Love my Alta HR but this latest update is finally the straw that broke the camel's back of my relationship with Fitbit after 6 years.
- Sleep scores are worthless, as covered in other threads
- Notifications switch at random between "none at all" and "abrupt deluge", probably related to...
- Enormous syncing issues over Bluetooth with the Android app. Even manually syncing takes me about 8 tries now to get it to actually sync, and it typically does not sync unless I manually sync it
- Sleep graph is broken in multiple areas (both the main view on the app and the sleep-specific view) if you manually edit sleep, as is sometimes necessary
- The button to renew challenges from the challenge screen doesn't work 95% of the time. This will be the last week of challenges for me because I'm tired of manually adding people to a new challenge vs just clicking the Rematch button
This doesn't factor into me looking for Fitbit alternatives, but the challenges showing up before all my personal information (you know, the thing I actually wear Fitbit to track) unless I manually re-order them each and every time is also obnoxious.

@LostEchoes, done & done.
I have never wanted to take part in challenging others, just myself, but I know it would drive me to distraction if the order on my screen kept changing.
The separate tab was much better on the old version when I done a solo challenge.
Has anyone actually found any improvements in this new app version? Personally, I preferred the look and usability of the old version and I have yet to find any information etc. that has been improved upon. The whole subscription thing could have been added on to the old version and perhaps we would not be experiencing so many synching and notification problems.
After all, several years of requests still haven't given us a way to pause counting steps while driving and I would have thought that could be done in a fairly basic, simple manner. Which would encourage more professional drivers to continue with fitbit rather than giving up as they currently are.
But of course we are talking of fitbit. (SIGH).

Wish it was clear which posts I've voted for. I keep voting for your post (and others) only to realize that I unvoted and have to click again! There are so many posts about the challenges above stats issue that I can't keep track of which ones I already read and voted for. If Fitbit developers used the app themselves I don't understand how this could possibly still be an issue! Put the challenges on a separate tab and make the stats easier to access again!

@SuzyStepsif you hover over the vote button it will tell you to either vote for this post or to remove your vote. I don't how many posts I removed my vote before I noticed this.
