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.

Daily Challenges based on calorie count should be there. People do rigorous excercise and burn lot of calorie but if they down walk then step counts are low. Please add more challenges based on calorie or active minutes

Please add new challenges or customizable challenges.

 

The current 4 are getting stale and I'm surprised there is no 7 day or monthly challenge at all?? 

 

Fitbit need to continually update their software to keep up motivation and people using the fitbit.

I would like all the current challenges to be both, steps and percentage of goal... if there is only steps, day your group has the majority at a 10,000 per day step goal, but one member is 8,000 and another is 15,000...the 8k always loses and the 15k always wins...not much fun or a challenge

I would like to do a bunch of challenges not just 5. I have a lot of friends that are trying to get me fit.😃

I would love to be able to change the challenges to Mileage based instead of Steps. Since most of my friends and I jog/run. We get less steps but more miles than those that walk.

Id like to see challenges that include a couple of options that you can choice from. Say you can pick your own 4 and then if you get all green lines you get a badge. And can be against another person/s

My sister inlaw and I screen shot our main goals, my is calories burned, steps, active minutes and kms.Hers are water, active minutes, calories burned, miles and steps...It keeps us accountable for our day, but we encourage each other in healthy way instead of trying beat each other.

I so hope customising challenges happens! I have never managed to achieve over 100,000 steps in a week, I'm not a runner, I really want to challenge friends that I know haven't met that mark to reach 100,000 with me. X

Unsubscribing. The moderated liked the idea about increasing the number of people in a challenge, and the number of challenges as well. This was over a year ago, it's essentially dead now.

I am going to unscribe to the thread now.  Clearly nothing is going to come out of it regardless of the number of us asking to customize challenges.  I am going to look for alterntives.

Team,

As a phase 1, can you prioritise to increase number of challenges at the same time and number of users per challenge?

More than 10 per challenge.
More than 5 challenges.
On that note, at the very least, do not count challenges that have not begun or challenges that have ended, but you have to wait forever and a day for someone to sync.
That one is real annoying.

I would love to have a floors climbed challenge available. I always get my butt kicked in the step challenges, but I climb a lot of stairs! I would love to be able to have it be a weekly challenge, like the workweek hustle, but with stairs instead.

Definitely agree more variety of challenges based on things already measured in app. Water drinking, calories burned, how many sets of stairs, or custom number of steps in a day, or not just a 2 or 5 day challenge but a full 7 day week. Would love to have ability to create my own challenges nased on something alrewdy measured and my own defined time frame or number/goal to reach. Im obsessed with fitbit but how many times can u do the work week hustle???

I agree completely that their should be more options and variety to the challenges. Me and some colleagues have regularly used the Workweek Hustle, but as previously said How many times can you do this without it becoming samey. Also demotivating for people who never come near winning on steps.

I totally agree ! I am getting frustrated and bored at the same time . I foresee some promising updates in the near future !

I was thinking the same thing. New challenges are definitely needed. I was thinking of a flight challenge. Calling it the Daily/Weekly/Monthly Flight Challenge were you can challenge a group or individuals to see how many flights of stairs they can get in those time frames. Taking it even farther, link it to the GPS feature so that competitors (if they're in an environment that has public garages) can hit the stairs while on their route.

It's about time that Fitbit updated that you can be in morethan 5 challenges at a time!!! with most of us having lots of friends to follow! We can't challenge all of them in one week!

Is there any plan to have challenges other than steps? Maybe calorie burning challenges or activity challenges?

Please drop the 10 person limit on a challenge!!!! I have several friends at my workplace who have bought fitbits to get in on our challenges, but now we have more than 10. PLEASE CONSIDER!!

I'd like water challenges and activity challenges or custom challenges that we can put in our own title and just use free text to comment

I wish there was an option to design my own challenges. One challenge I would like to have is to meet your daily goal for a week. That is more realistic for many of us instead of a challenge to see who can do the most steps. If my weekly goal is 42000 steps a week and I have friends that do 60000 plus, then I am immediately discouraged if I get challenged to a head to head step challenge.

Please adjust the challenge limit! When users do not sync their Fitbits after a challenge ends it prevents me from starting other challenges! For example, work week hustle ends on Fridays and some people do not sync until Sunday and I can't participate in weekend warrior challenges bc WWH is still considered as "open" or whatever. Thanks!!!

Another fun suggestion would be to do team/partner challenges. It would be fun to compete against other couples.
