Cannot find Fitbit Connect on Apple Store for MacOS Big Sur

[LaceGrace]

I cannot find the FitBit Connect App on the Apple Store for my MacBook Air running Big Sur.  

All I see is a FitBit Connect Guide, and that won't download. 

Any information would be greatly appreciated. 

Thank you very much.

@LaceGrace   Fitbit Connect isn't in the App Store.  It's Fitbit software and it is available here.  The link is near the bottom of the page.  The Versa can't sync with a MacBook using Fitbit Connect.  Do you want it to transfer music to your Versa?

Thank you very much for the reply!  I thought I could have the same screen capabilities including a Dashboard screen on my MacBook Air as on my iPhone. Can I still transfer music to my Versa from the MacBook iTunes?

@LaceGrace   You have a web dashboard at fitbit.com.  But the most important Fitbit features like your Health Metrics, Challenges, Groups, etc., have all moved to the mobile app.  Honestly, you can see your basic stats on a larger screen, but other features are limited.  Also keep in mind that your Versa syncs with your Fitbit account.  In addition to that, your Versa makes a tight Bluetooth bond with your iPhone and it can't sync with any other device.  You can only sync with your phone.

I'm going to be blunt about putting personal music on my device.  I thought it was a LOT of work for not much reward.  I always have my phone with me, so I have a choice of several streaming services.  You can only transfer DRM free music that you own.  I stopped buying music when I started streaming.  I have no current music in my library.  Finally, music playback seemed to use a lot of battery.  It wasn't for me.  It certainly is important to some users -- the Sense and Versa 3 can't store personal music and users got upset when they upgraded.
