Bring back Get Fit Bingo to the Fitbit app

[OttawaMike]

Bingo was super motivating and a lot of fun. I loved it and I miss it. Many others do, as I am sure you have heard. Why would you remove such a fun and popular feature? It seems Fitbit/Google wants to make the journey as lonely as possible. Bingo built community. Fitbit seems bent on isolating us from each other.

I got rid of premium because Fitbit Bingo was gone.  It was SUPER MOTIVIN!!!  I have no reason to have fitbit premium without it.  I didn't use the other features!

Bingo has been gone for a while now and it’s just not the same. I miss doing challenges and playing with my friends. I felt much more connected with others and it made exercising fun.

During the beginning of the pandemic in 2020, I managed to lose almost 100 pounds using Get Fit Bingo.  Losing weight for me is boring, but Get Fit Bingo motivated me to get off my butt and compete with others using steps and exercise.  When you took it away, my motivation completely went away.  I ended up gaining all of the weight back that I had lost.  I don't understand why you took it away.  Did you get feedback that people hated the game?  I wonder how many people canceled their Fitbit subscription when you did that.

I would like fitbit to bring back the bingo game, it was an excellent way to keep fit and since you removed it I have found it hard to keep up the motivation to get fit. Also it was good for socialising as I could get together with friends and have a laugh whilst exercising

The games like Bingo and other challenges was what made this such a great community effort in addition to making yourself healthy. We would do multiple events running 1 day, the work week, the weekend, the full week, and 2 weeks and everyone participated and everyone worked hard to try and win. People have stopped using Fitbit as a result.

Trying to keep this alive,  I just saw it for the first time today.  I know there are still many of us who miss the challenges and most especially bingo.
It’s really sad that the motivational and social connections were broken up by Google. Yes it’s become a lonely place here! Please provide us some motivation. motivational fun

Someone at Fitbit needs to leak the code for bingo to another app developer so we can still play.

Bingo was EASILY the most motivating part of this app. I can overlook the other changes that made the app/tracker worse than it was before google took over but getting rid of bingo was THE WORST decision.

I will gladly come back to this thread every day to comment "bring back bingo" if I actually thought it would do any good, I fear it would just annoy my fellow pro-bingo comrades. 

But seriously, there is no meaningful connection anymore. I was actually able to MAKE friends with the challenges. Now the Fitbit "community" is just a bunch of disgruntled, disconnected, individuals
