Bring back the old sleep summary page

When I had my Charge 5 and the first few weeks of having my Charge 6 the app would give me a sleep summary page with, Sleep Stages, Time in each stage, Oxygen levels and Bedtime and wakeup all on a handy page. Since a recent update I now seem to get a much more basic three tiles and I have to open each one and look through for all the information.

White background is disturbing. Hard to focus, follow and read. Colors are awful on the Sleep app. Please get advice from a design advisor. Maybe an advisor on color at Benjamin Moore could help you. 
In the Sleep app, the data are all the same for each stage. There are no Benchmark indicators as in the old version, and where is the 30 day Average? These two categories have the same data. Am I missing something? 
I’m already looking and considering alternatives.

Since the update, I have not been able to get the outside temperature in Fahrenheit.  Celsius is useless to me and even though it F is checked off in settings, my device is giving me the temperature in C.

I have been using Fitbit trackers for years and have had several. Now that nosy Google has taken over, I will be putting my beloved Versa 3 in the drawer and buying a Garmin as soon as I can. Google has enough of my information without knowing where I am at all times and my exercise and sleep routines.

Thanks for ruining a great thing!

Thank you! Yes that happened to me the auto update brought back the horrible new one I was able to fix it but I don't know how to turn off the auto update in Google Play Store I've tried Googling for instructions but I have not been successful. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you

Can somebody who knows tell us how to turn off auto updates in the Google Play Store on an Android phone? Otherwise it's going to fail again. Thank you !

The new sleep graph is visually unpleasant, difficult to read, not friendly to people with any type of visual difficulties, and less informative. Honestly, I am currently researching other trackers besides Fitbit. I have had one for the past 4 years, and I actually had one back in the day when it was a little clip that you put on your clothing. However, every change is making it less user friendly and I see no reason to spend this much money on something that is this unusable.

Please.  I hate this new version.  I like to be able to edit my sleep,  because for whatever reason, my sleep is not always recorded.  I really, really, really hate this new version.  Like thinking of switching to a an Apple watch hate it.

Okay, moderator LizzyFitbit, you said "We rely on feedback like yours to help us develop products and features that we know our community wants to see. If this product feedback receives votes from other customers and gains popularity, it will be shared internally with various teams at Fitbit."  My question to you is are you actually sharing any of this with someone who can do something about it?

Instead of listening to its customers or allowing some of us to post fixes or get-arounds to the horrendous sleep summary, FitBit is doubling down. Nothing like alienating your customer base. Yeah FitBit. Keep poking that bear and see what that gets you.

please change the sleep update is so ugly. Please go back to the way it used to be the sleep. Log makes no sense. It is ugly. I don’t wanna use it anymore. It makes me regret not buying an Apple Watch instead.

I have posted SEVERAL times and liked MANY similar comments about HOW MUCH WE HATE THE NEW SLEEP SUMMARY SCREEN! What is it going to take for FitBit/Google to listen? As a moderator, what is the threshold for how much negative feedback you need in order to pass along our extreme dissatisfaction? I'm now mad every.single.morning. What's it going to take, FitBit?

Oh, the joy I get from looking at a screen grab of the Old Summary! Thank you for posting so I could relish the good ole days. Please, FitBit/Google -- listen to us and BRING IT BACK!

When it's in the community site, I feel like FitBit can hide. What can we do to take it public/social and get more people on board with the need to BRING BACK THE OLD SLEEP SUMMARY PAGE???? Apparently, we need higher numbers to convince them ...

Stepping Up

I wonder if this new look was ever out through a focus group? It’s really not intuitive and is really hard to read. The writing goes over horrible dotty lines which really doesn’t help and the colours aren’t varied enough to quickly see the information. It’s a redesign fail.

I just got a survey in Fitbit asking if I was happy with my app today and was able to choose relevant comment about not liking display of health fitness items! Coincidence?Sent from my T-Mobile 5G Device

Solved. I found and install fitbit app 3.90  version.  The last ver. Before they start with new design. I'm calm now.

GREAT!! that was my purpose in trying to help. We really shouldn't be under
the thumb of Fitbit.

Thanks, golferhcw. Everybody can simply find the version. I do not say "google" it.

If it went before a focus group it had to be someone that didn’t use the
product and didn’t care about the reason you look at sleep analytics.

1,352 Comments (who knows how many have been removed) and 1,861 upvotes at the time of this posting. I would like to just share my experience in dealing with Google the last 23+ years. Over the last 6-8 years, this is how it goes. Product changes that make no end-user sense, or a UI / feature downgrade, and worst of all, and end-of-life announcement of a functional, and often beloved, product with no valid replacement designed.... this is Google of 2024. Their messaging is falling on deaf ears now (with this customer) and Google appears to be so **ahem** big it does not matter to them because WE are not where they make their money per se. But they are living up to their original mission statement: "To organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful.” Let it be known, the delivery of YOUR data to YOURself is NOT their mission. They are aggregating and organizing this data for THEIR benefit and profit. Despite privacy conditions and feelings like this fitness and sleep data is YOURS, that's a wolf in sheep's clothing statement. Google is starving for your data to parse and re-distribute and sell at their gain. For over half my life I decided to pick a company and go 'all-in' and give into the lesser of two evils, at least my data will only be known, managed and sold (hopefully anonymously) by one organization. But after over 5 years of frustration and yelling and screaming into a bottomless well, following this post closely, this is my last straw. I no longer will allow them to track my fitness and sleep data, it's just creepy now. You, the customer, can choose to do the same. I have been wearing an Oura ring for about a year (I have a documented sleep disorder and need the analysis) and will say that the sleep data and visualizations in their app is far superior to Fitbit/Google. I know this sounds counter-intuitive to my previous point but I needed this data and analysis to be more reliable to have for my recurring sleep doctor visits. I say this to throw out that while I am just as skeptical of Oura's privacy of my data, it is a solid platform for sleep tracking. The second point is that YOU, the customer, can decide not only to stop buying Google hardware (I doubt they even care or notice) but, more importantly, cut them off from the never-ending water hose of data you are throwing in to their ecosystem. If enough of us do that in protest to this lackluster response to our concerns and frustrations, they WILL notice it. This is a bittersweet post for me having been so nonchalant with Google, and after owning lots of their hardware and thousands of dollars spent on subscriptions and media over the decades, this is for some reason the nail in the coffin. Shame.
