Bring back the previous menstrual health tracking

The changes released this week to the menstrual health tracking are a step backwards. There is functionality missing and generally poor user experience. You can't see what cycle day you're on, can't scroll between months, I mean who's periods run in calendar months!? It's not intuitive.

As a user I cannot:
Add a period that occured in the past, even by a day
See my recorded periods over more than one calendar month
Edit the duration as intuitively as the previous version
Add notes to the period log alongside symptoms

Totally agree, this new update is not good at all. I cant see whether previous cycles were estimated or recorded, and logged symptoms don't show within the calender either. I'm now going to switch to a different app for this purpose and hope Fitbit realise it's no good and bring back the old features!

This update is total bulls*t!

Why taking away all the helpful features and making it crappy?!

We need the symptoms logging, scrolling through calender without separated months and the option to select a day and see the number of that day within the cycle back!

Otherwise I will consider to switch from Fitbit and Google Pixel as well.

Please bring back the precious version. 

Issues with the new UI 

1. Can only see calendar month. No one has a cycle that fits perfectly within a calendar month making this view useless. It need to be how it was before ie when could scroll up and down between months. 

2. Can no longer click on a day to see what day of the cycle it is. Now would need to manually count. Why remove something so useful?

3. No way of adding ovulation 

4. People are complaining in the community about lost data 

5. Dates where symptoms are logged are no longer distinguishable by a dot 

6. Cannot edit cycle by simply holding down and editing 

7. UI is substantially more poor than previous. It's not aesthetically pleasing at all 

8. The UX is dreadful. You have taken what was a very easy to navigate period tracker and made it cumbersome and clunky. It's extremely hard to navigate now 

Women in the community are asking if any women were involved in this redesign.... We think not! Not a good look for Fitbit.

Please heed the call and bring back the earlier version. Please don't say you can't roll back (which one women got back as an email response which is shocking) as I work in software and know it's 100% possible.

I agree with all of you. I've been using this app for 7 years!!! I would love to revert to the older version. This new update is a downgrade and trashy. It makes things harder and it's not pleasing on the eyes. It's hard to tell which days are what with the new color style and for me I can't edit like by holding and adjusting anymore. So many extra steps now. The biggest issue is that the calendar is not scrollable anymore. You can't even see the whole cycle. Absolutely ridiculous! Who created this new update?! Were no females present? It seems that eveything became more difficult. Not user friendly at all. I hope they take note and change it back or else they might start losing customers 😞

Please revert to the older version it worked perfectly fine. This new version has taken so many useful features away. 

1. Cannot scroll between months

2. Cannot add ovulation date after self testing(not everyone has ovulation mid cycle)

3. Extremely irritating to add cycle and Cannot edit previous

4. Cannot see what day of cycle it is, cannot interact with the calender at all

5. Dates where symptoms are logged are no longer distinguishable by a dot 

6. Overall looks awful

I am so disappointed with this update, so many features taken away that were very useful. I don't understand how anyone thought this version was a good idea. My menstrual health is just as important as my physical health, there seems to be no thought or respect for that with this new version.
