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.

"More Than 10 Per Challenge
More Than 5 Challenges Per Person"

These are the two important ones for me.  I have many fitbit friends, I'm very often in five full challenges during the week and that means I can't join any weekend challenges until the weekday ones have completely finished.  Generally I miss some weekend challenges because they're already full by the time I can join them.

I'd love to see a week long, basically 7 days.

It could go from Monday to Sunday for example. We have a weekend one, a workweek one, goal day and daily showdown.

Maybe call it something along the lines of Weekly Hustle or something like that

I 1000% agree with this comment. the step count is good, but not always an acurate representation of challenging myself. There are so many data points that are tracked, but only one way to inspire competition.

Challenge Ideas:

• meeting sleep goal
• stair climb goal
• activity minutes goal
• most activity minutes
• most calories burned
• first to meet calories burned

Hi all. MY CHALLENGE IDEAS - - -

I realize this topic has been going for a long time now, I did read some but not all the comments so please forgive me if this has been brought up before.
EVERY category should have at least 1 challenge...

Some examples could be:
most distance travelled
a step climber challenge
best rested challenge for sleeping 😛 Most active in a day
calorie burner

EVERY category needs at LEAST 1 challenge

Make it possible to edit the challenge days of week. Not everyone works or works out Monday through Friday. My friends and I would like to run a challenge Tuesday through Saturday. Thanks

I'm just waiting for Fitbit to I bail all kinds of new technology, and the new frackers, hopefully just in time for summer!!

[Jamie00783]

Please make a customisable challenge. this would include the user being able to decide when the challenge starts and ends. WITHOUT being given default time restrictions.

[DRGW]

Is there a way we can create our own challenges?

[Fenice]

Would really appreciate more than 10 people as a cap. 10 is way too few.

[JeffA]

I like the 1 day goal challenge but would like the goal based on the 7 day average. Any other takers for this idea?

[Carly0880]

Please increase the number of challenges you can participate in. I don't think there should be a limit and increase the maximum people that can take part too.

[beltray]

I would like more challenges along the lines of the Goal day where people have their own set goals but for the week or weekend.

It's very sad that you can't be in more than five challenges at one time. I don't know why you ever set a limit on the number of people that can be in one challenge, when you can have unlimited friends on your list... You want to motivate as many people as possible . It's seems like this should be an easy fit.. But as I read on, it's been a concern for years. Take care of your customers!!! Fit the matter. I c you keep added different types of new Fitbit to your line of collection.., yet you can fit the small problems 😔😔😔

I would love it if people replying to this thread could just do so once, rather than creating multliple personas' to spam there point. or If its already in here dont write the same information time and time and time again, it loses that special something that HAS not been already discussed. Just because you bag on something doesnt mean its important to everyone, yes having more than 5 challenges would be great but,... It is already on the front page. lets add something new rather than 37 pages of the same old whinging.

[Porapa]

Would be great to create challenges that are not necessarily related to steps. Such as calories burnt or floors climbed etc. Should be free to create any based on what the app already measures

[Reesey]

its an old post but saw this in thread and I like the idea - and to add - what if Fitbit held occasional challenges and gave some swag to a few users. But make them interesting and little more complex like - "1000 cals burned before noon".  I think that would be fun! I actually thought about doing something like that with my friends but I am limited by 10 friends and I cannot send my challenge WITH a custom message.

 know this is probably a long way off, but I think it would be great if you could incorporate new challenges that you can join in the app istelf, that way people could log their progress, etc.  It would be a cool feature if their were different weekly/monthly things to join right there at your finger tips.

For example, maybe during one week there's a 25,000 step challenge. Hit 25,000 steps in a single day to complete it. And maybe anyone who does gets entered into a random drawing for some fitbit swag, a gift card, discount code for the store, etc.  Or maybe you can accumlate "points" from completing in app challenges and cash them in for stuff.  Just a thought, but it's a way to grow the brand and get the user more motivated and involved in my opinion.

This sound awesome.. I would LOVE THIS!!!

with recent events on the forums, customise challenges, and to be honest, that really should have been already there

[SStroller]

Please allow users the flexibility to create their own challenges for steps, water consumption and even sleep. This would be such an awesome addition & encourage even more intergration of FitBit into our daily lives & while helping to make users more engaged, active & healthier. Can't wait 'till y'all do it!

[Katinaf]

Create a feature or way to customize challenges, such as a summer challenge or month challenge. A way that a persob determine length of the challenge.

[Vmdavis5]

I wish you could have unlimited challenges. 5 isn't enough and it's helps with motivation!

[TugsMom]

Surprised to see how long people have been waiting to see Fitbit change the number of people allowed in a challenge and how many challenges a person can join. I would love to see the 10-participants limit increased for challenges. I'm not sure what the reasoning is behind keeping it.

[LTinPA]

I found several ideas related to the keyword "challenge" during my search.  My idea may just be a variation on some of those, but the fact remains that the current Challenges feature on the Fitbit app is not serving the needs of a large number of users.  None of the four options offers the same motivation or incentive as a personalized, adjustable challenge.  This week, for example, I want to challenge myself to reach 50,000 steps in a seven-day week.  No can do through either the app or the desktop version of my Fitbit account.  Maybe the next time I go for a hike I want to challenge myself to hike a mile further than I think I can do.  Again, not a challenge I can create through Fitbit.

Users can set a sleep goal, a step goal, an hourly activity goal.  And we can set an alarm or a notification.  Why can't that same customization be applied to challenges?

[lymm]

I would love to c a challenge that DOES NOT involve steps!!!
