'''Easy Switch brings your history over from another app.''' Your food log, your weigh-ins, your measurements and your workouts, filed into Loopa as if you had logged them here. It is free, and it always will be — your own history is not something to charge you for.
You will find it under '''More''', then '''Easy Switch'''.
== What it reads ==
- '''MyFitnessPal''' — the account export, or the premium CSV.
- '''Lose It!''' — the account export.
- '''Cronometer''' — the CSV export.
- '''Apple Health''' — the full export from the Health app on iPhone.
- '''Health Connect''' — on Android.
- '''Any other tracker''', through the generic CSV mapper: you tell Loopa once which column is which, and it remembers that mapping for next time.
Between them these cover food entries, weight, body measurements, activity and workouts, your own custom foods and recipes, and your goals.
== Nothing lands until you say so ==
Loopa reads the file, works out what is in it, and '''shows you the counts before anything reaches your log''' — so many food entries, so many weigh-ins, this date to that date. You look at that and decide.
Only when you confirm does any of it become your data. If the file was the wrong one, or the numbers are not what you expected, you close it and nothing has happened.
== You can take it back ==
For '''30 days''' after an import you can undo it. That removes what the import added and leaves everything you logged yourself exactly where it was.
After 30 days the undo is gone, and the reason is that the entries have stopped being "an import" by then — they are just your history, sitting among things you have logged since, and pulling one thread out cleanly is no longer possible.
== Duplicates ==
Importing the same file twice does not double anything. Every row carries a fingerprint, and a row Loopa has already seen is skipped rather than added again. The same check stops an Apple Health import colliding with the workouts your watch is already syncing.
== Your file does not stay on our servers ==
The upload is destroyed once it has been read. While it is being processed it is encrypted with your own key, the same as the rest of your health data — a staging area is not a loophole.
== One thing to know about the free tier ==
Everything imports. All of it is stored, and none of it is thrown away.
What differs is how far back you can '''see'''. On the free tier Loopa shows a rolling 30 days of your metrics, so an import covering three years is all there but only the last month is on screen. Premium opens the whole thing up, including everything you brought with you.
== Android and Health Connect ==
Android hands an app only the '''last 30 days''' of Health Connect history unless you grant the extra history permission. If your older readings do not come across, that permission is usually why — grant it in Health Connect and run the import again.
== If something looks wrong ==
Check the date range on the preview first: most surprises are a file that covers less than you expected rather than an import that dropped something. If the counts look right and the entries still are not there, undo it within the 30 days and get in touch.
