The 'new' fitbit app -- bad bad. Charts in every area... The app used to remember if I liked week or month or year view so when I looked, it was what I expected, now every time I open the app, it shows a graph for week. The app used to show the current day and preceding time period -- select week you get 7 days of graph, select month and you get current day and preceding month of data, etc. Now, you only get from the start of a period - so looking at 'week' on a Monday, you only get Sunday and Monday, useless. Likewise, selecting 'month', if you look on the 2nd of the month, you get 2 days, again useless. On some charts I liked to look at the preceding 365 days, but that is gone too as 'year' only shows January 1 to date. Still more issues -- the app used to let us tap the graph in most areas to go full screen, see the information better -- that is gone. Charts cannot be rotated to landscape, zoomed in, expanded in any way. The data points used to be displayed, and tapping on one would show you the information for that point. Now all we get is a smooth line and if you press and hold can get some information but as your finger covers the point, and if you let go the information drops, that too is useless. All in all, for the first time in I think 7 years I have data in the app, this is enough to abandon it all and switch platforms. My only other option is to download an older version and use that for a while to see if the 'new' app gets fixed. As is the case for many things, change can bring bad, as well as good, and in this case for a long-time fitbit user -- this is a big step backward. Thanks for reading.

It's not just the weight chart, it's all of them - sleep, zone minutes, steps, calories burned, etc. ALL OF THEM, Google. Please fix them. You did not make them better by making the 7-day chart a "this week" chart instead of a rolling 7 days like we used to have.
