Fitbit2 Charge, fitness tracker! and the many softwares!

[chazzy2501]

OK, in an effort to (further) my health, I bought a gadget the Fitbit 2 Charge. but that's not the story I want to tell.

 

The fitbit app to apple healthkit.. Ok so fitbit app setup great but No data goes to or from the apple health kit. You can't, too bad, tough poo.

 

Sooo heres how (I think) I've made it work. I installed MyFitnessPal app, I linked it to the fitbit app job done.... nope.. ok, so now I setup my gyms Technogym software "MyWellness" the Mywellness app links to both to the apple healthkit and after setup it talks to the MyFitnessPal app. So somewhere in that app chain the data should flow!

 

Ahh so simple.

 

to be fair the MyFitnessPal has the best food diary and scanner and the MyWellness tracks the gym equiptment so it's not all bad. I worry that I'm double dipping the data as the fitbitstrap will measure the workout as well as the gym equipment.

There is a free app called PowerSync which can do this for you, it does have an in app purchase for auto sync but manual works fine for me.

I use it to sync things like the Fitbit scales out to Healthkit. You just enable the types of access you want it to have on Healthkit.
