I suggest allowing users to decide whether they want to use Google assistant or Alexa as a voice assistant.
I suggest bringing back fitbit app communities and challenges with friends. This brought a sense of teamwork and friendly competition.
Allowing third party apps like spotify or I used to use Golf GPS trackers on my Versa 2.

First Steps

A big part of diabetes community and their caregivers are disappointed with Fitbit decision to remove 3rd party apps from Fitbit Versa gallery. There are some very convenient clock faces that are being used to monitor remotely blood sugar of a persion having diabetes. It's vital to see blood sugar numbers in real time and in a convenient way, especially when a patient is at young age - because caregivers have to quickly respond to critical changes in blood sugar numbers. Many people are forced to buy watches of other brands in order to be sure that they can take care of their or their children's health and wellbeing.

Bring back apps on sense 2 and Versa 4.

Removing them is a downgrade to my service. 

BRING IT BACK NOW

Blatantly blocking something allowed on older models is enough for me to look elsewhere for my next smart watch

Please bring back the 3rd Party apps for Versa 4. I currently have the Versa 3 and was looking at getting the 4, but I teach an exercise class where the ability to control the Spotify music is needed. IGoogle shouldn’t ignores the pleas of so many of its loyal customers.
I got my Versa 3 before they took over. Now all I see are 4 Pixel smartwatches and only 2 “Real” Fitbit smartwatches. Thought ok maybe I could switch to Pixel, but those are only for Android users. I feel that Google is trying to get rid of all of us iOS users. That’s bad business in my opinion. Would rather stick with FitBit because the over fitness app is better but feel as though they don’t want me.
