Sync Solver - Fitbit to Health

I have been using a FitBit Aria scale since 2014. I wanted to get my measurements into Apple Health. Google pointed me here and it worked exactly as expected. The first sync wrote 3000+ items, 1000+ each for weight, BMI, and body fat percentage. That’s about one measurement per day since I got it. This app worked EXACTLY the way I wanted: with one sync, every measurement my Aria scale ever made was placed in Apple Health. Thank you to the developer.

I bought this app because I can’t have my phone on me at work but I can wear my Fitbit. I wanted to sync my steps with my apple health app to have it all in one convenient place. Originally I was mad because less than 1,000 of my 6,000+ steps would sync but it turns out this was because of an issue with my Fitbit app. It would sync my steps to my Fitbit app but not load them fully so only part of them could be synced. And while I wish this app had a little more to offer it’s doing what I need it to do.

I was using sync solver for a while and it was not until much later that I realized that it didn't correlate data from other sources, like your phone. Therefore, I had nearly doubled info in HealthKit. Since all measurements from the phone are done in increments it's not feasible to delete every single one of those data points. What's worse, is that when you use Sync Solver data it just has one long total for the entire day so there is no spread of data across the time of day. The only thing is is good for is managing your totals but it's far from a replacement for syncing granular data from your fit bit to HealthKit.

This app does what is says it does. It uploads sleep information, step count, and calorie count. It doesn’t import HR data which I didn’t realize, or I wouldn’t have bought it. The ad photos make it seem like all FitBit data can be synced. The wording in one of the photos is “Sync all your data from FitBit to Apple Health” which I feel is purposefully misleading. They do actually disclose that HR data isn’t included. If you read the app description carefully (unlike me), you’ll see HR data is not on the list of data that can be synced. It is not the developer’s fault I didn’t read more carefully and that I made my decision based on the main ad rather than reading the description details... but the main ad really should have the phrase “sync all your data” removed since it is what most people look at and is misleading.

It requires manual sync. Which learning that as a requirement it doesn't bother me. Couldn't give it a higher rating. The software update locked up my iPhone. I had to restart it. Not sure if software was installed after before or after restart. I have a problem when companies send an update and it causes problems to your system and/or device.
