I have always liked the Fitbit graphs. I wondered why some could show you history past a week and some could not; I wondered why some were line graphs and some were bar graphs and some were not, but I liked them.
The feature I used most was scrolling sideways to center the time period of interest on the screen. With steps especially, this even provided a customizable daily average over the desired time period.
After the new update (most of which is growing on me), I cannot do this. I am locked into viewing a calendar-defined section of data, which usually includes the empty future. (Screenshot of any graph showing a year, and another showing a week.) I can no longer display a custom range of data.
For example, I got sick recently, and it significantly affected my resting heart rate. The event crosses a month transition. While I can examine that from the 3-month view, if I want to zoom closer with the 1-month view I can either look at one side or the other, but not both. (Screenshots of resting heart rate, 1-month view, June and July.)
In looking up this issue, I learned how to long-hold and find individual data points. While similar to what you could do on the previous graphs, it is still helpful. However, if I want that, I could also scroll down the history to those days.
Your update fixed a glitch where the heart rate charts rarely showed a full day; it always looked like it stopped recording at some random time. Now my history is full of complete day-long graphs. Thanks.
In addition: This post is incomplete because I cannot find how to attach an image. And yes, I read
How To: Add An Image To Your Post
under Community Basics. I get something different than they say. What I get is - Well, I can't show you.
It is a pop-up box, titled "Insert/edit image", with four lines to type in. Above each line is what they are for; "Source", "Image descriptions," "Dimensions," "x." Below that on the left is a checkbox for "Constrain proportions." At the bottom right is a dark gray "Cancel" button and a dark blue "Ok" button.
