Health for Tanita provides direct access to the health metrics stored in MyTanita. Just enter your Tanita credentials and all of the health metrics that you have uploaded from your Tanita weighing scale will be available on your iPhone or iPad. Don't have a Tanita account or a scale that integrates with Tanita? No problem. If you have any scale that displays body composition metrics, then you can simply enter them in to the Health for Tanita app and store them locally. Options for using Health for Tanita: * If you have a Tanita BC-1000 or similar scale that connects and uploads metrics to MyTanita.com: - Connect Health for Tania to MyTanita using your MyTanita credentials (in Settings) - Download your Tanita metrics from MyTanita.com * If you have a Tanita BC-601 or similar that does not have external connectivity: - Read your data from the SD card in your scale (perhaps using a WiFi enabled SD card) and store that data in a cloud account such as Apple iCloud, DropBox, OneDrive, etc. - Choose the option to "Store Local Data" in Settings - Import your data from the cloud location using the "Import external data" feature * If you don't have your own biometric scale at all but have access to one (i.e. in a gym, etc.): - Choose the option to "Store Local Data" in Settings - Manually enter your metric values Metrics that can be recorded and displayed are: - Weight - Body Fat - Body Water - Bone Mass - Muscle Mass - Physique Rating - Visceral Fat - Metabolic Age - Caloric Intake Features include: * Display details of all of your current health metrics * Display intuitive graphs for weight, body fat and BMI * Graphs of all of your current health metrics can be rendered as either Area or Line graphs * Export all health data to CSV file * Export FIT files for manually entered data to email or iCloud * Health metrics are colour-coded based on industry guidelines * Extensive statistics showing high, low and current values across a number of different metrics and time periods * Backup and Restore local data to iCloud * Import Tanita data from external sources (DropBox, iCloud, etc.) DISCLAIMER: Please note that this app only displays the metrics either entered and stored by you or stored on the Tanita website. As such, it should not be considered a diagnostic tool but simply applies industry standard boundaries to the metrics you enter. For example, if you enter your body fat as 60% it will be displayed in red indicating obesity. If, however, you have any concerns regarding the values generated by your Tanita scale and displayed in this app, then you should seek a doctor’s advice before making any medical decisions. ## Key features - Access MyTanita health metrics - Manual data entry from any scale - Display detailed health metrics - Intuitive graphs for key metrics - Export data to CSV and FIT files - Color-coded health metrics - Backup and restore local data ## Recent user reviews (10 of 18) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/health-for-tanita/id886690177/reviews.md ### 1/5 — It just crashes *2023-12-27* Crashes syncing with Tanita ### 5/5 — That’s perfect for me *2022-09-17* I have a low model of Tanita weight scale which unable to sync with Tanita app. I want to record my body progress and yes I need to take note by hand. Hence , I try to find the app that can record my data.. And finally, I found this one.. it’s the thing that I want.. simple and easy for me. I almost buy the new weight scale. You safe my money, Thanks so much. ### 4/5 — Mostly happy with it *2022-04-01, version 11.0* Some things are a little off. Like first time use, there is no way to create a new account (do that from web). The order of fields does not match my scales, and there is no way edit entries. Plus the labels were confusing to sync. So I have 2 entries with very different values, for the same day. … Update 4/2022 Still mostly happy. … Since can’t edit old records, I had to delete and re-enter ( luckily I wrote those down). … Do like the graphs, although comparing entries from 3 years ago to now is skewed. Sorry to see no other recent reviews. Our scales are so old, I can only use this app as a log.Do appreciate the upload/backup feature. … Also, appreciate dev is keeping this up to date - thanks! ### 1/5 — How the heck do I set up a profile 🤬 *2020-11-22* Created a login and password in edit but it keeps telling me it’s wrong ! Gave up **Developer response:** The intention of the app is to provide a more useful display of the Tanita data stored on the MyTanita website after your scale uploads it. So the 'account' information you need to enter is the set of credentials (username/password) that you use on the Tanita website. (https://my.tanita.com). If that's where your scale uploads data to, then just enter the same credentials in my app and you're all set. If you don't have a scale that uploads to Tanita but just stores it locally on the scale, they when you're in the settings page of the app just toggle "store local metrics only" button. You will not require an account at all and you can just enter your metrics manually. After that you can export (.FIT, CSV) or store in you iCloud account. Backups and Restore obviously work as well.. Joe ### 1/5 — Useless *2019-07-27* Doesn’t talk to the Tanita data file correctly . Waste of time ### 5/5 — Exactly what I needed *2019-01-21* This is perfect for anyone with a non-networked Tanita scale who wants to track their metrics! I don’t understand the difference between this version and the pro though? ### 1/5 — Don’t bother downloading it *2018-02-21* Garmin have stopped this working. They have gone BACKWARDS in their development and now the scales will not sync with this app ### 3/5 — Stuck app *2018-02-06* Just installed this app, but it’s stuck at « Loading Garmin Health Data »... any idea why? ### 1/5 — Does not work *2017-01-08, version 6.2* Supposed to be able to import body composition data from Tanita scales. Nice idea if it would actually work. ### 5/5 — Extremely useful tool! *2016-10-15, version 6.0* If you are looking for an app to track all of your data, that can synchronize with Garmin Connect and Tanita's platforms, this is the app for you. I use it almost daily and the developer has streamlined everything. Even when there was a hiccup in the serviceability of the app, (only due to security protocol impeached by Garmin) the developer responded to emails, kept me up to date with the app's progress. Honestly, he went above and beyond what I expected. I though he would give some generic, "I'm sorry but we are looking into why blah blah blah,". Instead he detailed everything for me and he also ensured his users would receive the fix once the solution was found. Great app, great developer, enough said. ## Frequently asked questions about Health for Tanita ### How do I connect Health for Tanita to my MyTanita account?
