About this app

Sync your health data from Coros, Diabetes:M, FatSecret (nutrition data), Fitbit, Garmin, Google Fit, MedM Health, Withings, Oura, Polar, Samsung Health, Strava, Suunto and Huawei Health. You can sync to Diabetes:M, Fitbit, Google Fit, Health Connect, Samsung Health, Schrittmeister, FatSecret (weight only), Runalyze, Smashrun, Strava or Under Armour (MapMyRun etc.). Activity data can also be synced as FIT, TCX or GPX file to Google Drive. Health Sync works automatically and syncs the data in the background.

It will sync data from the time you first use the app. Historical data (all data before the day of installation) can be synced after the free trail period. You can't sync historical data from Polar (Polar doesn't allow this).

Watch out: Huawei says they won't let apps like Health Sync access GPS info from Huawei Health if you connect them after July 31, 2023. But right now, they're not enforcing this rule, so your activity GPS data will likely still sync. If you already installed Health Sync before July 31, 2023 with your Huawei Health account, you should still be able to access GPS data through it.

Samsung decided in 2020 that no partner app can write steps to Samsung Health anymore. Reading steps data and other data, and writing other data works normally.

One week free trial

Health Sync is very easy to use. It offers you a one week free trial period. After the trial period, you can make a one-time purchase or start a six-month subscription to continue using Health Sync. For the Withings sync an additional subscription is required. The additional subscription is required due to recurring additional costs that we incur for this integration.

Just try the app and see if it fits your needs. What data you can sync depends on the source app from which you sync data, and the destination app(s) to which you sync the data.

You can choose different source apps for different types of data. For example: sync activities from Garmin to Samsung Health, and sync sleep from Fitbit to Samsung Health and Google Fit. After the first initialization actions, you can define the different sync directions.

Syncing between health data apps sometimes doesn't work as expected. Don't worry, almost all issues can be solved easily. You can check the Help Center menu in Health Sync. And if you can't solve the issue, you can send a Health Sync problem report (the last option in the Help Center menu), or send an email to [e-mail] You will get support to solve the sync issue.

Ratings and reviews

This is an excellent app, well worth the reasonable price tag. It allows me to sync my Huawei Pro Band 2 with Samsung Health. The band can only sync with Google Fit. So I now sync the band to Google Fit and then with the app, sync everything to Samsung Health. Its perfect and without it, I wouldn't be able to see all my data in Samsung Health. Also, the developers responded to any questions and issues I had at the beginning, usually the same day, and sorted it. That's fantastic service. Well done and keep up the great work.

In my view, this is the best way to be able to move from one health/fitness ecosystem to another (because e.g. you bought a new phone or watch, or because you decided that you want to try something new). Yes, it is also nice to be able to use your favourite fitting app as the main input and use Health Sync to propagate the info/data to other fitting apps in semi-real time, as needed. However, the ability to transfer ALL your data ("historical data sync") without being trapped in the old ecosystem "forever", is a good enough reason to buy this app and support further development and maintenance (which must be a very tedious task). Many thanks to the developer who has made this so easy for the rest of us at such an affordable price.

After some initial confusion on my part (which the developer was quick to respond to and help with), I decided to go for the 6 month subscription. It seems to be working as advertised. The only thing I'm not sure about is whether my history sync includes Google Fit minutes. The initial 3 day history does, so I'm hoping once the history sync reaches 100 (currently 94), it'll all be there. I'll update this review as it progresses.
