Step-count functionality for Custom Groups on the App

Thank you for adding customizable user groups for the app. However, there is no leader-board (like there is for Fitbit.com groups) or step count functionality of any kind for groups on the app. There is also no crossover of groups made on Fitbit.com to the app.  These are features that thousands of users want and have been active forum requests for years. The custom groups on thew app offer the ability to message more effectively, but this seems like merely a half-step.  Please at least add the ability to track steps in a leader-board fashion like the 30 day steps from Fitbit.com groups or the 7 day step count from the Friends list.  Even better would be the ability to do challenges from within the group, with customizable duration and number of participants.

Nice suggestion, thanks for sharing. We look forward to hearing what other community members think about tracking steps in a leader-board fashion for Custom Groups on the App.

Seriously?

The basis of the original requests was to obtain the ability to do all the tracking we could do in the web on the mobile.    It is very disappointing to hear that the barest element of the groups have made it to mobile, but without the tracking that was the very essence of everyone's requests.

I was surprised to see that this has been a request for YEARS and hasn’t really been implemented. There is no way to find a custom group in the app, there is no way to access a custom group in the app, and I was unable to create a custom group in the app.
