Linked: Fitbit says it has no current plans for iOS 8 Health app integration

via fitbit’s forums:

We do not currently have plans to integrate with HealthKit.

It is an interesting new platform and we will watch as it matures, looking for opportunities to improve the Fitbit experience. At the moment, we’re working on other exciting projects that we think will be valuable to users. The question we want you to keep in mind when providing feedback is: What do you imagine a HealthKit integration would entail and what do you expect to get out of it?

Your voices are being heard. We’re actively reviewing your responses and providing feedback to our product development team.

 I bought a FitBit 24 hours ago. Guess it’s time to return it and get a Jawbone instead.

3PPs need to stop ignoring the power of Apple’s ecosystem. I own a GoPro because of the iPhone integration. I bought a LaCie external drive because it matches the look of my iMac. Same with the Studio speakers from AudioEngine or fine leather bag that holds my MacBook Pro or the Automatic vehicle tracking tool or the Twelve South iPhone & iPad stands I use. If you ignore the Apple Ecosystem, you’re losing customers. My Fitbit is going back to Best Buy and I’m going to get a Jawbone Up.
