Health Auto Export - JSON+CSV Ratings and Reviews

Decent overall but I have some questions

Update - the developer is extremely responsive and will listen to your suggestions for future features. The app as it stands does its job well, but is missing a couple features. I look forward to the upcoming updates. If you are trying to track your apple health and wellness markers and diet in a spreadsheet, this app will make your life a lot easier.

Overall it does help with my goals of tracking my health data. However, there are some things that apple health tracks that isn’t in this export app (resting energy, rem sleep mins, deep sleep mins, core sleep mins, rem sleep %, deep sleep %, core sleep %, sleep HR, and a couple others). Also, there isn’t an option to make the sleep analysis it does export be stored as minutes instead of hours. Also, there are several nutritional markers that you can export but idk how you input your diet into apple health. Is that through 3rd party apps that write data into apple health or is there an apple health diet tracker?

UPDATE: Works like a charm

Updated review: App works exactly as described, it exports any data points from your iOS Health App into a data-processor friendly csv file that you can use however you like. As a bonus the files from bulk export are perfectly clean and ready for processing, no need to spend an hour cleaning up data. User friendly and intuitive interface.

This is an updated review & rating because the app was crashing until I updated to the latest iOS. If you have any issues developer is extremely helpful and quick to reply to any questions. Don’t usually leave app reviews but the developer was super quick to help me with my issue and the app works perfectly as described.

PS just read another review on here that says they couldn’t track their health data with this, this app is so you can take the raw data from the iOS health app and use it however you like. There’s a couple of websites that claim to do this for free but you’re really just giving your data away and putting your personal info at risk. This app on the other hand works with specific health app permissions only and saves you so much time while minimising privacy concerns. (People should read the app descriptions before leaving unfair reviews because this thing works like a charm)

Thank you for leaving such a thoughtful and detailed review 🙏

I do commit to resolving bugs and user issues as quickly as possible, and providing the best possible user experience.

I think your note on privacy is especially important. The app is designed with privacy and security in mind, so you have all the power over what happens to your exports.

I’ll always be a quick email away if you run into any other issues while using the app!

Hands Down the Best Way to Use Your Health Data

I have tried using several apps to export and use my health data, and this one is heads and shoulders above the rest. It is the easiest to use, runs that fastest, and exports everything availible in the Health app. The Health app has become the central hub for all my fitness tracking, vitals data, and all the other QS data I like collecting. Now I can actually use it outside the iPhone app thanks to Health Auto Export. It also powers my ability to explore this data on my Macbook since the latest update. I can't say enough good things about this app. Also, the one time I needed help with the app, the developer was responsive and open to listening about issues and ideas to make the app even better. I really like supporting an indy developer working hard to make something that is user focused and alwasy getting better.

Awesome! Glad you’re happy with the apps, and they features they provide!

There’s a lot more to come so stay tuned! 💫

Terrible App!

This app must be a scam! How did it get by the folks at Apple to allow this piece of crap to be downloaded? First, this is NO “health” app! If you need something to keep track of your gym workouts, or how long you spent on the lake rowing, maybe this will work for you. But if you’re looking for an app that will actually help you track your HEALTH data, forget this! I wanted something to track my blood pressure, my glucose readings, insulin delivery and oxygen saturation ... you know, details about my health statistics that I could export into readable data. I haven’t even figured out what this thing does? After allowing Apple Health to give permission to this this wad of junk, it crashes every time I wish to view one category of my stored data! That’s before even trying to export it. And there is no menu offering instructions or how to use it, it’s all trial and error, and believe me, it’s chock full of errors. There should be an Apple policy for all these apps making you pay before you try, to provide at least a week’s trial period before discovering the thing doesn’t do what it says and you’re left with a non-functioning rip-off! Good luck to all those people who do not read this WARNING!

Hi there,

Sorry that you’re so disappointed with the app.

I think the description quite clearly and repeatedly states the point of the app is primarily to export your data to CSV format.

I’m not sure what you read, or if you read any of it all, to think otherwise.

The statistics feature is very new, released only yesterday, so while they may be quite limited there are enhancements planned to make this part of the app more insightful. The release notes for this version also state as much.

As for your Health data, I have no interest in it. The description and privacy policy also state that no data is saved or transmitted from your phone.

The app is mainly for people who want to export their data, since there is no easy way to do this.

I also have no interest in scamming anyone. You are welcome to contact Apple for a refund. See the link below:

Excellence at its finest

The developer is not only responsive but is also very knowledgeable in the health field. Respect for the time they have put in to ensure everyone is well taken care of. I will happily support this app and developer. I know money may be tight but the affordability is perfect, offering a lifetime subscription for $25 is unbeatable, please always remember that these developers are human like the rest of us, it’s a matter of how they respond to those who use their app, even when money is tight these prices, these prices are low enough that even those in the low income areas are able to afford it. Keep up the amazing work!

Thanks for this great review! I do absolutely aim to provide the best value for money through this app, and happy to see that work pay off in the form of happy, satisfied users.

Thanks so much for the support!

Absolutely fantastic!

I’ve been trying to find a good way to get health data off my phone for ages. Auto Export works nearly perfectly, and that last little bit (periodic syncs) just isn’t possible for non-Apple apps. The JSON format is easy to ingest. I’m consolidating data by timestamp and writing records to Elasticsearch. Using Grafana I can build dashboards for different uses and people (my doc loves it). This app lets you really own your data.

Developer Response ,

Fantastic! I'm really happy to hear it lives up to expectations.

If you have a blog, or if you'd like to share any tidbits about your project publicly, I'd be happy to feature it on the app blog. Feel free to get in touch over email if that's of interest.

There's much more on the way. Thanks for your support!

Workout custom date range doesn't work.

I've bought the apps and had it running for a few days, but on my Mac when I switch to Custom date range for Workouts there's no way to actually pick the date range. It only shows the workouts for this week, I can see more if I go to 90 days, but seems Custom does nothing. Also, when I try and use the JSON export function I can't select Workouts, seems like the only way to Exposrt Workouts is via the Workout section and then doing it one by one which is farely uselss as that'll take forever and I can't select a Custom date range.

Developer Response ,

Thanks for taking time to leave the review!

I see the bug you’re mentioning with the date picker for custom date ranges. I’ll get to work on fixing that. And I can add a button for exporting all workouts.

Just an FYI, it takes 1-2 days before I can see your reviews on the App Store. For bug fixes and feature requests, it’s much faster to use the support links!

Does exactly what I needed!

It’s hard to change something you’re not measuring. I’ve been frustrated with the UI and lack of data exporting in Apple Health for a long time. Along cane Health Export, and now with just a few clicks (bulk export and Air Drop), I can import all my health data into an Excel dashboard that lets me geek out over it however I want: Macronutrient trends, lean vs fat % ratios, caloric deficit over time, etc. The developer is also very responsive to feedback and quick to answer questions. 5 stars.

Thank you for your review! Always here to help if you need anything.

After recent update dev has solved issues

After my previous review the dev has released several updates addressing crashing issues.

Great app and is backed by a great dev. Good to know the support is there and updates are released timely to fix problems.

If you have concerns contact the dev via the support email, rather than on here to get 1:1 help.

Developer Response ,

Certainly a pleasure! It’s unfortunate when there’s a bug but that’s the world of software development. I’m more than willing to correct issues as long as I’m aware of them, as well as answering any questions about functionality.

Thanks for your patience and the review! ⭐️

Crashes every time - amended

Program crashes as soon as I attempt to export data. Won’t compute stats on in app graphic display. Crashes on sync. Crashes when I attempt to send feedback. Worked pretty well before IOS 14 upgrade.

Developers contacted me with a troubleshooting tip and the issues are resolved. Now running as advertised. It is doing everything I need it to without a hiccup.

Developer Response ,

It’s always a pleasure to help!

Thank you for sharing your experience, and I’m glad we were able to get your issues resolved so you can continue using the app! 🙏
