Bring the Relax app to Charge 5

[mookielady]

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.

I preferred the charge 5. the inspire is nice but less features and because of its size difficult to see in certain circumstances.

I have had charge 2, 3 and 4 and loved my 4 the most. My band broke the whole side of the fitbit off and there was no fixing it. It will still work today if I charge it, but I have no way of wearing it. 😭 I really HATE the charge 5. No relax or weather app, no side button, I do wish I could fix my 4. I would return this 5 in a heartbeat. Please upgrade this downgrade and add relax💆🏽‍♀ and weather👞. Not much you can do about taking away the side button. Touchscreen sucks.👎🏼

Thanks Missie 711, I noticed that all the what I call professional reviewers gave charge 5 good reviews. But consumers not so much. Many unhappy customers.  So I will be passing on the charge 5. I appreciate your input.

Charge 4 is available on amazon for 100$

I haven't checked into that but I will to see what features it has. Thanks

Oh, how is this feature not on the charge 5 in the first place? You have so many features for heart rate and stress management and such a small yet mighty feature like "Relax" is missed? Pls pls bring it to charge 5.

[davcafe]

I had read on their website that they discontinued that feature.  For me the breathing feature is what sold me. Its still on the inspire 3 but I was looking for the bigger charge 5. 

[Voodoochildaro]

@davcafe seriously?? 

are they going to discontinue the relax app?!

jeez I hope this is not gonna happen!

I loved stairs but it's ok...but no please, the relax app is (IMO) the most useful thing you can have on your wrist.

I mean, it's fine all the ECG stuff bla bla bla but I don't see why removing a feature that can still be useful.

Especially in a moment when most people is learning how breathing properly can improve health and reduce stress.

It's simple, useful, and every time I used it my heart beat went sensibly down.

Even more weird... the relax app is on the Inspire 3 but not on the charge 5... I really can't get it.

It should be a basic feature ALWAYS available, on every single device.

The ECG stuff is extra more, no reason to remove the basics. Can't really understand it.

I’ve gotten accustomed to using relax mode more often than just daily! Updated from Chg 4 and lost apps, sounds like shrinfflation!! I feel cheated!

[mpyusko]

I lost a parent recently, and as I was balled up in a corner, hyperventilating, trying to focus and calm my nerves, I truly wished I had the relax app to help me out.

I have given up on Fitbit adding this feature to the Charge 5.  I have gone back to the Charge 4.

[davcafe]

I saw the Inspire 3 on an early black Friday sale. It had all the features I wanted it was a great price and I will see if the premium is worth it through the trial period. It had great reviews and the few negatives they thought  its to small to read. I have contacts and need readers but I found it was not that hard to read its really comfortable you hardly know its on. I like it so far. It only been a day but I found a good tutorial video that was a big help..

I just got my fitbit charge 5 snd the firtst thing i did was to look at apps. I tried to install the relax app. It needs to be on my wrist. It’s an important part of self care.

[seggleston]

I just purchased the Charge 5 on a "Black Friday" sale and, now, I am finding out the Relax app isn't compatible with it and that is one of the most used apps for me.  I would use it daily at work.  It's available through the Fitbit app to install, yet, it says not available when you click on it?  That is very misleading.  I hate to do it, but I will be returning this Fitbit.  I have been with Fitbit for years.  Very disappointing!

[Quadruplex]

Why was this even removed? 

[mxlue]

Budget cuts, possibly

When I swipe on my excersice mode on my inspire 3 nothing happens.  It just goes back to the clock. Any suggestions ?

[SunsetRunner]

Totally Agree! Bring the weather and relax app to the Charge 5, Very useful. I would remove the headspace app if I could achieve the breath guide on the Charge 5.

[MaxFitness]

Please add the relax app to the charge 5!

[Kaevo]

After all these comments, it's truly bizarre they still haven't added the relax app on charge 5. I'm still waiting and really hope they add it soon.

[mxlue]

….And then they completely ignore it in the update

The relax app should be a readily available option on the charge 5

Please bring back the relax app to the Charge 5. Having previously used it on my Charge 2, can’t understand why this simple but useful app isn’t available.

[GameCarpenter]

The relax app was the selling point that interested me in purchasing this product in the first place. I'm the sort of person who would benefit greatly from such an app on a daily (or hourly) basis.
