Make the "Recent" exercise list reflects actual recent activities

[mdc44]

For a Fitbit Sense, in the "Exercise" section of the Fitbit app, when you tap on "Categorize Exercise" it brings you to a screen that says "Choose an Exercise" and you have the choice of "Search for exercise type" or a "Recent" list that has 5 different activities. Those activities should reflect the persons actual recent activities they engaged in

Currently, I have to type in Bike when I log a Bike workout. When I then try to log a Rowing workout, I have to type in Rowing. The next morning, I have to type in Bike again. The RECENT list only shows 1 RECENT workout and 4 completely irrelevant workouts that ARE NOT recent.

In EXERCISE SHORTCUTS, rowing is not even selectable. Please add it?

Currently if I want to manually add an exercise, it doesn't remember my most recent exercises. I see a default list of exercises, Outdoor Bike, Walk, Run, Sport, Elliptical. These have for the most part nothing to do with my most recent exercises. It would be nice for Fitbit to remember actual recent exercises, so I can add these quickly.

Do bugs actually ever get fixed on this app? This has been a problem for well over a year.

[mdc44]

From what I can tell, no. They just give people a place to post things
to let them feel like they're working to solve issues.

Same. Totally tired of typing in Treadmill everyday and it never appears on my list of "recents". Instead there are options like "run" and "sport" which I've never ever used. So Fitbit's concept of "recent" is quite out of the ordinary 🙂

I recently got my charge 5 and its showing a floor tracker and asking for my goal on floors. I walk alot if floors and this feature was on my old fitbit . I have just been informed charge 5 doesn't count floors. Disappointed is an understatement 😔. I want a fitbit that counts floors. I now have to send this one back. Wait for a refund and reorder . Which one counts floors please . I need one ASAP for a trekking holiday in 7 days .😭. Many thanks in adavance
