About TravelBit: DriveBit Substitute
While doing activities such as driving or commuting, you may have noticed that your Fitbit tracker has accrued excess steps due to bumpy roads or other disturbances.
TravelBit aims to correct this issue by providing you with an interface that allows you to easily log these activities and remove the unwanted steps from your tracker. Using TravelBit is as simple as tapping the "Start" button before you begin your drive and tapping the "Stop" button when you are finished driving. A confirmation window will appear and allow you to verify that the collected data is accurate before syncing it with your Fitbit tracker.
Features:
• Easy to use logging interface - Log your activities with the touch of a button.
• The ability to store a queue of activities if you do not have internet service while out and about.
• Customization of the type of activity you are logging - it is not restricted to just driving.
• Easily edit and correct any information before it is synced with Fitbit to ensure that accurate data is sent
• Automatically detect when you are driving and log the activity for you. **
** This is a feature available in the premium version of TravelBit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: I have purchased the premium version and cannot find it in my app list.
A: The premium version of TravelBit works like a key to unlock the features of the original version, it is not a separate app on its own. For this reason, when you purchase the premium version you still continue to use the original version to run it and it will detect that you have purchased the premium version and unlock the features. You can find the original version of TravelBit here: TravelBit on the Google Play Store
Q: There seems to be a delay between when I start driving and when it is detected by the app.
A: There is a small period of time where the app detects that you are driving, but does not notify you immediately that it has detected it until it is sure that you are driving. This is to prevent false-positives caused by rapid motion of your device that isn't actually driving. Keep in mind that the time the app initially detects you as driving is saved before this "grace period" is entered. You will find that when the actual drive is logged, the start time will usually be 3-5 minutes before the notification is actually sent.
Using the detected driving does not interfere with manual entries. You are still able to manually log your drives if you are concerned about the exact start and end times being recorded. Detected driving is intended to be more of a "fall back" method than to be relied upon for incredible accuracy.

I've discovered my fitbit is highly likely to record steps when I am constantly changing gear in city traffic in the UK. That problem doesn't occur to the same degree when cruising the motorway. This app solves a problem likely to be encountered in any country where automatic transmissions are uncommon.

At first I thought this app was not working, because I'd drive over bumps and steps would be tracked. Then I realized the "steps" tracked during a drive were deducted AFTER I touched "STOP" and the drive was recorded as an activity in my FitBit activity log. Important thing to know.

Does the app add calories burned to the exercise too? I have found it to be adding calories onto my fitbit instead of adjusting the calories it's worked out from the steps it's deleting

Savior from one big shortcoming of fitbit. A real nice effort and app to address the issue. Can drive without worrying abt the extra steps and floors getting added to the dashboard hereafter.

After i sync the data with my fitbit, will those steps come off my fitbit?

The drivebit writes back to the fitbit but didn't alter steps recorded into a challenge. Does this app do that?

Useless, waste of time! Did not sync and change my step count. Can't redo as it cleared the data when it was meant to sync

EDIT: Past couple of days, I've been getting token authorisation errors. Can you help? Glad to have a replacement for the other app which disappeared a few months ago. While a widget would be great, a shortcut to the app works just as well. And it works well so far - with no faffing around inputting and calculating time driven, as on the fitbit app. CHUFFED.

I drive a lot for work on very bumpy roads so my Fitbit was basically useless once Drivebit stopped working. So glad this app is filling that void! It works awesome and it looks pretty which is always a plus.

The app is simple and easy to use, but in drivebit, the previous app, there were the widget that for me is the one of the most useful thing, hoping it will come back soon

I bought Premium for the Drive Detection feature, but it never worked. Later, I installed an other app that detects driving automatically just to check (Locale) and it worked flawlessly. Is there any tweak, setting, or extension that will make this feature work in TravelBit?

The app is clean and easy to use, but it would be nice to have a widget to quickly start and stop. Also would like to be able to schedule start stop time or be able to use with Tasker

A perfect replacement for Drivebit. Like other reviewers, I would love to see a toggling widget (I'll pay for the no-ad version if you do!)....

Somebody stepped up to help out where drivebit left off! As I drive a motorcycle and commercial vehicles, I get erroneous readings every time I'm using one! This will get my numbers correct again! Thank you for your time and effort in bringing this to us. (purchased the premium within 1 minute of install to show my appreciation)
