Integrate with iOS Health

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!

I think that any reason not to do this could result in a major loss of feature for FitBit.  If others do integrate and enable this then over time FitBit market share may erode.

 

I have had a FitBit (or three) since Jan 2011 and would certainly love to see my data back cast into the health app.  There is an app out there called Wristband Manager, which of sorts takes the API data from Fitbit and shows it on a graph similar to that of the Health app.  If it is not integrated by the likes of Fitbit, then I am sure some smart person will find a way to act as a intermediary between the API and the Health app.  Still I would have thought this a reasonable priority for Fitbit, especially as they are not actively adding functionality to their own app, it is rather stale now.  On that point, some way to challenge one another other than just steps or in a mass league table would be a welcome addition.

I too am looking for fitbit to provide integration with Apple's new Healthkit.  I love my fitbit flex.  I am also waiting to see what the next fitbit device will be

Please add my vote to those who want Fitbit to integrate with Apple's iOs 8 Health.  I was surprised to see that Fitbit wasn't compatible when iOs 8 was released: I expected you guys to be on the cutting edge of this!

Please integrate with iOS 8 Healthkit. I would have thought this would be a no brainer decision for you, but if you want encouragement from your customers I'm very happy to add my voice to those calling for it.

 

Thanks
