Add Custom Groups to Mobile App

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!

When are we going to be able to participate and interact with groups on the fitbit app?  Garmin does it,  Fitbit can't do this?

I take by the lack of response from Fitbit that they just don't give a **ahem** about the group feature.  Too bad,  it's a great feature.  Man Sad

I got tired of waiting for a response. FitBit seems more interested in bring out new hardware that uses the same old kernal... The put some window dressing on the software and called it good... I SOLD my HR on ebay for $35 and bought a new Sony.

Hey @SilviaFitbit! You reviewed this in 2015; we just got a Community tab in the app which is a great first step! But, unfortunately the ability to see custom Activity Groups was not added.  This is a huge bummer, since other pre-canned Fitbit groups were added, but we still can't see our own with our friends in them.  

 

Is this idea still a possible feature? Are our voices being heard on this?  Or should I make a new post?  This one already has such a high number of votes, I'd rather just spread it to others to have them vote.  Please let me know!

Activity groups should be visible on the app not just  via the website. More people are using Fitbit via the app than online. Would be much easier to track my custom group activity from my phone. Please consider implementing this feature on the app, as the generic community groups found on the app are less interesting to me than my personal friend Activity Groups.

Do you live in the U.S.? The U.S. app has this already, but the only groups included are pre-canned Fitbit groups (example: Walking, Running, Weightlifting).  We currently have another feature request going to get the custom groups (friends, family, coworkers, etc) added to the app also!  Vote for us 🙂

I agree with all the other comments! The ability to see our custom groups in the app is crucial. The large generic groups that are visible in the app now are not useful to me at all. I want to be able to see and create my custom groups in the app...it would be a game changer! Please please prioritize this functionality!

Ridiculous that this feature has not been added yet.

@SilviaFitbit, please respond. We'd like to know if this is still a valid feature request, even though it says it's "reviewed".  Is this still active, or do we need to make a new feature request?

 

@MarcoGFitbit maybe you can help? This is related to another thread you responded in: https://community.fitbit.com/t5/iOS-App/Can-I-see-Activity-Groups-on-App/m-p/1924887

 

This request shows as "solved", but it is far from solved!!!

Why waste your time. Get a Garmin!

It would be beneficial to have a custom activity group to be displayed on the mobile app, separate from the 'friends list'.

I am hoping that this is an option! It would be extremely beneficial!

I really feel it would be a great benefit to allow challenges to be viewed in the mobile app.  As I do not always have my laptop with me to keep me motivated, I do have my smart phone or tablet, and this feature would really help me stay motivated throughout the day.

 

Thanks!

Please add the feature to allow custom groups to be seen in the app and not just on fitbit.com

I can't understand why this request has been outstanding for so long  and it's in such high demand a it's so obvious that this feature is necessary and logical?!?! Uugghhh annoyed! It's not convenient to have to go to the website to view my group

It's actually pretty weird this doesn't exist. Like, isn't that kind of the point of the Community tab? Right now, it feels kinda like we're all waiting in line at a food truck that only sells drinks.

I would love to see custom groups and send messages and pics as well.

The fact that we even need to 'suggest' this is really disappointing--I'm not sure the purpose of creating custom groups if they don't display in the app, since the app and the device are really the center of this product and the website is for sales. Please finish building the groups feature so that it can be useful.

@dmcohen lololololol that's a great analogy!
