Earlier this week, FitBit brought their official app to Windows Phone (see our review), including Bluetooth synchronizing for those on Lumia Cyan or non-Lumia devices with Bluetooth 4.0 LE enabled.
Now, version 1.1 is live in the Store and with it a few fixes, some cleaning up of the design and a new transparent tile option (that is right, the choice is yours).

The ability to toggle on or off the transparent Live Tile is something many users want these days. Although transparency is excellent, giving users the choice is even better as we have argued for before. You may notice now that the app's design and the loading screen is nicer than before, part of the cleaning and neatening up after the 1.0 release.
Bluetooth background synchronizing is not in this release, but that feature is still coming in another update soon, so stay tuned right here for updates.
After a few days of using it, what do you think of the FitBit app for Windows Phone? Sound off below.
