I agree we need to be able to sync with Chromebook. I recently got a Chromebook because my old laptop was having issues... anyway, I was bummed when I found that I couldn't use it to sync with my fitbit,
Add me to the list of people wanting a chromebook app. When I travel I take my chromebook but have to leave my fitbit behind. Why take it when I can't upload and the battery will die before I return. Not having a chromebook app makes the fitbit less useful to me.
Anyone have any ideas on how many days worth of memory it holds if kept charged?
A big huge yes vote for chromebook capability!! I have an iPhone 4 and just got a chromebook for Christmas.......I had been looking at activity trackers for a while and decided on the fitbit since I could sync to a computer....Surprise...I can't sync to either device I have! I have to have my husband sync my fitbit in the evening with his Iphone 6. My options...upgrade my perfectly good phone or buy a compatible computer.. Really?? Come on fitbit..120+ compatible devices EXCEPT for the 2 I own??? Please get an app for the Chromebook! You're putting a big damper on my New Year's resolution...
Me, as well, find this predicament to be a huge disappointment! Please, Fitbit, get this thing going! I have no other way to track my progress (also an iphone 4/chromebook owner).
For over a year, people have been asking for an app to allow them to sync their FitBit on their Chromebook and still nothing! Fitbit certainly does not seem to be responsive to the needs of their customers. I'm really glad that a friend gave me her old FitBit. I'd be pretty aggravated if I'd paid over $100 for a new FitBit, and then discovered that it's unusable with my Chromebook. Very disappointing!
I've had a chromebook for 2 years and I'm not going back. In fact, I upgraded a month ago to the new 2015 pixel! 🙂🙂🙂
I do have an android phone, but the fitbit app for that is *slow* and... clunky at best. I would like it to be like the desktop where it just updates. I plugged in the dongle in the vain hope it might work.
I am returning my fitbit that I bought today because I have no way to connect to a computer. I only have a Chromebook. Disappointing. On the plus side I save myself $130!
I just purchased a Fitbit Charge and a Flex and was hoping to take them with me on vacation, but I won't be able too since I use a Chromebook and will not drag a desktop with me. It's been over a year since the request for Chromebook syncing was made and other than being marked as "Reviewed By Moderator," it was marked as a "Duplicate" request (even though a Chromebook is not the same as a Surface RT).
Can we at least get an update as to whether or not Chromebook users should just return their Fitbits?
Fitbit obviously does not give one **ahem** about keeping their Chromebook users.**ahem** shame. Hopefully another company will care enough t make an app to sync with Chromebook. Pamela J. Wells
I also was greatly disappointed when I found I could not sync my Flex & One with a Chromebook. They are so quick and handy to use, a Chromebook would be perfect with the Fitbits. Wish they were compatible.
