Make app more acsessible for learning disabilities and visual disabilities

[sdanbycooper]

The app needs to have an option of colour overlay or for the icons to have an alt text under it to explain what the visual means.
It’s too monochrome for adhd hard to seperate each stat

Yes, yes, yes! The new change is totally unreadable!

Very much agree. I should be able to understand my sleep stages at a glance (like I used to). Now there are too many unnecessary lines criss-crossing and it’s made it really inaccessible and hard to read.

The new sleep page is impossible to read and the ability to scroll through and compare days is gone, can't imagine what the developers were thinking with this and I have no idea how anyone with less than perfect eyesight will be able to read it. Time to move to Garmin.

@JorgSam  I agree with you 100%. What you described is the main reason I have a Fitbit. They took away other features like how many oz are left for my daily water goal. They rearranged the dial feature so that it pushes the missed hour of steps to the end instead of leaving the gap where it should be. Now you have to go to the bar version to see that info. So many other things they took away. If they only restored one of the things they took away though, I'd want the old sleep setup. I can no longer go over my great graphs they USED to have and day by day comparisons with my sleep doctor. This renders Fitbit useless for my medical problem.

This is also a really good reason to keep the Web Dashboard too!  While I do not have a visual disability I much prefer the Web Dashboard instead of pecking my way through either the iOS or Android App for all of the details showing on one screen on a computer.

I'm really glad someone put this into words! I used to feel excited looking around in my Fitbit app (that little dopamine rush when you see something with pretty colors!), and ever since the UI change it's felt cold and far less intuitive.

I feel myself taking an extra second or more to register each icon, whereas before I could recognize them at a glance. I work on a computer all day, and this looks like just another job-related software. Using Fitbit now subconsciously feels like work, where it used to be fun 😞
