Longer countdown timer on Fitbit Ionic

[cecily.gray]

The countdown timer only goes to 99 minutes. I am a flight attendant and used to use my Apple Watch the set a timer for the flight so that I would know how much time was left to be able to communicate with passengers. I can no longer do this as the countdown timer only goes to 99 minutes and most of our flights are longer than that!

Welcome to the Fitbit Community @cecily.gray, hope you're doing great! Thanks for posting your idea for an improved countdown timer app.

Have you tried every timer/stopwatch apps found on the Fitbit App Gallery? Have you seen if any of those support the 99+ minutes you would like to have?

Up to 39 apps can be installed on your watch at a time. Your watch must be connected to Wi-Fi in order for some apps to install or update. To install an app:

1. With your watch nearby, on the Fitbit app dashboard, tap or click the Account icon > your device image.
2. Tap or click Apps > All Apps.
3. Browse the available apps. When you find the one you want to install, tap or click it.
4. Tap or click Install.
5. Some apps require certain permissions in order to work properly, such as access to the internet or the ability to run in the background. Review these requested permissions and tap or click Install to add the app to your watch. Note that some permissions can cause your phone to use more data. If you decide at a later time that you don’t want an app to have certain permissions, you can adjust these permissions later.

I just took a look at the App Gallery (All apps) and I found the following ones:

• Tabata Timer
• Beat Counter
• Pomodoro
• Cool Stopwatch
• Stopwatch
• Stopwatch - simple stopwatch
• tallyCounter
• lapCrono
• Timers - Fitbit

Check them out and see if one of them suit to your needs. 

With third party apps, note that Fitbit doesn't own or maintain third party integrations. It's up to the owner of the third party app to implement or update features for their app so in this case is recommendable to contact the third party developer to learn more about future implementations. 

To contact the developer please open their app on the Fitbit App Gallery, scroll/swipe down and under "App Details" you will find the information.

Rest assure we are working to deliver better options to our users, so once again thank you for your feedback as this help us to continue our work. 

If not, my best recommendation would be to post your idea on the Feature Suggestions Board. This is the best place to ask for future apps you would like to see. Different developers often check this board in search for cool new ideas, so this is the best place to post them.

I'd also recommend up-voting and commenting on Countdown timer that allows for more than 90 minutes feature suggestion since it is very similar of what you're looking and asking for.

Let me know if there's anything else I can assist you with!

I am also wondering if there is a timer app for longer then 99 minutes. I need a timer that goes to at least 4 hours 30 minutes.

i checked every timer available and I don’t see any so far that will work. 

Help?
