Charge 3 not accepting decimal in % fat

[Contects]

My Charge 3 will not accept a decimal in the % fat field. I can only enter whole numbers (ie 23%) not 23.4%.

This feature was working but has stoped. Any thoughts?

But why should it stopped Peking cos mine too stopped..

I wasn't aware that a user can enter their fat % through the Charge 3?

Are you sure your not using the Fitbit app on some type of phone or the web page?

Yes that was confusing, I’m entering the % fat manually into the Fitbit app. 

[Rich_Laue]

From what I understand this is not possible through the app. I don't know of a way to add body fat through the web either. 

Still not sure what type of device the app is on.

When you say your entering fat manually, is this your body fat?

Ditto for me, I used to enter weight and body fat from my scale manually, now only the digits are buttons, the decimal point has no button action, suspect this is an iOS compatibility issue

[AlwaysABuff]

I used to be able to enter decimals in body fat section if the fitbit app and now it stopped working. Is there a fix coming?

[130guy]

Exactly same. Worked perfectly fine up until about a week or so ago. Now whole  numbers only. Ridiculous.

This page isn’t useful. It says it’s been answered.No, all I see is more people saying they have the same issue. I have many issues with Fitbit. For one, changing the number of servings in your log does not change the macros or nutrients. It’s impossible for me to add a half serving of peanut butter and to have my macros come out accurate.  This makes it useless. Not fixing it for years is unacceptable. It’s also dangerous for some people’s health if they don’t realize it isn’t doing that. It could cause them to eat too much of something they shouldn’t. Fitbit is supposed to care about health, yet gives no way to track your total, salt, sugar or saturated fat for the day. I’m seriously thinking of buying a different brand. From what I’ve seen, most users have to log food on MyFitnessPal because your app is so inadequate. Exactly what did we pay for when the app isn’t even up to par with free apps.

Mysteriously it just started working when I entered data this Saturday. Perhaps it just got fixed.

You are correct, seems to be working.
