Download Podcasts On Fitbit


A lot of people use deezer for Fitbit to quickly download music, and use it offline! However, a decent amount of people would also like to see podcasts be available on Fitbit, so we don't have to download an mp3 through the clunky Fitbit interface.

I would love this also!!  (If they allowed podcasts to be added to playlists then I’m guessing this would fix it!) :)

wow. I’ve had this podcast issue using Fitbit for months now and see it’s been over 2 years that others have been asking for a solution. I guess your platform isn’t going to be competitive. I’ll be switching back to the other guys.

Sorry to hear that @Lou jejs 

I'll forward your comments to the right teams here at Deezer so that this can be developed in the near future. It's something we have in mind, not just because of how long ago this was requested. Please vote if you haven't done so and subscribe to the topic for updates :v_tone2:

I've currently got a trial account with Deezer (as I got a Fitbit sense for Christmas 😃).

 

I like to listen to podcasts while running, so if they could add the ability to listen to offline podcasts on Fitbit it may help me decide to stay when my trial is over.

I've seen requests for this from 3 years back so it's unfathomably annoying that this is still an issue. And everybody who says something about it gets the same scripted response of we'll send this along to the higher ups yada yada yada. It shouldn't take THREE YEARS to develop a solution for this.

Already the fact that FitBit locks you in with Deezer if you want to listen to audios from your watch is despicable, then you add that such a simple request of wanting to listen to a podcast becomes a wish list it’s just unbelievable.

 

The real problem here is that those are business decisions, not technical issues or limitations.
