Apple has finally gotten HealthKit up and rolling after delaying its launch a little over a week due to a bug in iOS 8.0. The first HealthKit-enabled apps starting appearing on the App Store on Friday after Apple released iOS 8.0.2 to fix the issues plaguing the new health platform. One of the first HealthKit-compatible apps spotted in the wild was FitPort. The app promises to deliver a "simple dashboard for your daily fitness stats" by recording steps, cycling distance, active and dietary calories, plus more to Apple's Health app. FitPort is available now for $1.99.
Other HealthKit friendly apps include:
- WebMD (Free) Connect Healthy Target to the Apple Health app to receive actionable insights on your health data.
- Yummly (Free) - Recipe app. Allows you to send nutrition information to the Health app.
- Carrot Fit ($2.99) Allows you to sync your weight and workout data with the Health app.
- MyFitnessPal (Free)
• Add your meal summaries to HealthKit – You can now share meal data with HealthKit-connected apps every time you add food to your diary.
• Sync your weight with HealthKit – If you have an app that records your weight in HealthKit, we can automatically sync that with your MyFitnessPal account. Likewise, if you track your weight in MyFitnessPal we’ll keep your HealthKit data updated.
• Add exercises from other HealthKit apps to your diary – When you exercise with an app that saves workout data to HealthKit, we can adjust your daily calorie goal for you.
Remember, all HealthKit apps require iOS 8.0.2 to work.
Here are this week's games, apps and jailbreak tweaks released to the App Store and Cydia through 09/21/14 to 09/27/14. Apple's Free App of the Week is Whac A Mole.

Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video to make your
point. You clearly know what youre talking about, why waste your intelligence on just posting videos to
your blog when you could be giving us something enlightening to read?

In Port Washington area, an individual can have business and job opportunities.
However, the realtors make it a point to take you to the different homes shortlisted by you so that you can be aware of
the surrounding areas, proximity to metro station, bus
stop, malls and convenience stores. Understanding who pays what closing costs can be almost as complicated as decoding which agent gets a
sales commission and why.

An interesting discussion is worth comment. I think that you need to write
more on this subject matter, it might not be a taboo subject but usually people
don't talk about these topics. To the next! Best wishes!!
