Best Fitbit Apps That You Should Try At Least Once!
While Fitbit trackers are best known for their tracking and providing insightful notions regarding your body health. With the release and rise of likes of Fitbit Versa 4 and Fitbit Sense 2 there has been change in way of operations. Fitbit is no longer confined to ways of fitness tracking instead they are expanding which means you are likely to find little difference between it and an Apple Watch now.
So given this recent change there has also been rise of applications for Fitbit OS. Granted there not many available which could catch your attention. We believe there are some that you should know about, some of the best Fitbit apps that you must have on your tracker!
Spotify
Everyone knows what is Spotify used for, we don’t know to tell you anything about it. It is one of the most used music streaming service around the globe and it is available on almost all the major platforms. So why should our Fitbit should’ve left behind.
However, there is tiny detail that you might not know and it is that it is important that you have Spotify Premium account to use it on your Fitbit (Apple Watches also requires the Premium Subscription). I don’t know why it is like that but there is no other way around it. Fitbit also asks to keep the app open on your mobile phone while playing.
Apart from these two conditions Spotify with Fitbit is a special connection and totally something which can enrich your workouts and exercise by a mile. With one click of button you will be connected to million of artists in a second.
Barcodes
This particular Fitbit app is perfect for those who have a lot of memberships and struggles to keep track of their cards. Because with this app on your Fitbit tracker you can easily save Barcodes on it and when the time will come you can just use your Fitbit tracker to do the dirty work for you.
The app allows 7 barcodes at a time to be saved and you will have to use your smartphone to save them, but fear not. Within a minute or so your Fitbit tracker will sync the data from phone and update its database. Making sure you won’t have to worry about finding the card at stall or reception ever again.
C25K Trainer
This app is basically a trainer which will remind you daily of what you need to do. You see what happens usually is that in beginning when we buy a tracker, any tracker, we are very excited about it. We workout for days, but then with time when that excitement begins to wear off, we stop, and this right here is number one reason why so many fails to reach their fitness goals.
So this is where C25K Trainer app can keep you on your toes and make sure you do as it says. Because as we know from multiple studies in order to achieve ideal health (perfect VO2 Max and RHR score) your cardiovascular health needs to be maintained and it won’t reach that stage until you begin working out. To do which you will need motivation, to get which, you have C25K Trainer waiting to be downloaded!
SpO2 Tracker
We are all aware of Fitbit’s advanced ability to track metrics like breathing rate and provide information regarding our Sleep Cycles. Well, there is another metric at which Fitbit excels and it is called SpO2 or simply blood to oxygen ratio in your body.
In order to track your SpO2 during the sleeping cycle you will have to download this SpO2 Tracker. Because not only does it comes with a watch face that you can use, but make sure to provide you with timely updates.
However, keep in mind, Fitbit doesn’t show the data with less than 80% results, the reason to do so is because Fitbit’s captured data shouldn’t be used to diagnose medical condition. So you will see something like this: <80%.
Starbucks Card
This Fitbit application will be loved by anyone who goes to Starbucks at least one time a day daily. Because it is specifically made for those who visit the coffee shop often so to ease your visits you can use your Fitbit tracker to save the Starbucks Card and show it when you are asked to do so.
This particular application is developed by Fitbit so you can assume it is 100% optimized and won’t cause much strain to your Fitbit Tracker than it needs to do.
Treasure Trek
Alright, so this is like a game, almost like a game but the reason we have included it here and not in our list of best Fitbit games is because it actually encourages you to increase your step count. So within the app with each step that you will take you will reach towards the goal of finding the hidden treasure.
Available to be downloaded on your Fitbit tracker from your phone as well as Fitbit Gallery Treasure Trek is unique solution to the major problem called ‘laziness’ which elegantly battles it with making even the most boring thing such as walking into a fun adventure.
Uber
Just like Spotify I don’t think Uber needs any introduction. You need to go anywhere and you don’t have a ride your first instinct is always to get an Uber. So it is all the same the only difference is in stead of using a smartphone you will using your smartwatch called Fitbit Versa 3 or Fitbit Sense 2. It is actually available on all Fitbit smartwatches.
Fitbit in Uber provides the following features at hand:
- Get a ride
- View the fare estimates
- Get a peek of driver’s details.
Water Logged
Using Fitbit for years now I can tell you two things about it:
- Fitbits are perfect to stay in water logged conditions. They can tolerate 50 meter of Water Depth more so with the aid of Water Lock feature.
- It is very important to keep track of your water consumption, no matter how hard it is, because trust that me that will come to help later.
So while this particular Fitbit application can’t help you out for first condition. It is perfectly able to give you easy access to log your water consumption in to your Fitbit tracker. As well as provide data with brilliant visuals to make things easy to grasp.
TRX Training
Okay so this is like step up from C25K Trainer application that we saw above. That one was for beginner and this one is perfect for those who are already aware off a thing or two. So basically there are four work out modes and you can choose any of them. Application will start with a video and you will learn from it, the steps, the process, basically everything that is there to be learned.
Once you will begin you will be alerted through a buzz, and the same thing will happen when it will be time to rest. The amazing thing about this particular Fitbit app is that it combines multiple aspects of your Fitbit tracker (haptics and audio) to provide an enriching experience.
Home Connect
If you ask us Home Connect is perfect work of application to personify the word ‘smart devices.‘ This little application can allow you to control all your appliances even when you will be won’t at home.
Home Connect is an open platform that incorporates different home appliance brands such as Bosch, Siemens, Neff, Gaggenau, Thermador and a variety of partner services to provide you with a full Smart Home experience.
So you won’t have to worry about anything while away. Just one look at your Fitbit Tracker and you will have all the right information in a second.
To-Do List
Okay you can think of this as an indie solution of Fitbit applications. This simple app will allow you to write down your thoughts, ideas, or just anything you want. Given this application is also indie and open-source you can find the source code on GitHub easily.
It is also available to be downloaded from Fitbit Mobile Application. Or if you want to get it through tracker then do the following:
- Go to the Fitbit app, navigate to the “Apps” section for your device (Versa/Ionic) and go to the settings for this app.
- Add entries to the list (up to 50 entries).
- Change the color scheme.
Just like Pinterest and many others Flipboard is another one of social media platform perfect for content related to Fitness and Health. Although, it totally depends on you, it is very easy to curate the topic of your content.
You will be able to access the following features from your Fitbit Tracker:
- Quick access to the topics you care most.
- Content for all your fitness related interests and passions curated by Flipboard, the world’s best publishers, subject matter experts, and our engaged community.

Flights Near
This Fitbit application is not for everyone, but if you are someone who loves to keep track of Flights or have keen sight on airplanes. Or you are just into this line of field this is perfect Flight Near will give you everything you need on your wrist.
Best thing is that Flight Near also shows which airplane that you just saw up in the sky is going where and when it left the airport. It is like ideal wiki for aviation nerds out there. I have it on my Fitbit smartwatch is perfect to both learn and to have fun.
Google Maps
Well, Google Maps just like many other applications that we have seen so far, it is not in need of any introduction. You want to know where is something and how long it will take you Google Maps is the perfect app for you.
Although at the moment this is app is only available for Fitbit Sense 2 and Fitbit Versa 4. So if you are owner of Fitbit Versa 3 or anything else you might have to wait, but if you are not, and you have the latest Fitbit smartwatches it is your lucky day.
Just to keep thing afloat it is important that you keep the Google Maps on your phone and keep your phone near your Fitbit Tracker.
