DDP Yoga App Compatibility

[Mjbosko]

I am an avid and practicing fan of DDP Yoga, which has released its own interactive app to track progress. I think FitBit's technology would make a great pair if it were compatible with DDP Yoga. Any chance this can happen?

Thank you in advance for your consideration!

I’d love for this app to be compatible with ddpyoga as well. It’s a great cardio workout along with making your entire body healthier.

Between forums like this here and on DDP, it seems like Fitbit is saying "not our problem" and DDP says "it's too expensive, try these other bands."

I'd also like ddp yoga and fitbit to work together.

Dear community members, thanks for sharing this suggestion. Our web API and smartwatch SDK are open which means that the service you are wanting can actually integrate with Fitbit! We’d encourage you to make your suggestion to the service and direct them to our existing API and SDK and resources such as the web dev API community. You will likely be able to email them via their contact us page or customer support, or they may have their own ideas board like this. Or encourage them to reach out to Fitbit directly! Thanks for your participation in the Feature Suggestion forums, we look forward to making Fitbit more useful for you.

I appreciate the moderator response but the proposed solution does not address the request. It sounds like the Web API will only allow DDP YOGA to pull data after a workout is completed. The smartwatch SDK would require DDPY to build a specific app that would only work on certain FitBit devices like the Iconic and Versa. 

The users are asking for Fitbit to allow their devices to connect with the DDP YOGA NOW app so that any Fitbit device can be paired as a heart rate monitor to see heart rate and calories burned data LIVE in the app, during the workout. Not after the fact in a data pull. The DDP YOGA NOW app has the functionality to connect with Bluetooth Heart Rate Monitors like Wahoo and Polar to display heart rate data directly on the app screen during a workout. See below.

Unless I am misunderstanding, the moderator suggestion does not allow DDP YOGA access to the FitBit bluetooth connection. Please reassess this response to clarify.

Add me to the list of Fitbit users that love the product and would like some way to link it to the DDP Yoga Now app.  It is always better to allow a wider audience rather than a smaller, limited audience.  From a business perspective, it gives your competitors an opportunity to jump into a market that you are intentionally ignoring.  Please (re)consider.

As someone with a disability, DDPYoga has been huge in my fitness regimen, as has my FitBit Ionic.  I was saddened to find out FitBit doesn’t interact with DDPYoga.  I would love to see this change.  I use my FitBit to track all my activities.  Please make it where my device can track this amzing custom yoga program.

DDP Yoga compatibility please.

[ymm4195]

We are still wanting compatibility with DDP Yoga.....please....

[andyistall]

Did anything happen with this? It would be great to see it integrated with the DDP yoga app

[KillerSnark]

Come on Fitbit.. Your customers are asking for this. Make it happen. I only use DDP Yoga and am willing to return my Fitbit to get a heart rate monitor that WILL connect to DDP Yoga.  Yes, it's that important to us. Please and thanks.

[Eab601]

I'm returning my Iconic since it's useless to use with DDPY Thanks for the generic responses to the request to connect with DDP YOGA 

[Askeebe]

Please make this work. DDP YOGA is the only reason I bought the fitbit charge 3. If I can't make it work, I'll exchange it.

Please, please, please add DDP Yoga  to compatible list.   This was literally the only app that I needed a heart rate monitor for.

[Shauncey]

Guess I’m gonna have to get a new fitness monitor so I can do DDPY. 

[Musicmom111]

I also agree and would really like Fitbit and DDP Yoga to come to some sort of an agreement so I can use my Fitbit within the DDP Yoga world.  It seems to me that when it comes to someone’s health it shouldn’t be exclusive, especially if both items have already been purchased.

[Koda1977]

I'd love this but Fitbit probably charges a crazy amount of money to let DDP use them... Sucks it might be time to move on from fitbit

[dkgrt]

I recently got hooked onto DDP yoga program and Fitbit compatibility is a no brainer. Please make this happen!

[dlphnllvr]

it would be great if you would open up FitBit to work with DDPYoga - I know I'm not the only one who would appreciate and love this - I really don't want to have to buy another tracker, but I need compatibility

[SunriseRun56226]

People have been asking for this for two years.  I will not buy another product from FitBit.  This is worthless.  You do not offer a similiar product as DDPYoga so there should be no fear.  I bought a watch with a HR monitor and it doesnt work.  Please refund my money. 

[Iamkalika]

There is still a want and need for Fitbit and DDP Yoga to sync! I bought an Ionic and Flyers to track my walks but in winter I do more yoga and less walking. I need a HRM that I can use for all of my fitness needs! Please integrate DDP Yoga or open up to 3rd party apps. I need my workouts to be easier, not harder. 

[Jeremybog]

Please add DDPY to fitbit. I bought a Charge 3 for the heart rate montior to pair with my DDPY app workout just to find out it is not compatible when I try to pair them. Please add DDPY

[Faybert]

+1 for actually letting the ddp yoga app pair with fitbit hr trackers

[OwynFaulkner]

I bought the charge 2 (not a cheap purchase) assuming that it would be compatible with DDP YOGA. That is the only reason I spent $170 on it. I am VERY disappointed to discover that the for bit is NOT compatible with DDP yoga. Unfortunately, the store that sold me the for bit went out of buisbusi so I can't return it
