It would be nice to have the ability to start an activity manually from app as you can with the watch. Ideally one that starts a timer that I could start & stop either on app or watch.
Hi @NieceyBoo. Thank you for sharing your Product Feedback with the Fitbit Community. Let us explain that you can use MobileRun to track walk, run or hike directly on the Fitbit app and with GPS data. To learn more about this, see this help article under "How do I use the Fitbit app to capture GPS data?"
If you'd like to see a different activity option or If you're referring to something different, please reply with more detail or specifics as this will help us to understand this idea better. We look forward to your response.
