## What is DriveBit Free?

*** This free version of DriveBit contains ads and comes without the fine-grained settings available in the paid version ***

Does your Fitbit® tracker happen to log car trips as steps? This can be annoying, since it messes up your step-count. Enter DriveBit, an app that takes the hassle out of keeping your step-count accurate. Once you get in the car, simply tap "Start" to begin a trip, and "Stop" to automatically log the car drive to your Fitbit® account. The app takes care of keeping track of the length of your drive and syncs it as a new activity to your Fitbit® account in the background. The activity overrides any erroneously counted steps and keeps your step-count accurate!

## Key features

- Log car trips as activities
- Syncs with Fitbit account
- Prevents erroneous step counting

### 1/5 — Does Not Work

*2025-09-02, version 1.7*

Maybe once upon a time this app when it was supported, but that is certainly not the case now.
When finishing a journey no steps are deducted from your FitBit’s total, either in the app or on the device.

### 2/5 — I can’t re-log in

*2022-06-02, version 1.7*

I tried it and entered my account name but I had two accounts and did not enter my main one so I keep re-downloading but it won’t let me log in again…

### 5/5 — Working great for me so far!

*2019-06-26, version 1.7*

I just purchased a FitBit HR, and noticed after motorcycle rides my step count jumped dramatically. After doing some research, this app was mentioned so I have it a shot. So far so good! This morning when I got to work on the motorcycle, my step count had jumped by over 1500. After logging my drive and syncing my Fitbit it returned to normal. Thanks DriveBit!

### 1/5 — No calories

*2019-04-24, version 1.7*

You burn calories even when at rest, but using the drivebit app removes these from your total, making your TDEE lower than it should be. Not a problem for short drives but a really big problem for longer trips. Today I was in the car for 5 hours and couldn’t understand why my numbers were so low...when I removed the drivebit activity record and manually recorded the drive in fitbit the missing calories were restored, nearly 900 in total! Useless app.

### 3/5 — Works (mostly) but could be better

*2019-02-11, version 1.7*

Works well most of the time but can be a little sketchy. Also a little unfortunate that you have to keep it open on the screen the whole drive, drains my phone battery fairly fast.

### 2/5 — Great idea, but needs work

*2019-01-08, version 1.7*

Works great but unfortunately doesn’t calculate the calories

### 1/5 — Not working

*2018-12-10*

Doesn't work. Gets stuck 'logging drive' so does not sync to Fitbit.

### 1/5 — No longer working

*2018-07-15, version 1.7*

This app worked yesterday but didn’t still allow Fitbit to log my heart rate and calories burned. For some strange reason I figured the paid app would be better; it’s not. So I went back to this one and now it doesn’t work.

### 3/5 — This app also deletes calories burned

*2018-02-07, version 1.7*

Which even if you are not stepping, you still burn calories (assuming you are alive). Thai should simply delete steps and stairs only.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2017-12-24, version 1.7*

I have tried to use this app several times.  It reports nothing to my Fitbit profile.  I logged in and authorized the app, as directed.  It simply doesn’t work.  Glad I didn’t just get the paid version.

### Is this app free to use?

### What devices is this app compatible with?

The app is designed to work with Fitbit trackers. You will need a Fitbit account and a compatible Fitbit device to utilize its features for syncing car trip activities.

### When would I use this app?

You would use this app whenever you are about to start a car trip. By tapping 'Start' before you drive and 'Stop' when you arrive, you ensure that your Fitbit accurately reflects your day, free from the interference of logged car travel as steps.
