How to find Fitbit-like apps for Apple Watch?

I recently switched from Fitbit to Apple Watch and hate it. Are there any apps for apple that mimic the Fitbit trackers? So far apple is a lot of words n less useful data

If you bought it from Apple and have had it for less than 14 days, you can return it.


Without knowing exactly what it is you're trying to replicate, it's hard to make suggestions. I'm going to take a flyer and guess that you don't like the fact that Apple isn't really interested in steps as a health metric. If counting steps is important to you (and you can't go back to the FitBit), you'll need to take a look at some of the third-party apps available. I've used StepsApp. It used to be a one-time purchase but I've heard it has go to a subscription model. It has a very nice, clean interface. It also provides complications you can put on the face of your watch to track your steps. There are lots of others. Have you explored the App Store for Watch apps.


The Health app on your phone is the central hub for all of your health data. Apple Watches capture a lot more than just exercise.


So, give people some details and they may well be able to guide you.


You might also want to read through the User Guide. There may be things you don't know about that would be helpful.

You should be able to see all that information in the Health app on your phone. As I said, that's the central hub for your data, just like the FitBit app was for your FitBit. You can choose what metrics you see on the Summary page. As more data is collected, the app shows you trends. If you look at the individual metrics, you can see graphs for the day, week, month, 6-months and year. You can even see if your Vitals are showing any issues.


What, specifically, have you looked for in Health that you can't find?


But, if you don't like the Watch, you should consider selling it. It's likely that you would get enough to buy a FitBit.

Thank u for your reply! It’s not steps more so how to compare cardio fitness over time , heart rate as far as what’s ideal and what’s not over time, really finding everything in one place instead of having to use fitness and health and whatever apps are on the watch. It’s just too much and not user friendly. Unfortunately I’ve had it a few months hoping I’d get used to it but it’s just become more disappointing.
