Call and Contact App (CallFitBit App for Testing)

[abinash7]

Hi All,

When i got my versa, i felt like missing a serious functionality to initiate a call.

If someone i wish to call while driving, i can't do that. right..?

So, i developed an app for myself, which loads the contacts from my phone.

I can select the contact and call from my versa now. Then i added favorite list as well for quick call.

I thought of sharing the app with others, so if any body interested can use.

App  

You need a companion app to be installed on android as well,

Download link:

- download and install the app

- Right now the solution is on android only.

Note: Please use it with your own responsibility.

Source code of Companion App is available on link below,

These links do not take you to the Fitbit app Gallery. Do not follow them.

Can you clarify...where it takes?

There are two options to get the app for Fitbit, 

Option 1: To download using Fitbit app store

Option 2: To download using private link from Fitbit gallery (This is for test version of the app)

Right now my idea is to let others test the app if someone wish to, so that I can fix issues if any.

The first link took me to a server error message. The second took me to an invitation to GrubHub. Please edit your post and remove the links.

Welcome to the Community Forums @abinash7! Thanks for your interest in developing this app to initiate calls on Fitbit Versa. 

As @SunsetRunner mentioned, it seems that the links you've provided don't work. Can you please be so kind to check them?

In the meantime, I'd appreciate if you can take a look at the help article: How do I develop new apps for the Fitbit App Gallery?  to make sure you've properly followed the guidelines to create your app.

I'll be here if there's anything you'd like me to help you with.

Hi @abinash7 , this is a much needed fitbit features. Do you think you'll be able to add the Sense as a supported device?

Thanks very much @abinash7 . I've been able to install it on my Sense.

I'm unable to sync it to the phone app though. I've granted all permissions to the companion app and started the service, but the sync doesn't seem to do anything.
