Will Fitbit make a customizable HIIT timer app? Is there one already?

[Fran001]

Hello. I'm just wondering if Fitbit will make a customizable HIIT timer? The HIIT timer available is set and not customizable. Also, I'm wondering if there's ready an app for it? I saw a list of "compatible apps"..  but they didn't look like timers. Thanks.

Hey @Fran001, it is great to see you around more often! It'd be a really helpful addition to be able to customize the HIIT timer. So far, our team has released interval training with buzzing on-wrist on Fitbit Charge 2 and Fitbit Ionic. Before you start your workout, you can set the length of the intervals and the total number of rounds you want to complete. 

I have seen other users requesting this on our Feature Suggestions board. So please take a look at this idea, leave your vote and comments so our team have an idea of what exactly do you want on this feature, 'cause as you can see, it has become very popular and the more votes it has, the bigger the chances to be implemented. 

Let me know if you have further questions!

Thanks I found a post and voted 😊 I have the versa.

I've written a customizable HIIT timer app for the Versa, Versa Light, and Ionic.  

My wife and I have been using it and it works great so far.  It is not published yet, but if you'd like to try it, send me a message and I'll share the link.

@ncc26632 could you please share the link to download the HIIT app that you developed? It would be very helpful on my Ionic. Many thanks!

Here it is...

Thank you @ncc26632 for sharing!

If you allow me, I'd like to make a suggestion to improve your app.

I don't know how complex it is, but it would be great if the app integrates with GPS, so the user could select the TYPE of interval. Something like:

Interval Type: distance

Duration: 0.5km

Rest Type: time

Duration: 30s

Repeat: 10 times

Regards!
