Fitbit app for Android

[spidey]

I was having problems with my Samsung Galaxy tablet so reset it to factory settings.....now can't download the fitbit app because apparently my tablet is incompatible despite me gsvinh it on here before the reset?

Hi @spidey  sad, but true. Sometime in the summer the Fitbit app was updated to requiring a minimum of Android 8 to install, so the older versions of the app were removed from the Play Store. Any chance you have a smartphone?

[spidey]

Yes I have an iPhone and it's syncing to that.

What a pain in the arse though. Is there any chance they'll change it I wonder?

[Odyssey13]

Not sure, @spidey , but you never know the future of these devices and compatibility. I know more people are using their smartphones and not tablets or laptops.

I've also found out I can't download Amazon app.

I can't  see phones completely taking over tablets or laptops. They're too small  and fiddly  to type out anything but the briefest of messages

Hi @Larrybit  and @spidey  if you do a quick search, you'll see that while Amazon uses a form of Android, it's called Fire OS and it's not a full version of Android. They also do not use the Google Play Store, but their own Amazon app store. I know people who only get online with their smartphones and they don't own a tablet or a computer. I prefer a nice desktop computer so I can see everything on it, plus stream some shows.
