Customizable Challenges (like start date, duration etc)

[Cheddarbill]

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.

Moderator edit: labels.

Definitely, I am also using matchup.io, it allows for greater flexibility 🙂

YES! It's disappointing when a large group of us wants to challenge each other and can only get a small portion into the challenge.

The challenges for Fitbit users are sooo shocking it's almost as if they really haven't put much thought into them. How about community challenges, "do 500miles as a group?", Group vs group challenges?, floor challenges? There's so much more that can be done with challenges.

[Bountifulone]

This is exactly what I was looking for...challenges based on the food plan, calories burned, active minutes etc.  All this in addition to the steps.  I too am very competitive and my family can really challenge me and that is motivational for ME!  I'd like to see something based on sticking to the Food Plan goal daily.  Another for water intake would be good too because I know I'm not getting enough on a daily basis.  I think these would be good tweeks for the challenges.  Go FitBit team!  You can do it!  Help me be a better me...THANKS!

Please expand the challenges number participants from 10 to at least 25 if not unlimited. Hopefully this enhancement can be made soon.

Currently challenges are hard capped at 10 users in a challenge. Having over 10 people in my family alone that has a Fitbit, this makes it impossible to have everyone in the same challenge and its no fun to split up the family. Since Fitbit servers are the likely choke point here, it might be time to update the hardware.

I have a similar suggestion. Sometimes I will add random challenges during the typical step challenge. I would like to add different challenges such as x # of squats a day challenges or water intake challenges.  Not sure how you could do this though.

First off, I was not able to start a New Idea in the Challenges thread because there isn't a New Idea button.  Is this New Idea button only in the Help Forums area not in the threads themselves?

I would like to be able to join more challenges, not necessarily join more but maybe the settings updated. I was in five challenges over the weekend so when my friend put up a Workweek Challenge I couldn't join, even though it didn't start until Monday.  Then when the Weekend Warrior challenges ended I still couldn't join because even though they were over, they weren't closed, which I completely understand to give people time to sync, but now I can't see where I actually ended up in the ranking because I had to leave the challenge.  Now I can't join his challenge because it is full.  It was just coincidental that I was invited to four weekend challenges and I had already joined one workweek challenge.  But now I have to watch how many I join so I am able to join Workweek challenges.

...and every other adorable creature, please expand the five challenges at a time rule. Make it ten, or fifteen, or infinite. Just a number that is greater than five; the more the merrier. It's lame to decline challenge offers, because of this cap. 😕

Pretty please?

[Kcroce]

I would like mobilerun steps to sync with your challenges.

[hmcfeather]

I love the community aspect of this device and would like more challenges that involve active minutes and running. Step challenges are fun but for people like me who do more intense training with friends, it would be nice to have challenges for active minutes.

[SunsetRunner]

I agree: great idea! can think of other fun challenges as well. Hope it'll be able soon. 😄

[Kimborules]

All great suggestions, I vote for them all...especially having more than 10 people in a challenge. 

[Rhino23]

More than 10 participants per challenge would be great!  it stinks leaving people out or creating multiple of the same challenge to get everyone in.  Enjoy the Fitbit so far.  Keep the development and good work up!

[Thalnerd]

I love the challenges with my friends. I'd really like to see more options...specifically the "goal" challenge but for a week ..so every day you need to meet your step goal. (I like that one because friends at all levels can be winners!).

I'd also like a "logged food" each day for a week challenge. Either look to see if food is there for b,l,d or maybe have a generic challenge where friends have to go in and Mark "did it" at the end of the day.

Thanks for listening to ideas!

[sarahtm2ts]

I'd LOVE custom challenges! And more than 10, though I have one group of friends whom we all do the challenges together, in a little group. I'd LOVE to see the ability to "redo" a challenge, meaning the same people involved get invited automatically, in the same timezone, no mater who actually starts it.

Like Person A starts the challenge and invites B, C, D, E, F, and G. Challenge goes for the length, and ends. Then anyone can choose "restart challenge" and it'll start the next week/day, depending on the challenge, and still run in Person A's timezone to keep consistency.

[squigglethecow]

Yes!!!

[WanFig]

Love the suggestions.

[SunsetRunner]

The Android App only shows 7 Day Steps for friends. I would like to compete with other Charge HR users for numbers of floors as well.

Likewise, the challenges on the Android app only include steps. Can we add challenges for Floors as well?

[Bauer24]

thought id bump this up, cos ive really stopped doing the challenges. Goal Day is the most pointless one!!! im on holiday today so dropped my step goal down. so for that reason im winning the challenge by a landslide!!!

[Bauer24]

defo need a more variety of challenges. and they need to get rid of goal day challenge-pointless

[MichaelT912]

I agree. I cycle much more than I run and activity challenges or calories burned as a percentage of body weight would be ideal. 

[SunsetRunner]

I agree with the challenges, I have seen them maxed out at 10 people with no ability to add more. This shouldn't be that difficult to do.

[AussieCraig]

I agree, I think Fitbit need to lift their game!!! There are other superior
apps out there. Have you tried matchup.io ? heaps more challenges, 150
people per challenge, unlimited number of challenges you can be in.
