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.

We so should be able cutomize and create our own challenges - Ex. Person who does most floors in a day.  First to hit 100 Floors or X amount of distance or person to have the most active minutes in a week or day etc.  We an use the existing metrics and simply tap tap and customize.

Disappointing we can only be in 5 challenges. Fitbit promotes the communities and we make friends across the world but then have to limit the invites we can accept. This is so dispapointing. Please increase.

Ok enough is enough

 

Yes im shouting coz maybe you will hear us

 

Ive just had to turn down [well not really turn down as you wont let me join] another challenge ....daily challenge for today.....coz im already in five [5] however, 2 of these do not start until the week end, so actually today Im only in three [3] 

 

This is ridiculous please please sort it. Its bad enough we can only join 5 challenges but to make it tht challenges tht havent even started are included in that number is bad service and i expect more for the price i have paid.

I get so annoyed about the 5 challenge limit. You are trying to build a Fitbit community and then you just don't help us with this really simple limitation. Why is there so much discussion needed?? It seems such an easy think to change. It's the only thing I HATE about Fitbit. Please help us!

Why is the max 10? Can you increase to 15 or 20?

I think that it would an awesome idea to have more challenges. I believe that challenges based on your calories burned would be awesome!

We need the ability to have more than 10 people per challenge, and also to participate in more than 5 challenges at the same time!

Hello,

 

I searched, and there were some similar topics but I couldn't find something exactly relating to my request.

 

I would like the option to choose the deadline for when challenge steps must be synced. I believe right now, everyone has a 12 hour window to finish syncing their steps after the challenge has ended. I would like the option to force participants to sync all of their steps by the closing time of the challenge.

 

Challenges are more fun when people actively sync their Fitbits throughout the challenge period, and we can more fairly play along with each other. It seems unfair when someone "swoops in" at the end and logs thousands of steps after the challenge has formally come to a close.

 

Thank you.

I don't know what exactly, but I'd really like more challenges. I've only had my Fitbit a couple of weeks but have nearly completed all of the challenges.

I love having it and it's keeping me active which is brilliant, but I want to keep it fresh with more challenges to keep me on the move.

Any chance of more please?

It would be great to create custom challenges for groups. There would be more ways to challenge each other & more options than just steps for those that might be limited.

I think this is a fantastic idea. As mentioned above, not everybodys goal is how many steps they can do.

Other Ideas of Examples:


-Distance Travelled (Km or mile) 
- Floors (elevation)

My Main Goal focus is distance travelled, although i will say i only do approx 15-20Km per day at the moment as i am just getting back into my fitness after 8 Lazy months. It would be good to have some motivational challenges that i can compete against friends

Fitbit,

I have so many very competitive friends therefore they all want to compete in weekly hustle challenges. Please make accommodations for me to join more than 5 challenges at a time. And please have the completed challenges removed from me feed. Thanks!

I have been asking for two years now to be able to join more than five challenges at a time. We also need to be able to add more than 10 people. Also let us decide if other people can add others to our challenges. 

This would be very helpful. PLEASE consider these soon.

Add a feature where participants can set their own goals within a group or challenge. 

Everyone isn't at the same fitness level, therefore if they have the option to set their own SMART goals they can feel accomplished when they reach their specific goals.  This allows each participant to have a fair shot at winning the challenge.

I would love to see the sync time in challenge go from 12 hours to 8-9 hours. Since we can't join more than five challenges at a time I miss some of the new challenges. Would love to see us be able to have more than five challenges and more than 10 in them.

Please add a 7 day challenge, some people in my group are more active during the week and some are more active on the weekend.

Just having step challenges can actually be counter productive. As an overly competitive person the last challenge had me forgoing my regular workout to spend the time trying to get more steps. Perhaps challenges for time spent at peak heart rate, calories burned, workout frequency etc.

But the challenge I've suggested is only 1 hour of the day... It's the power hour... Just an hour of powering through...

My wife and I are both fitbitters and we love to compete during the workweek hustle, but we'd love to compete against other fitbit couples as well (and maybe families).  Can you create a couples challenge?

Thank you!!!

Great idea to be able to customise challenges such as calories/floors/water. 

Doing steps is not all the fitbit does, lets make the most of its features.

I would like to be able to create my own challenges through the app. Maybe start basic such as 1st one to reach 10,000 steps in a day wins a trophy...that type of customization...figuring the syncing would have to be set on all day sync for stuff like that but I'm fine with it!

Can you please remove or raise the limit for people allowed in a challenge? Ten is not enough. We don't want to have numerous challenges going on at one time just so everyone can be included.
Thank you for your consideration!

I would like to see a challenge for Monday- Sunday (all 7 days). Or to be able to customize your dates (actually using a calendar) let's say you go on vacation with family/friends, it would be great to have this option of specific dates
