Fitbit to Apple Health Sync Ratings and Reviews

Worked well but BMI not syncing

I stumped up the cash for the lifetime subscription. Lets hope the company sticks around. I wanted bmi, lean body fat and body fat percentage to be copied over. The others worked but bmi has not. And I cant seem to work out why. I use an aria scale to send the data to fitbit for all 3 but v odd that only 2 of the three worked. Any tips would be appreciated? I am curious to find out if this app does the sync in the background or if I need all three open for it to work. Couldnt work that out in the app and didnt quite follow what the one clicm sync toggle does. But overall pretty decent if I could solve this one problem. 4 stars!

Edit - I added weight as a category and that worked and so did bmi at that time so maybe you need both for bmi to work. I didnt have weight selected as i used my fitness pal to get the weight data from the fitbit app once the aria scale sends it to fitbit. Now turned that off and i am all good.

Just what I needed

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 this app. 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. This app 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 this app. This is what inspired me to post the review. Since we got home I've been wearing my Fitbit every day instead. The app 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 this app!

Syncs my Fitbit data like a charm

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. This app 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 the app, 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 the app access when I first installed it. It was a very easy fix and easy to find in the Frequently Asked Questions. This app 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 this app, 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 this app.

Syncs my Fitbit data to apple health

I downloaded this app 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 this app. With this app 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). The app 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 this app 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 this app works exactly as promised. It is also very easy to use.

Syncs fitbit history and auto syncs daily

This app 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 the app 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. The app 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 the app 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 this app.

Fitbit Data Sync to Apple Health Worked

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 this app 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.

New to Fitbit - Sync Works Great

I’ve been using the free version of the app for two weeks now, to manually sync my Fitbit Charge steps to the Apple Health app on my IPhone 12. It works perfectly! One reason for trying this app versus another, was that I noticed that the developer seems to be very responsive to those having issues. After the initial install, I also reached out with a simple question. The response was prompt and very helpful. The free version does seem to be a bit ad heavy, but it probably isn’t easy or cheap to sync to an Apple product. The ads are a minor inconvenience and I’ve had no issues navigating around them. I bought the Fitbit in response to a work challenge that has since ended. However, I will be purchasing at least a few months worth of the paid version just to say “thank you” and support the developer. Bickster… great job and a great app. Thank you!! DC

Great, but a recent glitch is adding steps

I’ve been using this app since I got my first FitBit in November or 2018. I know I will get an Apple Watch someday, for the fall detect feature, so I was thrilled to find an app to transfer FitBit data into Apple Health app on my iPhone. It has worked great until sometime in September 2021. I generally don’t leave this app or Apple Health open on my phone. I use the FitBit App for my tracking throughout the day. Instead, I intentionally open them up to do a manual synch once a week or so. Just to make sure my step history is transferred and maintained in Apple Health. BUT sometime last month, Fitness Synch started adding 1000 to 4000+ steps to my daily Apple Health totals compared to my FitBit step totals. And now my step average records in the Apple world, which I hope to keep long term, are getting out of whack. I hope this glitch is FIXED soon!!! Please!!!

Developer Response ,

Thanks for the great review. We appreciate all the support and feedback you've given us.

I've passed along your comments along to our dev team. In regards to your totals being inaccurate, please reach out to customer support team at support@bickster.com.
We can help you out and investigate why this incorrect behavior could be occurring.

Sync button you can’t click on.

I use the free version of this app as no way I’m paying $60 for a life time. Since 5/3/22 the free sync button you can’t click on. I’ve also read a few developer responses that say everything you can sync from your Fitbit to Apple Health for free and that’s a flat out lie. It only syncs your steps and nothing more and the settings clearly show a crown with Pro written in it proving it. This was a 3-3.5 star app when it used to work but the pestering you to buy it every time you open it and the ads that are forced to be watched now get you a big fat 1 star because 0 stars isn’t an option.

UPDATE: I deleted the app and signed back in through the app into my Fitbit account and sync does work again. Fitibit did a recent update and may have messed it up. This is still the best app to use for free IMO even though the pestering to buy the full app every start up remains and the ads are worst than in years past. 3.5 stars.

Hi there.

Thank you for the feedback, however I do want to address a few things in your review. First the "Sync Now" button does work and will sync steps when a user does not have an active subscription. Any else after that, including the auto-sync button does require a subscription. Please reach out to us at support@bickster.com.

How do I end the spammy popups trying to sell me things I don’t want?

Every time I switch to or start the app, I get spammed with ads. I don’t want the pro features. MAKE THE ADS STOP, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!!

Edit: the ads are for the upgrade to “Pro,” and a second popup is for a review of tge app, which I can’t easily post because the keyboard obscures the action button that would allow me to post. These popups only appear on ONE of the two iPhones that my family has the app loaded onto. So I would like to get the same behavior—i.e. NO nags about buying the “Pro” upgrade OR about adding a review—on the other iPhone. The one WITHOUT the popups doesn’t have the “Pro” tab along the bottom of the main page, and doesn’t limit the “auto-sync” toggle or the “Sync entire history” toggle to the “Pro” level.

I absolutely don’t mind the ad that is for third-party stuff, because I understand that those ads keep the app “free,” but I am never going to pay for the “Pro” features that I don’t need or want, and I am unable to post the review from the app because the keyboard blocks the action buttons on the review popup.

Developer Response ,

The ads are there to help us generate revenue that allows us to keep the lights on and pay the bills. While we understand that some may find the ads intrusive, they are there to help us generate income on users using the free version of the application. We are giving you one of the most requested features of the application, the ability to sync steps, absolutely for free! We think that is worth watching a few ads to help support the developers. If want the ads gone, you can upgrade to the premium version which unlocks 14 fields to sync, no ads and auto-sync. Why not try it out?
