FitBit releases updated Android app with Bluetooth 4.0, NFC support
While Nike may think Android is not a fit for a Fuel Band app, FitBit seems to be fully committed to the platform. Today, FitBit has released an updated Android app adding Bluetooth 4.0 support to allow the Fitbit One, Fitbit Zip and Fitbit Flex to sync in real time throughout the day. Once the FitBit Flex is released this spring, users will be able to take advantage of the built-in NFC functionality, which can be used to launch the FitBit app when you tap your Flex band on your Android phone.
For now, FitBit is considering this release as a “beta” build since syncing can take up to 30 seconds, but that should change in the near future. Another update will bring the sync time down to 10 seconds. The FitBit app is currently compatible with the Samsung Galaxy S III and the Note II, but more devices should be added to the compatibility list in the near future.
If you own a FitBit product, download the latest app update and let us know what you think of the new Bluetooth 4.0 syncing functionality.
