Thanks Sheryl,
I didn’t even notice it was back. I appreciate you pointing this out.
To answer someone’s question about where it is, you tap on where you see your
product (Flex or whatever) connected. There it will tell you the battery
level. I’m so glad it’s back.
Take care,
Lois

The Kindle Fire will also, but to keep this on topic, the latest Fitbit update
for iOS restores the accessibility of the battery level indicator and the
currently installed firmware.

Hi Lois,
If, was chance, you have the Amazon Echo fitbit Flex skill will give
you battery level.

Hi,
You use the app on your phone to set up the alarms with any of the FitBit
devices, and it is very easy to do.
I used the alarm on my Flex for a long time, and now my One. Both alarms
work well to wake me.
One of the things that is not accessible is the battery level indicator. It
used to be until they changed it to a graphic. You should charge it at
least once a week, more often if you do more than 10,000 steps a day.
Good luck.
Woot.com has refurbished fitbits today for $45, but I wouldn’t necessarily
trust refurbished in this case.
Take care,
Lois

Subject: Fitbit Flex accessibility
Hello list,
So I’ve been in search of some sort of vibrating alarm clock that can wake
me up in the morning to avoid disturbing my wife as I’m more the early bird
of the two whereas she is more the type who hates mornings with a white hot
intensity more powerful than the sun...
Getting a tactile bedside clock to avoid having to engage my iPhone during
the night and possibly wake her up is easy enough, but the alarm thing, not
so much.
I’ve looked around and haven’t really found anything very convincing.
They’re either inaccessible with bad reviews or more geared towards the deaf
market which entails bed shaking mechanisms. Having lived through more than
my fair share of earthquakes including being woken up from a few in the
middle of the night and currently living in earthquake country, this is an
absolutely unappealing option for me. That and I’m sure my wife would
probably strangle me in my sleep after the second or third time of it
scaring her awake.
Anyway, to make a long story short, I was contemplating getting a Fitbit
flex since in its description, a silent vibrating alarm is specifically
highlighted as one of its features.
It’s been suggested to me to also consider getting an Apple Watch. I’m
really not keen on getting an Apple Watch. Much less spending a couple
hundred bucks even for a refurbished or used one for this one specific task.
$80.00 is a more palatable option at least for this circumstance.
Does anyone have any experience with the Fitbit or any of its variations and
associated iOS apps? Is the device by itself or in conjunction with the iOS
app or even connected to a PC accessible? Specifically when accessing this
silent vibrating alarm feature?
Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Cristobal
