Fitbit to Apple Health Sync Reviews

by 1st Second

Received a Charge 3. Of course, no user manual but I expected that. Tried to set-up Fitbit acc’t from iPhone 6S but wouldn’t connect. Downloaded FitbittoAppleHealthSync for $5.95. Couldn’t use App without Fitbit acc’t. Rambled on over to the computer. Set-up acc’t and found that the Fitbit App should not be downloaded before acc’t set-up. Too late for that tidbit of news! Still, tried to work thru the problem. Went back to iPhone, opened App, and logged into acc’t. Selected ‘Fields’, etc and chose ‘sync’. Said no. Asked me to download ‘Health’ App. Did so. Of, I know there’s nothing in health App to Sync but it tried. Told me my device was sync’d. But nothing in iPhone, nothing on computer, and the Fitbit won’t turn on. Somehow I don’t think it matters. I’m pretty sure it won’t work either! Now I’m no technophile but I’m certainly no amateur at these things either. My take is this: if the manufacturer of a product doesn’t care enough about their customers to include a “Getting Started” instruction manual in the product box, I don’t think they deserve my business. Unfortunately, this Fitbit is going in the trash.

All these people know is that some third party script kitty wrote them a script to auto-reply to every request for help, like all poor support systems it simply links to FAQ listing. When they read the customer’s reviews, they criticize the purchaser for NOT understanding poorly written FAQs. These FAQs are also generic and written by the same third party script kitty. They script kitty author simply uses a find and replace feature to change company and product name from a common template. Do not bother to request help.

Their auto-reply to the above concern says this; “Hello, we have an auto reply when you first contact support detailing what information we need to help you. We respond to all support questions personally”

That is retarded, to first acknowledge you use auto reply then in the very next sentence you state you “personally” respond to “all” questions, how completely moronic is that for a two faced liar. Oh edit most liars are morons and most morons are liars …my bad!

I purchased both FitbittoAppleHealthSync and the myFitnessSync Health to Fitbit version, paying nearly $10 for the pair. I was firstly enthusiastic about this purchase because it does assist with conjoining all health information to the Apple Health app. However, the supposed automatic communication has yet to function, despite tweaking permissions. By my experience, syncing only occurs manually by pressing the “Sync Now” button. In addition, because I had not manually synced my information through the Fitbit to phone prior to going to bed, when I synced in the morning, it only registered my movements when my phone was on my person. As a result, over 8,000 steps and 78 active minutes, etc. recorded by my Fitbit are missing on both my iPhone Health app and Fitbit app. I tried syncing with the Health to Fitbit as well to remedy the error, and it did nothing.

I purchased FitbittoAppleHealthSync based on the positive reviews (should have sorted by most recent). FitbittoAppleHealthSync does nothing useful except add meaningless workouts to your Apple Health data. The claim that the latest version syncs Workout data is misleading. Let me tell you what it actually does. The workouts that it does create have a Workout Type of “Other”, even though the correct data is listed in another field. Totally useless for analyzing past activity.

To be fair, other apps seem to do the same thing. However, they do it for free, thus the low rating for this one. I guess I’ll have to manually download the FitBit jsom files and import them by hand.

I’m a loyal Apple user, iPhone and Apple Watch, but I cannot wear my Apple Watch to work. Bought a Versa Lite, approved for work, and frustrated I could not sync data with Apple health. Really just looking for steps and activity/calories. FitbittoAppleHealthSync does sync steps, but even though it says “active/resting energy”, that does not appear to sync. Overall, not as seamless as I would have liked but it was hard to wade through all the info and reviews to determine if it was going to work before buying. Six bucks I can’t get back, but I’m not torn up about it...Fitbit really just needs to get over itself and allow for data sharing with Apple. If anything, I think they’d see an increase in sales, where they’re spouting “competition!”

After some fiddling I got my resting heart rate and sleep history synced to Apple Health from my charge 3. Goal achieved.

Apparently I was supposed to magically know to click profile as one of the fields I requested from fitbit, but I didn’t so I got a cryptic error and had to dig through the help to find solution steps which were outdated so didn’t work on my fitbit website login. Also toward the end it said to launch an app but didn’t say which app to launch. Confusing. Developer: rewrite the help for that sync error due to profile not requested from fitbit.

This is everything I wanted. I love that it syncs my Fitbit info into my Health data and gives a more clear picture of my overall health. The only reason I can’t give it five stars is because sleep doesn’t sync correctly. It doesn’t sync the total day’s/night’s sleep. If I wake up for any extended time at night and go back to sleep, it only syncs the first few hours to Health and not the whole night. I have to then enter it manually in Health. I’ll change to five stars if that can be fixed. Thanks!

I got an Apple Watch for Christmas from my wife, after using Fitbit for years. I wasn't sure if it was even possible to transfer my Fitbit data over to Apple Health, but then I found FitbittoAppleHealthSync. It's a really good value for the price, because without it I would have had years of data just sitting on my Fitbit since I love my Apple Watch and primarily use Apple Health now. FitbittoAppleHealthSync is a very valuable tool for anyone trying to sync years worth of Fitbit data history over to Apple Health. It is useful in other ways too though. A few weeks ago we went to visit my parents down in Florida, and I left my Apple Watch at their house by accident. I didn't realize until we were already through security at the airport! It wasn't a big deal though, thanks to FitbittoAppleHealthSync. This is what inspired me to post the review. Since we got home I've been wearing my Fitbit every day instead. FitbittoAppleHealthSync automatically syncs my data to Apple Health every day, I don't have to do anything. My parents are visiting us for Christmas so it's only another week until I get my Apple Watch back. But until then I'm fine using my Fitbit - I can still see all my data on my Apple Watch as though nothing has changed. I did have a small issue with set up but the FAQ helped me and the support team was really helpful too. All in all, definitely glad I downloaded FitbittoAppleHealthSync!

I have a Withings (now Nokia) Wireless Blood Pressure Monitor and Wi-Fi Scale and a Fitbit Surge Tracker and Aria Scale. I purchased them all over a period of time in an abortive effort to have one place to store all of my fitness data. I even bought an iPod Touch to access the Apple Health app in hopes of consolidating all of my fitness data. I am now where I need to be thanks to the myFitnessSync app. I'm just stuck with an extra Withings Wi-Fi scale since it will not sync with my new 5G router but at least I don't have to buy any more devices.

by TheBudAdams

I just needed a 1-time sync that went all the way back to my Aria scale weigh-ins in 2012... this is the only app that did it!

One suggestion to the developer, offer a way to bulk select data to remove. An annoying feature of Fitbit is it stores the same weight for every day until a new weight is logged. I am trying to remove the redundant data, but can only do it 1-by-1. 😳 Add a feature like that and you’ll be 1 step ahead of any other app that also syncs data.

I got a fitbit for my birthday but I prefer using Apple Health to store my data. I was hoping there would be some way to transfer data from Fitbit to Apple Health on a regular basis, preferably where I didn’t have to do it every single day. FitbittoAppleHealthSync works very well, highly recommended for anyone who needs to transfer their data from fitbit to Apple Health. I followed the instructions as written and had no issues. The process is pretty simple, you log in to your fitbit account, go back to FitbittoAppleHealthSync , and hit sync. I did actually have one issue where there was a problem getting my fitbit profile but it turns out it was my fault – it was because I didn’t give FitbittoAppleHealthSync access when I first installed it. It was a very easy fix and easy to find in the Frequently Asked Questions. FitbittoAppleHealthSync is taking data from one platform to another so it makes sense that there are a few things that could go wrong. As long as it’s easy to figure out I don’t mind. I wish Apple and fitbit would play nice but what can you do. All in all Im very thankful for FitbittoAppleHealthSync, I get to use my new fitbtit but I can continue seeing my data in Apple Health and not have my data spread out in two different places! I think my wife will be getting a fitbit soon too so I’m glad we know about FitbittoAppleHealthSync.

I am a mom that plays Pokémon go, but I don’t like carrying my phone. So my husband bought a Fitbit for me awhile go. None of the data between Fitbit would go to Pokémon go and/or Apple health app directly smoothly. So I downloaded FitbittoAppleHealthSync in hopes it would transfer my Fitbit data to Apple health app. That part worked beautifully which is why I rated FitbittoAppleHealthSync 5 stars as it does what it states it does. However, none of that data in my Apple Health app transferred from Fitbit counts towards Pokémon go. So I will be getting rid of this service and purchasing an Apple Watch.

What a waste of money!! Seriously people don’t do it! I watched numerous videos and “help articles”. It will not sync to my Fitbit. I get the error getting Fitbit profile cannot sync.
I did follow the suggestion to contact support for help. I did and got more frustrated. I sent a detailed message and the reply was basically to check out FAQ and to make sure I had included information. When I replied I honestly did a cut a paste from my initial response. All information that was needed was sent originally 😩.

I am updating my review back to five stars. The sync works well and all my Fitbit data past and present is in Apple Health. I briefly was upset because I had been using it for quite some time with no problem, then noticed that my data was no longer syncing properly. I checked and they wanted me to pay a subscription to sync the same data that I had already paid to download FitbittoAppleHealthSync for. I did not appreciate being charged more for the same features. After leaving a negative review one of the support people reached out and helped me get it fixed saying I was grandfathered into the old pricing model. Awesome.

Many have left FitBit or may in the future for better companies (especially since Google bought FitBit). FitbittoAppleHealthSync is simple to use and imports your FitBit data to Apple Health which many fitness watches and apps such as MyFitnessPal and Argus can then use if they don’t already import straight from FitBit. This way you don’t lose your information when you move up in the world for fitness apps. Once imported to other apps and watches you can close your FitBit account whenever is convenient for you without losing your information. With Google buying FitBit and your information it’s more important than ever to leave FitBit behind! FitbittoAppleHealthSync is perfect to help you do that.

I discovered this great app several years (and several Fitbits) ago, and it’s been on my must-have list for whenever I get a new iPhone. It has allowed me to keep years of (Fitbit) data easily saved in Apple Health, and allows it to be easily aggregated and displayed for longer periods of time (one year or less summarized and displayed). Thanks to FitbittoAppleHealthSync, I’ve got information starting in 2017 through today, all quickly available in Health. A winning combination. I recently had a syncing issue, reported it to the vendor, the problem was fixed, and the software updated in FitbittoAppleHealthSync Store within a day. Superb. If you’re using a Fitbit, and want to store your data in Apple Health, this is FitbittoAppleHealthSync for you!

I have to use a Fitbit for a thing we do at work to have some friendly competition. I wanted that data to sync to my Apple Health app and this does exactly that job! One “gotcha” that is a Fitbit security feature - FitbittoAppleHealthSync sync api is only granted access for one year and will “stick” at 12% if the access has expired. Just log out (inside FitbittoAppleHealthSync) and log in again, it will go to the Fitbit connection again and have you grant access for another year. No data is lost. Their helpdesk was fast with the answer when I had this issue. Edited - I got a new phone and the restore purchase failed, the support team was quick to respond and fixed the issue immediately! Great app with great support service!

App works great. Synced all my data on the first try and does my syncing for me every day with auto sync feature. I am able to use my fitbit for running, going to the gym, etc, and see all my steps and other data on my iPhone. This is super convenient for me because having my data in two different places was getting super annoying. It’s honestly pretty ridiculous that Fitbit doesn’t integrate with Apple automatically but I guess that’s par for the course these days. My wife uses FitbittoAppleHealthSync as well because we got Fitbits at the same time and are training for a marathon together. The only annoying thing is that you can’t participate in fitbit challenges, but if you actually take the time to read the description, the developers are very upfront about this limitation. I did have one issue where I was getting MORE data on Apple Health than I had in fitbit. But I contacted support and they were very helpful, there is an FAQ for this exact problem. It turns out I had fitness tracking enabled on my iphone so it was counting steps from my phone too. Very easy to fix.

FitbittoAppleHealthSync is awesome, I was able to sync years of Fitbit data to Apple Health. I have been a Fitbit person for years and never thought of somehow syncing my data to Apple Health. It's nice when the data is in Apple Health because I just like that dashboard a lot better, it works better with the iPhone and everything. The best part is FitbittoAppleHealthSync will do an auto sync every day, so I don't have to manually go in and sync. My workouts and steps just show up in Apple Health like magic. FitbittoAppleHealthSync is very simple to use, it's pretty self explanatory but there are instructions and an FAQ that I used for one issue. My husband also uses FitbittoAppleHealthSync because he got an Apple Watch, so he can sync all of his years of Fitbit data and start using the Apple Watch seamlessly. He even uses it to sync workouts which is awesome because he does a lot of cycling, running, and strength training workouts on Fitbit. I synced all my past yoga and stair climbing workouts. It also syncs sleep data which is nice.
Overall, if you're switching from Fitbit to Apple Watch or if you just want to sync your data to Apple Health for easier use, I would recommend FitbittoAppleHealthSync.

I downloaded FitbittoAppleHealthSync because I have been using a Fitbit for years and I recently got an Apple Watch. I wanted to transfer my Fitbit history to Apple Health so I can have all of my data stored in one location. Luckily I found FitbittoAppleHealthSync. With FitbittoAppleHealthSync I was able to sync 3 years of data from Fitbit to Apple Health. Now I am able to fully enjoy my Apple Watch! (sorry Fitbit). FitbittoAppleHealthSync works really well and the instructions are clear. It worked for me the first time using it. They also have an in depth Frequently Asked Questions page that covers a lot of different contingencies. I woulr recommend FitbittoAppleHealthSync to anybody who is looking to transfer their Fitbit data to Apple Health, especially if you have years worth of data. I haven’t found another app that syncs your whole Fitbit history. There are a fair amount of bad reviews on here from people who clearly did not read the instructions. I honestly don’t know how you could mess it up, it’s so easy, but syncing data between two different companies I guess there are a few things that could go wrong. In summary FitbittoAppleHealthSync works exactly as promised. It is also very easy to use.

Well. I had been using a different app and probably should have just stayed with that one. But I wanted to try and have a sync going both ways in order to keep everything the same. Unfortunately syncing with FitbittoAppleHealthSync messed everything up and destroyed by Fitbit data. By destroyed meaning deleted some data, added data in other places. Just made a mess. Now, I wish I hadn't purchased. Wasted my money. If the seller offered a free version to try, I would have found out it wasn't FitbittoAppleHealthSync for me. But I got suckered in by all the "5 star" reviews touted by the seller. If you want to use this, then do it as you start your Fitbit journey. That way no worries about loss or corruption of data. I was very sad to see all my progress destroyed.

FitbittoAppleHealthSync is awesome! Easy to use. Works perfectly for syncing FitBit data to Apple Health. I’ve used it daily for a couple of weeks and have found no duplicated data and nothing has failed to sync. Pricey but worth it and superior to all the free apps I have tried. It would be great if fitness apps just talked to each other but until then FitbittoAppleHealthSync is essential. Thanks for FitbittoAppleHealthSync!
