to push Fitbit data into the Health app on iOS as soon as possible.

I would like the FitBit app to integrate with Apple's HealthKit on IOS8.  How long will we have to wait for this?  It will put Fitbit at a disadvantage not to have this as many of the other fit apps are doing so.  Right now I have to manually move the data over to make it useful.

please add to Healthkit

A'm looning forward Thatcher fitbit doen Rochester with THE Healthapp on iOS 8

[Jill206]

I'm looking forward to IOS8 integration.  Soon I hope.

Let's just put it this way: Jawbone has already announced they will integrate with HealthKit. I'm not sure why you're polling your customers. Just do it! The customers who are waiting for it will be deeply grateful.

I would love to see an integration with the health app from apple. 

Also, I see the health app to be a central hub for al health related data, linking fitbit would then help it and also help fitbit itself to gain more data more easily. 

Also for us the users, it would be easier to only have to connect with one app, than different services separately. 

[daveofnorway]

It is a must do. I am waiting for the fitbit app to update with healthkit support.

[Alessio]

I'd really like to have an integration with the health app in iOS 8. If this won't happen soon I think I'll change device with one with iOS8 Health support!

So many apps already have done the integration... why Fitbit has so many problems? Is there something related with the PREMIUM features? With iOS 8 and the integration with Health the download feature will become useless...

Please do the integration!

[SunsetRunner]

Yes +1!!!

Hating that I have to send my Fitbit data out to another app which already supports HealthKit just to get full functionality 

[simon82]

edenday92, what app are you using!?

I don't know if the focus on these forums. I've always gotten great customer service when I email them. So I emailed them asking for a status update on HealthKit integration and a repl for the Force.

[Bluejay]

12 isn't that many…

[CatsEye]

I just love my FitBit device and it would be ashame if I would have to replace it with another tracker just to get integration with HealthKit. We saw the same trend in the domain of heart monitors when Polar just didn't want to support the Mac OSX platform nor open their data to other applications. Hence... I wear now a beautiful Garmin device. Please add Health Kit support to your great devices, so we can choose which app to monitor the data.

[gutsma]

I would greatly appreciate seeing fitbit sync with apple's HealthKit.  Not doing so seems like a huge step backwards for fitbit.  As a loyal fitbit user, I'd seriously consider looking elsewhere when it became time to replce my flex.   

[aedavey]

Agreed. Hope this happens soon. 

[WIAngel]

The team at FitBit need to send a mass email newsletter update to its members on this. I know that Apple originally pulled all the integrated apps (due to a bug) but everything should be fixed now. It's sad that I can see all MyFitnessPal data but can't get my FitBit data on HealthKit.

Hey Moderators... can someone give us an update with an ETA?

[NuttyNina]

PLEASE integrate the Fitbit app with Apple's HealthKit, looking forward to this with GREAT anticipation!!!
