  • When do you release a spotify app?! Music as mp3 from the computer is soo oldschool. the process shoot me back to 2000.

  • Thank you guys for growing your app market. It was underwhelming at launch but this has me more optomistic.

    That said, I would love to see runkeeper support as well as PLEX.

  • I love the Pandora app and looking forward to the Yelp and Lyft app. I would love to see American Airlines on the list with United and BA.

  • I would love to see iTunes! Downloading MP3’s is a little ridiculous and a bit of a throw-back (not in a good way).

  • Could you guys pick two worse newspapers than the Washington Post and the New York Times…..both papers are a joke.

  • I am going Skiing. What Exercise do you suggest is the best to use in the Customize Settings to imitate Skiing to collect the statistics from activity during Ski Runs? Would it be Outdoor Bike or Run or Hike or another ?

  • Had to send my ionic back due to it not being compatible with my oneplus 5t. Would buy it again if this were fixed but just looking at alternatives at the moment.

  • While the Fitbit Iconic does track some activity while kayaking, what is the best exercise setting for kayaking?

  • I just want my Fitbit to what it does. Keep a record of what I’m doing. If I want to shop, I will use a notepad not a watch.

    Don’t try to make this more tan it is. PERFECT.

  • Most of these apps are American. Not every one lives in America. What about New Zealanders and Brits? Put some apps on for us so we can use them.

  • Some of these apps are useful to some people, and it is great to see Fitbit working on getting suitable apps for the Ionic. But…. I commented on the Fitbit Community Forum not long after I got my Ionic, asking about having the ability to set a max. and min. HR and having a noise or vibration to indicate when I have crossed them. I have received a lot of positive replies from other Fitbit users, some of whom have how long they have been asking for the above.

    Secondly would be possible to have an app/software up date that has a metronome for tempo running included?

    Regards

    • Yes! That is exactly what I want as well!! Do you think Apple watch or others have the heart rate notify feature? Did you ever hear back about this on Fitbit?

  • In Australia and SO wanting Spotify. All my ITunes music is so old and I am not buying more when I have Spotify. Really don’t want to take my phone with me just for the music.

  • I feel that may be being among the most very important information in my opinion. And i’m happy studying your post. Nonetheless wish to observation upon couple of usual troubles, The positioning style is best, the articles or blog posts is really awesome : Chemical.. auto license plates and frames Excellent undertaking, all the best

  • Woah this specific blog page is a plus i favor reading through the articles you write. Maintain the good work! You are aware of, many people are seeking spherical with this information, you could help them tremendously.. license plate in Florida

  • Please can the ‘stocks’ app be updated to include other markets than the US? I’m in the UK and can not see my stocks.

  • It’s now approaching April 18 and neither Game Golf or Uber or Lyft and other are available? Any attempt to extract an update from Fitbit has failed.. An official response with even a guesstimate of when they will be available would be very much appreciated

  • It would be very helpful to have some weather information. High temp, low temp, rain forecast, etc.

  • The reason I upgraded to Ionic was because of the ability to store music and use Pandora/Deezer. That being said, my gym has multiple TV monitors and used FM frequencies to transmit the audio wirelessly.
    It would be awesome if there was an app that made it possible to receive those signals so that I could listen to the news and sports games that are played on those TVs.
