Friends Daily/Weekly Step Count on App and graph

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 love the 7-day ranking and use it as challenge to catch up or beat my friends, but I think a daily ranking would be even greater of a challenge.  I often log onto the website to view my friends daily steps.  Is it possible to have this on the dashboard or app?

Totally agree!!! Want to compete with a friend at work but can't tell.

I would really like to see my friends daily total so I can compete daily with them. It would provide me more motivation each day.

I agree too! +1 for this! Really hoping it's in the next update! Daily friend totals would be so fun.

Agreed.  Can you please add daily steps into the app.  I would love to see daily steps instead of weekly!!  Thansk

i like the idea of daily step totals for friends then we can compete/motivate each other.  Ideally on the front page next to friends rather than 7 day average.

Please consider a feature that would allow sharing "daily" steps with friends instead of just seven day total

This is a great idea. I'd love to be able to compete with daily step counts instead of an average.

Why not get the team off their asses ? We present a good idea that makes sense and everyone likes and nothing gets changed. Why isn't it changed already ?

This is a great suggestion! We'll be sure to pass this along to our team.

Hoping that more people saying "I want this too" will help motivate the fitbit people to add this feature. I specifically logged on to the forums on my computer just to find out if I can change my app display to include friends daily steps, not weekly.  I want to know how they are doing for the DAY.  That we can motiviate each other and send messages to encourage each other more if we see that day's stats being low. I dont really care about their weekly stats.  PLEASE implement the phone mobile app to show friends' daily steps instead of the weekly total (or keep both, but ADD DAILY!).

 

thanks.

I am so glad to see I am not the only one that would like to see this. Also I would like to see my comments I write back to them.

Come on Fitbit!  The inability to see my friends daily steps is a terrible oversight.  I am coming over from the Jawbone Up, and I can tell you that the ability to quickly view my friends daily totals was a huge motivator for me. 

 

This would be a very simple change to implement.

I agree entirely.  I would MUCH rather see daily steps of my friends...what better motivater than that!!  Come on fitbit...step up to the challenge.

I agree with all of the prior comments. I don't find any if the other information particularly useful on the Fitbit app. The lack of meausrement for daily steps is why I continue to reach out to third party apps. I was very disappointed to see that this feature was not included when others like Jawbone provide it. Time to catch up to the competition! Other than that, I love my Fitbit.

My sister and I both bought the fitbit thinking that we would be able to view each others daily steps.  Disappointed this is not an option on the app; would really love to see this added.

It would be great to see how my friends are doing on a daily basis, in addition to their 7-day average via theinole app. That way I know whether to "taunt" or "cheer" them on without having to check the dashboard online. A percentage of (daily) goal would do the trick also.

Being able to see friends daily steps is a must.  If it can be done in Windows, why not on the I-pad!

Come on fitbit!!! Give us the daily count!! Easier to taunt daily rather than weekly.

Adding a Daily Steps option to the Leaderboard would be a fantastic addition. Among my friends, we find it much more motivational to compete daily, rather than weekly. It can be quite discouraging to see someone have a high weekly step count and feel like you can never catch them. Being able to start fresh every day is much more motivational. You already have the data. Please just add the option for those that want to use it!
