Exercise sharing is the new social. It is a rather neat way to not only humblebrag about your achievements but do with a photo to add some personalization. Static numbers are one thing but adding a picture is unique. Interestingly, the Microsoft Health app is getting this feature too so expect to see these types of sharing abilities on your Facebook and Twitter timelines soon.
Friend finder is pretty obvious, but it is one of those things that makes Fitbit so popular: the ability to compete with and track your friends and their exercise habits.
Head to the Store now to check for updates or grab the links below. Oh and if you are wondering about Windows 10 Mobile and Fitbit the company has that in the late stages of development so expect it in time for the official Windows 10 Mobile release.
The Windows 10 app is now live and the Windows Phone 8.1 version should be going livein the next few hours.
