Q: Apple Health needs to be available on iPad

Hi,

 

because I mainly use a company iPhone with a dedicated Company-Apple-ID and use my private iPhone mainly on weekends, I find it pretty annoying, that I can't sync my fitness tracker's data to Apple Health on my private iPad.

 

Apple, it's time to bring Apple Health to the iPad ... come on, this has been asked since it's release.

 

Google Fit is available on phones and tablets, so the missing Health on iPad is just embarrassing!

iPad Pro, 12.9"

    You are not addressing Apple here. This is a user to user support forum. For Apple to hear you, you need to use their feedback link here, http://www.apple.com/feedback and click on the appropriate subject area.

    I can't imagine myself running with my iPad.

    That's why I use the Apple Watch. Much lighter to carry.

    I use a fitness tracker, that doesn't require a mobile device (on the road or in the gym) and gets synced after the training ;-)

    I prefer a device with an appropriate battery, that lasts one week instead of just a few hours, so that I can track 24/7 including sleep quality. As long as Apple doesn't improve the Watch enough, I prefer e.g. Garmin.

     

    And even when using an Apple Watch, Health is still missing on the iPad ;-)

    Well good on you.

    Watch is more than a fitness tracker if you care.

    My Garmin is a fitness tracker with smart phone features ... currently the Apple Watch has no advantage for me. I hope  that will change some time ;-) Currently the Watch is the wrong choice for me, because I'm highly interested in sleep tracking ... so loading every day is a no-go.

     

    We'll see how Watch 2 improves, but I doubt, it will be good enough ... maybe Watch 3 ;-)

    Again, the way to get Apple to know about your desire for health on the iPad is with the feedback page. Use what you find meets your needs. We all have our desires when it comes to devices, and if you felt I was making fun of your choice, I'm sorry. It was just a little fun about using an iPad. If the Garmin works better for you than the Apple Watch, so be it. The watch works well for my needs, so that is what I use. That is what is great about choice. Have a nice day.

    What is so funny about the idea to use an iPad too for Health? I'm not planning to carry it around, but to review and maybe even sync a device's data in the evening.

     

    Especially reviewing Health data on a tiny iPhone screen is totally annoying, when you reached the reading glass age ... that is something young folks will sooner or later experience themselves and change their opinion on some things ... LOL

     

    PS: It might be worth mentioning, that some people use several devices, e.g. Apple Watch for the office or on a business trip and a Garmin, Fitbit or whatever for sports. And these people often use Health to summarize the data of different devices. And some of these guys are over 50 ;-)

    Chris J found the iPad idea funny as it seems.

    Well, so much for trying to apologize and understand your needs. Threw me right under the bus. You seemed upset that two of us made a comment, to each other I might add, not to you, about  exercising with the iPad. I also provided you with the path to let Apple know your concerns and desires. I told you to choose your device based on your needs. While I don't track a great deal of data on my iPhone, I do track some of it. I can understand wanting more screen real estate for making those comparisons, and each has their own needs. I hope you get what you want, as I would not mind seeing the Health app on the iPad to do exactly what you want, but for now, I have to read it on the phone, and I'm in my mid 60s, thank you very much.
