Dark Theme in Fitbit App for Android and iOS

Hello, It is a sincere request to add the dark theme for the android application as the appearance of the application during night time is very bright and with the dark theme it will be easier to use the application and not cause any harm to one's eyesight

Hi, it is disappointing to see that people have been requesting an OPTION for dark mode on the Fitbit app since 2017 and it still hasn’t been implemented. This would be a big improvement to to user experience. Please allow users to choose whether they use dark mode or lite mode

With dark mode being widely implemented throughout both Android and ios, I think it’d be a very welcome decision if Fitbit were to add dark modes for its apps too.

A UI overhaul to allow the present theme settings of the users phone to conform with the users preference (dark mode / light mode) or perhaps a user configurable option / ability.

Please include the option to switch to dark mode on the application (Andriod AND iOS) instead of only having the Bright WHITE background.

PLEASE make a Dark Theme for the Fitbit App!

 

I have been a member since 2016.  The post below is from 2017 and I even saw some from requests from 2014.  Love my fitbit but I have never liked the brightness of the home screen.  Almost every app on my android phone has this option somewhere in the settings.  There have been multiple requests for this and some with over 200 new comments.  Please I am begging you for all the light sensitive people to get on this for us.  Thanks!

 

Not only does allowing a DARK THEME offer us a nice visual experience, it's also a MUST for the visually impaired (like me - I have to invert the colors on my phone to see the Fitbit app at all).  Also, a dark theme takes less battery than a white theme, helping us get more out of our phones.  This feature is standard now on most apps -- it's missing from Google products, but there are many alternatives for those of us that use email, calendars and other google things.  But there is no alternative to Fitbit.  It's the best.  It rocks.  We love it.  Now it must address this concern for all users and offer a light or dark theme option.

Hi @TimmRubel  this area is for individuals who are developing apps for the Fitbit, but aren't employees of the company. What you want is to reach Fitbit. You might want to search to see if this has been posted before, as these suggestions get votes and the votes are what get attention from the Fitbit company. https://community.fitbit.com/t5/Feature-Suggestions/idb-p/features

Me and all other users think it's time to add a dark mode the the Android and iOS app.
Every other app of that scale like Fitbit has a dark mode for years.

Opening a super bright app at night to start a mindfulness session intended to get you ready for sleep feels like a profound misstep.
