Hello everyone!

I would like to announce that the redesigned Fitbit app starts rolling out today! This new app will help you reach your goals, and bring the health and wellness information right on hand.

Check out our latest blog for how to get the most out of the new app. 

Note: Please be patient if you don't see the update right away, as it will take some time to roll out completely.

Happy stepping!

DO NOT UPDATE FITBIT APP if you are lucky enough not to have done it. The latest app is unusable. Hopefully the old version will still work.

Whoever authorised this release should be fired.

I can't find the counter for how many days in a row I have reached 10,000 steps on the updated screen.  Anyone know how to get that back?  Thanks!!

Best Answer

Before the update I had a minimum of 16500 steps average per month this year- after, I have 4 months where I have around 15000. So all of those months data has what... gone? What on earth is the point of a Fitbit that doesn't keep an accurate record of steps? I might as well be using that free one you got with a McDonald's happy meal if we don't have an accurate record of data. And all of a sudden, coincidentally, you can't contact Fitbit customer service any more... back to Huawei I go.

@Csclifford I'm sorry but that feature is no longer available in the Fitbit app.

I don’t like it at all. Too plain for one thing. I like to arrange the icons where I want them. I like seeing certain things at a glance. It’s difficult to do when they all look alike because they are the same color and you can’t put them where you need them.

This is so disappointing.  I've had a fitbit for almost 10 years.  I've been on the yoyo cycle most of that time.  Lately, I have got my act together and have been eating right and exercising and am down 30+lbs.  I have lost all of the stats. weight loss, work outs, food tracking, everything.  I am sure even if fitbit decides to roll this back, the stats will never be recovered.  I feel stupid for this effecting me so much, but I have worked hard, and I was proud of the fact the numbers were moving in the right directing.  I am crushed by this change.

This app updated automatically. None of us had a choice! I wish we had been given the option test the new version and revert back to the old version if we did not like it. i agree with the many negative comments by community users - this new version is really, really terrible.

Best Answer

This new app is okay but totally sucks, I had 978 days of a step streak and now it is gone, My daily routine was to achieve that goal with the banner advancing each day, now almost doing on 3 years, down the drain, please bring it back, you are going to lose users, the main reason I kept Fitbit was for that, we got new phones 2 years ago (we both have fitbits and so does my extended family) and they had an awesome deals on iwacthes, I said no because of this feature of keeping track of your daily goals, now I have no reason to stay, please bring it back, I have no other reason to stay.  My large family is very competitive and all are dissatisfied with this, please fix it, and retroactively reinstate everyone’s daily goals with out losing a day

I uninstalled the new version and downloaded the previous version from Play
Store. I even turned off auto-update, but a couple days later it still
updated to the new "crappy" version. Very unhappy!

New update is terrible. I vote to demote back to the old version.  

Best Answer

I would subscribe to the old version, ($.99) every 6 months, don’t want them to get to many ideas

Kimmelinz, I totally know what you are talking about, you hit the nail on the head, I have been commenting all night looking for the right words, but you said the exact thing.I was looking for FIREWORKS

I am looking to go that way, hit me back when you change over before throwing this in the garbage, some many people I know is you the apple watch and they seem to enjoy them, they call me old school old dates 

We are stuck (Apple), until they hopefully decide to go back

God bless you for saying that!!!, Great job on your success, that is the biggest reason I hate this upgrade, I had a little higher number than yours, but like you, I worked hard every day (being sick), good days and bad days, traveling and walking the hallways of hotels and still reaching your daily goal

How??? No guidance and no choice 👎

This update looks like someone just took a " how to build an app" template and then didn't change ANYTHING . Lame. Boring. No color. Terrible graphics. Never been so disappointed in my life. My 12 year old niece could build a better app than this. 

4.0 ... more like 4.NO!
