Increase challenge participants to greater than 10

We (my Fitbit friends) would like to increase the challenge numbers to include more than 10 people. Our group includes way more than 10 who are active and want play

I'd like to see the challenge limit raised to 10. I'd like to join 10 challenges at a time. Sometimes I have 5 workweeks. That means I can't do any goal day or daily showdowns. Also sometimes people like to start weekend warrior on Friday. I can't join because I'm already at capacity and the workweek isn't over.

The 5 challenge limit is very annoying.  I should at least be able to join a challenge for a future date without it counting against my current challenge number.

Please make it where we can allow more than 10 people in a challenge. Maybe even 12-15 would work better than 10. Thanks 🙂

Fitbit, we love you.  

 

But we don't love the five challenge limit (I've never encountered a Fitbitter who thought the limit is a good idea).  

 

Can you help us understand your reasoning and/or technical limitations by answering the following:

 

  1. why do finished challenges that are still in the sync period count toward our five challenge limit?
  2. why is there a five challenge limit at all?  
  3. is there any plan to alleviate this limitation?

Yes, why not do more than 10? More the merrier!

I vote that we should be allowed to be in more then 5 challenges at a time

We want you to remove the Maximum 5-Challenge rule. We increase our step totals when we are in a challenge. Your 5-Challenge max rule makes no sense. Plus, even after a challenge is over it may take you up to 12 hours to clear that challenge so we can move on.

Yes, we need more than 10 people. I have 22 active friends that race to get into my contests and complain because they are left out. Its competitive and fun, but would be even better if there were more people in the hunt

We are an engineering company. We rolled out a Fitness programme within the company and integrated Fitbit as a part of it to measure performance and run competitions. We have 24 staff in the group but unfortunately, we can't include everyone into competitions like Weekend Warrior, Workweek Hustle as Fitbit has restricted it to only 10 people. Please fix this issue. It will be very much appreciated and useful to other companies like us. Thank you.Man Happy

I totally agree. I dont see why this is still just an idea. They to pick up the pieces and make it happen already.

Currently we can only add 10 members to challenges.  This needs to be increased. Many of my family members are unable to join. Fitbit would also benefit from this increase because it would not make sense for us to tell people to buy a fitbit if they can't be added to the group.  It really needs to be changed.

Still no comments on  this idea? How hard can it be?

I guess they're just ignoring everyone. Bet if we went on strike they'd listen up. LMBO

I don't think Fitbit looks at these requests.

I think they look, but don't do anything. It seems simple to me to fix.

Well what a waste to ask people to submit them.

I too don't understand, it seems simple to fix.

I set up the work week hustle as part of our works healthy lifestyle programme, with the number of staff in our workforce having 5 challenges and inviting 9 is not enough. Can these be extended to 20-30 in a group and can we have unlimited challenges?

Please increase the number of challenges a user can be in at once, 5 is way to low for someone who has a large group of friends. I would even be willing to purchase the upgraded package if I could have more challenges.

Yeah please please increase the challenges. I have a growing amount of friends, but I can't accept all their challenges. I love doing challenges 😄

I just learned that the maximum numbers of races are set to FIVE whether I'm a premium member or not. I cannot be the only user who would love to see a much higher number set(i.e. 10-20non-members 21-50premium members). Is this a database storage issue which ultimately comes down to cost to store that much data or have the engineers and design team tossed this idea in the air about expanding the race limitations?
