Bring back detailed AZM graph with colored rings

Bring back the solid green icons and fanfare or fireworks once I've achieved my daily goals.

Bring back the battery life display. 

Bring back the Zone minutes bar graph that showed yellow and orange. It was aouch clearer to read.

Bring back the Calorie bar graph that showed blue, green, and red. 

The new software for the home svreen has larger font and icons, which I can understand will help many people but having removed the featured above makes it much more difficult for everyone including those who struggle with sight. The features that have been replaced are small, colours used so not stand out.

If you want to improve something, make the food databases better. My Recents shows items at the top that I have never ever had!

Please bring back the bar chart that clearly showed Zone minutes burned, showing yellow, orange and red.
The new charts do not stand out at all. They are tiny, the colours do not distinguish themselves, it's impossible to read such a small squiggle.
Please bring back the old bar charts that used to appear at the top of the page in such a clear way.

well said, i think it will be looking into something different, aside from looking at steps taken and sleep stats it is not useless to me

I agree!!! This is a major reason I bought the watch in the first place!!

This is one of my biggest problems with this new app.  The old one was so nice to look at and very easy to read with the bar charts and the fun colours.  It was more informative at a glance.  I don't like how it says light, moderate and peak instead of fat burn, cardio and peak.

I agree, the new app is visually awful!!!!!!

I loved seeing my heart rate stand in work out with easy to see bright colours and clear map stat's if it was a run, now it is so dissapointing

I look at my steps, but my real goal is making sure I get cardio minutes. With the old app, I could sync and click on the zone minutes and easily see my ring of yellow and orange. Yellow is good, but my goal was always to see more orange on the ring! I can't quickly see that on the new app and I am not interested in scrolling thru all the graphs

This morning I find that the legacy design for zone minutes has been replaced by the new design and it’s as horrible as the rest. Colour-coding helped me with my weight loss because I could see at a glance that I didn’t do enough moderate cardio. It’s not accessible. Please stop the rollout on other pages, rethink the changes.

I am genuinely curious about what brings about these changes. Does Fitbit use a focus group? Is there a particular group of people who sit around and think about what changes should be implemented without bothering to do any research with actual users? I have yet to see any positive feedback on the new app interface, with good reason. So many useful features were taken away and the only response I've seen from Fitbit on the "why" of this whole mess is that they wanted to make things "sleeker", which I guess means eliminating previous features, regardless of whether they were helpful? Really, what is the "why" and "how" of the process here? I've been a Fitbit user for over 10 years, starting with the Zip, so I'm used to changes, but this is just a mess.

I need the coding to see how my heart is doing as I have a condition. This design is absolutely rubbish and doesn't really give any info. I'll have to seek out another fitness monitor if this is the same. What on earth were they thinking? It's terrible.

I need to track my heartrate and it there is literally no point having the thing now. The update is dire.

Simply less informative than the last version.

Used to be able to see zone minutes at "x time - x time" and the breakdown during each session.

Now all you see is a single time without a breakdown.

Absolute rubbish! Why on earth change specifically what everyone liked. We all liked the detailed information on our exercise and now you’ve given us something specifically designed for five-year-olds. This is simply bad design. Please let us have our old system back and stop faffing with things just for the sake of it.

I enjoy my Fitbit as does my my wife hers. However the latest update showing exercise results is not good, actually it sucks!  We both like the color bar showing the intensity of the workout, I.e. custom, peak, cardio, etc.  The new format is visually pleasing and takes more time to decipher.  If the new format stays, then I will not be purchasing another Fitbit and may try to sell my present one and move on to another type of device. We have had four fitbits and have been happy until now. Thanks!  Hope you are listening.
