Suggestion Food database for The Netherlands

[WilBfit]

The perfect food database for the Netherlands is the Food app, the one with the apple. With this app you are able to scan almost all Dutch products. Fitbit, is it possible to import this database into the android app for the Dutch users?

Hi there @WilBfit, good to see you have joined the Fitbit Community. Unfortunately there is not option to import or integrate other food data based to your Fitbit account.

If this is something in which you're interested, please visit this feature suggestion: Barcode Scanning for International Food Databases and contribute with your vote and comments. This is a great way to let us know what you'd like to see in the future!

See you around and thank you for your interest to improve the Fitbit experience.

Hi Roberto,

I've checked the thread you're referring to, and I must say that I am not very hopeful this will ever happen.

Since the thread is running for years.

I'm very disappointed as a new fitbit owner that I can't easily track my food intake just because I live in the Netherlands.

Hi there @Krullebol, good to see you have joined this thread and to the Fitbit Community, Welcome aboard!

Thank you for your feedback about the ideas shared in our Suggestion board. I see your point of view, but I would like to assure you despite some ideas are been around for quite some time, does not mean are not important for us.

Sharing your support in our Feature Suggestion board increase the popularity of the idea you are voting. As moderators we don't have an schedule or specific date when are going to be implemented these ideas, however our product team looks forward to reading and incorporating your suggestions into future versions of the Fitbit trackers and apps.

It is not the same as scanning your food, but if you want more options as a workaround in the meantime, I can recommend to integrate your Fitbit account with MyFitnessPal for food logging. If you are interested please visit our website here for more details.

See you around and thank you for your patience while we work to improve the Fitbit experience.

We can always try to get more votes on this feature request Dutch setting and Food log (belgium/netherlands) to get the Dutch food database added to the Fitbit apps.

This issue is going on for years. In the meantime we have a large Fitbit community in the Netherlands and Belgium. It is time there should finally be a food database adapted to our food products, since our food  habits are totally different from the countries around us. With so much international supermarkets and databases available, it should only be a matter of investment. In this case I would also buy a Fitbit for my mother :). Another market to explore.
