Add ability to set alarms back to the Fitbit App

[rjjohnso]

Re-add the ability to add/update/delete alarms in mobile apps and sync to all fitbit devices. A recent firmware update seems to have removed this capability from mobile apps and it seems it is only possible to do this on the watch itself. I would like to see this functionality added back to the mobile apps.

I purchased a Luxe after my Charge 3's ability to vibrate died, only to find that the ONLY way to set a silent alarm is on the teeny, tiny Luxe screen. I searched both the phone app, and the online dashboard for silent alarms--using the SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS ON FITBIT.COM--to do so. NOTHING. No ability to set a silent alarm.

We used to be able to configure our Fitbit device from the app. For example, Silent Alarms, etc. Not sure why it was removed from the app, but please bring it back! I see a ton of comments online about many folks who are unhappy about this feature being removed.

I have a fitbit luxe. With my previous fitbit (Alta HR) I could set my silent alarms in the app (on iphone) and sync to my fitbit. Now with the luxe, I have to use the tiny little screen of the watch itself to set and manage the silent alarms. Maybe it's my fat fingers or poor eyesight, but it's very frustrating. Unusable.

I can't set the Inspire 3's alarm from the iPhone app because the new alarm settings are missing. Please tell me how to improve it.

No need to reboot

As I get older my eyes are starting to deteriorate and I really struggle to see what I am doing when setting an alarm on my charge 4. Can you not allow for alarms to be set on both the fitbit and in the app?

The Charge 5 silent alarm feature is inconsistent. Stops working and/or deletes set alarms at will. Previous devices were controlled via the phone app and were much more reliable.

[savvychica4]

Please please bring back the functionality to set and adjust alarms via the mobile app. That was so much easier than having to do it directly on the device itself! Please and thank you

Allow set/edit device alarms in phone app. It should be possible to set alarm title.

I loved my ALTA HR. In fact, I had 2 of them, and would have bought a 3rd. I replaced it with the Inspire 3. Just returned the inspire 3
-clockface options are terrible, all versions of the same 2 digit on 2 digit design.
-band replacement is poorly designed
-you can't set alarms through app, only on tracker
-stat displays are too small to read

Since switching from the Inspire2 to the Inspire3, I found that I can only manage Silent Alarms from my device. When traveling for business I have several alarms to manage. It's a poor customer experience doing this from the device itself. The app allowed me to see all alarms at once plus turn on/off the ones needed for the week. Please add it back

Just upgraded to inspire 3 from inspire 2.
With the Inspire 3, the sent alarm function is no longer able to be scheduled in App.
It is clumsy and difficult to set on the device and like a second confirmation that an alarm is set.
