Please bring the Relax app to the charge 5. The charge 5 has the perfect size screen I'm looking for but I'm so disappointed to hear that the Relax app isn't offered.
This ain’t gonna change… obviously. This request isn’t being considered. Time to look elsewhere. Feels like Fitbit/Google just does not care about customer requests. At all.
I think it's quite ridiculous that a simple relaxation app is not available for the Charge 5. If I had known this was not a feature I absolutely would have stuck with my Charge 3. I really don't see how this still has not been implemented.

I would really like to see this feature added, and don’t actually understand why it isn’t available since it’s listed as such for the Charge 5 on the website
Fitbit charge 4 broke, got the charge 5. Shocked to find it lacks basic functionality I've enjoyed since the charge 2. This may well be the last fitbit product I buy. I wanted to stay in the ecosystem, but it doesn't seem worth it in the future when this charge inevitably breaks.
Please bring the “Relax” app to the new Charge 5! I have debilitating anxiety and this app is essential to help manage it. I’ve needed to carry around my Charge 2 with my Charge 5 just to use this app, especially when the anxiety gets really strong. It has tremendously helped to reduce and sometimes even eliminate anxiety within the 2-minute or 5-minute timeframes! (I’ve been using the Fitbit Charge devices since 2019 and have loved them!) Please listen to your customers and make this available on the Charge 5! Thanks!

Your feedback is appreciated and you can learn more about how Fitbit decides what suggestions get released in our FAQs.
I recently got the Charge 5 after having the Luxe for a short time. I loved the luxe and would likely keep it going but basically got the Charge 5 for free with Google credits. But I am sad to see that the relax app isn't available for this device. I usesle the app regularly and already miss it. Please bring it over to the Charge 5.
It’s so frustrating to see that after more than a year, we still don’t have the relax app back on the Charge 5. I went from 2 to 5 because the 5 could be used while swimming. Had I known I wouldn’t have the relax app, I would’ve bought something else entirely. It was the one app I used regularly and one I keep going back to check whether it’s been added back…and only being frustrated that it’s not
When is the Relax app going to be available for the Charge 5? How can it take so long, it’s pathetic. Fitbit clearly doesn’t care about want the customer wants. Who cares about the weather we need the breathing exercises
Be aware my fitbit charge 5 went **ahem**ed after its first swim, I live in Colombia and bought through Amazon, they gave me a refund, because sending the defective one to the US would cost almost as the watch. It works as a sensor but doesn't have a display now.
Got my first fitbit (Charge 5) ever. Disapointed the relax app is not made available for it... I was hoping to exercise mindfulness with it. Apart from that, pretty good experience so far. Please consider adding this feature.
I’ve had every model of Charge ever, and Charge 5 is the biggest dissappointment so far - apart from the flashy looks, it actually offers much less than previous models. I loved the Spotify app, but I can grumpily live without it. Ditching stairs climbed, one of the main metrics in the history of Fitbit? That’s just ridiculous! Promising ECG feature only to see it removed from my region? I got really mad about this one! And the biggest frustration of all - no Relax app, one of the most loved and used fetures of the Charge models that I actively used before sleep, during stressful meetings and in numerous other occasions… I’m seriously considering going back to my old Charge 4 just for this. It’s unacceptable to remove key features! EDA scan is no replacement for the Relax app because it dosen’t guide your breathing at all! They should be integrated to work together, as they can be compatible, but EDA is pretty useless without a guided meditation app, and if I need to turn on my phine to do so, i don’t see the pont of having a Fitbit anymore.
