I wish I knew the answer to that question. Presumably it needs a agreement
between Audible and Fitbit . Audible is such a huge company, I doubt that
the opinion of a few of us would really bother them, but Fitbit May be more
open. Perhaps we should all write independently to customer care !

Please bring audible or another book reader to Fitbit!

Trust me,if it were in my power to do so, I would. although Fitbit has
great customer service I don't think they have gotten where they need to be
just yet with the apps. Who knows what 2019 is going to bring! I hope
Fitbit is listening!😎 Will keep you posted.

Overdrive would be good too -- library books.

Any idea's on how we could get our concerns to the decision makers at
Fitbit? I think we are all in agreement that we want this. Now how do we go
about getting the attention of the Power's That Be @ Fitbit?

@franceswartnaby actually you can log in to your audible.com account and download audiobooks as mp3 but they will be DRM protected, I believe. I would love audible app for Versa but given the sizes of audiobooks this might be a bit moot point. I kinda found a workaround. I'm able to control Audible app on my phone with Versa music controls. I wrote more about it here.

Don’t we all!
New Years resolve, contact both Audible and Fitbit ( again)

Wonder if they will ever do it. May get fed up with waiting and see what else is on the market. 

Hate audible in mp3 format. No good at all

True. But I’d hate to lose continuity of data. I love my FitBit data

I was ready to buy the Fitbit Versa but really want the Audible app as I listen to my books when I’m exercising.  Just adding to the votes for Audible App.

I would LOVE to be able to listen to my audible books via my Versa! The music is choppy and sucks. Ive tried everything to fix that. So basically my husband over played for a pedometer because that's all it's used for. Fingers crossed for Audible so I can actually enjoy my fitbit! 

Yes. I totally agree. I will stick with my Alta till something comes on the market that will play Audible Books. Hopefully it will be a fitbit, but if not I will jump ship

Yes!! An app for audiobook listening that is less clunky than those fixes suggested by users (which I very much appreciate, to be sure!) is essential. One that works with Overdrive and Hoopla (typical delivery vehicle for audiobooks from libraries).

An Audible App would definitely be a great addition to work outs.  Please, Please!

Audible sync to iconic.  Please help us disconnect from our phones and had a workout without text messages and social media updates.
