App recommendation?

[irishangelmum]

Hi all!  I need a recommendation duration for an iOS app that can track my distance, time/speed, and etc and send it to my Fitbit.  I push a stroller when I walk and my Flex doesn't do a good job at all tracking steps in this situation.   I took a 6.5 mile walk today and the Flex picked up on only a little over a mile.   Right now I'm using MapMyWalk, but have to manually enter the data and I don't get any very active minutes when I manually enter the data.  I should also add that I use MFP and have tried syncing MapMyWalk to MFP, which is synced to my Fitbit, but then nothing shows up on my Fitbit account... no steps, nothing related to the activity.  So, what app do you all recommend that integrates well with Fitbit?  That will allow steps and distance to by synced and allow active minutes to be credited. Thanks!

I have Runkeeper synced to MFP, which is inturn synced to Fitbit and everything transfers through. I still get steps counted (counted by my Force) and I get accurate times, distances, heartrates, and calories burned (as recorded by my HRM and Runkeeper).

I use Endomondo for biking, but it has a walking option as well and will show duration, speed and you can see on a map the exact course you walked. One thing that I found is you should not connect Endomondo to your MFP account. Just connect it to your Fitbit account. Otherwise, MFP will send the same walking info to your Fitbit account that Endomondo already did.

Patruns, do you see accurate reflection of very active minutes when you link Endomondo and Fitbit?

To be honest, I haven't logged an activity in Endomondo yet.

Active minutes are tracked by Fitbit. I don't know about Endomondo, but syncing Runkeeper for time/distance/calories doesn't change step count or active minutes in Fitbit...at least mine doesn't.

It does log your run in the same as if you manually logged it, no? And counts the calories burned?

Mostly. MFP rounds times to the nearest minute and doesn't seem to accept/transfer distance which makes a little more work for me. I really care about that information in my Runkeeper so it's not too big of a deal. Otherwise yes, activites show up in Fitbit through the syncing.

Endomondo has solved my problems!  It works really well and it integrates pretty seamlessly!  I connected to Fitbit only.  

Thanks so much!

Glad Endomondo was able to work for you.:)
