Fitbit Flight game

[Brian_M]

My Fitbit Charge 2 now has a game called Fitbit Flight. Where did this come from and how do I remove it? In the Android Fitbit app it does not appear in Menu Items so I am unable to remove or reposition it.

My wife's Charge 2 does not have the game for some reason!

Any help appreciated...

Thanks

I love that game! I hope they won't erase it.

I absolutely love that game

I also hit every record on hit 

but I fully agree: I really like the game, it made me smile a LOT

I noticed I triggered this reward game at least once, but I was super busy before midnight and didn't get to play much. For the past couple of days, I've worked hard to reach all my goals but hadn't realized that it also needed to have all the hourly reminders to move checked off as well. Can't wait to try again tomorrow!

I find it's a great little easter egg!

It is supposed to be like flappy bird you push the button on the side to make it jump and how to remove I have no :light_bulb:

5 cut my get up and move down to 5 hours. The FitBit doesn't "turn over" well when you work nights. I do a lot of my calories from midnight to 4am, and I don't like having the reminders. People that see me often say it seems like I never sit down, but if you only move around in smaller increments, it doesn't get your steps all the time. I've had days where I checked and checked my steps and made sure I did 250 every hour when I had it set for 8 hours. Many times the interface did not credit me for that hour. I gave up and set it for 5 hours and don't even have it on my dashboard.

I really dont know now. Try to check if ur settings of the time (am or pm)
is correct. Try to restart it after if it continues

Yesterday it came back again.

Think I may have missed the hour goal (250 (step/h)

I too was surprised to see this just today after charging my fitbit.  I really don't need more e distractions in my life. However, I refuse to be a useful idiot for tech to sell me more products and have me expend more time on their data gathering exercises.  How do I excise this from the device? I purchased for my use not fitbit to make me a bot!

[SunsetRunner]

@DocRuthI completely agree at this point. I wanted to see it just one time, so I contacted FitBit via Facebook. What they told me is this: You must either have 1. Hourly reminders turned on AND hit all your daily goals. OR, you can: 2. Hit your main goal, say it's steps, 3 times in a row (like set your steps to 1000) AND hit all your other daily goals including your hourly reminders goals. So Steps/Hourly, Flights/Distance/Calories.

I got the game twice and played it. It's not for me. On the bright side I can choose to simply not go through the menus after I hit my goals, and I could care less if I ever play it again. I do understand there are those who like that stuff and want it and that is fine with me. However, I do not find it the least bit useful at this time.

I don’t know, I only have the Fitbit charge 2. Sorry

[SunsetRunner]

@Tbomb28I too have a Charge 2

Yes. I absolutely agree with you.  I could not get out of the screen and it freezes everything. Not useful when you want to go back to the watch.  It is still frozen right now and I can't get out of it.  Please give an option for those that want to remove it from their dashboard.

Hello, just found the game today! I like it, and I know there are people out there who don't....

Is there the possibility of adding games that stay there forever, like to play on a normal basis? I understand the purpose of a fitbit is for activity tracking, but I think that it would be fun to have something that could help pass time, like in the DMV or when your a passenger in a car that's sitting in traffic. I enjoy it a lot and I wish we could have games that are permanent, but your able to turn them off if you dont want them...

[RenaeJones]

Yes! I believe that we should have the option that we can change on the app for passing time. Please consider this idea 

[Asif_Dude]

Be careful. This may be another way for Fitbit to trick you. My friend loved this game, but his charge 2 button broke! 

[SunsetRunner]

Maybe he was pressing it too hard.

[Asif_Dude]

Nope. I was there when it broke. He was actually pressing it lightly

[MichelleP1]

I want the game gone.  I don't have time for games.
