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.

It only seems obvious to me that you would have user defined challenge length option.

 

Sometimes I may want to set up a challenge that includes Fri, Sat and Sun or maybe a complete seven days.

 

Don't really understand why this is not already a feature.

Have any of the suggestions made here actually been implemented? Are we just wasting time giving feedback?

Make this one happen. I want to be able to make full 7 day challenges using this feature.

100% agreed. Where my friends smoke me in daily steps, I would wreck it in daily sets of stairs. Since we all have the fitbit HR, I don't see why this can't be set up?

No kidding. Have they actually done anything?

Please update the challenges!

I'd like to see challenges other than steps. Active minutes would be cool. Calorie burn, too.

Please make an option for custom challenges!!! Some people would like a 7 day challenge. Some people do not work M-F... To solve these issues, please make a 7 day challenge.

@RodrigoFitbit can you provide an update on whether Fitbit will be building on the Challenges function with some of the great ideas users have provided? There are so many great ones and 1 or 2 would make me happy. But so far I have not seen FB do anything with ideas posted in this forum and that is disappointing.

I think it would be good to challenge others to number of steps in different fat burn zones. It seems odd for someone with an office job to go for a run at lunchtime and get into fat burn, but lose out to someone doing a gentle stroll all day!

Hi, 

 

I live in Abu Dhabi - there (and plenty of other places) the working week is not Monday - Friday. And like others have said plenty of people don't work these days!

 

I think considering you sell the fitbit in the middle east you should be appreciative of the differences there.

 

Like all the other commentors on here I think we as users should be able to set the start and finish dates of charges....

 

Thank you

I agree! I would really like to see a monthly challenge, mainly so I don't have to keep signing up for the challenges weekly. Even here, not all people work Monday - Friday. Some have a three or four day work week, with longer weekends.

No news so far @Reesey but they could be working on new ideas to improve the challenges feature for future updates.

Share your opinions in the app store while rating the app as well.

There should be a feature to make your own challenge and share with other fitbit users

Hi, please remove the limits of 10 people per challenge and 5 challenges at a time! We have a great Fitbit community at our workplace and we cannot all participate in the same challenge 😞

Need to be able to add more than just 10 people to a challenge. This is motivating a lot of people and we don't want to leave anyone out

Agreed - more capacity for challenges for work groups for instance and also custom length. Especially for charity challenges like Cancer research to walk 10,000 steps everyday in September.
