Earlier today, App Store has just received a new update bringing a new section called “Apps for health”, as you guessed, this section lists several apps that use iOS 8′s Health app to aggregate health and fitness data into a unified location for users.
After delaying HealthKit-compatible apps due to a critical bug in the first version of iOS 8, Apple released iOS 8.0.2 on Thursday and quickly began approving apps that take advantage of the health-tracking features the following day.
