Overall, I am happy with my Charge 2 in combination with the Fitbit app.

 

What I don't like is the 'non-integration' or lack of functionality across app's. I know I am not the first or the last to ask for Apple Health integration, but the way I have to use the app to get all data in one place is just plain silly.

 

I have to use Sync Solver to get everything out of Fitbit in order to get the data in one place, Health. This is my info hub. Yes, the webbased Fitbit dashboard is great, but it's not available to me in an easy way on my device.

 

I have to use MyFitnessPal to get a decent food database and log food/drink. So, this means I already use four (4!) apps to get things in one place.

 

My Concept2 rower has its own ErgData app to connect with the machine read-out.

I am using Runtastic to log activities and keep track of speed, distance, strides etc.

 

And I started off with heartrate apps and GPS assisted tools to capture some of the things I wanted to replace with the Fitbit data input. Unfortunately, I seem to get different read-outs from different devices (steps, floors, activities).

 

So, back to Apple Health, that gathers all of the individual data and becomes the hub to collect all of it.

 

My suggestion: either make the Fitbit app the hub that allows input from others (with custom fields/data and a localized food database), so I don't have to use Health. Or integrate with the other apps to become a full-fledged, one-stop experience.
