Bring back the old sleep summary page

[GMan1000]

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.

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? 

[Lizzie333]

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!

[Lizzie333]

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 ...

[JkSmiff]

Yes, I’ll definitely be going elsewhere.

[CarolynR23]

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.  

 

[golferhcw]

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

[kirmik]

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

[JkSmiff]

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.

Where did you find it, playstore only has latest version.Sent from my T-Mobile 5G Device

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.

we must support each other, Fitbit Support will not

My problem is I wouldn't be able to switch to a different device. My Fitbit and the premium account that comes with it, was provided by my insurance company. I am on a special needs plan that provides extra benefits, like the Fitbit. So if I wanted to switch to the Oura ring or another device. I would have to pay for it myself and at the moment I don't have the money for that. I am disabled, money is extremely tight, a lot of medical expenses because of my chronic illnesses that I have. The reason I have the Fitbit to begin with was to track certain health issues that I have, the main one being I have chronic insomnia and my sleep doctor likes to see my sleep logs. The Fitbit was the perfect way to do that because it showed him exactly what he needed to know. But now It does not.

The previous graphic was much easier to read. The new one is confusing with all the dotted lines. The new one does not include naps of an hour of more. The oxygen graph is missing.

Whoever got the job of redesign, a corporate blunder, did not use the previous graphic or they would have seen that simpler and clearer is better. Please, if you can't go back to the old graphic for some corporate reason, copy the old design and change the colors so it will look different but not function. differently. I looked at this graph daily. Now I skip it some days because deciphering it is too much trouble. If this is Google's fault, shame on them.

Shame on Google - ‘Do no evil’?

[SuchADiva]

My question as well!!!??? 🤷🏻‍:female_sign:🤦🏻‍:female_sign:


Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow is a mystery!
Today is a gift!
That’s why we call it the present!
Enjoy your gift of today!
Blessings!

Here is another complaint about this idiotic downgrade. Before I wanted to see how many steps I had each day. I clicked on steps and could scroll down for as far back as I wanted and see my daily number of steps for each day. Now some idiot decided it’s only one day!!! Then if I want to see each day I click on week but duhhh I can only see the days of that week. So we click on week to see days!! Oh yea that makes sense. So what happens if I click on month. I get the average steps for weeks. Like really!!!??? How does this make any sense at all. I will be sad to lose all of the history I have accumulated over the past 8 years or so but I can’t really see it in any way that makes sense so I guess I’m losing nothing moving to Garmin. Such a shame.

[Alftan]

You should complain to your insurance company. Since you can’t get the data you need anymore.

In my online dashboard community page there is the option to export data.
I don't know how it works or what format it takes. I am just running an
export (as a test) but Google says it may take hours to prepare.

Then once you have the data you may be able to transfer to your new tracker.

BTW I'm thinking of going Garmin too.

Please bring back the previous sleep timeline; the new one is very difficult to interpret!

[Advantent]

I found a fix for the sleep app out on several sites (Facebook, X ..). IT WORKS!! happy user again
