Fitbit now available on Windows Phone 8.1 [UPDATE]

Last month we reported that Fitbit is working on releasing a Windows Phone app for its Fitbit fitness band. The app is now live and can be downloaded from the Windows Phone store.

Applications like Fitbit were so far unavailable on Windows Phone due to certain hardware requirements, especially related to Bluetooth. With Windows Phone 8.1, Microsoft has addressed most of the issues, broadening the compatibility with accessories.

The Fitbit app requires Windows Phone 8.1 and the Lumia Cyan update, both of which are now rolling out to devices. With the support for the new WP8.1 phones, Fitbit is now available on nearly 100 devices, including those running iOS and Android.

Update:The Microsoft Store offers a Nokia Lumia 635 + Fitbit Flex bundle at $150. The Fitbit Flex alone can run you $100, the Lumia 635 recently dropped to $100, so the bundle saves you $50.
