I expect other apps to start offering the functionality that both these have, probably built directly into their logging capabilities which will mean we can have our workouts logged to Strava as soon as they are complete, much like you can with a Garmin watch and Garmin Connect now. Interestingly I found HealthFit to be more accurate for swimming data exports, which I assume is to do with the construction of the FIT files and how other platforms read them, but RunGap is more comprehensive and quicker if you want to export to Strava, TP, GC, dropbox with one tap and works great for everything else. FIT is a Garmin file format that pretty much every platform I have come across can import. It currently has a single export to Strava (UPDATE: Since version 1.0.9 (8) you can now directly export to TrainingPeaks, and SportTracks), but you can also export FIT files to iCloud or email, which you can then import into other platforms. HealthFit is more single focussed on pure export and getting data out for you to put elsewhere through a few simple options. RunGap has more configuration and options than HealthFit – you can export to many different platforms as well as Strava, you can edit titles etc before exporting, and even tag photo’s to associate with the activity.

HealthFit vs RunGapįirst a quick word about how these two apps compare. Following my review of the RunGap app for exporting your Workout data I was sent a link to a new app called HealthFit which is a less ambitous approach to dealing with the same issue of how to get your Workout data into Strava, Training Peaks, Garmin Connect and more, but still very effective none-the-less.
