I sold my Versa 4 a few weeks ago but keep scanning this thread.
What angers me the most is that people still keep buying the Versa 4 thinking it is a true smartwatch and an upgrade from the Versa 1, 2 and 3. Just as I did last september.
Fitbit has to make it more clear that this is not the case!
Versa 4 is not enabled to use third party apps and doesn’t allow for control of music from your phone. It is a substantial downgrade from Versa 3. That is what over a thousand of us who are aware of the Versa series have been howling about for the last six months.
Thank you Tod! I'm baffled that they are still allowed to advertise this as a "smart watch" is it doesn't have any of the standard features of one. It's basically an overpriced fitness tracker at this point.
I’ve updated my Fitbit to a versa 4 and I’m really disappointed that I can’t download their party apps. I don’t understand why something is available on the 2nd and 3rd models but not the 4th. I want to connect my watch to my FitOn account and it’s not possible. Are we going to get third-part apps anytime soon, otherwise I’m considering returning my product.
My Versa 3 died and I replaced it with a Versa 4. I never would have purchased the Versa 4 if I had known I could not add 3rd party apps. This is a huge inconvenience to me.
I absolutely loved my Versa 2 and had thought that my Versa 4 would be a HUGE step up… well, I was wrong. The fact that I can do so much more on my Versa 2 is ridiculous. I want to be able to use & control Spotify on my watch during my runs. I want to use other apps. I never thought it’d be tempting to return this watch and get an Apple Watch.

Super bummed to find out that third party apps aren't available because my bf gifted me a Versa 4 specifically so that I could use Spotify via the watch during my workouts 😞 It's really frustrating for any customer to spend so much money on a "smartwatch" in hopes to get a premium product, but then you can't even install any "lifestyle apps" to it, which is a feature even cheap watches on Amazon have. So pleeeaaase, add third party apps to the newer Fitbit models!
Very disappointed to find Versa 4 does not support 3rd party apps such as Spotify - as a premium product from the Fitbit range it's a key feature and should be available. Apple watch and other brands instantly have shot up my list ahead of Fitbit until this is added
Bring back 3rd party apps like Starbucks, what is the point of upgrading when you're going backwards instead of forwards. They also need to fix the google wallet so people can use it instead of getting an error message.
Took me all of 3 hours to return this, as it's a definitely downgrade without the 3rd-party apps. It seemed like nice hardware, hopefully the apps will come back and I can pick one up then.
Please please Add Spotify functionality with the Versa 4, we would all really appreciate it!
The ability to install 3rd party apps on the Versa 4 is such an invaluable addition to this smartwatch, and it was an option in previous versions of the watch! Bring it back, we'll love you forever -- we promise.
Please for the love of gods can we get 3rd party apps on fitbit versa 4. I bought it as a gift for my fiance back in december and i have only just recently found out she can't get deezer on it. Also found out you discontinued deezer and music for my current versa 2 so i had to subscribe to spotify as well!
Only reason i use fitbit is for music to be honest and because i have all my old data for heart rate sleep etc stored on it.
If the feature isn't coming everyone will leave mass exodus if they haven't already.
Also i feel bad for my gf who now has to deal with this issue day in day out at the gym now and we will have no music control when on holiday for our music box.
Very sad 😞
Sort it out please!
Been with fitbit since they brought out the very first watches
Hey fitbit, have you listened to your customers complaints?? Versa 4 is a DOWNGRADE. Even my charge 4 had music control! Unfortunately, it was a gift, so I can't return it 😠 you can't call it a smart watch if it doesn't even have apps
Hi @Jacks44, thanks for taking the time to share this product feedback about adding more apps to the Versa 4 with us.

I am unbelievably disappointed in my versa 4! Apps I used daily on my versa 1 like a basic flashlight are not available. Are you kidding me! Saved up for months to buy this now I regret the money I spent. When will 3rd party apps be available? Or at least a flashlight please…
{New owner of Versa 4 here.} Disappointing situation. Wondering if Google / FitBit can offer a possible timeline for when third party apps might become available?
People, including me, have bought them... And still do, thinking these are actual smart watches.
I have been waiting since September for someone from FB to give us some good news. But to no avail. I sold my Versa 4 weeks ago and am not looking back, but I feel sorry for every new buyer that is fooled into thinking these are smartwatches.
