Missing basic apps on Charge 5

[Astur]

Good day,

I bought a Charge 5 based on the specs, hoping to get a nice upgrade from my Xiaomi Band 6, just to discover that my new Fitbit Charge 5 has less useful apps than my previous $35 band.

1.- Are you going to allow turn-by-turn notifications via Bluetooth from Google Maps? Even when you are a Google Company!!! We don’t ask for maps, just turn-by-turn notifications wired to the phone by Bluetooth.

2.- The watch faces are so simple that there is none with all the full info that can be contained (day of the week, day of the month, time, steps, calories, heart rate, progress, distance). A few contain some info, but there is always a lack of something. Are you going to create a fully featured one?

3.- There is no ability to review the sports/activities after completion on the Charge itself and you need your phone with you!!! Even the Xiaomi Band 6 showed you a map to have a little overview of the route that you followed!!!

4.- For when calendar integration for iOS???

5.- Why don’t you include Music Controls on the Charge??? Are you going to do it?

6.- No one thought that creating a Flashlight app, to help in case of need could be helpful?? Actually very helpful. Are you thinking on doing it?

7.- Are you going to allow the user to organize/customize the order of all the apps?

Kind regards,

Al
