I can't believe I paid so much for these things, and can't get them to work. I have an Ionic and the flyers. I wanted to make podcasts work before giving up and getting a forced Pandora Plus subscription. I don't even know what to ask for help, it's so elementary-looking, and just doesn't work. I open the desktop app. I try to add podcasts to the pre-loaded "recently added" folder. I try to add the podcast folder itself. Fitbit should be paying me for every minute I spend wasting on this; such shame to release something like this for hundreds of dollars. I don't even want to ask for help. I shouldn't have to ask "Does anybody know what to do?!"

As I understand it, unfortunately the Ionic is not able to playback podcasts or audiobooks (at least not at this time).  The following was extracted from the Ionic's webpage on Fitbit:

Store & Play Music

Store and play 300+ songs on your watch—plus download your favorite stations or curated workout stations from Pandora and Deezer.**

 

Hope this helped and keep on STEPPING!

Thanks for the thought. Podcasts are the same as other music files; and, Fitbit advertises it plays podcasts. I don't think that's the issue. I'd gladly take my music files or podcasts before signing up for $5 Pandora Plus. I'll do that, too, but I want to make this work first without having to so much work. Will try again!
