So today I was using the Exercise and Music feature on my Ionic.  I wanted to look forward to another song on my playlist (the Bluetooth headphones wouldn't let me) but I was unable to leave the Exercise section/feature on my Ionic.  The only way to do that was to stop the exercise and save.  Any solutions so that I can toggle back and forth?

Fitbit would have to incorporate this feature to make the exercise work in the background

I would place a vote on this page and hopefully it will be incorporated in a future update.

Doesn't work. So if you finish an audiobook on a run, you can't then choose to start another one or switch to music. You can control everything else... well, I don't think you can turn shuffle on or off after you start the exercise. I don't understand the comment about having it run in the background. It already has it's own thread.
