Hi,
The Fitbit app's been broken for a few weeks, and my subscription is up soon.
I've downloaded My Fitness Pal on a one month trial, and wonder if it can replace the Fitbit app.
It's only been a few minutes, but I haven't warmed to it.
There's no heart rate information and it hasn't uploaded any historic data off my Fitbit.
In particular it hasn't uploaded my last entry from my Aria scales.
I've linked it to Google Fit, and Health Connect in the hope that gives me the data I want, but it doesn't seem to have helped.
Will My Fitness Pal fully replace the Fitbit app?
Ta.

Hey there @PepeDrat, welcome back to the Community!
I'm sorry to read you are planning to leave our great family, let me clarify the things for you!
I can definitely understand the comparison of the Fitbit app with MyFitnessPal, but there are some things that MyFitnessPal can't do. Please keep in mind that their app is designed to mainly track food entries, calories, and basically any kind of macronutrient in your daily diet.
That means that not all the data recorded by your Fitbit device can be stored on their servers. In any case, I advise you to contact them to see if the change can be done!
