Before the latest app update, I could edit the exercise type to something different.  For example, I would change "sport" to "running".  I can't do that anymore.  Any suggestions?

If you're an IOS user, I have a workaround that might help you.  See my post:

Hello @bobbyfitz4 

This is a bug which initially impacted mostly Android users after the Fitbit app was redesigned and updated. Unfortunately, according to posts I've read, iOS users are reporting this issue as well after the latest iOS app update. 

The Fitbit team is already aware of the issue. We are hoping that the issue is fixed for both versions soon.

Same issue.  There isn’t a hockey exercise so I use walk and then edit to ice hockey.

 

just went away…I love how Fitbit changes **ahem** and has no idea they did.

 

th3 IOS workaround may work but why should I have to do five steps when one used to donit
