The Windows Phone app gap continues to closeįitbit’s app follows the launch of Uber for Windows Phone, another high-profile release that helps close the app gap between Windows Phone and iOS or Android.
#WHAT IS H BAND APP UPDATE#
You'll need both Windows Phone 8.1 and the Lumia Cyan update to use the Fitbit app fully, but both are rolling out to devices at the moment. The introduction of a Windows Phone app now means Fitbit supports nearly 100 mobile devices, with 72 Android, 9 iOS, and 17 Windows devices. You can also log more than 350,000 different foods to keep count of more than just activity. The app has real-time and historical data, with graphs and progress tracking. Bluetooth support is greatly improved with the 8.1 update, and Fitbit is the first to take advantage of it with a new mobile syncing app for Windows Phone 8.1.įitbit’s Windows Phone 8.1 app will be available in the Store today, and just like its iOS and Android counterparts it will automatically sync Fitbit activity wirelessly. Thanks to Windows Phone 8.1, that might be about to change. Companies appeared to be ignoring Microsoft’s platforms in favor of iOS and Android. At the Consumer Electronics Show earlier this year it was clear Microsoft had a problem: exciting new hardware like Pebble, Nest, and various fitness bands were not fully supported on Windows.
