### 5/5 — Works perfectly

*2021-11-05*

Great fix for a missing feature of Fitbit on iOS.

### 4/5 — Best free app but needs heart rate sync

*2021-04-26*

I’ve downloaded a ton of Fitbit sync apps & I like this one the best. It’s easy to use & it has the most sync options of all the free apps. But it doesn’t sync heart rate which is one of the three health markers I need.

### 5/5 — Loving it

*2021-01-08*

I have tried several sync apps so far and this is the only one that has worked for me. Clean and as described. Would be even better if it supports syncing heart rate.

### 1/5 — Erratic

*2020-12-30*

Appeared to sync correctly the first time. But—either I don’t understand how it works (in which case, the “Sync Now” button is not NEARLY as intuitive as one would think!)—or, it has simply failed to sync since the first time. I even have Background Sync turned on! Oh, well... off to try the next Fitbit sync app. Mostly I’m regretting the does-not-play-well-with-others Fitbit!

**Developer response:** Hi Imbaer. Sorry for the experience you had. Please try the new update released today with improved sync options and transparency. You can select the sync time and run syncs as many times as you like with no duplications.

### 2/5 — Will not sync

*2020-12-15*

The Fitbit export will not sync with my Fitbit app even with my Fitbit next to my phone, the app having bee. Updated with my step count, the WiFi on and with a strong signal. Frustrating. I have a newer iPhone too.

### 5/5 — Cool apps great work but can the dev add

*2020-11-27*

Can we get a calander in the settings in both the import and export apps please. The idea is so the one previously imported device (health to Fitbit) doesn’t copy back data from previous imported data to the other device (Fitbit to health) So by selecting a day on the calander will make sure your only importing and exporting one way for one time entries assuming you only have to switch devices once in a while because of charging situations. Thanks you.

### 5/5 — I enjoy Fitbit

*2020-10-12*

I enjoy using this app it wasn’t hard at all

### 4/5 — My Fitbit Watch

*2020-10-11*

I am glad I purchased this for my own peace of mind. First one was given to me. Second one, I purchased but had to return (not so easy) but I really am afraid to use it in the pool. I think that might have been the problem with the second purchase. Other than that it is good.

### 1/5 — Fit bit export

*2020-10-01*

I have s Fit Bit Charge 3. Was working yesterday, now not syncing. Had to go into the App Store and install all kinds of things. Why is my fit bit not working as it previously did.

### 1/5 — Does not sync all data

*2020-03-30*

The idea of this app is great but it makes you manually sync and sometimes it says “uh oh invalid end date” and won’t sync... then it doesn’t even sync everything to Apple health. Going to delete app and try another app... or just get an Apple Watch
