Fitbit app available on iPad

Status: Not currently planned Submitted by on ‎01-03-2014 09:03

While the iPhone app can be downloaded on the iPad, I would like to see an iPad app built out as well.

iPhone Only apps are clunky on the iPad, and can only be viewed in portrait.  I only like using my iPad in landscape unless I am reading, and the standard iPad cases/covers are built for landscape use when in standing mode.

I would imaging the iPad app to be much more in-depth and versatile than the iPhone app, since the setting allows for more space and usability.  Sure, I can log into the website from my iPad to get to my dashboard, but I love my more portable devices and having a nice looking app that integrates well and is convenient to access with just one-click.

No kidding. I'm usually on my iPad and it is a pain to switch to my phone to accept challenges and such!

Just put the one for the phone app on it. That's what I use. I've not had any problems with it. Hope this helps.

A longtime Android user, I recently bought an Ipad Pro for some features it offers than Android doesn't. But I'm already feeling like I sold out to the enemy! It isn't intuitive for me, but worse yet, I'm reading all these posts about Fitbit not being optimized etc. for the Pro. I have trouble logging into my account on the Ipad, with keyboard switching from Swype on the password, to Ipad keyboard on the Username. So I can't log in. Further, I'm wondering if I have to make a choice between my Android phone/Samsung Tablet OR the Ipad for syncing Fitbit. Yikes, I'm confused.

I know most people probably sync their fitbit to a phone, by I use my ipad.  Can they please make the app switch to landscape mode.

80+ users can't be wrong.  Issue an iPad app.  Join the 21st century.

Come on Fitbit! Get your act together! As a successful tech firm in 2017, it's truly bizarre how there is still no dedicated iPad app available!

 

The dashboard would look so much better on iPad Retina displays, and make use of the app much more intuitive and more pleasant to use than the ugly double sized iPhone app.

You need an  iPad app that is better than simply the app used for iphones.  There are many health and fitness iPad apps from your competitors that are much more engaging that yours.

Agreed. This has been requested for years without results. Please honor all those who continue to support your products by giving us a dedicated iPad app. Thank you.

I would like to see a properly designed iPad app, the x1 & x2 options on the iPhone app just doesn’t cut it, especially on the large iPad Pro. The ability to rotate the app that just come with the iPhone app.

I bought a new iPad so I could use a Fitbit app with my Fitbit Tracker and found out when I got home from Apple and tried to download the app that Fitbit does not have an app compatible with the iPad 5th generation. Is this being worked on by Fitbit? Thanks!!!

You need to download the iOS version for the phone, which is compatable. 

Of course you could add your vote to e suggestion that popped up with your search.

Thank you for your help! I hope that an iPad app for the 5th gen will be developed. My iPad is in a nice case with a stand that’s in landscape mode but the phone app is in portrait. I had not thought about the availability of an app before I purchased the iPad and case. Thanks for showing me the other comments! I am new to posting on FitBit.

Have to admit.  The iPad app for fitbit really lets the product down.  Makes it look a small start up company with no resource to make a full offering.

Hello, I just wanted to request an iPad specific app. The iPhone app is not proportional on the IPad and not being able to view in landscape makes me not want to use it on my Ipad. It works really well on my other devices but now that I use my IPad for pretty much everything It would be beneficial to have an app that takes advantage of the Ipad space and functionality.  Thank you for considering this request.

I agree, you sell Fitbit devices all over the world and claim they are high tech, but you don’t have the technology savvy to allow the IOS app to rotate to landscape mode? I mean really? I can play a kid’s game on the ipad in landscape mode, but can’t view/run the Fitbit app?
Is this just being Lazy, Cheap, or do you have something against IOS users?

I have finally given up on FitBit. Their devices die. They have major problems syncing. Purchasing Pebble to improve their watches? Meh! I put my last remaining Zip in a drawer and don't miss it one bit. Now, I'm using a Misfit Shine 2. Syncs flawlessly. Gives me my sleep info and it's the same size as a Zip. Their big problem? You guessed it, no iPad app. WTF is up with these companies they can't make a Universal app? This is just crazy. But, as to Fitbit, goodbye and don't let the door hit ya on the way out....
