Integration with other fitness apps #6

Love the idea btw. Have you thought about having workout data pulled from other fitness apps (FitBit, Apple Health, Runkeeper, Strava).

I personally am a fitbit user and I push the data to other apps, and also have other apps push into it.

If you pick the top fitness apps (Fitbit, Apple Health) or others that have bidirectional data sharing (push out to other apps, and pull from other apps) that you could attract more users.

@tnhabib love the idea! But first we would need to look at the data FitBit and so on saves. I don't know how we could use that and maybe it should be a post MVP feature to be able to import fitness data from other apps? Since this may be time consuming.

We probably can add integration of any service that provides a public API, that we can make use of.

But as @KrisKodira said, its probably a post MVP feature, tho it will be a important step to improve the user experience
