New app is a total downgrade.

1) Manually logged activity no longer shows heart rate plot, average and max BPM or heart zones, even for old exercises in which this used to appear. This is important information, why would you remove it?

2) there is no way to edit calories after an activity has been logged. since I need to guestimate calories burned (since for some reason fitbit can't figure this out from tracked metrics, just calculates a made up number based on exercise type and duration, rather than my actual heart rate) I now need to go through the ridiculous process of see how many daily calories I've burned, log the activity with estimate, see how daily calories have changed, delete the logged activity, reenter it with adjustment of adding/subtracting calories from my previous log.

This lengthy process + losing heart rate info makes fitbit close to useless.

Agreed, especially on the missing heart rate info. If this isn’t fixed, I’m going to jumping ship and move to Garmin, Apple Watch, or something else. I hate the thought especially given I’ve had Fitbits for more than a decade.

I totally agree. It it a huge disappointment that the app no longer correlates heart rate and calories when an activity is entered manually. NOT an improvement.

I agree. One of my favourite features about the activity log was the heart rate analysis. This version of the app is terrible. So pissed
