iSoft №81. Apps that support synchronization with Health
In today's episode, we'll talk about apps that already work with Apple's new Health app.
When I tried to start eating right, one of the motivators for me was weight loss schedules, you see, when you lost 7 kg, you are much less willing to look at the same sweet or starchy foods. It really works, besides it is informative. With the advent of Health, you can not focus on one program, but combine several different trackers, because all data will be stored in Health, and if desired, programs will always be able to access them. To Unfortunately, not all applications have received updates with Health support at the moment, but I guess it's just a matter of time. Today we will talk about programs that already know how to synchronize with the proprietary Health app.

An interesting application that can both pull up all the necessary information from Health and download it. After installing Lark, I got a sleep schedule that I had not fixed before. It turns out that the program can do this based on position sensors in space. Relatively speaking, you put the phone on the nightstand before going to bed, woke up and took it. Your rest time is your sleep time.
The appearance of the application is ascetic, but pleasant, but what I didn’t like was the Russian translation, which was, to put it mildly, of poor quality. This application does not yet support the new iPhone 6/6+.
Fitnet Personal Fitness Workouts
An application with many video instructions for training at various degrees of intensity. Perfect for those who want to play sports, but do not know where to start. It is possible to create your own training plan.
Conclusion
It just so happens that the selection of sports apps coincided with my attempts to get back to normal in terms of health, so let me share my personal observations.
Any program that monitors your physical activity and other parameters, first of all, aims to motivate you: see positive changes – rejoice and move forward. Not happy with the dynamics? Do your best to reverse the trend. However, there is one important nuance.
Whatever app you choose, whether it's the attentive Lark, the functional Withings, or the beautiful FitPort, it won't work if you don't have the initial motivation to exercise or start eating right. Still, fitness trackers are little motivational bonuses that should reinforce your intrinsic motivation.

Your rest time is your sleep time.
In addition to collecting data, Lark has an online consultant, which is more like an answering machine. It tells interesting facts about your activity and leaves recommendations.
FitPort
This app is not so much a fitness tracker as it is a data aggregator. After receiving information from the Health app, FitPort imports all statistics and displays them in beautiful tables and graphs. In my opinion, it is a very beautiful program and also quite informative. The cost of FitPort is 66 rubles.
Up by Jawbone
Application from the company of the same name that can synchronize with Health. With Up, you can view your step-by-time chart, sleep time information, and set goals for yourself. The program does not require the presence of the bracelet itself.
MyFitnessPal
A powerful application that controls almost every aspect of your sports life. In addition to counting steps and monitoring weight, it can also monitor nutrition, however, for this, you will have to manually drive in your entire daily diet. But if you do, you will get access to detailed statistics along with information on the amount of proteins, fats and carbohydrates. The application is free, there is also an iPad version.
Health Mate App
I recently got a scale from Withings (if you're interested, I'll dedicate a separate weekend article to them), and I decided to install their program so that I don't have to run and enter data manually every time. I initially knew that the corresponding application did not have Health support, and assumed that I would use Withings directly for weight management. However, literally in the latest update, synchronization with Health was finally added, and this is great news. In addition to the actual weight, my scale transmits CO2 data, heart rate information and a few other important parameters. The convenience of syncing with Health is that if other programs need some of this niche information, they can easily use it.
