Different daily goals on different days of the week

[Yodonsen]

Setting the same step count or goals for each day of the week is very limiting and unhelpful.

For example, on the days I go for a run, and at weekends, I smash my steps and exercise targets by up to 400%, but on work days that I work from home, I often barely reach them.

It ought to be easy to allow the provision to make goals that match the user’s needs so that they can program daily goals based on days of the week or even via a calendar.

It is woefully inadequate and restricted at present, making the feature largely useless and notifications about it are frankly annoying.

Someone has created a feature suggestion for different step goals on weekdays and weekends which is close to your suggestion. If you'd like to vote for it you can find it here:

If it's not close enough then you could also create your own feature suggestion.

Well, that post is from a year ago, and yet here we are still with no added flexibility!

I will start adding my gripes to the FR stack. This stuff is so basic it makes me wonder if the app makers have even used a Fitbit!

It's a year old but only has 74 votes. Hard to know whether this is because people are not aware of the feature suggestion process, or there simply aren't enough people who want to see the change made.

Well, I was only aware of the feature suggestion section here from your link, there was no way to stumble on it after hitting the large product links at the top of the help page.

If those links weren't there, maybe I would have scrolled down and seen the FR section., but as my product is the Charge 2, it was natural to click on it, whereafter, no FR links!

So yes, probable a) they aren’t aware of the feature request process.
