Health for Garmin also allows you to upload the full set of health metrics back to Garmin Connect, so if you don't have a Tanita scale or have taken measurements while travelling, etc. then you can still record them without losing that data.

Features include:
* display of current weight, body fat and BMI based on your own personal details
* display of weight, body fat and muscle mass over time
* detailed list of each weight record available that provides access to:
- Weight
- Body Fat
- Body Water
- Bone Mass
- Muscle Mass
- Physique Rating
- Visceral Fat
- Metabolic Age
- Caloric Intake

* Upload full range of health metrics to Garmin Connect
* Export all health data to CSV file
* Weight details colour-coded based on industry guidelines
* Statistics showing your first recorded value compared to the most recent
* Graph showing the all-time lowest value and highest value for selected metrics

* Synchronise data from MyTanita to Garmin Connect. If you are using a Garmin device that does not have ANT+, then the data from your scale is probably stored in MyTanita using their clients or widgets. Health for Garmin will read the metric data from MyTanita and will synchronise it with Garmin Connect, allowing you to view your health data in Garmin Connect regardless of where it originates.

* Local Storage Options. You can choose whether you want to store Tanita data locally on your device instead of Garmin data. The main reason for this is that Tanita allows multiple health records to be stored per day compared to Garmin which only allows one record per day. So if you weigh yourself more than once a day, this feature is for you.

Note: if you are using an iPhone with iOS8, then please switch to Health Pro, which provides full synchronisation with Apple's HealthKit. Health Pro is identical to Health for Garmin in all other ways.

* Health for Garmin is available for both iPhone and iPad

Mostly happy with it
Ryan&Deanna Mom

Just some things are a little off. Like first time use, there is no way to create a new account (do that from web). The order of fields does not match my scales, and there is no way edit entries. Plus the labels were confusing to sync. So I have 2 entries with very different values, for the same day.


Saves $200 bucks!

What an amazing app! This a must have if you own a garmin and one of these scales!


Tanita interface to Garmin Connect!

I have a Tanita BC-1000+ and have been unable to upload measurement data to Garmin Connect. This nifty app, used in conjunction with the MyTanita website, does the job! Thanks to this app, I can now integrate my weight and workout data in one place. The process is painless. The Developer was a pleasure to work with when I had a question or feature request. Thank You!!


Extremely useful tool!

If you are looking for an app to track all of your data, that can synchronize with Garmin Connect and Tanita's platforms, this is the app for you. I use it almost daily and the developer has streamlined everything. Even when there was a hiccup in the serviceability of the app, (only due to security protocol impeached by Garmin) the developer responded to emails, kept me up to date with the app's progress. Honestly, he went above and beyond what I expected. I though he would give some generic, "I'm sorry but we are looking into why blah blah blah,". Instead he detailed everything for me and he also ensured his users would receive the fix once the solution was found. Great app, great developer, enough said.


Does not work

Supposed to be able to import body composition data from Tanita scales. Nice idea if it would actually work.
