Jawbone releases its Windows Phone app, but it doesn't yet support its UP fitness trackers

Jawbone has been promising it would release a Windows Phone app for its fitness division for over a year. Now the UP by Jawbone app is finally available to download in the Windows Phone Store. That's the good news; the bad news is that the app is still not compatible with its UP family of fitness trackers.

Instead, the app includes Jawbone's Smart Coach, which gathers data from a Windows Phone device with Sensor Core technology. It can track workouts, sleep, and allow users to compete with friends on their own health goals.

However, the bad news is also in the app description:

"The UP App for Windows currently doesn't support UP fitness trackers, but will support compatible devices and UP band in the future."

Hopefully, that support will be added sooner rather than later. By the way, for some reason the link to the app does not appear on the web yet, but searching for "UP by Jawbone" in your Windows Phone Store app should allow you to download it. The app may also not be available for Windows 10 Mobile users yet.
