New Surge User - Must have Apps/Integration?

[Shake-N-Bake]

Hey everyone, just wanted to say "Hi" as a new Fitbit user as of today. Got my Surge setup last night and my wife a Charge HR setup. We friended each other for friendly competing. 😃 

My question to the community is: What apps or website integration do you find really helpful with fitibit or neat to use? I'm trying to do some research today and I am sure plenty of you already use great websites.

Example: I can attach my fitbit to my Cox Health account to earn extra pts for being healthy and use those pts towards rewards. 

I used to use Apps like MyFitnessPal and others in the past for food tracking. But I can honestly say from using the website this morning it seemed pretty easy to just add my food here.

Anyways, any other tips and tricks would be awesome!

 IFTTT,

• I use it to post a customised Facebook post.
• It dumps my daily steps to a Gcal file
• With a text message of #Surge it records win I charged my unit in a separate Gcal file.

Trendweight 

• It shows a graph of my current weight tend, projecting it into the future, ignoring the everyday fluctuations.

Walgreen's

• Receive points by walking
• There also is one for KMart and Sears.

Walking 4 Fun 

• A virtual walk through a path you choose, your steps move you towards your goal.

Every Move

• You receive discounts on products just by walking, sometimes you only pay  a few dollars for shipping
