Spotify & Fitbit

[KyleS234]

When is Fitbit going to partner with Spotify to bring better music to the watch. This is a no brainier for me and so many others. Spotify is the #1 music service in the business!  I love using fitbit but am considering moving to another watch that supports better music streaming.

@SHEA49 @SunsetRunner Welcome to the Fitbit family! Thanks for your interest in a Spotify app for Fitbit Versa.

I was making some research at the Feature Suggestions Board and was able to find the following idea:

• Spotify for Ionic/Versa

Please add your vote to that suggestion. The more votes, the better.

Keep me posted!

What is the point of even having the ionic? I bought it because I thought I could leave phone at home and now I have to wear it and carry phone for Spotify.

@Mgrear12 Welcome to the Fitbit Community! Thanks for your interest on a Spotify app for Ionic.

Currently, it is only possible to control Spotify music on your phone through the watch. 

I'd recommend voting for the following Feature Suggestion:

• Spotify for Ionic/Versa

However, there are more app options for you to download on Ionic:

• Transfer music.
• Pandora.
• Deezer.

Stay tuned to the Spotify idea for updates. 

See you around! 

[SunsetRunner]

Na. Nevermind.

[Mgrear12]

Na, never mind what ?

@SunsetRunner @Mgrear12 Thanks for your replies. Can you provide more details? Have you tried any of the other options Fitbit has to offer at this moment to download playlists to Ionic?

Keep me posted if you need more help and make sure to support the Feature Suggestions about Spotify for Fitbit watches.

I decided to return the Fitbit. I wanted a device I could run with without carrying a phone. That was one of my main priorities. Spotify is the largest music application and it’s disappointing that Fitbit does not have a contract with them.

@Mgrear12 Thanks for your reply and for providing those details. 

Sorry to see you go! Hopefully, this feature will be available in the future. In the meantime, Fitbit offers the apps posted here. 

Keep me posted!

it also appears about 8,000 people feel the same way, have commented and liked the Spotify suggestion and it's now been over a year since the original features suggestion and no update at all? come on, don't keep directing us to the feature suggestions if you have no intention on listening to us. you'd think for a company that runs the tracker market would work with the company that runs the streaming market but clearly, corporate execs are more worried about making products comparable to apple watches rather than giving their consumers what they want. 

[mcorrell89]

feature suggestion boards are USELESS. why even bother having them if you don't ever listen to your consumers?!?

Hey Fitbit,

I wish you could put Spotify on the versa because I live in Australia and a lot of other people in Australia and other countries can't use Pandora and may not like Deezer and would like Spotify so please could you put it on there. 

Regards Laura

[Rich_Laue]

Have you contacted Spotify to ask if they will partner up?

Voted for the request?

Spotify for Ionic/Versa

Fitbit can not do anything without Spotify approval.

[ViktorL]

Agreed, Spotify needed! Please add, you are missing a huge amount of people by only having Pandora. 

[MarreFitbit]

Thanks for jumping in here @ViktorL and @laura999! I was wondering the same than @Rich_Laue. Have you guys voted for this suggestion already?

My whole family received Fitbits for Christmas. There has been talk for a long time about getting Spotify as a feature. We are planning to return these devises tomorrow unless we know that Spotify will be available soon. What is the timeline here?
