Allow us to move or delete Cardio Load prompt

[BonBon7]

There is a new Activity called Cardio Load on my home page and I cannot move or delete it. I don't care about it. I want to see my Steps on the top of the list and now I can't see them because of this new Activity and the size of my iPhone mini. This is ridiculous.

It is the most ridiculous thing that Fitbit has not removed the cardio load prompts - this thread alone is up to over 800 people who want it and it is just a small development fix. They just don’t care - I contacted to support and asked to speak to a manager to discuss they refused to put me through and told me I had to post here - told them wasn’t much point as hundreds of people have posted to remove and the do nothing

Adding my humble opinion under all these messages. I can't believe that it's been months since it was rolled out and more than 800 people expressed the desire to disable this useless tool but the request is  completely ignored 🙄 is it because you invested so much money in this feature that you cannot justify allowing us to disable it? (Rendering your investment useless??) Cause it's not useful at all. I have a pretty good fitness routine and my Fitbit doesn't understand it at all. It gives pop up messages of overtraining or undertraining and they're completely wrong 🤣 whoever developed this feature should find a new job. And it's the only feature you cannot turn off and it is yet so annoying an misleading. Do better!

I have tachycardia - I have episodes where my heart beats abnormally fast.  Because of this, I will have days where I don't exercise AT ALL and the next day I get a message telling me I'm at risk for overtraining.  And yet, paradoxically, there will be days where I DO work out, and SOMEHOW the next day the Fitbit app will tell me I need to step it up because I'm at risk of undertraining.  

This is clearly neither accurate nor useful - WHY DO I HAVE TO SEE IT EVERY MORNING??

I get the frustration — more flexibility in arranging the dashboard would help. Some apps with finnische Herstellung focus more on user control, which makes the experience smoother.

It is obvious google doesn't care how we feel. 😡

The pop-up for cardio load always makes me feel bad 😞 

[cylonvamp]

Me too, it really ruins the experience for me. I used to love using my Fitbit Versa 2. ☹️

There are hundreds of comments, many of which describe the very real harm this causes in detail, but I think Felicity9274749 has summed it all up brilliantly - when I see it, I feel bad. They've implemented a feature that makes users feel bad. Isn't that enough of a reason to undo it?

@LizzyFitbit - as the moderator for this thread, how is this thread still marked as "under consideration" when it's been over 5 months now?  Back on March 19th, "’I'm happy to let you know that this feedback has been picked up internally at Fitbit and is being considered by our team. This product feedback will either remain ‘Under Consideration’ until released, or else move to ‘Not Currently Planned’ if it’s not viable right now. Further updates will be posted here."  Yet, no updates....  after 5 months for a bug that would just be so easy for Google to update.  Instead, more comments from frustrated and/or deflated people that are clearly being ignored, and even more concerning is that ignoring these messages sure feels like it could be a big liability for Google when some people here aren't just disliking the feature like me but are saying this feature impacts their mental health or gives suggestions that clearly appear to be unhealthy for someone who is saying they are working out a ton and it's still saying they are under training?  This sounds like what appears to be "medical advice" from a fitness tracker, and not very helpful or healthy advice since this tracker has zero awareness of anyone's personal or physical health.  Does Google not see what this could lead to?  I hope you all have some good lawyers in case ignoring these comments lands Google in court...

Commenting again to say that it’s been months and I still find this feature to be awful, demotivating, and inaccurate. I’ve turned it off but still, once a week, I get a notification about how my “activity has been lower than usual!” This is regardless of the activity that I’ve done - I’m very happy with my current activity levels. I request the deletion of my cardio load data and it goes away… until the next week, when it pops up again. Not letting us fully disable a feature that many of us deem harmful is bizarre. Please consider adjusting this.

I work out 60 to 90 mins a day. I take a day off to recover. But that's not good enough. Saturday is usually my rest day. Can't do that though.  I've gone from 'over training'. to 'Under training'.  Seriously? I can't believe the removal of the cardio load feature is STILL UNER CONSIDERATION. I curse it, hit it the 'x' and then it comes right back up like a cursed zombie shambling along, Instead of growling for 'brains' it's growling 'cardioooooooo'  Clearly google doesn't care about our well being at all.  🧟🥺 

[cylonvamp]

Still 'under consideration'. Translation? Nope they don't care they will never listen to us.  An yet, I still hope.
