Fitbit app now out on Android

The Android faithful can join their iPhone-toting brethren in counting calories and logging exercise at long last

fitbit android app out now

Fitbit users with an iOS device have been calorie counting and logging their exercise stats with the iOS Fitbit app since last October while Android health enthusiasts could only look on - until now.

Fitbit has released a free Android app to supplement its health tracking device, allowing users to count how many calories they've burned and how much exercise they've done.

There's still no app support for viewing your sleeping data, meaning you'll still have to use the Fitbit website and a PC to upload sleep stats.

Still, it's a free step in the right direction and should hopefully encourage Android-carrying Fitbit owners.

 Yeah, I thought this app sounded ok, so went to iTunes to download it and couldn't find it. Even checked their webpage. Sent them an email and they wrote: "Currently the app is only available in the US, UK and Canada. It will be available in other locations in the near future."

Seems strange for an Australian magazine to be promoting an app that's not even available here.

 It common practice for Australian Car magazines to promote overseas models of vehicles that may never be sold here. So in this digital world, where goegraphic boudaries are almost irrelevant - ways to get around them, then it is quite reasonable for computer magazines to promote what is happening overseas. the only rider - the magazine shoudl state that this app is not available in Australia - expected to be available within....
