Let web users and windows users accept challenges. Right now when I get a challenge I have no way to accept it. This affects all of your users as my friends who challenge me are also frustrated.
I agree! I would like to be able to use this feature!

I agree. That and make the link for challenges in the email actually accept the challenge instead of just linking to the app download page. Why send me an email with a link that says "join the challenge" and then doesn't do anything?
I agree completely. The app has a bug right now that doesn't allow me to view the challenges anymore. Being able to view my challenges on the web dashboard would resolve my problem until the bug issue gets fixed.
Please roll out the challenge feature to PC users to allow them to participate in challenges for motivation. Many of the older generation do not use smart phones and therefore cannot participate in the challenges.
Amen to that!! I am really frustrated that I have to keep checking my cellphone to see how I am doing on the challege when I am on the computer all day. Thanks for adding this feature to your website.
I have to second that motion. I use the desktop version far more often than the version on my phone. The email comes to my computer, but when I click on the link to accept the challenge, it just takes me to a link to download the app (which I already have). The link should take you to a screen on the desktop with your challenges and give you the opportunity to see more about the challenge and accept it. Challenges should NOT be only on the phone.
This feature is really platform agnostic and it doesn't make sense that it's only allowed to be tied to a cell phone at the moment. Hope they come out with it on the website soon.
I agree. I was so excited to get a fitbit and compete in challenges with my family only to find out that I can't because I don't have a smartphone. What sense does that make?
As someone with a smart but not smart enough phone to sync with I just don't use the app but so many people got new fitbits for Christmas that there are challenges every week now but while I leave a tab open to the dashboard and check it throughout the day I can't see any of the challenge stuff going on without getting out the phone and dealing with the app that is slow to load and work with.
I do have a smart phone, but the challenges don't show up there. I downloaded the app today, to no avail.
As I monitor my activities on the desktop computer anyway, it would be so much better to have access to challenges on there and to be able to accept them.
I love my fitbit, and use the challenges regularly.
I was wondering if we could get the same features from the mobile app added to the website.
For example- if you sit at a desk all day, and don't want to use your phone / data plan to check the progress of your challengee's. It would be very nice to use the website and check on that.
I am in complete agreement with this suggestion. I just got a Fitbit and attempted to join my first challenge, only to have the "Accept" button take me to an app download page on my desktop. I already have the app on my phone and desktop, but use it more on my desktop. I tried several times to accept the challange from my desktop, to no avail. Then, for some reason, I decided to try it on my phone, and it worked. However, now I can only follow the challenge progress on my phone. Why can't I follow the challenge on my desktop too? I just don't get the sense of that. Please change this!
The challenges need to be on the web and cross functional for Misfit users (which I own). I'm in doing the Fitbit challenge with my friends at work and manually entering in my steps on the website but can't access the Challenges. Put them on the web too!
