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.

@JGal2024 Really? Mine is still the updated awful one. Did you have to reset it?

Hi @Keliou After reading @JGal2024 comment I tried to reset my app but no success I’m afraid. @culturalbassoon @I agree that the whole app experience is heavy going now. Each change has been an annoyance but the sleep tracker change was what finally made me post here -  the first time in seven years as a Fitbit member that I have done so.

I’ve been reading other posts on the forums since my own post and noted how important the app data is for many with specific health concerns and how the data informs conversations with their medical advisers. All of this makes me feel that change to the app interface is really important, not simply a matter of personal preference and I hope Fitbit takes note of this feedback and takes action to restore the functionality we appreciated and many rely upon. 

I’m also really fed up with the exercise tracker which now prevents you from recategorising exercise.

The change is awful indeed.  I initially thought the app had a glitch because it looked so terrible.  After two days I finally realized the change was permenant.  Very hard to read and most importantly now the app no longer shows the SPO2 variation.  I bought a Fitbit because I have borderline sleep apnea.  The app used to be able to tell me when that happened during the night but now it's gone.  If they don't change it back I won't buy another Fitbit because it's useless to me.

Stepping Up

@Keliou @BusyA Yea, I am not sure how it happened, but I went to look at my sleep data again just a few minutes after posting and it was back to the old! I didn’t reset or anything. I have no idea how this happened. I had hoped maybe they just saw the backlash and changed it back. I hope they do that for everyone. Hearing that it didn’t reverse for everyone, perhaps mine won’t stay reverted. Gosh, I hope mine stays reverted and everyone else's gets changed back too!

Bummer! I'm sorry! I hope they read this thread and more and more people
comment so they can just undo it.

Fitbit will never regress back to a previous version. Ever. It’s admitting their tech guys don’t know better than their users. They believe every update will be beneficial but each time they update the display dashboard it just becomes harder to interact with them and the user is less likely to buy another product or upgrade. I still haven’t got over the last upgrade. But unfortunately get used to this upgrade they will never revert to old. They never do.

Please change it back to what it was, or Just add The old view type in The tabs. 
this version now is not proparly readable or useable…

I agree. Awful. Previous set out was much easier to read. Please bring it back!

Totally agree, why tinker with it when it works fine?????? Please revert back

Totally agree, it's another awful update! Hate the new layout, not at all user friendly, please stop this madness! It seems like the majority of users do not like the changes that are being made...

Sleep tracker is abysmal now, was considering upgrading but that won't be happening.
Each 'upgrade' has been a downgrade for user preference and functionality.

Please go back to the sleep stage display you had previously. It is far better than this most recent update and was very easy to work with. Now it is cluttered and difficult to understand the information. I can see that you are trying to provide the same format that you do as steps, for example, to be able to see, week, month, year, data. That is a good idea but please use the previous graph style and presentation, it was far easier to see the data with colors and work with the information.

Perhaps a basic IT rule about making changes should be applied.  CONDUCT A USER TEST BEFORE ROLLING OUT A NEW VERSION.  This sleep display is terrible!

New app Fail - update looks like it has been developed by a primary school student, absolutely abysmal. Can we please have the old version back, if not I will be ditching my Fitbits

The sleep app makes no sense,  I  can't understand it anymore. I thought something was wrong it. Please change it back!!!! At least give people the option of choosing the old version. If not, I am starting to look for a different health tracker watch. I won't be buying a fitbit again, to hard to read & understand. You lost my business.

Does anyone know of a different brand that has better sleep graphs? More like the old version of fitbit?

The sleep tracker update is AWFUL!!! It is not easy to read at all and the "Restorative" sleep is no longer available either, and we can no longer see sleep/wake-up time at the front...you have to actually open it to find it and even then. Please change this back. Between only having videos of recipes with NO actual recipes and now this recent change to the Sleep Tracker ... paying for Premium is not worth for me. If these remain the same by the time it comes to renew my Premium account, I will NOT be purchasing Premium as it has no added value to me.

My wife noticed that if you touch the new sleep graph, a bar appears that you can move around the graph.  The graph will display precise info about that interval of sleep.  This is much more precise than the previous version.  But definitely not as pretty.

Also, there is an oxygen variation graph, you just have to tap to get to it.

Absolutely agree.   I use the sleep data daily and the latest format is not helpful.

I couldn't agree more. It's completely broken. Way harder to read, length of sleep/wake segments gone, no longer able to see previous nights' data at a glance...Google "designed" the functionality right out of their own app. Not to mention having to fight and search for directions to restore Bluetooth connectivity after every update, even though both the phone and Fitbit are Google products.

This is the last straw for me; I cancelled my subscription and my next device will be from a different company. I'm paying to see my data, not soothing colors and cartoon animals.

@Lacyse27Whoop has good sleep tracking. I used to have one but switched to FitBit because it fits my wrist better. But if the changes to sleep tracking are not rolled back soon, I'm going back to Whoop for sure, because they understand that being able to see and interact with data is what's important.

Horrible change to sleep tracker.  Fire the idiot who designed this.  Fire the manager who permitted it to published.

PLEASE CHANGE IT BACK OR LET USERS ROLL IT BACK.

The new hypnogram graph is WAY TOO BUSY. The previous graph was much easier to read Why fix something that wasn’t broken (or, if there were complaints about the previous graph, why demolish something that was only slightly wonky?)?
