Able to select which data to export and date range after Google migration

[NitLionPSU]

I recently migrated to the google app which has superseded my fitbit app. It appears that the google app does not provide the same options to export the data from the fitbit device that the fitbit app allowed. The original fitbit app allowed me to output a spreadsheet that was a daily summary of the body, activities and sleep information.

Just saying ... I'm with KevinKe.  I was expecting the same functionality as Fitbit not the absurd data dump that Google are giving us.  I'm looking at alternatives to Fitbit and Google fitness trackers right now.  What a shame

please return to original Fitbit data provision

I tried to export my data today for the first time since I upgraded my account to a Google account, and now the only data export option is to export the entire history of all my Fitbit data. We used to be able to select a data metric (eg. steps, heart rate, sleep) and timeframe and just export that data. Not any more. So I exported the entire history, found my step data, and opened the file, only to find it is giving me my step count in approximately 3 minute intervals per day, and not providing the total daily steps. That's over 100 data points per day, and it doesn't summarise steps per day. What's more, it's telling me I was doing steps between midnight and 6am, when I was most definitely fast asleep. The data is inaccurate, and in this format, practically unusable anyway. I want to compare my daily steps for the month with the same month a year ago and 2 years ago, but I can't. Google is effectively witholding my data from me by only providing it in an unusable format. Shame on you Google. I'm pretty sure this is illegal! It's my data. If you can summarise your daily steps in the app for each day, why can't you send you that information through a data export? We should be able to choose the timeframe, the type of data we want (steps, heart rate, sleep etc) and we should be able to select from a "PER DAY" option and a "detailed" option. What's the point of tracking your data if you can't export your daily data and track your progress over time? I will be switching to an Apple watch unless this issue is resolved FAST!!!
