New Sleep Graphics Data Unreadable

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

The new graphics to illustrate sleep data displays in a bar graph that is unreadable and hard to decipher. The previous version had a solid background with easy to view bar graphs and comparative data. The new version is unacceptable. We would like to return to the previous display. Is there a way to do so?

Me too! I’m not a fan of the changes

Me too I hate it! Whoever designed the new data display must see the world very differently to a normal human being

I agree! Once again they have made horrible changes for no apparent reason. What did they actually improve?  They just made it so you have to search for your info. What does that do for anyone?  I challenge Fitbit/Google to come out and actually explain to us their reasoning.....

Best Answer

I got on to see if anyone else hated the new graphics - particularly the sleep info. PLEASE fitbit, put them back the way they were! These are unreadable, unhelpful, and just truly awful. Please put them back the way they were. Please!!!

Best Answer

I agree, this is the most rubbish change they have made to fitbit and h now the previously totally understandable sleep graph has become completely unreadable!! 

Best Answer

I prefer the previous graphics especially in the Estimated oxygen variation.  I suppose it will take some getting used to...maybe they will change it back for us!  

Best Answer

I agree!

Hi ErieEllie - this chat keeps getting people requesting that the Sleep Graphics be changed back.  But I just noticed that your initial  post has been marked as answered.  So I’m not sure Google Customer Support is seeing any of the additional posts.  

It doesn’t look like you were satisfied with the reply from Paul.

This is not an answer to the problem.  It’s just a statement and it has not been accepted.

Best Answer

The previous graph was so much better!  The new graphic is visually fragmented and hard to read. Please get rid of it and fire whoever designed it. 

Best Answer

I agree.  It is so difficult to read. Why change it for something that is not as good.  Hopefully Fitbit will listen to these complaints and put it back to how it was. 

Best Answer

Totally agree with everyone, I also notice that it is the previous days data that is showing up which is very annoying 🤦‍:female_sign:

I'm off to look at a new watch.  I've had Fitbit watches for years, but this is a deal breaker for me.  It only tracked half of my sleep too.  This new display is horrible.

I totally agree, if this is not changed back, I will never buy another Fitbit and I have been using a Fitbit for the last 6 years!

I agree with all the comments. There is no excuse for redesigning the sleep stats to make it as graphically cluttered and unreadable. What kind of mindless manager signed off on this garbage? Sorry to be so pointed but there is NO ECCUSE. And it’s almost uneditable and every aspect is worse. You used to be able to easily delete sleep stages with a swipe. And when adding a new sleep period instead of it intuitively rolling back to the previous night, you have to manually change the date. And when I delete stages the whole thing has to be refreshed/re-synced. Every single aspect has been destroyed. I’m finally headed to Apple Watch. With every new design the whole app get worse. 

Best Answer

Amen and amen! With every change they further destroy this app. Since the egomaniacal fools at Google took over they have gradually destroyed a once excellent app. But they don’t give a crap about their users so none of these comments will matter. Though I’m no huge fan of Apple, I’m headed to the Apple watch since their creators don’t constantly make everything worse. These Google basement dwellers don’t ever add features… they never add value. All they do is destroy. Very sad.

The new graphics won’t feel better with time.  This is the worst use of graphics EVER.

Longtime user of Fitbit. Paying for Premium mainly for sleep tracking. Just alerted that yearly subscription fee coming out of account today. Cancelled immediately although may be too late for first month. May renew - when  the terrible new weird (worst anyone could design for customer) design goes back to previous - or an even better format. Why oh why? 

Best Answer

I hate the fact that "Begin Sleep" and "I'm Awake" went away. The new design is stupid and doesn't work well at all. I shouldn't have to write down the time I began sleep then wait awhile after I wake up to indicate I'm awake. And, I prefer the old visual of how I slept. Changes should improve, not destroy usefulness!
