About Flash Link
Flash Link is an easy-to-use activity tracker and smart button compatible with the Misfit Link app that retails for $19.99. At this price, Flash Link is the lowest-priced multifunctional and modular wearable product on the market. Buy it now on misfit.com.
Note: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
Misfit finally fixed the sync issues between the misfit and misfit link. You can now use any remote in misfit link and activity tracking syncs perfectly. Hoping to see more remotes in the future added to misfit link! Thanks for this great app!
I bought the Misfit Link for a fraction of the cost of other fitness trackers, and my expectations are in proportion to price. Nonetheless, I have deducted a star from this app for the challenge level of setting it up correctly. If you only want an activity tracker, the simplest thing is to just use it with the Misfit app, and forget about the Link app. If, however, you'd like to double-click or triple-click the tracker to control some function while still using it as a tracker, read on. A Flash can ONLY be used as an activity tracker OR a music remote OR a selfie button OR a Preso clicker OR a Bolt switch OR a "custom button." It can't do them all at once, despite advertising implication. If you set up your activity tracker via Link you can have those extra functions, but it's not going to do them all at the same time. First, disconnect your Flash from the Misfit app if you've already connected it (disconnect it from within the app.) After that, go to your phone's Bluetooth settings and disconnect the Flash there, too. Now open the Link app. Go ahead and connect your Flash to it, and select Activity Tracker. The Link app will automatically connect your Flash to the Misfit app as well as to itself. Yay! You now have the function you probably bought the Flash Link for. Now you can set up the double-press or triple-press functions to a) send a "Yo;" b) connect to IFTTT.com for a recipe you can set up; c) Connect to a Harmony home control system; or d) ring your phone. I use IFTTT extensively -- so I have an IFTTT recipe connected to the double-press, and another connected to the triple-press. Finally, you will get the opportunity to set up your Flash to automatically turn on and show you your progress and the time when you raise your wrist (like an Apple Watch.) Think carefully before you turn this on; you can't turn it off, and it will run down your battery a bit faster. Now you can edit the tracker in Link to do one of those other functions (selfie button, etc.). It will still track your activity, and you can still sync it with the Misfit app, but you won't be able to see your progress or the time on the tracker itself (unless you turned on the wrist flick thing) until you edit the tracker back to the Activity Tracker function in the Link App. Also, you won't be able to tag activities unless your Flash is in Activity Tracker mode in the Link app. All this is horribly confusing, and not well explained in the apps as you're doing what you're doing. Worse, the Misfit app offers you an opportunity to set up your tracker with the Link app from the Device page within the Misfit app itself. Don't believe it! It lies! Disconnect your Flash from the Misfit app before you start in with the Link app, as I described above.
Even after the restore procedure mentioned in the reviews, now it just shows me how I pressed it (one tap, two taps, three taps, long press, with relevant light feedback). Appears to sync with the activity tracker properly now, but the device won't show my progress or the clock, just the above.
Set up process is much smoother now. The app no longer blocks me out if I linked my device to another account. I wish I could have the time and progress in my music mode though.
This is app is useless on my iPad, just because I need higher version of Bluetooth?? F--- Apple and misfit. Don't bother!
My Ray worked with this app wonderfully until I added a Bolt. Then the Bluetooth started dropping for my Ray (and only for my Ray) constantly, causing it to sync inconsistently and rendering the integration with the Misfit Home app (to operate the Bolt via the Ray) essentially useless. The Home app doesn't work as advertised either. Misfit products are sleek and sexy. It's a shame they don't work. I've had endless problems with their products and every app update seems to break two things in exchange for every one thing they fix. This uselessness makes the also seem expensive. Misfit tech support is cheerful and friendly but since fixes are low in results you end up feeling like they're just smiling at you while they make empty promises. I wouldn't recommend buying any Misfit products until it can be said that they work.
You can't control your Misfit Bolts with the Misfit Ray using this app. It causes the Misfit Ray to lose Bluetooth connection to your phone. Needs to be corrected immediately.
Forced to download because the flash is bugged: would only turn up volume doing nothing else
