You mean like dropping warranty support and a vague statement about cloud based features degrading over an undisclosed amount of time?
- Raphmedia 10y agoAs a Fitbit user I'm so very happy to hear that Pebble's developers are going to Fitbit! Fitbit's software ecosystem is bad. I have many Fitbits (Fitbites?) and I've stopped using them because the app and website are "meh" at best.

If the app and website are bad enough to stop using them, why do you have multiple? I would have expected the issues would be noticeable with just the first device.
- Raphmedia 10y agoThe products themselves work great. They track everything with great accuracy. ... The problem came when it was time to analyse that data. I was tempted to use their developer tools to extract my data as .csv and build my own app but simply gave up using them.
- modeless 10y agoYou would prefer that they not provide a warning at all, or lie and say cloud services are supported forever when they'll almost certainly be cut in a year or two? That seems to be the typical playbook for acquisitions and I much prefer the way Pebble is doing it.
- vvanders 10y agoI would prefer they open up the services-side so that it would be possible to at least extend the lifetime of things a bit.
