With iOS 8 officially downloading to existing devices today, enthusiasm for Apple's central health system has been dampened by last-minute bugs that will push the arrival of compatible apps into late September.

The Wall Street Journal today reported that Apple had problems launching its new HealthKit initiative alongside the release of iOS 8 on Wednesday, but engineers in Cupertino are "working quickly" to fix the issue with the next software update.

HealthKit was unveiled at WWDC 2014 earlier this year, where Apple hailed the software as a central repository for a user's health and fitness data, which could be accessed (with permission) by doctors, third-party app developers, and hospitals.

if Apple can't get their act together on this, it will be a complete failure, the only reason this looked great is you could take multiple health apps and incorporate them into one app.
