So I thought the M8 coprocessor now "recognized" cycling. I've tried it, but it doesn't work - still records it as normal steps. Health app, Cycling Distance also remains empty ("No Data"). Am I missing something here? I tried it with the iPhone (6 Plus) in my pocket and mounted on the bicycle, but to no avail.
iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 8
I've been frustrated by this too so I submitted a support request to Mapmyfitness and this was the unsatisfactory reply. I'm sure that I'm not the first person to complain about this.
Hi Don,
Thanks for writing. I apologize for any inconvenience this has caused. Cycling workouts do sync to Apple Health but they are currently syncing as general workotus rather than specifically as cycling workouts so you will not see them when attempting to view the cycling distance. Please know that I have forwarded this along to the development team and they are investigating the cause. At this time, I'm unsure of how quickly it will be fixed, but we do hope to have the problem taken care of soon. We will to try our best to reach out to you again when a fix for this issue is available. Thank you for your patience and understanding while we troubleshoot the problem.
If you have any additional information that may aid in our investigation, please let me know.
Kindly,
Tim
Same here, cycling doesn't show any data (on iPhone 6).
Is there any sensor needed? Or should it work right out of the box?
Could Apple please help?
Same issue on the iPhone 6.
I'm cycling at least 35min a day, but still no data. I tested it in my pocket so It should feel the movement.
Same here. I cycle every other day for 30 minutes twice per day. Tried it in my jackets pocket, and in my normal pocket. Does not show any cycling data at all, recognizes it as steps taken.
Mine also does not work
Updated to iOS 8.0.2 on iPhone 6, now Health has stopped working. Even "Steps" says "No Data". When clicking on "Me" under "Health Data" the screen freezes and I have to quit the app.
I've updated my iPhone 6 to iOS 8.1 and cycling detection is still broken.
SAme problem here. Apple still don't offer any solution?
You need an app that writes cycling data, such as Digifit, Endomondo or MapMyRide.
Most of the fields in the Health app are simply storage areas for other apps. The Health app does not do much of anything by itself.
There are other fields that can be used but are not displayed In the app but can be utilized by other apps.
