The primary use of fitness trackers is to provide accurate data about health. These trackers do not come with any pre-installed apps that you could use. The new Mi Band trackers are not different, they don’t have any App Store to download the apps, nor do they have that much space so you could save anything. Smartwatches are different than fitness bands. Those are supposed to replace your smartphone (at least some companies think that way); it is the reason the Apple Watch, Galaxy Watch, and even the new Mi Watch come with preloaded apps to deal with many situations and get the most out of it.
Xiaomi Mi Band is the best fitness band in the market, gives the best health results, and provides other services. Even if you want to go far than this then Xiaomi has opened the door to third-party developers to release their best apps on Mi Band 7, Band 8 & Band 9. With these outside apps, you can customize watch faces, unlock many features, and apply many hidden tips & tricks on the band. If you want to use external apps with the tracker, then here are the best apps for Mi Band.
1. Notify for Mi Band
The Notify & Fitness for Mi Band is the best utility app you need with your Mi Band 7, Band 8, Band 9 & their Pro variants. It has many functions that you need in the fitness band. Set custom alarms, and custom reminders, customize notifications for each app, and ignore unwanted notifications and custom widgets. Most of the essential features are free to use and you can unlock more premium features with extra cost. The app will also let you read messages on the screen. Notify & Fitness is available for free in the Android Play Store.

3. GadgetBridge
Another best app to use daily. You can use the app instead of Zepp Life. It easily allows users to switch between different trackers. When you try to unpair your current fitness band add another one. It becomes very hard to pair a new band with Mi Fitness or the Amazfit app. The GadgetBridge comes there to save from these hassles and to connect different trackers from different companies in the same app. The app also supports Amazfit, Pebble, Casio & Lenovo watches.

4. Navigator for Mi Band
Mi Bands don’t come with GPS & navigation support. Since the beginning, Xiaomi hasn’t provided any Map services to its tracker. Thanks to the developers we can now use Google Maps directions on the Mi Band. The app will let you use walk & car navigation and is compatible with Zepp Life & Notify & Fitness apps. Download the app from the Google Play Store and get directions.
