New dashboard too bright

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

The background colour of the new dashboard is just too bright, especially in the evening. Surely there should be a dark mode option?

The new layout is not user friendly and just doesn't seem to make sense. I wasn't aware there was an update coming so set my settings in a rush thinking I could change them at a later date. I can't. I can't change anything, unlike the previous dashboard where it was easy to move things round as needed.

Really disappointed with this update, its putting me off using the app - its a really bad design which is in no way an improvement on what we already had. If it ain't broke don't fix it!

@Bumblescamps - If you can detail the settings you would like to change, we can show you how. The new dashboard is even more customizable than the old one. 😊

Hello @Bumblescamps 

It does take a bit to understand how to make changes in the new app.

To make changes to the "Focus" section:

  • Tap on the pencil icon in the upper right (below your picture/icon). 
  • On the Customize Today, swipe left to see all the options: Get More Active, Sleep better, Manage weight, Manage Stress, Improve heart health, and Custom preset. Other than the Custom preset, each of the focus options have specific metrics that you will see on the Today page.
  • If you choose the Custom preset, tap on the pencil icon on the left side to select which 4 metrics you want to see on your Today page.
  • Swipe up and use the toggle to turn on/off the metrics you want to see on your Today page in each section. 
  • You can also rearrange the order of the sections by using the small up & down arrows on the right side. At this time, it is not possible to re-arrange the tiles in each section.
  • When you have completed setting up your Today page, tap on Save in the upper right

You should now see the metrics on your Today page the way & order you selected them. Like the old version, when you tap on a metric in the Focus section, it will open to the corresponding page as does tapping on each metric below the Focus section. 

If you have specific stats that you prefer to track, the Custom preset may be the best choice for you.
