Can I respectfully say that Google or Fitbit or whoever completely missed the mark on this new app format. It is NOT user friendly, don't care about videos, miss seeing my steps EASILY in the past as it corresponds with medical issues. I don't want a blue/green bar on a chart. Give me a number. Just a simple number that I can see historically.

Good morning. Thank you for the information but it will not be useful. I don't set goals, use community, etc. I have sero need. Basically my fitbit is a glorified pedometer and sleep monitor. But the new app has removed basics and added a bunch of nonsense that doesn't meet my need. Being a fitbit consumer for approx 10 years, I am bummed it has got to this point with the product. Have a good day.

Piling on here. The app used to give me data for other workouts like HIIT and circuit training. Really anything I added on as exercise, it would grab the HR data and show me how I did. Now it only gives me HR history for running and walking. It certainly has become a glorified pedometer and I am considering jumping ship to Garmin. Why break something that was working?

Also when there are app updates why remove helpful app features.  The removal of the posting of the % battery remaining from the app is obsurd and a mistake that should be corrected.  The % battery info on the Luxe is very difficult to see and having on the app, as it used to be, was very helpful and just makes sense.
