Track your fitness with FitPort

FitPort looks to replace the Health app on iOS8

FitPort is an app that wants to replace your native Health app on iOS 8. If you want to take charge of your health, then there is no better time to start than now, thanks to iOS 8.

The interface for FitPort is simple. It features a black background, which is always minimal and elegant, and each piece of data is colour-coded so it stands out nicely against the background. Transition animations are nice and smooth, so it’s pleasant to watch, even if it is just for a quick second. The typography that is used is light but still legible, so it fits in with the overall aesthetics of iOS. The process of configuring FitPort to suit your basic needs is also easy and intuitive enough for every user.

When you first launch FitPort, you will need to grant permission to access your Health app — otherwise, FitPort won’t work, of course. You have the option of adding eight different pieces of information into FitPort: Steps, Walking + Running Distance, Flights Climbed (Floors), Cycling Distance, Active Calories, Dietary Calories (Food), Weight, and Body Fat Percentage.

The main view of FitPort will also only show the data for today — if you want to see old data, you need to view each section separately.

If you want to view a section in greater detail, just tap on it. You’ll get a larger circular progress meter, along with how much more until your goal underneath. There’s also a line graph so you can see your daily or weekly progress. Tapping on the arrow at the bottom of the screen will bring up another view, where you can edit your goal. This is also where you see how many times you’ve met your goal, your longest streak, best record, and high and low for the week.

If you’re looking for a more elegant way to approach your Health data, then look no further than FitPort.
