The Nike Fuelband sat as a iOS compatible only device since its original launch. That never bodes well for a wearable device, being locked to a certain OS that is. Recent rumors from April lead to lots of speculation that Nike might be doing away with the Fuelband line when they laid off a 55 of the 70 person team working on the device. It wouldn’t have been all that surprising, and it still might be true, to some degree. However, Nike doesn’t seem quite ready to give up just yet. This morning they have released the Android compatible app for the Nike Fuelband. Yes, the Android world is in shock right now.
· View your progress against your goal broken down by day, week, or month.
· Save all your information directly to your Nike+ profile online.
· Customize your device display, change the time and update your Daily Goal – straight from the app.
· Track NikeFuel and intensity for specific activities with Nike+ Sessions.
· Stay active by enabling Move Reminders in your Device Settings that encourage you to Win the Hour.
· Compete for the top slot on your Friend leaderboard.
· Stay constantly connected to your app with Bluetooth 4.0.
Nike says the app is compatible on any Android device running Android 4.3 or above and, of course, you need a Nike Fuelband SE device to use it. They put in a little extra work apparently and optimized he app for the Galaxy S3, S4, S5, Nexus 5, HTC One and Moto X. Owners of those devices will get the best experience.
For those of you that meet the criteria, hit the link and install the app. If this is what you were waiting for before you bought a Fuelband, we put the links to pick one of those up down below too.
