Dear Community,

 

Don't you think it would be interesting to be able to use the FitBit app in SplitScreen mode ? Let say, you follow your heart beat rate on your phone while being able to have Strava recording or while you follow Waze navigation. Of course you could always check on your watch but on a bike it is not so convenient...
