    Why no reply or press release about wwhen the andriod app will have this ability. I would have commented on the polar blog about this too but it doesnt have a comments area. Im no tech expert but surely the ios app and the andriod up would have the same or close enough to base vode that the update to sync/link the 2 apps wouldnt take so much extra time. Lazy IT and app writers. Com’on whats good for 1 platform is surely as good for the other.

      The 2 apps are 100% different code bases, in different languages, probably using a variety of different 3rd party libraries. Android and iOS development isn’t just a question of automatically porting code snippets across the divide. (Nevermind what a nightmare testing for Android is.)

      That said, adding a simple connection/sync to an API you’ve already integrated with once should be dead simple. At this point, almost a year after iOS feature release, it’s inexcusable not to have it.

    This is lame. I use both and have an android phone. This should have come to android users first since we seem to be more tech savy than apple users who need things simple. I use both Flow and MFP. It would be great for them to sync. I have recommended the loop to so many people in the past few months because both were to sync. I feel let down by a product I fully stand behind. Please provide us with some sort of update as to when Polar and MFP wi provide the same to android users. We should not be treated any different as there are more of us than apple users.

    Why do the vendors aim at iPhone? The market share is dropping and dropping. Android clearly dominates the market.
    From a Marketing perspective, you are just aiming at the minority. Well, one may call this silly.

    So, I hope, you aim at both asap.

    Polar will be on board in 4-6 weeks. Check out this new app the FitCoin download now. App synchs with your calorie tracking device i.e. fitbit, and converts your calories into virtual money. Thats it! Its that simple yet genius. Purchase gift certificates, discounts or promotional items with your calories burned. Now thats my idea of motivation and support for being fit and health conscious. Happy Tracking!

    8 Months is more than enough time to replicate functionality from iOS to Android. So there must be another reason why Android users are ignored. Does myfitnesspal have a secret exclusiveness deal with Apple?

    There will be some business reason for not doing the integration on Android. It’s not related to caring about users, or doing the right thing. Under all of these apparently odd situations is a cold blooded, number based business decision.

    The M400 (android user) does have a place in my heart for the ease of use! Though just because of the lack of share features. I’m tempted to give up on the M400. Especially since I’ve been the M400 almost since day one.

    I really can’t understand why polar are not providing this facility for Android users considering that they significantly outnumber iOS users. I pointed this out to Polar many months ago but was met with a blank response. If their technology is not compatible with Android (I very much doubt that it can be) then they should tell us. If not then they should explain why it is that they are ignoring their Android customers. Not exactly exemplars of good customer relations.

    I’m confused. I have Android app for both. I put my meals in MyFitnessPal App. I put my workouts in Flow App. Within a few hours (I don’t know how often the two system talk to each other) my workout information is automagically updated into the MyFitnessPal app. It does misclassify my rides as runs, but I’m more concerned w/calories, which do come across.

    Why is everyone saying that these don’t work together in Android?
