While I love the watch, I hate using the app on my phone. I loved being able to use the dashboard online. I am currently looking for a replacement for the dashboard. I just really, really, hate using a smaller instrument to record my stuff. I know how to use it; I just don't like it. I am 67 and it helps me to use larger keys and with more space to see and type. I have found other "dashboards" that can connect to Fitbit, but why would you even do that if you can do your own? You already have the software for it. Give people a choice of phone app, or online usage.
I'd love them to bring back the computer app too so that I didn't need to log into the website or phone app as I don't always have a reliable internet connection... the computer app was amazing!
Please bring back the Fitbit dashboard. Why did Goggle buy Fitbit and change everything, what's the point? There are too many limited options using the phone for tracking food intake. What's it cost to maintain the dashboard page? Google running out of Money?
Really disappointed that fit web dashboard is gone. I hate using my phone all the time. Guess I'm old school. Are there any alternative health watches that have a web app?
My vision is fine but I hate using my phone for this kind of thing. I hate that when I did have the app it drained my phone battery. I'm glad I'm not alone in hating being forced to install an app. Google has until February 2026 to decide if it wants to keep all of its customers happy and we have until February 2026 to decide if we want to stay with fitbit.
Google, please consider that not everyone likes doing everything on their phone, not everyone has the dexterity to use apps on their phone, not everyone can afford to upgrade their phone to download the app. I have been a loyal fitbit customer since 2013, I used my fitbit one until the very end because you hadn't made one I liked until the inspire 2 could be used with a clip, and I am extremely disappointed that I may not be as I do not want to have the app on my phone. Please, upgrade the dashboard for your loyal customers.
@stephenj I think if you click the circle icon to the right of "About", you can then click "refresh data" to sync. OR do you mean to Sync your Watch to your Phone via Web Application/dashboard?
Ok, so I say that my dashboard is still working and the next day it stops working?? Well we know someone is reading these chats, but instead of letting us use it they cut us off. trying to force us to download an app we don't want to use. I would love to keep my inspire 2 as I use it with the clip, but I do have a watch with another brand. Amazon here I come!!
I agree that we need to bring back the web dashboard. It is so much easier to log foods when I am sitting at my computer rather than on the app! This seems a step backward in terms of supporting users. Especially those of us who cook our own meals. It is difficult to add all the individual ingredients and is very time-consuming. Please bring this feature back!
