Weight Section of App Changed

Replies are disabled for this topic. Start a new one or visit our Help Center.

I have an Android and Sense 2. Sometime in the last few days the information shown in the weight section and how it's shown has changed. 

My goal progress is gone and now it only shows how much I need to lose to hit my goal, instead of showing how much I've lost and how much I have left. This is very discouraging! I also used to be able to see a long list of daily weight logs and the average for the week (in list form), that is gone also. This was a very helpful feature as I use the weekly average to track if my weight is trending the right way. 

Also, when I click on "All Time" I can no longer see all my entries, just an average which is also frustrating.

I can't understand why FitBit would think it would be beneficial to take away data!

Can this be fixed? If not, I'll need to look at different trackers/apps despite ha ing used FitBit for several years.

What can I say? Google has successfully ruined Fitbit as we knew it. The weight feature as it was, was a fantastic tool to my weight loss journey, unfortunately I no longer see the use for my Fitbit. I'm genuinely interested to know the benefits to Google  ruining a gadget that worked so well? If any one knows an alternative fitness tracker that is recommended, please reply.

A conversion, sorry accidentally posted before I had finished. The average is useless! So now I can't track my weight as I can't update it. Useless!

I echo all this. I had data back to 2012 but can only see to 2019 - that matters to me because i use it to manage the 2st weight loss I've achieved in that time.

The dark trend line was brilliant to see the bigger picture as it often showed a downward trend even when weights were up day to day.

Hard to fathom how this is progress.

I think there was a problem with the user interface in the Fitbit app running on Android 15. I assume they needed to rewrite the code for the user interface to make it compatible and that they didn't implement all functionality to save cost and maybe make it easier to maintain.

I've been kind of a Google fanboy for years. This makes me think about that. I'm so disappointed. There is so little transparency, no information about future plans for development and no apparent desire to see what the users want. Should I switch to an iphone?
