Hello FB Community, I recently made the jump to Fitbit Ionic after reading mostly positive reviews. Previously, I used the Runkeeper App on my android phone via Bluetooth and always enjoyed the audio feedback cues while meeting running milestones.
I have, so far, enjoyed my experience with the Ionic and although I do receive the vibrate feedback for hitting certain cues. I do miss the audio/voice cues. I was just wondering whether I had missed a set-up or if this feature is not actually available? It seems like something that would be fairly straightforward to implement.
Thanks all

A warm welcome to the Community @SachS! I'm glad to hear that you bought a Fitbit Ionic based on the positive reviews.
Thanks for the details that you've mentioned regarding the voice cues that you used to receive with Runkeeper app.
When you set cues for Fitbit Ionic, your device will notify you based on the cues that you set when you start the exercise. However, these cues won't work like voice cues as you have on the Fitbit app. This will only vibrate to let you know that you've reached it. You can learn more about it by checking this article.
If you would like to have voice cues, you can use the Fitbit app instead of your Ionic and you'll receive a voice cue. Check out more information about it by checking this article How do I use the Fitbit app to capture GPS data?.
Additionally, I was reviewing our Feature Suggestions and found this one Audible Run Cues. You can vote and comment on it, these are reviewed by our team at Fitbit.
Hope this clarifies any doubt! I'll be around if you need further assistance.
