Surely they’re loosing sales because of this stance? I might by one, but won’t without the sync to (android) phone function. There’s no way I’m risking my £500 handset in a workout.

Thanks for a plausible technical answer and not senseless brand bashing.

Tim Cook (Apples CEO) is on Nikes Board of Directors. I’m sure he pulled some strings.

well, I am on my 3rd FB now – the 1st two broke — and I’ll say the build quality is much better, but I bought last June w/ understanding that there would be an Android app.
When #3 dies on me, I wont take a replacement – Ill take the cash and get something w/ Android functionality.
Hasta la vista, Nike.

I totally agree with your Endomondo statement. I use Strava for cycling
and it also supports running. The app is free and offers a ton of
features. Go premium if you’re serious about your stats and results. I
see no point in a fuel band or fit bit.

This is a bummer. I’ve used the Fuelband for almost a year now and was keeping my hopes up for the android app. But it makes sense now…they sell the Nike Fuelband at Apple Stores, so it’s clear who is paying them off…

I was really hoping for an Android App. I’ve even been considering switching to iPhone next month when my contract is up. But this Galaxy S4 is very intriguing, so I may stick with Android.

I’m guessing it’s partly because Apple is so in-bed with Nike. The Nike App is built into the iTouch and iNano. I’m guessing Nike paid a pretty penny to have those there. I hear rumors of a Fuel Band 2 so maybe that will have more device support.

Personally I’ve been reading about a new device called the Amiigo. (not affiliated with it or anything). But it’s supposed to learn your activities and adapt and it tells you your Heart Rate. So it’s much more useful than a fancy pedometer like the Fuel Band. That might be my next device later this summer when it comes out. I’m kinda bored with the Fuel Band at this point.

Bummer! I called Nike support in January and they said they were working and developing the android app. Even said it would be out sometime this year. So, I bought a fuelband under that information. Now….I am a tad bit upset. Oh well, guess I will not be purchasing any more Nike products. On a side note, the comments beloware quite vague. The reason they.decided to cancel the app is because the.development platform they began on was buggy and after sinking time and money into that, they decided beginning from the ground up again was not worth the money. Also, to say android in general is harder to support is bogus. With android developers have.a lot more options to develop with than on iTS. Not to mention you have to pay and register for the iOS SDK. I used to be an Apple fanboy, but I love my android devices way more. I still rock a MacBook and PC, but the options, versatility, openness, etc of my android phone versus my.iPhone is.night And day.

Sad loss to Apple of Steve Jobs, funny that the current CEO of Apple is on Nike’s board of directors and since assuming CEO status at Apple the Nike Fuel Band is now no longer a planned development for Android.

So what about the app for the ipad? I have loaded it, but it wont connect to my fuel account? Any ideas about that? I ask only because I have android and apparently that isnt going to happen. Rather sync with my ipad than my pc laptop….
