Yeah, the ActiFit app only displays the internal count (phone accelerometer) on the front page, even in Fitbit synch mode. The only way for it to display the Fitbit count is to synch the device on the post screen.
Last I heard it was due to Fitbit being very protective of personal data and wary of allowing third party access, but it’s been months, maybe a year since the iPhone app was updated, so it could be due to lack of development (still doesn’t display the post preview images at all or have the ability to use emojis!).
