Fitbit Ace

Fitbit Ace for Family Connections

Fitbit Ace is the companion app for the Fitbit Ace LTE kids smartwatch. It is designed for parents and guardians who want one place to stay in touch with a child, review basic activity information, and manage who can contact the watch. Approved contacts can also use the app to call or message a child, making it useful for trusted family members as well as the primary account holder.

Calls, Messages, and Contacts

The app supports secure calling and text messaging between the app and a child’s Fitbit Ace LTE smartwatch. Parents can manage the watch’s contact list, while invited contacts can communicate with the child within the permissions set for them. This gives families a more controlled communication option than handing a young child unrestricted access to a phone.

Location and Activity Information

Fitbit Ace can show a child’s location and provide a view of their activity levels. These tools are intended to help parents check in without needing to be physically nearby. The app is therefore best suited to families already using the Fitbit Ace LTE device and looking for communication, location, and activity controls in one companion app.

What to Know Before Choosing It

• Developer: Google LLC
• Category: Health & Fitness
• Rating: 3.25 from 311 ratings
• Installs: 100,000+
• Device requirement: The Fitbit Ace LTE smartwatch is required, and its connected features use a paid Ace Pass data plan.
• Account limits: Some functions are available only when the child uses a supervised Google Account.

Fitbit Ace makes the most sense when a family already has the Ace LTE hardware and needs its companion controls. Without that watch, its main functions have little practical use.
