The problem with HealthKit is the lack of testing. Developers may have had the beta app for months - but it couldn't do anything. The app relies (mostly) on data from third party apps and due to the beta testing limitations (100 devices) people running iOS 8 betas couldn't install HealthKit beta apps and test them with the HealthKit app. Same things applies to keyboards which I've found to be very buggy and I think most of it is on the OS side not the keyboard app side. Hopefully this won't be as big of an issue next year with the new TestFlight service (1000 users limitation).
