Please, add Hebrew support to Ionic. This is made for Charge 3 already. Thanks.

Couldn't agree more!

Currently, all Hebrew text direction is displayed opposite in my new Versa 2.

"Hello" is displayed "olleh"

Supporting the correct direction will help a lot of users that are getting notifications in Hebrew.

Thanks

I own Charge 2 and wondering whether to buy the Versa 2 or to transfer to Garmin (knowing that Hebrew is still displayed backward). I hope that the people at Fitbit will realize soon enough that there is excellent potential in the Israeli market, which wouldn't buy it's products unless Hebrew notifications are fully supported. 

[Anaty]

Definitely right 👍🏻

[yaddar]

I agree , it is shame that such nice product does not have Hebrew support.
When other smart watches support it. Israeli croud are know to love gadets
and it is a shame to loose this matket

I bought a new versa light yesterday and I’m very disappointed, there is no Hebrew support!!!

All of my notifications are in Hebrew so that makes my smart watch in to a useless regular watch.

Please add Hebrew support.

Guys! Just do it, the request already submitted  at 2015!!!!! Very bad!

[YuvalH]

why is this still an issue?! people asked for Hebrew on your products in 2015, and still we don't get support.

i love my versa but it so annoying that i cant get any notifications on it!

[yaddar]

I agree. The experience with the watch is not owl for Hebrew users.

You have already added semi support for the language,  but the letters are written in the wrong direction.

Why do a half job, currently the support you have added is meaningless.

Please complete what you have started so all Hebrew users can also enjoy your products.

[MikeGn]

There's not only the problem of direction. For some notifications there's incorrect font mapping. Some notifications I receive are mixed of Hebrew letters and question marks.

[SunsetRunner]

For the love of god, please add full hebrew/Israel support on the Versa 2.

[SunsetRunner]

Yes Lizzy but this has been first request in 2015 and its been five years lol, why is it so hard to add support for hebrew??? is it an engineering challenge or what? we will start hesitating your products because of this..

[ashafir]

Please make this a priority for your developers and reverse the hebrew for us! your loving community 🙂

[Mogadishu]

It's embarrassing that the Ionic displays Hebrew letters but in the wrong direction.  Amateur product management.  Please fix it.

[Savyona]

Hi Fitbit,

You are losing so many clients because of a simple action that any junior software engineer can do. This is ridiculous!

How many more votes do you need until you actually do something?! You already have Hebrew and it is backwards. You just need to flip the direction. THAT'S IT! You are almost there! Just fix it and you won't hear from us again 😉

BTW, my friend has a company and he wanted to buy Fitbit Versa 2 for his employees and he didn't. Because your devics do not support Hebrew.

We are tired and disappointed of your answers to this matter 

[Amit_L]

Fitbit team - can you please tell when Hebrew will be supported, properly, from right to left?

[golalmo]

Hello Fitbit team,

When can we expect Hebrew support of the Ionic? Sometimes it's just reverse and other times it's a mix bag of random characters and symbols.

People who purchased this watch expecting to more then a just a fitness program and alarm clock. Please support Hebrew. Thanks.

[Noamiz]

I'm joining the requests. It shouldn't take too much work to update the software to support right-to-left text, and it will help a lot of customers, myself included. If it doesn't get fixed soon, I'm selling my watch and getting an Apple watch.

[liran.funaro]

I'm joining the request as well. I don't own a Fitbit versa yet, but the missing Hebrew support is the only blocker for me to buy it. Please add Hebrew support ASAP.

[Asif_b]

e u going to fix it?

Just purchased my versa 2. It is Amazing that it takes 5 YEARS to add Hebrew / rtl support for such a BASIC feature. I've seen forum posts from 2015! This is unacceptable fitbit! I want you to tell me where in the device's manual it says that you WILL NOT have Hebrew support, Israelis should be aware to that prior to purchasing your device. Your OFFICIAL statement from your product team is requested please.
