My mom wants a Fitbit. She doesn't have a smartphone, but does have a laptop and Kindle Fire (1at generation). Would she be able to use it using those 2 things since she doesn't have a phone capable of downloading the app?
I think so, as long as she is willing to keep up with a little extra work to sync it. It comes with a small plug for the USB that enables wireless sync. And the fitbit can be plugged directly into the USB as well.
I actually didn't download the app on my phone until my laptop got stolen, including the usb connector. I always just monitored my steps on my laptop at the end of the day.
