Official Google Fit app launches on Google Play

Several months after releasing a Google Fit SDK - so that developers could make fitness apps themselves - Google today launched its very own Fit app.

Obviously available via Google Play, the Google Fit app lets you set fitness goals, and track activities like walking, running, or cycling. All you have to do is download and install the app, then carry your phone or Android Wear smartwatch to let hem collect fitness data. Google Fit can be connected to third party devices, and can be accessed on your tablet, as well as on the web (on any PC or laptop).

We’ve yet to thoroughly test Google Fit (since it’s just been released), but you can see some screenshots of it, taken on Android KitKat, in the slideshow below. The initial impression is a positive one: this is a well made, well designed application that could really lead you towards a more active lifestyle.

Let us know if you’re downloading Google Fit on your Android phone, and if you plan to use it often. The app is free, and you can grab it at the source link below.
