Nike: ‘No Plan for FuelBand Android App. We’ll focus on iOS and Web’
If you’re looking to buy Nike Fuelband, but are resisting only because Android don’t have a great syncing app, you’re out of luck. Nike confirmed to a customer that, they’ll only be focusing on Web and iOS apps for now. Blackberry, Windows Phone 8 or Android app won’t be seeing the light of the day, at least for now. Nike represents another example of fitness companies directing their primary focus towards iOS, often leaving Android on the back burner. The jawbone has also yet to embrace the OS with a companion app for its line of wearable fitness accessories. To be clear, plenty of runner-friendly apps can be found via Google Play. But if you’re looking to track your health to a closer degree, it would seem Fitbit remains your best option for now.
Here’s the tweet:

Nike’s PR Department has issued an brief Statement about the following:To deliver the best experience for all Nike+ FuelBand users, we are focusing on the FuelBand experience across iOS and nikeplus.com, where you can sync your activity, set new goals, and connect with friends. At this time, we are not working on an Android version of the mobile app.
