Free Clock Faces?

[Veroman]

Why do all the clock faces cost money? Where are the free ones?

I had the Samsung Galaxy Frontier for about 26 months that has countless free options... can FitBit add a tab to just see the "Free Faces" for those that do not want to pay $1.99 every time they want to change their watch face? I have bought watch faces in the past but also am not going drop 2 and 3 dollars every other day as I like to change my watch face. That's a perk of having a smart watch with bands you can interchange, the face can also change with your style.

Totally agree

Hey, you can look for the FitFace clockface in the store and use https://fitface.xyz to create your own designs for free or use others' ones.

We already have lots of users very happy with the tool 🙂

Why don't you have a way to search the free faces?  I already paid $300 for the watch. Now you want me to pay for a decent face?  The free ones are all buried in with paid ones.  It could take all day to find a free watch face. Ain't nobody got time for that.   Just a total waste of time when you can have a free link that brings up all free faces.  Looks like I'll be going back to a regular watch.

I find that using the search button an typing in the word FREE is a pretty good way to start a search for the free clock faces in the Fitbit app.  It brings up 200+ clock faces although some do in fact say that they are paid faces once you click on them.

It would be good if those developers didn't use the word FREE in their description when it isn't.

[abhishr]

It does not actually. It brings up those clockfaces which have a free trial !

[MC11010]

Yes you're right.  I was just clicking on a few and spotted that.  I've amended my post.

[edogg]

Hello. Thank you for the reply. I did try that before I posted my complaint. It didn't filter the free clock faces. It filtered clock faces with the name free in them. So the first 4-5 that I clicked on were paid. So I quit.

Hi edogg

We are a group of clock face lovers, and we have come up with a solution among ourselves and would like to share with you.

If you go to the search under the Gallery and type "#Free4all", you will see a number of clock faces that are truly Free for all users, no hidden charging after a period or what not.

The result may not wow you, but it is a start.

Give it a try.

Regards

[edogg]

Thank you. I will give it a try.

All the ones I see there are "Free for 2 hours" then have to pay. 

[Djhodge]

How do you do that?

[MarreFitbit]

Let me know if there's anything else I may do to assist.

[edogg]

Where can I vote for that feature?

[abhishr]

Does this mean that Fitbit will not be developing a functionality within its app itself?

That sucks. When I first got my Versa, they were ALL free. 😢
