Three years later and still asking netball to be added! You can’t wear a Fitbit whilst playing and it’s an incredibly popular sport. I just got one and I’m sad I can’t add one of my main activities. Please listen to us! This is ridiculously slow uptake from a the Fitbit team.

Post been going for 4years and yet there is no response. There are a huge number of other vague sports to choose from. Have msgd Fitbit on Facebook only to be told “put a post in the Fitbit community and vote”. Pls add Netball!

Netball should be an option for exercise type. There's an extensive list but Netball is nowhere to be seen, even though 1.4 million people play across the UK! Jewellery is prohibited during a match so exercise needs to be logged post workout.

Please add netball to the exercise list! It is sport gaining a lot of traction and attention in the UK with our recent successes at the commonwealth and Olympic Games and a lot of women are going back to it as a way to built their confidence and fitness! Logging basketball is simply not as accurate and England Netball rules state no jewellery is to be worn during games.

It seems the app has every sport under the sun including the likes of Handball, Basketball and Volleyball but not Netball! Would love to see this feature so I can log my actual activity rather that the closest thing to it 🙂

noticed there have been lots of requests for netball to be added as a port in exercise over the last few years, would be great if it could be added soon as many of us play and can't wear fitbits etc during the game for it to auto register & we can't add it in manually correctly as netball isn't listed!!! come on guys!!!

I have enjoyed exercising more since I've had challenges/scores kept with my Fitbit. However I play netball regularly & although there are many other sports, work outs & activities now registered but there is no way to log activity associated with playing Netball. My Fitbit has assumed I'm running or cycling, but I'd like to record it differently.
