Re: fitbit and fitbit flex question

I have been using FitBit for a while now, all FitBit devices can be configured 
and setup by Voice Over users independently and the FitBit official App is 
accessible without issue from my perspective.

 Hi all,
 I just got a fitbit flex with sleep band. I am wondering which app goes with 
 the fitbit flex with sleep band. I have it paired with the free fitbit app, 
 but notice that the buttons for the previus day, day and next day buttons  
 are all dimmed. I have yet to find any of the buttons like the sync button I 
 heard about in a recent podcast. So, perhaps I have the wrong app or need to 
 do something else.
 thanks.

Re: fitbit and fitbit flex question

2014-05-21 Thread Traci Duncan
Hello, I also have the Flex and I'm using the same FitBit free app.

As far as I can tell, the FitBit syncs automatically.  If you flick past those 
3 buttons yesterday left, today, then day right, you will come to your Flex 
button.  This button says Flex, looking for your Flex, or Flex Syncing, or Flex 
connected.  When it says Flex connected you are all synced up.

You can double tap this Flex button, which will bring you to more information 
about the Flex.  It tells you when last synced, firmware version, battery 
level, silent alarms, main goal, wrist, all-day sync on/off, then sync now.

:) good luck,
Traci

Is it possible to set up the Fitbit without sighted assistance? Does it give
you a measure of how many calories you are burning each day?

2014-05-21 Thread Traci Duncan
Yes, I set it up on my own.

The app will tell you your steps, calories burned, distance traveled.  If you 
decide to set up food/water intake, it will keep track of those 
calories/ounces.  Oh, and it does some tracking while you sleep.

If you are getting close to your goal in a day, the app sends an alert.  If you 
reach your goal, the Flex on your wrist vibrates.
