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.

Be able to set and manage the alarm ”app” on the Sense in the phones Fitbit app?

The silent alarms need control needs to be reinstalled to the app dashboard itself, and not limited to only within the fitbit device. It has always been this way and this newest update has officially left me to consider ditching my fitbit device for a competitive brand for the first time.

I am also distressed that this functionality has been removed.  That was one of the reasons that I chose to purchase another fitbit device.  Sad that this functionality has been lost.

It would be very useful to be able to manage the alarms set from the phone on the smartwatch and manage them from the Fitbit app on the phone.

Please add back the option to be able to set multiple alarms through the app and not only through the fitbit device.

While it is good to be able to adjust alarms from the device, it was more convenient to adjust in app.

I think the ability to manage alarms in app should be restored. I have used a Charge 2 for the better part of 5 years - didn't like the 3, and now that I have a 4 I am still not a huge fan due to how frustrating setting alarms is. Why would I want to manage alarms on a 3 inch screen instead of my phone? Makes no sense to remove this feature.

The charge 4 that I recently purchased to replace my Alta doesn't have the option to set the alarm on the app. That option made it very easy to see the alarm and what days it was set for each week.

Restore the previous ability to set and manage alarms in the app. Managing them on the device is awkward and clumsy at best.

Allow us to set silent alarms from the phone app. I'm sure this used to be possible and I'm baffled as to why it no longer is.

Put the ability to set alarms back into the phone app. It is great to have it in the tracker too, but it is extremely annoying to set and manage. Doing it on the phone is much easier.

The current interface to set alarms on the Luxe device is extremely difficult to navigate. It would be much simpler to go back to setting alarms in the app like when I had my One (last device before upgrading to Luxe.)

I emailed support regarding the omission of the alarm feature from the Fitbit app for my new Luxe tracker. I see over 120 comments on the same concern from other Luxe users, yet no action is planned by Fitbit. It was so much easier to use the alarm feature in the app! How many of us have to ask?

[Odyssey13]

@UTgal  you see this? click to go there. I'd say it would probably take thousands or tens of thousands because of the number of forum members (over 1.5 mil) and more millions of users of the devices.
