Will Fitbit Sync with Google Fit

[parkerstep]

I am wondering if Fitbit will ever start syncing with Google Fit, because they are both very good apps, and I would like to have compatibilty with them. Right now I how to sync with Withings to get Fitbit info to show up in Google Fit, which is a very complicated procedure.

It's nice to see new faces around @parkerstep! Currently, I don't have any information about this integration. However, you may want to vote for this idea Integration with Google Fit because it's already reviewed by moderator and if it gets implemented the status will change. 

Thanks for your understanding.

I too would like FITBIT to sync with Google Fit.

It's nice to see you around @yamaf15e! Have you voted for Integration with GoogleFit? As mentioned above this will help our engineers and developers to see what features you want on your tracker or Dashboard. 

Thanks for voting!

C'mon, we don't all want to be apple.....

There has been a post in the requested features section that's been there for 3 year (about) and 26 pages long. Fitbit isn't trying to hear from customers. They don't care for Google fit integration.  

[SilviaFitbit]

It's great to have you here @Klas82! The Feature Suggestion board is a place to make your voice heard. However, I can't give you a specific time frame about when these ideas will be implemented. You can leave your vote and comments in this Integration with Google Fit. 

Thanks for your understanding.

This request is right up there with the ability to sync without internet. It's been requested for years. The request comments a full of alternative products. Clearly Fitbit is not interested. Might as well look for something that does.  Like the iWOWNfit.

It's great to see you around @maichrcol! The Feature Suggestion board is a place to make your voice heard, our engineers will take a look at them and implement some ideas. However, I can't confirm when each idea will be a feature in Fitbit. 

Fitbit highly appreciates your time and the suggestions each one post. Thanks for your understanding.

Hi @SilviaFitbit ,

Any idea when this will be really happening, because I see this was included from June 2014. I have put my vote as well. Is funding the problem or FitBit having issues with Google/Andriod?

Like others, I had my past fitness updates in Google Fit, and I need to sync that with my FitBit device.

Please give clear dates and plan for the same.

And just to update, in the https://community.fitbit.com/t5/Feature-Suggestions/Integration-with-Google-Fit/idi-p/350820 , it is not allowing me to comment.

Many Thanks.

Regards,

Arun

It's great to see you around @ArunMohandas! Currently, I can't confirm when this is going to be implemented. Those ideas are viewed by our engineers and developers and as soon as it's been implemented the status will change to let everyone in the thread know about the change. 

It's pretty weird that you're not able to comment on that idea. Do you have a screenshot of what you're getting that's not letting you post there? 

Thank you so much for your understanding and patience.

Quite honestly it seems to be having issues syncing with the apps it is already supposed to do let alone anything else.

[marykrhodes]

Yes, when you click on comment, the page does nothing.

[SilviaFitbit]

Exactly why I did not buy another fit bit. bought a RUNME which is much cheaper more feature rich, doesn't burn my wrist and synchs with Google. Also, tracks sleep in a way that my charge hr used to but fit bit decided to remove they functionality I paid for when the changed the sleep reporting from the HR.  Will never buy another fitbit

[Marcin_PL]

I am facing the same issue. I cannot add comment. It is really a shame that after 3 years of ppl voting and commenting about the integration FitBit has not introduced it yet! Shame!

[SunsetRunner]

This should be an executive/strategic decision, not a " our engineers will take a look at them and implement some ideas," strategy.  It is obvious to me that fitbit is not interested in connecting with Google fit.

[Marcin_PL]

Totally agree with the above.

Fitbit just wants you to spend money on a gadget which you don't need.

1) Google Fit with a smartfone in your pocket does exactly the same - counts activity calories

2) I prefer to wear a real, analog, classy watch instead of a gadget. That fits my everyday clothing at work. I would love to wear fitbit watch for excersizes. When I would also want to use HR monitor. But not 24h/day!

You guys at fitbit should give people a choice. When Im at work I want classic watch and I still want my walking calories to count in!

Alternate to connecting with Google Fit is to add a step counter and walking calories counter into the app without any extra device needed. Just like Google Fit. 

Best regards,

Marcin
