Google Fit (Google Health Connect) integration
Without having a Fitbit, there seems to be no way for an Android device to sync fitness data to the app at all. Google fit talks to pretty much everything else but not this. There seems to be no way around it, either I buy an iPhone, or I buy a Fitbit.

Samsung health app connector needed

HUGE KEY. Understanding a clients readiness score, sleep score and activity score is a huge step in tailoring workouts. Technology is there, integration would be awesome!

9 months later. What's going on? There are a lot of Android users and you are neglecting us. We will have to reach out to lifetime to consider changing to a different platform.

Any updates.? If we cant sync can we manually add steps? Sucks I can track but not share in thus app for a complete picture. Or since mfp syncs pull steps from there.

Please add this feature. This would complete everything in one app! Would be perfect. And Oura has an API Connection. Think this wouldn't be so difficult to add.

I dont like the apple watch, so I went with the Oura ring. It has everything but blood pressure, and apple watch doesnt even track that.

This would be so helpful and more if my clients are getting these.

It seems it would make more sense to build a connector to the Android "Health Connect" platform, since it touts itself as being a method of allowing different devices to share health data with other applications.
This would negate the need to build a Google Fit, Fossil, specific link.

You can connect several other watches but not the Samsung. Why?

It would be nice if all apple n android phones would offer this program. Makes so much easier working out then downloading one program to another in our fast paced world.
Thank you -

Thank you for reaching out about this! Great question as well.
Just to give you some insight as to what's going on with the Samsung Galaxy/Health integration, I can provide some more detail. Earlier this year we ran into a bit of a roadblock with the development process for the Galaxy/Samsung Health integration because the Samsung Development Portal closed to development.
This halted our team's ability to continue to develop this feature. We were also quite excited about it, but sadly, because of this, it has put the development of this feature on hold for now.
I did notice that you are correct, it looks like our ideas forum still has this idea set to Planned. I've brought this to the attention of our developers to make sure we update this idea accordingly. I do assume this is something we hope to develop when we are able to begin the process again - however until then, the next closest thing in development would be Google Fit.
Google Fit is currently slated for release in the early part of the new year. Sometimes with development, these features can be pushed if more time is needed (we always want to make sure the product is fully tested and the quality assurance is 100% good to go before releasing). That being said, I do know it's close to release, so I thought I'd share that since it's on the horizon and in many ways, will be a good alternative to Galaxy until we can begin development on that feature again.
As another alternative, we also did improve the Fitbit integration to include the ability to track workouts this year. How to sync cardio and other activities through Fitbit
Hopefully, that helps provide some more detail about to what's going on with the Samsung Health integration! Do let me know if you have any more questions and I'd be happy to answer them, Aaron!
All the best,
Dannen
This is the email I got back from them asking what going on with the app.

Samsung are the alternative to an apple watch. It's an obvious choice unless you are a brand junkie for Garmin. I can't see a point of this app if it does not connect with my life.
