Health Importer is a utility app that allows you to import data into your Health App. The import process works with data that is stored in the CSV (comma-separated value) file format.

This app is useful as a tool for a one-time import of data or for continuous updates. Duplicate entries are automatically detected and will be replaced instead of creating multiple copies for each data item entered. In addition, if you ever have a need you can easily remove all data that has been added via this app (without worry about losing any data entered via another app).

NOTE: This app does not store any data itself. It simply loads data from your CSV file and then places it into Health App, never saving it anywhere else. Your privacy and the security of your data is very important to us.

Data should be provided in columns that include at least (1) date/time column and then each type of tracked data (weight, bmi, etc) should be provided in separate columns.

Pros and cons of Health Importer app for iPhone and iPad

Health Importer app good for

I did exactly what it says it does. I had a Google spreadsheet with my weight data logged since 2010. Using this app I was able to quickly and easily import years of data in a couple minutes. It was formatted correctly, it was fast, and it was easy to use. I have a feeling the people that gave it zero stars didnt read the instructions. It worked perfectly for me, first time.
The app works well and will import your data correctly. I miss an import from a Safari or chrome browser, would be very nice to import directly from the web.
I lost my phone and since I was not syncing encryption-required data, I lost all of my health data. But luckily, I had most of my data synced with "Lose It!" App. To my disbelief that iOS does not allow importing health data, I was desperately in search of a method to import my data into iOS health app and I came across this app!A little price and horrible reviews, but my depression forced me to buy it regardless, and boy I did not regret it! They thought of every possibility! How date might have been formatted and how the data is arranged! All in the most simplest way! It took me 10 minutes to import thousands of lines of data! Regarding all these negative comments, my guess is that they either didnt read the instructions (10 lines) properly, or the application owners significantly improved the app! Thank you so much! This saved mea huge frustration!!
Basically the only app to import external data into HealthApp Use to import my stats from Basis PEAK fitness sensor. No settings at all- just give the source file and "magic happens"...)

Some bad moments

Bought this a while back, just tried using it today. Simple file; date, time, integer (water intake in fl oz). App lets me select the date format, but for time it shows date again. For the water, it only shows L/ml, no ounces. I figure it will put the number into the field no matter what the control says so I select Liters. Ive tried it several times, with no success. Completely fails to import my data, which I believe is the entire point of the app. Should be no stars. Requesting refund.
or I dont know how to configure it. There is not much explanation on what to do. Ive tried different Excel files but didnt work. Also I couldnt find how to get in contact with the developer
This will be a nice puzzle, figuring out what exact format is needed to avoid crashing.
The app crashes and I do not even get to the import screen to start importing and there is no contact information to find out what to do. I would like my money back.
As the other review said this app crashes and does not work at this time. Additionally it would be nice it it accepted more date time formats and even separate columns for date and time.
The idea is great, but the app keeps crashing without doing what it is supposed to do. Please fix and refund buyers until it works.
