Scales, trackers, and other fitness devices that don't get updated will stop syncing

@arstechnica Perhaps they are better off spending their resources and developing search, pixel phones, G suite, licensing and Android OS to other OEMs. Aren’t these the services that are consistently being updated? Stick to what they have always been best at

Google are shutting down one of their services? Shocker 😅 Bit of a shame for any devices out there that rely on it to function. Yet more e-waste for landfill.

@arstechnica well that's certainly one way to ensure Apple stays the undisputed queen in the smart watch market 🙈 What an idiotic thing to do. I used it a lot when I still had an Andriod phone. Although I'm much happier with Apple Health now.

@arstechnica yeah, they've pretty much destroyed Fitbit's usefulness. Now I gotta pick a new fitness tracker. meh.

@arstechnica @atog Soon “to google” will not mean searching something on the web anymore, but “to break things”.

@arstechnica it's been several days since Google last killed off a service, I was getting worried that something had happened over there.
