## What is Health Data Importer?

※ As recommended by Macstories, iDownloadBlog, LifeHacker, iPhoneBlog.de, iMore, and more! ※

Health Data Importer is the easiest, fastest, and most reliable way to transfer your Health data from your old phone to your new one. Don't depend on other apps that might lose your data—Health Data Importer is battle-tested with thousands of users and supports all versions of Apple's Health XML format. Start fresh without a backup when you get your new device and easily import your existing health data. Health Data Importer imports all Health data except Activity Summaries, Stand Hours, Exercise Time, and Nike Fuel data (these are API limitations).

If you ever have wanted to bring all of your health data onto a new phone without having to do a full iCloud restore, this is the app for you.

To see how easy it is, just watch the preview video (no sound). Note: while we use iCloud Drive in the preview video, iCloud Drive does not need to be enabled in order to perform an import. Just send your import to yourself in Apple mail and open it with Health Data Importer.

Health Data Importer integrates with the HealthKit framework and Health.app to import your Health XML exports.
