I feel like I have tried everything! I can not figure out how to get my work outs on Map My Fitness to sync with fitbit. Please HELP!! I do a lot of country exercise such as wood splitting/hauling and I want credit for these activities on my fitbit. Yes, I am competitive and my co-workers can't see the true activity levels when we get our weekly reports.

I'm struggling with many questions regarding MMF and Fitbit. From what I can see Fitbit will share some info with MMF but MMF does not share (export) any data to Fitbit.

 

The only feature that MMF uses Fitbit data for is the 24/7 tab and only steps, distance, weight, and activity calories . It doesn't display sleep and will only show the number of workouts (like that's useful). Also it does not import nutrition (foods eaten).

 

So the short answer is MMF will not share data with Fitbit, it only imports data from Fitbit to MMF. MMF views the Fitbit as a data recording device like a heartrate monitor or a scale and sees itself as the primary application for displaying that data.

 

At least that is my analysis based on my experiences. No one at MMF of Fitbit has answered my inquiries regarding these questions. If someone has experience otherwise I'd love to hear how they did it.

Fitbit steps used to appear daily when synced on maymywalk app on the activity feed which others could see depending on privacy settings now they only seem to go on 24/7 which no one else sees so it seems a bit pointless. I've mailed several times but still waiting for an answer to see if my steps can go back on activity feed so my friends can see them. This altered on 16th of october
