Microsoft band and fitbit app

[bozza72]

Hi all Ive been using fit bit app on my 930 using the motions sensors but have now bought a Microsoft band and want to continue using the fit bit app, BUT the 2 don't communicate with each other so im left with no data going to my fit bit app & fit bit friends,

is there anyway around this yet ???

No. FitBit doesn't even send food logs to HealthVault anymore.

Since they are competitors in this space, I don't expect that to change soon. I'm not into the social aspect myself, but it is a big missing feature with MS Health. I'm not sure the various fitness band makers are ready to give up their social data silos just yet.

Unfortunately, FitBit only sends data to Microsoft HealthVault and doesn't receive any data .. https://forums.windowscentral.com/e....fitbit.com/login/transferpage&token=dcqp4iB5

But FitBit does receive data from Garmin devices, so maybe there's hope in the future. https://forums.windowscentral.com/e...obal/us/technology/partnership&token=MOsvadrU
