Suggesting existing apps to add

[MarinaPereira]

I've purchased versa3 after much research and as I'm setting it up I've noticed that none of the apps I already use and that are integrated on my phone work synced with smartwatch or need upgrade to premium in app.

Would be wonderful if sync was possible with: calm app, Google tasks app, phone alarms, Google assistant app, SoundCloud (not premium)...

And that apps like SoundCloud, or other apps which features were said to sync with smartwatch had not to be paid versions to work with smartwatch or need different app than the one you already use.

These are just some of the apps I noticed in the first 24 hours of set up and use.

Also the fact that you need to get an annually paid premium account to fully use this smartwatch (which is not cheap) is also something that feel was not truthful before buying.

Hi @MarinaPereira  - have you checked in the Fitbit App, click profile photo, device photo, notifications,  app notifications are set properly?

Google assistant works if you live in an implemented country, though GA routines don't..

Phone alarm on Android doesn't raise a notification but a five minute warning instead, but you can use in the watch atarms instead.

Make sure your phone and phone apps are raising the appropriate notifications and your watch is syncing properly.

A few third party apps, require by the third party. 'a payed subscription. This is beyond the control of fitbit

I can imagine it is being footboy control but instead of getting more used apps to work with footboy, the apps are under rated and oblige me to completely change my way of structurally organise my life. Besides, I need all my devices to be synced and not just smartwatch. It almost seems that instead of technology being used to our benefit it rather is using is to its benefit. That shouldn't be the case ever. 

I do need a solution and if this is the best smartwatch for people with ADHD I disagree completely. Am thinking of sending it back for full reimburse which will also be extended to the app premium account.

I shouldn't need to set two devices if they are in sync. I did try a 10 euro supposed smartwatch that linked immediately with no trouble to ask my main apps and sent me all the notifications with no Hassel. This one... I already spent hours on end having to read manuals and sites and... It does have a couple things that are great for people with ADHD, but all the notifications such seem basic in a very basic watch are non existent in Fitbit.

And yes, I do have all notifications on.

No WhatsApp, no Messenger, no SoundCloud, no Google tasks or any other Google app besides calendar, calm app (though some mindful videos you give us access are from calm app) and all others I referred to.

Am I supposed to change all the apps I use just because there is no interest in getting this smartwatch technology work for us?

It's there any interest in making this watch really powerful? 

As I write to the other person that replied, I am considering very seriously in sending watch back and just get a less expensive one.

I am very disappointed mainly after all the research I did and now feeli was misleaded completely.

@MarinaPereiraYour notifications should work oy may be a phone issue - Probably best to contact Fitbit Support directly. They may be able to help you fix each of the things.

Also reachable via the Fitbit App, click profile photo, Help & Support, Contact Customer Support.
