Microsoft Band Apps And Services To End May 31

Several years ago, Microsoft tried their hand at wearables in the form of the Microsoft Band. It was a fitness tracker and it was actually pretty popular, but we suppose it wasn’t popular enough for Microsoft to want to continue with it as the device was later discontinued, although the company did keep its apps and related services up and running.

However that will no longer be the case because according to Microsoft, the company has confirmed that come 31st of May, they will be officially ending apps and services for the Microsoft Band. This means that all apps from the Microsoft Store, Google Play, and the Apple App Store will be removed.

Those who are still holding onto their devices will be able to export their data, and the devices are also expected to continue to function. However Microsoft has warned that should the user reset their device and want to set it up again, that will be a no go. Even better for users who’d rather have a refund, it seems that Microsoft will be accepting some refunds.

This only applies to certain devices, namely devices whose data was synced from the Band to the Health Dashboard between the 1st of December 2018 to March 1st 2019. Those who are interested in a refund (it will be a partial refund) can head on over to Microsoft’s website.
