Use iPhone instead of only computer to pull up a Group I created. Looking forward to the day you can do that. Thank you. Keep up the Great work! Fitbit is the Best!
Please make all groups, including customized groups available in the app. It would be so helpful with keeping up with group members to show support and accountability.
Please add groups and group challenges to the app!!!! That would really take challenges, support, and accountability to a whole new level!!! Fitbit, we seriously need this and I absolutely cannot imagine why it wouldn't already be in the app!!! Please make this happen for us faithful fitbit users!!!
Can you give us an updated status on this feature. It has been “under consideration” since February. Is it still being considered? Please at least give quarterly updates on feature suggestions which are still active, or let users know that the feature has been shelved and is no longer under consideration.
I think given the length of time this has been requested, the fact it’s been requested many times since the start we should all just accept it’s not going to happen. they don’t want it to happen for what ever reason but just don’t want to tell us why it’s not gonna my to happen.
our private activity groups in the app. You are limiting your users who are trying to use Fitbit to create groups that keep in touch on a regular basis. For example, I run 3 weekly Workweek Hustles that I invite a group of people to. When the first one fills, I create a second one and invite those that didn’t get I to
the first one. Once the second is filled, I create a third one and do the same thing. Only 6 weeks ago I was only getting one filled, the last two weeks I have been up to filling 3. Hen I take the top 5 from each of the previous week’s Workweek Hustles and create a Winner’s Challenge using withe the Pohono Trail Challenge or the NYC Marathon Challenge. It hasn’t started to
creared quite the community and getting people active and using their FitBit, which is only good for you and the company as it will sell Moreno of your product. However, I have NO WAY to
talk to the whole group via my phone app, which is a HUGE DOWNFALL to using FitBit for this. It seems you are trying to create communities, and yet you are preventing communities from speaking with each other? Please fix this ASAP, or I may have to
move the whole group, now 56 people, to a different tracker. Thank you!
I created a private group for my work. We are on,y able to see the group dashboard from the website. It would be amazing if it was accessible from the app. Thanks.
I’m currently added to a group among my friends. It sucks having to log in into the website to see stats and numbers as opposed to just see it on the app
What a bummer that I cannot create a group and view it via the mobile app. Most of us do not login to the desktop version these days, so having that visibility via the mobile app would be priceless. (As in I would implement it at work across our employees, but most of them do not have daily access to computers and only use cell phones.)
Yeah my work actually uses fit bit in a health incentive program. We just started recently. I immediately noticed this function was missing when I added our group. I chided them and suggested we use a different app because of the hassle of logging in from a desktop 😕
This is 2018 and this still isn't available?! Please tell me I'm just missing an update or something and this has been fixed/updated to include custom groups in the app?!
It would be much easier to encourage our company to support the sales of the new Charge 3 by offering an employee incentive if our company's private group could be accessed from the mobile app. Please push this feature to the top of the development list.
Currently, we can only view our custom activity groups on the Fitbit website, and not in the mobile app. As I never use the web version, this would be a very useful feature for the mobile app.
Hi @Treval and @abigailhicks, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback with us. This feature suggestion already exists so I’ve moved your posts here. Don't forget to add your votes!
My company has encouraged us all to use Fitbit products in order to participate in a custom group. We have all been quite dismayed that the very thing we all bought Fitbit’s for is unavailable in the app. The custom groups are vital for us to engage each other. I have suggested that next year we go with a different vendor in order to have this one feature.
Through one post in the 15-50 lbs weight-loss group on the app, I have gathered a group of almost 30 people who are interested in being part of an accountability group. I am currently managing this through three separate workweek hustle challenges. It would be a lot easier and useful to the users if we could have a group that could be accessed on the app. Groups can be made on the web portal, but they do not transfer to the app. Please address this issue. I am trying to achieve my goals and help others meet their goals through group accountability.
