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.

Every update you do, the display on the app gets worse. My eyesight is relatively good and I struggle to read all the pages that have been altered to those insipid colours that all blend into each other. They don’t feel accessible to partially sighted people so we at least need a setting to allow us to put it back to the old look.

First of all it is not easy to read. The old format provided a much clearer picture and detailed information. 

I may cancel my premium membership if it doesn’t go back to the old format. The new format is not worth the cost. 

and assigning a sleeping style to an animal is childish. I feel like it is addressing a 5 year old.   Really?  

do better Fitbit.

I agree!  What were they thinking?  I went looking for comments about this change.  First time!  May cancel premium if something isn’t done soon.  An explanation of what they were trying to do would be nice.  Has anyone seen anything!

Agree. I'll admit I'm always annoyed when things are "updated" for no reason. It's a pain to have to adapt to changes. But the new sleep graphics are NOT just that. They're actively bad, being virtually impossible to read adequately, while the previous version was easily scannable at a glance.

Plus it now takes longer/more cumbersome to edit sleep -- which I find myself having to do more often than not, by the way (why is that? sometimes my fitbit's first sleep reading "cheats" my out of like an hour of sleep! but that's another subject...)

In any case, this really terrible, inexplicable "update" might be the last straw for me. If I hadn't just bought my latest fitbit a month ago I'd already be shopping for an Apple watch or something else. Sigh.

I have been a FitBit user for years and use it primarily for tracking my sleep and steps. I hate the latest update for sleep tracking and find it almost unusable. I am considering canceling my Premium subscription. Please bring back the old display version.

Completely agree.  So much harder to read. More clicks to find information. I still haven't found the percentages for each part of the score. I use my device and app to track my recovery from workouts. The more you change thus app the more useless it becomes to me.  I'm now starting to shop around for a new device and it's not going to be a Fitbit. This look is new but far inferior to what you had.

I agree. Please bring back the old graph or at least give us the option to choose it. The new graph is clunky and busy. The old color graph was much easier to read. Sometimes simple is best!!! Also, prefer not to have to click on so many buttons to see the data. Keep it simple and keep it on one or two pages.

The new layout is terrible it’s even hard to drag your finger along to see how long you were in a certain cycle for! It just gives time which means I have to mentally calculate how long I was awake for in that given period change it back! And while you’re at it bring back the family challenges! I’m a lot less productive now I’m not trying to beat my family at a weekend warrior!

I much preferred the old style.   The new one is ugly and hard to read.   

I’m sorry team,

I am not a fan of the new sleep knockoff from Apple look you have switched to or the way the visuals are not functioning and trying to compare historical, and the inability to turn sideways not working to see a better view…

I was given an Apple Watch to test it out and have been wearing both Fitbit and the Apple Watch. Your Marketing for keeping me was the ability to view the deep details of my daily and nightly routine in a consistent manner and pull my data from the website in a simple and easy way. if I want to track my health or make better decisions. With this change it feels your moving into a less is more business model and that is not want was keeping me with the Fitbit product.

The battery life and the data and the simple and easy view and to expand it horizontally made it easy understand, plus the ability to get more information off the we through my browser and download my historical. But if you’re going to mimic the Apple Watch and its format then I might as well just commit to the Apple Watch and drop the Fitbit. I’m not sure of your mission or your vision for the future of the Fitbit product, changes like these are making it simple that I may need to look at other products that will keep consumers needs or research up front, but if your research is showing that details are not needed to stay accountable so the consumer can have all the information then sure… but I will give this a whirl for a couple of months, but  it’s pushing me to just where the Apple Watch full time now if this is the direction you plan to continue to go down this way…

I totally agree, if it's not changed back I'll likely cancel my membership. The new design is far worse.

This is abour respecting your users.  Why are you forcing change on your users?   We do not have time to figure out what you did.  Users should be in control of when they want to implement change and have the option to choose their desired interface.  This, and the previous change in colors, are both unwelcome.   I agree the older format had more information.

I must say that making a perfectly good product that was meeting customers’ needs suddenly and entirely terrible is a mystifying business decision. What are we going for with these new updates, Fitbit? Do y’all not like making money? I will not be recommending Fitbit to others and do not plan to buy another in the future unless this is fixed.

Like everyone else who bothered to comment here, I agree that the new Sleep Stages chart is TERRIBLE. I have used my FitBit watch to monitor my sleep for years and loved the ease and the detail clarity of the old Sleep Timeline. This new one stinks! And I can't enlarge it when the phone rotates. You've taken away the only reason I use the FitBit:  Sleep monitoring.

Give us a CHOICE!  Allow us to choose using the Old (GOOD) chart or the new one.

The new ChatGPT designed sleep graphic is not a winner. It is not beautiful. It has no charm, no redeeming features, not artful in any way.

The person who gave the thumbs up to this bone of contention probably wasn’t born when the Google home page first appeared. In a time cluttered with search engines fighting for supremacy, Google blew them away with its stunning simplicity. Perhaps Google has lost, or is losing its way.

But I wonder, are there any users writing on this forum who love it, think it is an improvement and look forward to more of the same?

The only reason I have used my FitBit for years is the sleep monitoring. The old Sleep Timeline was easy to use and informative. The new design STINKS. Hard to read and overly complicated. We are not rocket scientists and don't need this new design!  You should at least allow a CHOICE so we can go back to the old version if we choose to.  This change was a BAD IDEA and I hope someone at FitBit reviews these comments.

I agree with _all_ the disgruntled comments about the new sleep report format - especially the difficulty of making individual/general comparisons. Please restore previous format.

The recent change to the sleep graphic on the app is appalling. It’s now difficult to read and understand.
If it doesn’t change back I will bin my premium account and look for an alternative fitness monitor.

Reverting back to a preferred functionality is never a bad idea.
Remember, the customer is always right.

The new sleep format is frustrating and disappointing to say the least. Bring back the one that more useful and much better than this one...
