Friends Daily/Weekly Step Count on App and graph

Status: Not currently planned Submitted by on ‎12-16-2013 12:25

I think a welcomed addition to the friends profile across all apps would be the ability to see a friend's daily step count.  This would be useful when "chasing" a friend down.  Smiley Happy

 

Other user data such as, distance, active minutes, pictures and other information that person has set to share with friends would be nice as well.

 

Idealy the user would be able to slide through previous days like you can on your personal dashboard view

I agree, the 7-day view is not motivating I would love to keep up with my friends daily activity.

My daughters and I have had Jawbones for months now and loved them..loved the look and the app, but only changed because Jawbone seems to have shut down their customer service etc., so as my daughters were changing they switched to fitbit.  I finally joined them and I am so utterly disappointed in the app and not being able to compete on a daily hourly to the minute basis with accepted friends.  That gave me so much incentive to keep moving during the day and was one of the reasons I purchased a tracker in the first place.  I only assumed that Jawbone being the highest ranking tracker to my knowledge would be even more advanced and offer even more.  I never could have imagined the poor app.  Very disappointing.  Much more expensive and so much less to offer.

Exactly. And these spot date back a couple years , yet they still haven't done it. FYI There is a app Stridekick that will.

I received an App update yesterday and a 'Look at whats new'.  Sadly I had my hopes up but no.  They merely rearranged stuff but I really don't see any advantages to the updates they did yesterday.  I am so irritated.  Will there every be a time when the company will listen to the users?  It seems like never.

Being able to see daily steps with friends adds so much more motivation! 

Please add this feature fitbit

Yes, please.  Knowing your "competition's" daily step totals are far more motivating!!

I think it would be cool to see things like active minutes and maybe if they have logged food for the day, but not details like weight and body fat percent that people might not want to share. It would also be cool to have things like weight loss since last weigh in like My Fitness Pal does so that you can cheer on your friends, but not know exactly how much they weigh, you know?

I'd like to be able to see my friends daily steps!! At least more easily on the friends dashboard.

I think it would be nice if you could "enable/disable" a button to let your friends see your daily steps.

I completely agree, I had a Jawbone Up and feel the App to go along with it is so much more fun and user friendly than Fitbit. Although the actual device of the Fitbit (I have the Alta) is better, by updating the app so you can see friends steps and be able to cheer them on daily would be such an added value!

How do I "vote" on this suggestion?  Simply by posting a comment?  If so, then I officially "vote" for this suggestion to be implemented!

Why is it taking so long to provide fitbit users with a daily step count of their friends? I'm just shocked and stunned that this isn't being done. The UP had the best app and users could see daily and 7-day average steps. Motivating and useful.

Fitbit really needs to add this basic feature, which other companies (such as Jawbone) already offer.  It is absolutely essential to be able to see friends' daily steps -- NOT just the rolling weekly totals.  In order to compete with my friends during each day, I have to be able to check their daily step counts in real time.  This is a make or break feature for me.

I wonder why not once has these questions been answered. There has to be hundreds of the same , I get notifications weekly that somebody else asked the same question. This is been going on for me since January. I am not sure why they have this forum when nothing is ever addressed?

Yes please add the ability to see my friend's daily steps.  That enhances the competition factor between all of us.  And who doesn't like competition?!!

I agree. Three of us just bough fitbits with the intention to compare daily steps and are surprised and dissapointed to find this isn't possuble.

 

The 7-day average daily steps is demotivating when for sickness or travel we are unable to reach our daily goals. 

 

When is this going to be added please?

OMG I've just noticed this very request goes back to 2014. And Fitbit moderator has agreed it's a great request. And nothing has been done for three years! The sole purpose we purchased these was to compare daily steps. That's ridiculous Fitbit.

I have moved to jawbone because this feature is not availableon Fitbit. I would love the new Alta hr but will only invest in one if I could see my friend's daily steps, sleep would be a bonus too. I am nosey.

I moved from Jambone to Fitbit a couple of weeks ago. I really love the device , but I miss being able to keep up with my friends daily, it was a great motivator!

We just want to see friends daily/current steps - not the average 7 days worth.   Why are we still discussing this/voting on it?  we have told you what is common sense to have - over 3 yrs ago.  and still nothing yet.    Maybe I should have bought another fitness tracker - I still have time to take this one back.

I think this is a basic feature and should definitely be on the app. I don't see what the 7 day steps is there? It should be daily.
