Will it be possible to delete pre-installed apps like Pandora and Starbucks? Pandora isn't available in Germany and I don't really want a 350€ Starbucks ad on my wrist?

It will be a capability to add/remove apps from the app:

 

You can choose to delete most apps installed on Ionic.


To remove an app:
1. With your watch nearby, on the Fitbit app dashboard, tap or click the Account icon ( ) > Ionic tile.
2. Tap or click Apps.
3. Under My Apps, find the app you want to remove. You may have to scroll down to see some of the apps.

4. Tap or click the app > Remove.

Haha no idea, but it is a good question. Neither of those are available in Australia.

I believe you can check and uncheck the apps you want/don't want in the Fitbit app on your phone. I will post back for more info later

This is a great question, I don't want the Credit card, Starbucks, or Pandora clogging up my unit....I look forward to seeing how easy this can be done.

Yes you can. On your phone open up the Fitbit app.

1. Go to your account and click your devise (Ionic). Choose Apps.

2. Under My Apps (which is what's install in your Fitbit) scroll down to whatever app you want to delete for example Pandora.

3. Click Pandora. You will see the Unistall. Click Unistall

4. Go back to your Fitbit and you'll see it's deleted.

 

I did noticed that some apps take longer to show it's deleted. I have even turn off and on my Fitbit and it still was there. It eventually got deleted so give it some time after you click Unistall. 

 

I have a Samsung 8+ . I'm sure it's the same with other phones.

I've tried everything I could think of to Remove Weather but no luck.  The Uninstall option doesn't appear and I've been unable to get it to appear.

Yes I noticed the uninstall is not there for us to be able to delete. I would suggest calling support for this. If you do, please post what they said about it. Thanks.

That's good hint - the fact it doesn't work (but theoretically should)
