Bring back Fitbit Coach on Fitbit Smartwatches

[luckySevin]

The fitbit coach app on the fitbit device itself was a nice, functional application where I did not need my phone to follow a workout. Bring it back to the fitbit app store please.

100% the only reason I decided to just upgrade my Fitbit this year was the Coach app on the Versa 2 I had. Seriously y'all had a pretty unique and innovative product. Workout sites are a dime a dozen and all but one other has a watch app. Why would anyone want to pay for a subscription for a watch that they have to use their phone to use any workout plans. Most websites don't allow you to have your own music playing while the video is going. The Coach watch app allowed that. Since the music was through the phone and the workout plan was on the watch.  The Fitbit Coach watch app was the main reason I kept my subscription in the first place.

Check the recommendation and features page...I've started a thread we need this app back...I can't think of a single reason why they removed it....it's already there just give it alrrady

Just upvote.... eventually they have to give in

I agree with all of you. Fitbit must bring coach app back on App galery.

The sole reason I bought a fitbit versa was the coach app assisted training videos in watch. It’s a leaving point.

It has been removed and they might bring it back as premium subscription... Very good app.

Please keep Fitbit Coach or give the option in Fitbit Premium to mimic it.
What I like about Coach:
- automation - every day I get a new workout that fits my parameters
- music - I would prefer Country, but Pop is nice, music I can get into
- personalized - I chose the Coach, duration, workout type
Premium has none of that.

Coach app was removed from the gallery app. The coach app in my versa 3 is an important part of my daily exercise habit.

First day without Coach and what a mess !!!! Plz, bring back the app or mimic it on Fitbit... It's not working at all ! We can't personnalized, nothing ! 

 Je me permets de commenter en français. Depuis ce matin j'utilise donc Fitbit et la séance est comptabilisée mais aucune info sur cette dernière. On ne voit que la durée. Aussi, mon compteur d'activité quotidien ne s'est pas non plus mis à jour.

I’m very disappointed with Fitbit removing the coach app from the watch. Having to do a workout from a phone is very distracting and the watch was a great way to get workouts in without being distracted by texts and other notifications. There are a few things keeping me part of the Fitbit family and that was one of them.

Bring back the coach app for the watch. It was about the only unique thing about Fitbit and great. No phone needed!  It was a terrible decision to remove the app and then send us to some mediocre phone-based premium workouts. Ugh!
