The Microsoft Band 2 had a great app that used the accelerometer and GPS along with Course maps to give you current yards to hole, tracked your swings and such, any news if there will be a golf app for the fitbit Ionic?

Hello everyone! I merged several threads about Golf tracking app to a more general thread about the same to keep this topic organized.
The Golf App is coming soon. I understand this has been delayed for a while now. However, the Fitbit team is still working on it. I'm sure the app they are preparing will be great, that is why is taking some time. Stay tuned for updates!
Thanks for your patience. See you around!

I hear ya. Iive my Ionic as well but was hoping for this app to be available as well. I also have the Garmin S20 but if this game golf app can do everything it does with the stats and showing where your ball goes on the app after then I'll be one happy man. Keep me posted!

Hey -
Thanks for consolidating the various threads regarding Fitbit Golf inquiries.
I recently purchased the Ionic with the thought that there would be a golf app. I am hoping it comes out soon - thanks again -

Hi Santi,
We just need to know what "soon" looks like. Is it ->. It's developed and in testing and we are ironing out some bugs before releasing or -> we are still developing.. and is soon days, weeks or months? Just an honest answer will be better that dragging everyone along and losing good will.. cheers

Thanks for the update, Santi. Definitely looking forward to the golf app. Do you know if we'll be able to access our exercise app while using the game golf app? I posted a feature suggestion previously regarding access to other apps while tracking an exercise. Another user posted a similar suggestion titled Multi-tasking. Obviously I'm interested in tracking my shots and rangefinder, but it would be nice to track my exercise in parallel too.

Hello,
So I received an email today saying new apps were available including Game Golf which I have been hanging out for. However, when logging into the available apps - it's not there. Can anyone tell me where to find it please? Thanks

I got the email too and it linked to a blog entry. In there it said that app was "coming soon"

Just paid for my phone golf app so take your time. I won't be in the market for a golf app until next February.

My bet is that the golf app will be part of a major update Fitbit is preparing for us Ionic owners!

Hey the donn57, be careful of the battery usage of a golf gps app on your phone. I used one and it had significantly drained my phone in about 15 holes. I was using that phone for work too, so it became a problem and I stopped using the app. Maybe I should have just quit work! Lol

I would think this golf app will not need a phone to work, the ionic has GPS so it should be a stand alone app just like the Garmin watch fenix just load the course that your playing and your good to go.

I've been using them for years. My Pixel 2 is only about 40% drained after 18 holes.

I would hope so, but it's too late this year. Hopefully, it's even better next year if it ever comes out.

Hi, yes I agree. The battery issue I mentioned was a phone only app. I think the Iconic will be a perfect match for a golf gps app! Can’t wait!

Hello friends! Thank you all for posting on this thread regarding the Golf App that is coming soon for Fitbit Ionic and for your excitement towards it.
Honestly, I do not have an exact time frame as to when this app will be released. The only information I have is that "it is coming soon". Personally, I believe it shouldn't take that long though, I'm sure the Fitbit team is working on a great Golf App that will be so good that all the time waiting will be worth it. Anyways, I will let you know if I find out anything about a possible time frame for release.
Rest assured that once I have more details about the app and how exactly it's gonna work, I'll be posting that here.
Please stay tuned to this thread for more updates about this app!
As always, thank you all for your patience. I'll see you around!
