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.

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?)?

100% agree. It's terrible. Job security for developers? Come on, people--leave well enough alone.

exactly. completely unreadable and only shows the longest sleep session with apparently no way to see the length of a nap (or a session after waking up in the night)

I am also hoping that Fitbit will go back to the old format for sleep data. New format is horrible and definitely NOT an improvement.

Please restore the previous sleep tracker settings. The new version is so much harder to hard to read. Did you road test the new settings with real Fitbit users? It’s hard to imagine anyone who checks their sleep quality every morning like I do thinking this app update is better. Pls bring back the old version!

Oh so glad everyone else hates it, I loved the sleep tracker, so much so I cancelled premium to get the old view back as the premium version was awful. Now it is completely unusable. Everything is changed - and not for the better - and I am hating using the app nowadays, relying on my watch instead. So now I can’t even track my sleep over time effectively - Fitbit stop messing around with it - it was fine and worked

This new version is atrocious!!

Totally agree 

I am getting two different analysis formats which seems to be dependent on the restless proportion.

Readability has disappeared on the phone.

Editing or deleting has been so much more complex

Do they ever ask users to participate in design?  Obviously not.

10 years of Fitbit and think it will be Apple Watch before long - Google is not helping

I’ve been using my Fitbit for years, primarily to track my sleep as I really struggle… this change to the display graphics etc is simply awful. Illegible and poorly considered. In fact, none of the recent changes have been for the better… 

Fitbit, please go back to when your platform worked at its best. 
I have stayed with Fitbit because I liked how easy it was to read… but it’s looking like Apple could well win me over when I decide to upgrade.

This update is terrible.

I mainly use my Fitbit for sleep tracking and this new interface is not useable. The graphs are nonsensical and there's no easy way to compare data over time. I love my Fitbit Luxe but if the app is unusable it's just a watch. This is a huge setback and opens the door for me to start investigating different health tracker options going forward.

I totally agree!!! 
it‘s annoying that they changed from a nice, colorful, lovely app to an app, that makes no joy to watch the results 😠

Agreed, all app two tone graphics is horrible to use, view and decipher. Totally rubbish.  All since Google bought them out. Please return app with multi coloured info graphics.

The last two updates significantly decreased usability and user-friendliness of the app. I was considering getting Premium, but after the last update I will spend my money on another device instead, with better app and access to my data.

I canceled my premium subscription a while ago and am going to try to get a prorated refund so I don’t have to look at this ugly interface anymore. I’m assuming Google’s intent is to drive away users so that they have an excuse to fire most of their Fitbit employees to save money. A garbage product that is intentionally useless, approved by garbage execs who are intentionally useless.

The app is obviously very ugly and less informative with the redesign. Was this done on purpose so that Google can dump Fitbit? Will the product line not exist a year from now?

I made the mistake to update the iOS Fitbit app today.

As part of my routine I daily check my sleep details and update the sleep start and end times manually to generate more accurate data. Here are things that reduced usability for me specifically on the 'Sleep' section:

• If I move my finger along the sleep timeline to find the last and first awake time, my finger must be exactly on the 'Awake' line as otherwise the horizontal bar gets stuck on any of the other sleep phase data.  

• Selecting the 'Edit Sleep' button that can be found by clicking on the 3 dot menu feels like Russian Roulette. The menu selection is small and the chance of accidentally selecting another option, such as 'Delete Sleep', is high.

Updating the times takes two more steps as a new 'Sleep Sessions' page has been introduced that requires to select my sleep session before I can edit it. Saving now also has one more step to get back out of the 'Sleep Sessions' page again.

• When selecting a part of the sleep timeline, for example 'Light', the font size of the time duration underneath is too small. Shouldn't the information that a user specific looks into, be presented in a more visible way?

• The 3 buttons labelled 'Sleep stages', 'Benchmark', '30 day average' are designed so wide that they don't fit the page and requires horizontal scrolling on my iPhone 15. If the 'Sleep stages' button is renamed to just 'Stages' (as the page itself is already the 'Sleep' page) you could avoid an unnecessary scrolling element. 

Please keep on making more such changes and providing me more reasons to switch to an alternative!

Omg. The new sleep update could not be worse. It’s like they replaced it with an app for children. Why make something less sophisticated and less useful? I will be abandoning Fitbit if they don’t allow users to revert to the old design. Shame on you Google. (Also how did you manage to do such a terrible job? I mean it’s really shocking given how much money and how many staff you have!)

I totally agree !! This new graph is not easy to read.  I hope this feature returns to the original version, it was so user friendly.  Please 🙏🏻 go back to the old version.  Thank you

I agree.  Worst update yet.  I have liked the Fitbit and recommended it to many people.  Will not that any longer .  .  .  Will be looking at alternatives.

Premium offers very little of value to me (nearly 67)..

Lots of training programs and the like aimed at the youngsters.

I want better stats around heart performance without having to got to the
PC.

Sleep has always frustrated me - if I go to bed at 9:30, get up at 11:30 to
get a glass of water or go to the bathroom, the app starts sleep again
after 11:30.

I edit every day and often have to delete the earlier little sleep.

They have made editing and deleting worse, too.
