You Should Know:

At the moment we don’t insert any data to the Apple Health app, but we can pull the following data from your Apple Health app:

– Steps
– Walking and running distance
– Workouts

Steps
Most iOS devices automatically track steps the entire day. These steps are saved in the Apple Health app with a specific duration. Our Fitness app reads the amount of steps and creates a RIPP CITY Fitness steps activity which is added to your activity calendar.

Walking and running distance
Just like the steps, the walking and running distance is also tracked by default on most iOS devices. When RIPP CITY Fitness pulls the distance data from the Apple Health app it will always be added to an existing (Apple Health app) step activity. On top of that, we make an estimation for the amount of burned calories and walking duration based on the distance and average walking speed.

Workouts
Workouts can also be pulled from the Apple Health app. Workouts are not tracked by default by an iOS device, but they can be inserted into the Apple Health app by other apps. Other apps can specify a workout type, amount of calories burned, distance and duration for a workout. The RIPP CITY Fitness app is able to pull most of the different workout types from the Apple Health app and will add them to your activity calendar.
