It would be great to be able to delete apps or edit apps directly fron the Versa or Sense wrist/watch. Others OS platforms allows users to delete apps directly from the watch without using your phone or opening up the gallery.
I only use my Fitbit and the corresponding app on my phone for counting steps, female cycles and sleep. I can’t stand when my bracelet (which I wear in the same wrist) turns on apps such as the exercise timer, etc. It’s always a hassle to try and turn it off, and often happens when I am midway through a run. I would very much be supportive of the other comments that I have seen to let users remove apps that are pre-installed on our Fitbits.
Arranging apps are on other devices, so I am suprised it's not on the Charge 5. Some of the apps can be deleted, but not all. Gallery > Apps > click the app. If you can delete, it will say below app name. If not, it just says Installed.
It is very aggravating to swipe the display and have it lock onto an app that I don't want and then it takes several minutes to get out of it. Like the Timer because you can't just close it you have to set it run it finish it. I wish the new watches didn't Swipe. I think I am going to be shopping for a different brand that does what I want. I preferred the old hr watch with the push button to cycle thru the apps but I know fitbit won't be going back.
