Bring back previous workout summary format

[Dez14]

I once loved using the app to check out my work out summary. Then there was an update that changed the summary format. It was awful, so I normally check it out through the actual website. Now, with another update, I can't even do that. Its the main feature I use but can no longer do that.

I agree. The new "Sleep Timeline" is terrible. And it makes me want to discontinue my subscription. I want the old one back.

I agree with all the others who have posted here. The new version of the Fit Bit Sleep Tracker is ugly. Please bring the old one back, it was better organized, easier and more pleasant to look at.

Please revert to the previous version. That was easy to read (even without my reading glasses) and I could easily interpit my sleep. I'm mostly interested in how I slept on a daily basis. Weekly or monthly I've newer used. I purchased my fitbits (custommer for several years now) mainly to track my sleep. It gave me a pretty desent idea on how my sleep had been. The heart rate and oxygen saturation were also much easier to read. The heart rate was also a good addition to the sleeptracking.

Everyone who I know who uses Fitbit for sleep is disgusted with the latest update. Is there anyone listening to user frustration at FITBIT/Google or has the whole operation been outsourced to AI?

Somehow the new one takes so much more space but at the same time is way less legible. There used to be these small icons that show you the type of activity uou did that are now replaces with big tiles with test that you actually have to read. The app was nicely colour coded, slick, so that you could get most of the info on a single screen with no scrolling. A lot of visual hints like icons and colours. It is all now replaces with a bunch of text thrown all over the screen, and I have to scroll and scroll. Also have you even looked at the new heartrate legend you have made? Like there is almost no contrast, these dashed lines just look so messy and distracting like they are the main element when they are supposed to be subtle visual help to show which zone your heartrate is in.

The new workout summary screen is not an improvement.

I agree with sleeprer‘s comment, above.

 The low density text doesn’t improve readability.  It just increases how much I have to scroll on my phone screen.

 And heartrate zones on the new heartrate graph are less clear than on the old one.  The dashed lines demarcating the zones just add visual noise to the graph.

 Use of a differently colored solid background band for each zone would be a better choice.  Use of contrasting colors in the heartrate graph line, itself, would also be better (but would require a thicker line).

 Also: Note that users hate the new sleep graph so much that they’re posting in this “workout summary” thread just to complain about it.  The new graph really is that bad.

I totally agree, I am so frustrated by the changes made , I used to check my exercise log every day but since the changes made I just don’t bother as I don’t like the way the information is displayed, previously I was able to view all the exercises I had completed and compare the output. I am not going to buy another Fitbit as soon as my current one dies

The reason I chose Fitbit was due to the sleep tracker and as many agree, that has changed drastically. I am hoping Fitbit is paying attention to how many users are extremely disappointed and change things back to what was an excellent view of sleep information. If not, I think many will choose another tracker.

I agree. The old style of app provided far more information especially for fitness.  The new color scheme is boring and bland.  At this point I think this will be my last Fitbit. The charge is supposed to be an all around fitness tracker and it’s not even that anymore, especially without the altimeter.  I would take back the altimeter and give up the completely inaccurate stress management functions.  

[Lm1977]

I agree with you as well. I really liked my Versa and it lasted over four years. I then bought a Charge 5 and I don’t like it. Even the charging cable is ridiculously short! It seems since Google bought Fitbit the products have gone down hill. Changing things often and NOT for the better. I won’t be buying another Fitbit unless they respond to the numerous customers complaints.

I rely on my Fitbit for sleep tracking. I have tried to be patient with the new layout in the hopes it was a glitch. Now I’m ready to get rid of my Fitbit all together as none of the complaints about this new layout are being heard, and there are thousands of complaints. Poor design leading to poor customer satisfaction is going to lead to loss of business. Get it together, Fitbit.
