Nike+ FuelBand for Android
Take it from me. The whole Nike fuel + band and app are all so terribly bad. I have been using it for over 2 years, don't WASTE your money. The developers of this whole project are all so terribly bad and carless, very bad made, waste of money, seriously.
I really love the Nike+ Fuelband and am sad to see they are discontinuing it. Fuelbands are very high quality and helpful for exercise. If you are looking for an exercise band, ignore all the FitBits and Garmins and definitely get a Nike+ Fuelband
The App wont let me sign in. As such I think it sucks. The keyboard to sign in doesnt show up. Maybe my review will change if it starts working
I have had the band for about a year and the button and clasp are just about junk at this point. None of my friends use fuel devices, so there's noone to compete with. The activity mode sucks for rock climbing. I love that it tracks my data, and the battery has a long life, 2 1/2 weeks at a couple points. I would recommend it if the device didn't ware out so easily, and more people used it.
This app paired with my FuelBand is amazing, it can track every workout, game and converts it to fuel points, which makes competition with others more exciting and motivating. My only gripe is that not many people are on nike plus to actually "friend" and compete with.
Worked great, until I had issues with points syncing, so I log out of the app and tried to log back in. Now, I can't log into the app. After attempting log in, I'll get a blue screen with a loading circle, and then sent back to the log in screen with the username and password area filled in still. Have tried every possible troubleshooting method, with exception to completely hard resetting the phone, which I won't do just for this app. Please fix! I'll bump my review back up to 5, and edit accordingly, when I'm able to log in again.
This app is good. The band is great. It could use more features or sync with other tracking apps. It would be great this would sync with my fitness pal or other similar to help track caloric intake and output to optimize weight loss goals. All in all I like my Nike band and prefer this over the trouble laden fitbit.
This is now, my second fuel band. As the first one got worn out. I like the usability & generally the interface of the app. It's bright, colourful & easy to sync with. Update, January 14 2016 still going strong and on a different phone. Gotta love it
Love this app! My only thing is I wish you didn't have to constantly sync it via bluetooth, every time you want to "submit" your fuel to the app itself. But that's such a minor thing. All in all it is fantastic! Highly recommended for all who own a fuelband!
I think it's a great app and product but it doesn't incorporate nutrition or sleep like the Fitbit. I also don't think it tracks steps that well. But I love that it links the Nike GPS watch. Nike Running, and Nike Training Club. It makes it super nice to accurately track fuel points, calories, and activity.
I got my Nike Flexfuel bans for Christmas last year. Everyone in my immediate family did. It's a cool app to use to keep eachother motivated and to hold us all accountable. The only thing I wish it did was track sleep.
Synching seems to be a problem after updating to Android M, even with the location button turned on. Uses to be able to sync 2 weeks ago. Pls fix this!!
I have been a Nike+ and then a Nike fuelband user for a few years now and love them. I was an iOS user and have since come back to Android. Love it! I have almost 2M Nike fuel earned. Nike sent me free shoe tags at 1M. Just do it!
This is ridiculous. I have been a faithful nike fuelband customer for 2 years. I've been waiting.... now to find out that you do not support the fans that built the Nikefuelband community. I'm glad that 2 years ago I was promised a Nike fuel app "soon".
So I've been using this app for about 3 yrs now and I love it, never had any problems with it until now. For the past 2 weeks it won't let me log in so I don't know if there's a glitch somewhere but I would like to see it fixed so I can continue to use. If not I'll have to find another app to use.
I have a Note 4. Fuelband SE. Work "ok". Friends section of the app would be better if you could track your friends real time stats. Friends ranking section does not refresh. Reoccurring issue
I just bought a refurbished Nike Fuelband. After getting it up and running, it will not connect with this app. I have a Samsung S7, so I know it can run this. Until it works, I am very disappointed.
I downloaded the app, but I don't own a Fuelband SE. And as my luck would have it, they're also going out of stock, so it's useless to even get this app. Second, I also have this app on my iPad, and it tracks my movement when I walk around with it. Can we start making that happen for Android? I also want this to be available on smartwatches, since I plan to get a Gear S.
I've used the Fuel Band and Nike GPS sport watch for years. Switched to a different watch because Nike stopped making them. But still wear and use the Fuel Band everyday. However the app has been weird lately, so I logged out of the app, now I cannot log back in. It seems to take my credentials, but then goes back to the log in page. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app several times. Getting frustrated. It's been going on for 3 days now. Wish Nike would fix this. Until this, it's been great.
I used a fit gear for about a year and came back to my fuelband. The battery life is awesome in the fuelband compared to the fit gear and it keeps me motivated in a nice clean design. I'm never changing my fuelband again!
I cant sync my sessions??? Where are the awards like the IOS version?? Otherwise works well... And why do my sessions always show untagged upon every start up??? And all my Nike fuel doesn't sync with my Nike + account.. Seems way to basic compared to the IOS version.. Disappointment is growing... make it better!!! I wanna see my badges!!!!!!!
I started using my fuel band again because of this app and I love it. Best thing you can have. The app is superb and it does what it has to do. Only funny is, I can only open the app when Bluetooth is on.
Disappointed that Nike stop using it! I still don't understand how I win hours and what they are for. If you can find one, get it! This makes getting in shape fun.
App won't stay connected to my bracelet even though it's bluetooth connected. Quite useless to me if I can't track anything.
It's great. Helps me keep track of my activity levels and reminds me to stop being such a lazy a**
This app synced with my iPhone 6 motion processor, but they won't release the same functionality for Android. It's very disappointing, nobody uses the fuelband that I know, but we all have phones that track steps. This interface was much nicer than the standard Android apps, I miss being able to use it.
I just switched from iPhone and I can see my trophies that I won and I can post picks from the sessions or really just post a pic to communicate with other runners.Now that I'm on android, I can't see or do those things. I'm slightly disappointed that it's not on the same level as IOS or maybe I need to reinstall the app.
The animations have stopped, they do not play after certain goals have been met. Not as good as the Apple app my friends have shown me but it does the job. Hopefully they'll put more support effort into the android side of things.
It's so great I won this at a work event and I've lost 24 lbs in 3 weeks also changed my life style but all because I received this! So sad nike sold these to apple for them to discontinue :-(
Facing issues while connecting to samsung galaxy S3 via bluetooth..uninstalled n installed again after that its able to recognize...still facing issues intermmitently. Also compare to iphone app, android app seems to be very mediocre.
I love this band since day 1. It's a shame that production of new and upgraded versions of the fuelband has halted in production.
I wish the application had more features or even an accurate representation of battery level. It hasn't crashed much so that's good but no where near as good as the iOS version.
Fuelband reminds you to get moving. Instills competition of activity between friends. Phenomenal customer service. App works great, never any issue!
I'm 56 and getting back in shape and I love the Nike fuel. It's more than most and very dependable and easy user friendly.
App works most of the time. Too often it doesn't want to save session edits. Other times I've noticed that it didn't track what I did for a previous day properly. And all the time it takes awhile to actually load activity for the day.
I love my fuel band and the Nike + community. The app is great and I've had no problems with it. Getting connected and syncing at the touch of a button on my phone is great. I also love that I can easily and quickly compare my days with my friends!
The band works great but my app doesn't seem to show my friends' activity anymore. That's sort of annoying.
My FuelBand SE pairs firmly with Galaxy Note 3 using Bluetooth. App is simple, easy to use, but a little bit complex to handle. Sometimes I confuse scroll and swipe.
0 stars for nike - not sure how many balls they have dropped with this device. After much long awaited empty promises - alas an android app - but wait - it doesn't support first generation devices. They shot themselves in the foot. They were first to the market with wearables in the fitness space and serves them right with the fate they have experienced with the fuelband. (the opposite of) RIP

Couldn't even put my login info because the keyboard just popped up and went back down each time. I understand Nike no longer develops new tech for the FuelBand but the least they could do is keep a decent app going. EDIT: keyboard bug is still there (might have something to do with the fact that I'm using Fleksy) but it can be bypassed by copy-pasting the login info from any text editor app to the login screen
