The Misfit Link is a new smartphone app that allows Misfit fans to enjoy a whole range of functionality beyond just the usual stuff.
The new Misfit Link app will allow users of the Misfit Flash tracker to click their activity tracker to capture a selfie with the camera app or with Snapchat. Users can also control music with Spotify or Pandora or even move along the slides in their presentation.
This is doable thanks to the wonders of Bluetooth connectivity. The face of the tracker allows for different actions to be assigned so that they can be performed with different kinds of click and press patterns.
This app is part of a growing awareness that tech-savvy consumers are willing to enjoy different features from a single app or device.
