I just got my Fitbit Versa. I don’t see how to add apps to my watch. I’ve followed the instructions and gone to my dashboard, but then there is no “Apps” option, only compatible apps under discover. I don’t want an app in my phone that is compatible, I want one on my watch.

See pages 26 and 27 of the User Manual which covers all aspects of using Apps on the Versa.

Thanks for joining the Fitbit family @Aroepaugh and @SunsetRunner for stopping by.
Regarding your inquiry, to add apps to your Versa, you just need to do the following:
- With your watch nearby, on the Fitbit app dashboard, tap or click the Account icon () > your device image.
- Tap or click Apps > All Apps.
- Browse the available apps. When you find the one you want to install, tap or click it.
- Tap or click Install.
- 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.
For more information, take a look at the help article How do I install and manage apps on my Fitbit watch?.
Let me know if you need anything else.

This doesn’t work. The “apps” option is not available. It says compatible apps but there is no option to install. This is very frustrating. Your giving the same answer to each person that asks this question when we are clearly telling you these options are not there.

Do you have an Android or an Apple phone? That may be part of why you're not getting as much help as you could. The apps on the phone may have different interfaces (I'm an avid Android user, so I don't know what the Apple interface looks like), and therefore have different instructions on how to install the apps.

Found it!
Once you're in your Account Settings, select the picture of your device (your FitBit) from the Devices List. On the next screen you'll see the Apps button and several other, handy things.

I can not get apps downloaded on my watch. I have an android phone and I am not seeing the APP option either. Did you guys ever figure out what was wrong or how to do it?

What you want to do it go to the app and pull down the main page and in the upper left corner it will say versa lite or what ever type you have tap that and then a page will come up and the middle icon will be apps press that and that is your fit bit “AppStore” then go back to your main page pull down and that will load your apps to your fit bit

I agree. There is no "apps" button. This is very frustrating---all the advice is the same, but there is no button.

Nonsense. I have tried everything. There is no apps button, and I have the latest software version installed, so everything is up to date. Very frustrating!

I agree 100%---this is nonsense. Please someone provide a REAL solution instead of reciting rote that does not address the issue! There is no apps button or dropdown!
