Hi all,

 

I was wondering if it's possible for people who have other brand devices like Jawbone or Withings, to put their info into the leaderboard on the Fitbit app so we can compete in a competition, or do they have to have a Fitbit?

 

Also, I noticed that there are 'challenges' on the app you can sign up to. Is it possible to create your own challenge that you invite people to join?

 

Thanks! 🙂

@Mattmra others will not sync nor log to fitbit. Not being in the software and API business I am guessing they all use different ways of reporting and recording. Plus in my opinion if they all recorded to each others reporting system then we would really just have one huge company

You can invite your friends to challenges!  Click on the "challenges" icon, then under create a new challenge select the one you want to do.  Goal Day is a one day Challenge, Weekend Warrior is just the weekend, Daily Showdown is to see who can get the most steps in a 24 hour period and the Workweek Hustle which is Monday through Friday.  Click the one that interests you then click Start Now or Start Tomorrow or Monday, then it will bring you to a screen to invite your friends.  Select the friends you want to invite and then in the upper right hand corner click "start".  Thats it.  You're ready to start your challenge!  Happy Stepping!
