*** 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!
