Dark Theme in Fitbit App for Android and iOS

Hello, It is a sincere request to add the dark theme for the android application as the appearance of the application during night time is very bright and with the dark theme it will be easier to use the application and not cause any harm to one's eyesight

For phones with amoled screens, having a dark theme would help battery life on the user's device.

A dark theme for all mobile platforms would be much appreciated. I have a Windows Phone with an AMOLED display and would appreciate this feature as well.

Thanks for sharing this idea @Vstrom-ryder! Besides saving the battery, it will also look cool. I will send your idea to our development team so they can evaluate it.

Hi Fitbit-Team,

please add an option in a future update to choose a dark theme for the Windows 10 / Mobile app.

That would be very nice. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for stopping by, I think it would be great to have themes for the Fitbit app. I will make sure to pass this suggestion to our team for consideration.

Why wouldn't allow the users to choose between several backgrounds, dark or of different colours?

yes, please.  battery saving would be great, but my eyes would certainly be happier if the screen wasn't so bright white all the time - especially when going into the app to mark begin/end sleep.

Dark themes are essential on amoled screens.

The Fitbit app is one of the few apps on my Windows platform that does not support a dark theme.  Boy does it pop out at me when I open the app!  Please, please, please add a dark theme!!!!

One thing I would like to and maybe a lot of others would like to see if a dark mode feature for the app.

Yep totally agree the bright white is horrible on both versions of the app. Dark mode please!

Please could we have either a option to change background colour to black or a option to increase text, I am partially sighted and when I add food I can see the food ok but the store and calories is grey and dull and I struggle to see it.  Pretty please

Would it be possible to give a night mode or a way of changing the background to a dark colour, as i am partially sighted and find the white is to bright and have difficulty reading some of the writing in adding food section

Not only does allowing a DARK THEME offer us a nice visual experience, it's also a MUST for the visually impaired (like me - I have to invert the colors on my phone to see the Fitbit app at all).  Also, a dark theme takes less battery than a white theme, helping us get more out of our phones.  This feature is standard now on most apps -- it's missing from Google products, but there are many alternatives for those of us that use email, calendars and other google things.  But there is no alternative to Fitbit.  It's the best.  It rocks.  We love it.  Now it must address this concern for all users and offer a light or dark theme option.

I would also recommend a dark mode option for users. I much prefer to look at the darker background when I use the app in the early hours.

Agree and want! Besides, dark mode saves battery on mobile phones anyway, so win win!!!

I was about to suggest the same thing. I prefer dark theme, I would love to see black and orange theme.

Agreed, any theme for that matter will do.. The bright white theme makes it
a difficult experience to view the data during the night time
