Weather app on Fitbit ionic

[SunsetRunner]

Hello! I’ve had my ionic about two weeks and I love it! But this morning it’s telling me to go to a website and enter a code to keep using my “big weather” app so I did now it’s asking me to pay! I’m not paying to get weather on my watch lol how do I get rid of the app? I tried removing it the way I removed my Starbucks app but there’s no remove button. And it won’t let me use my watch till I set up pay for my weather app. Help

@SunsetRunner, on your Fitbit app Ionic Device screen -> Apps -> My Apps,  when you select that app, does it not have an Uninstall button/link?

Hi @SunsetRunner and welcome to the Community!

Replacing your watch face is easy.  Just go to the "Watch Faces" section on your App (under the settings for the Ionic) and choose any new watch face you want.  Once it downloads, the face on the watch with change and you will no longer have the Big Weather one.

I know that it's only 99 cents, but do not buy that watchface.  My wife got it and the weather never works on it.  It's a total waste of money.

I have the same issue as its asking me to pay for the Big Weather app. How do I remove this notification?

[sewwatters]

You have to change your clock face. That face isn't free.

It is a shame that we are not notified from the onset of selecting these apps that there will be a fee in the future. 

Fitbit needs to have their store set up more like Google Play and iTunes, where they show free and the pay for apps.  

I fell for the cool watch face app as well and really enjoy the adaptability of the app.  I too got frustrated when this msg began popping up.

It sounds like Fitbit is heading down a slippery slope with the Ionic..... it isn't even dialed in and meeting sales expectations yet, and they're already allowing vendors with sketchy sales tactics in 😱

[ScottKilbo]

It's a third party watch face.  The only control that Fitbit could exercise over that is to just not allow third party developers to sell on the Fitbit platform.  If they did that, then not as many people would develop for them.  Not all developers want to work for free.  They probably want lots of apps and watch faces, and not permitting sales would stifle that and then people would be complaining that there isn't enough available for Fitbit.

I paid for the big weather app & I loved it. I bought a new phone and after a week or so it ask for a code and wanted me to pay again. Now it don’t even show as a available app. What’s up with this. maggiesue244@gmail.com
