This just keeps getting better and better...

Samsung Electronics (UK) Limited will include Fitbug's Kiqplan on the Samsung digital health platform.

The inclusion of Kiqplan in Samsung's platform was announced as part of the keynote address at the Samsung Developer Conference in San Francisco by Dr. Won-Pyo Hong, president and head of Samsung Media Solution Center, on 12 November. Besides the integration of the existing range of Kiqplan applications in the Samsung digital health platform (slim & trim, beer belly blaster, healthy baby bump and goodbye baby bump), Fitbug will create an exclusive 12 week Kiqplan, named 'Fit + Healthy', which will be available for download by Samsung customers, free of charge.

Presenting at the conference, Fitbug founder and chief executive Paul Landau, said "we are delighted to participate on the Samsung Digital Health platform and work with a business of the scale, quality and stature of Samsung. This integration should help quickly build Kiqplan brand awareness and establish a user base that provides a great opportunity to sell follow on Kiqplans to satisfied Samsung users."

Well done on these - time for some quick research!

Another 40% increase in Fitbug this morning. This share is phenomenal at present. In fact I'm surprised more people aren't commenting on here as a lot are buying...!

Up another 50%.

Incredible share . could go to 50p.

It could do Mitzy. Pausing for breath today though.

well done everyone - had some of this myself :-)

it also looks like ek got it wrong so far shorting this:

article earlier this week:

'However, hungry bears are always ready to rain on any company’s parade – particularly when there has been a spectacular price gain such as Fitbug’s in recent weeks. It was no surprise then to see the stock drop dramatically in the afternoon and close 5.88p or 29 per cent down at 14.12p after Evel Knievel, aka Simon Cawkwell and the Daddy of all bears, said the stock was a raging sell.

‘For a start, director Geoffrey Simmonds sold 2m shares at 4.4p on November 4, which is not exactly a bullish sign. There has been no forecast figures whatsoever or anything patented in recent announcements which makes me think that the chances of the company’s overall strategy being correct must be 50-1 against. It’s a penny stock at best,’ he said.'

so 50p or 5p?? gla

good news rns :-)

oooops!

Having one infamous bear raider (Evil Knievel) on your case is bad enough, but to have another (Lucian Miers) spells mega trouble. Shares of AIM-listed Fitbug, already plagued by rumours of an imminent share placing at a discount to the prevailing market price, lost 2p or 14 per cent to 12.38p. Miers proclaimed the shares are ‘a sell for anyone lucky enough to own them before the recent heady rise and a short sell for those who are not’.

Fitbug soared from less than a penny to 26.5p in a flash after it announced that its app, called Kiqplan, will be available (for free) on Samsung’s Digital Health Platform.

But Miers points out that Fitbug has negative shareholders’ funds and survives on handouts from two non-executive directors: David Turner, who founded LA Fitness, and Allan Fisher, who founded Holmes Place. Its debts total around £7million and most was due for repayment in July this year, but this has been extended until mid-2015.

Messrs Turner and Fisher have indicated they might convert some debt into equity in the event of a placing, but any raise would surely have to be done well short of 17p.

Watch this today.

good rns today

4p today.

lol - dont think winning the case was priced in hence smaller than expected drop

how can a company be so stupid as to allow itself to run out of time before going to court ..... obviously the case was going to get chucked out, and no doubt at considerable cost to FITB ..... i suppose they may have got some lawyer on no-win-no-fee, but even so

today's rns may well prove to be an important milestone for FITB, as the management chooses to suggest
certainly the market likes it, so perhaps i wasn't quite so dumb to put a modets stake into my sipp the other day

good stuff cynic - yes fantastic rns - the market is huge - jawbone have a massive customer base - some say 7 figures.................

FITBUG ANNOUNCES KIQPLAN PROMOTIONAL PROGRAMME WITH JAWBONE





Fitbug Holdings Plc, the AIM quoted provider of online personal health and wellbeing services, is pleased to announce that KiqplanTM, its digital health coaching platform, has become an inaugural member of the newly launched Jawbone® Marketplace. As part of the Marketplace, the Slim + Trim Kiqplan will be featured, which represents a strong milestone in line with Fitbug's previously announced strategy to increase its market profile as it moves to scale up the business.



Jawbone is a world-leader in consumer technology and wearable devices, building hardware products and software platforms powered by data science. The Jawbone Marketplace features best-in-class devices and apps spanning categories across Fitness, Sleep, Food, Lifestyle and the Smart Home, which work alongside the UP® platform. The Jawbone Marketplace brings together apps and devices that help further enhance the experience of the Jawbone community. Whether someone wants to use a smart home device to control home appliances via their UP activity tracker or send weight information directly to the UP App - all of these experiences and more can now be found in one place. Initially, the offering will be available in the US market only. The Jawbone Marketplace will offer the Slim + Trim Kiqplan, a weight loss programme priced at $19.99, and will also highlight the other plans available on kiqplan.com for U.S-based Jawbone consumers.



"With the launch of the Jawbone Marketplace, it's now easier than ever to explore the best integrated devices, apps and services for UP, including highly specialized personal training programs that work seamlessly with Smart Coach, the UP App's intelligent guidance and insight system," said Travis Bogard, vice president of product management and strategy at Jawbone. "We're excited to bring Kiqplan's effective guidance programs to the Marketplace and to help the UP community make progress toward the specific goals, like weight loss, that are important to them."



The Kiqplan system will work seamlessly with the UP App to integrate data across the two platforms for an even broader picture of a user's overall wellness. Food, steps, and workouts logged in Kiqplan will automatically be visible in the UP App and vice versa. Similarly, Kiqplan's step-by-step exercises, recommendations and recipes will be displayed in the UP App feed.



"From the outset, we designed Kiqplan to be as open and flexible as possible as due to our belief that the next step for the activity tracking market is to focus on helping people interpret and turn data into actions that improve lives," said Paul Landau, CEO of Fitbug. "In addition to having integrated Jawbone's range of UP wearable activity trackers with Kiqplan, we are delighted to now be working with Jawbone, a large and respected leader in the sector that shares our vision of bringing the digital health revolution to as many people as possible."



The integration highlights how companies in the digital health space are coming together as the eco-system continues to evolve by enhancing devices with advice and services that help people make better use of data.
