Microsoft to eliminate Health & Fitness app

Microsoft has announced plans to discontinue its MSN Health & Fitness app, effective Nov. 1, according to mobihealthnews.

The activity tracking and educational app allowed users to view exercise videos, learn about the human body, track diets, monitor workouts and research symptoms.

According to a company statement, Microsoft said it regularly evaluates business areas to determine where users find the most value. "We will continue to support those apps with broad consumer appeal."

The Health & Fitness app is separate from Microsoft Health, an app launched in October 2014 that connects to the wearable Microsoft Band.
