Fix the Ionic and your poor customer service

My Ionic died just under two years after purchase.  It has a well documented problem - it's stuck in a bootloop.  This is caused by faulty design and not by anything I have done. When I have approached customer service they have not answered specific...

Stop stifling great ideas on this board and locking threads when they clearly have customer demand through thousands of votes but you refuse to implement them for years to selfishly increase profits while ignoring customers who have already (over)pai...

Watch longevity

I suggest that you make a watch that lasts longer than a year and a half. In the span of literally 10 minutes my watch went from working fine to not turning on or charging. Customer service asked me to try restarting it, I did, and it still didn't wo...

Ionic Interval Timer mode with GPS doesn't upload to Strava

I think the title says it all. I use the Interval Timer mode in almost 100% of my workouts, but none of them get uploaded to Strava (contrasted with the Run or Walk modes). As I enjoy using Strava, I would like this problem to get fixed. Additionally...

Fix the Pandora app

The Pandora App is more likely to not sync than work.  The help boards list multiple "fixes" that only fix the problem once.  Why not fix the app and the sync capability of the Ionic and Pandora?

I would love to see the Samsung Galaxy S7 Active on the compatible devices list! I'm unable to connect my fitbit to my phone and really wish I could! It sucks spending your money on something for it not to work!
