The first HealthKit compatible app is FitPort, available now

After the seemingly last-second decision to delay HealthKit app support -- which was originally intended to launch alongside iOS 8 -- Apple's iOS 8.0.2 update has officially opened the App Store doors for third parties looking to tap into the new personal health vault.

The first such app is FitPort, a "fitness dashboard" app created by Tokyo-based Flask LLP. The app does little more than organize your stored heath data like activity, calorie intake, and body fat percentage, and present it in a more aesthetically-pleasing manner than Apple's own Health app already does. FitPort -- priced at US$1.99 -- is surely just the first in a landslide of new health apps that will be burying App Store shoppers in the coming hours and days, so try to keep your head above water.
