Customizable Challenges (like start date, duration etc)

I would like to be able to set which days I want for a challenge. Not all of my friends work a workweek (Mon-Fri). I would like to be able to make a challenge thats like Thurs-Sun or Mon-Wed-Fri. Or whatever days my friends work during that week. Choose teams and partners.

They have the programmers to do it, but they just won't pull their finger out

One day, another company is going to come along, make a product that does all the things we have asked Fitbit to add and then they will regret it

They think because they have a product that is better than other companies, they have nothing to worry about and don't need to do anything

What they forget is, without the customers, they are nothing

I've grown fatigued of the 3 challenge options! I know there are a large amount of people that would appreciate the ability to create your own challenge. If not can more challenges be made! Hour challenges, team challenges, stair challenges! I feel it would be a simple addition.

I agree, sadly Fitbit seem to ignore this despite 1000s of consumers asking!

30 days would be a great idea, but sadly Fitbit engineers haven't considered this thread despite so many people wanting an update to challenges. 😞

Fitbit start listening to the great ideas your consumers are giving you for FREE and maybe youre stock will start going back up! Wealth of knowledge on here available to you for free. You should have a team who works on JUST implementing feature requests from consumers on here.

Love the idea of a sleep challenge in so far as getting optimal goal of actual tracked sleep vs. recorded sleep without any tracking info via device worn while sleeping.

Customizable challenges please! Or at least something outside of a step challenge-- like floors climbed. Just to mix it up!

It would be great if you can create a challenge among more than 10 people!

I would love to be able to create my own challenges. I work out with a group of friends and I would love to set active minute challenges with them.

The Fitbit measures floors climbed and calories burned, I don't see why these cannot be challenges either, or active minutes done in a day!

I would love it if the challenges were geared toward level of steps for instance people with more than 25,000 steps a day would compete with others in there step level.

because the floors is no way near an accurate mesurement i get credited with floors in my bungalow or at work....theres on one floor at work, one day i had over 30 floors. so a challenge on that would be totally pointless this isnt fitbits fault it is the way they all measure floors

There are other metrics which other challenges would work on... Or maybe u went up and down a lot of inclines Fitbit recognised as stairs... If you mean steps is the only Fitbit measure which is accurate, then we have all been ripped off if buying the products. Stairs for me is accurate enough to give me and idea if I did a lot or not and is always much higher when working in an office building and not takin lifts versus taking lifts.

Fitbit still need to develop customisable challenges and users can create challengers they see fit....

i can spend all day in my bungalow and get stairs and there no incline there to make that happen, and it is the same at work, the other day i had 30 stairs added and i been in work 12.5shifts which has no stairs or inclinds.

Maybe your device is faulty? I don't have the same issue with charge hr.

Just a thought...

well that be all three of my devices then....One, surge and blaze oh and i use to have the charge. it is known that the floor count isnt a realible function, if youre happy with yours then that is great however, in a challenge i could wipe the floor with you without actually doing anything much

Haha - no worries, still customisable challenges, to whatever a users sees
fit as a tracker would be ideal, then both of us could compete with
whatever is relevant to us and our friends. At the least, I'm guessing you
are also feed up with/ not useful with steps only?

i would certainly like some different ones, but mainly id like to see the getting rid of the 5 challenges at the time or at least the stupid thing  that you cant join another challenge until all of sync of current ones even if they have finished.

 

i would also like to be able to name the challenges as we want, im on couple of FB groups tht set up challenges and it be nice to be able to name them as its getting confusing with which are which.

Not being able to join another challenge because you have 5 completed ones still in the sync period is daft
