Option to move challenges down in mobile app

I recently updated to the new dashboard, and there isn’t one change that I like.  Really dislike the horizontal bars for heart rate and activity.  I frequently challenge a friend for steps and the new challenge always pops up right under the steps.  I have moved them down using “edit”, but each new one goes right back to the top of the bars pushing my stats out of view.  Please put the challenges back on a separate tab.  Setting alarms is more of a hassle than the old dashboard.   Couldn’t even find it on my own, I had to search the forum.  I’m with a lot of other users, this new look is a deal breaker for me.  I’ll wait for updates, but thought about getting an updated tracker for Christmas and may think about changing.  Blah!

I’m sure the user community is curious about the status of these suggestions ...  I know there has been numerous other issues plaguing the development crew, but can you or they give us an idea on how or when improved challenge ordering will occur ?  

Thanks, and best regards

I am a fairly new FitBit user so I missed out in the chance to experience the challenges being in a different tab. I would love to have a nice clean home screen with the stats that I use regularly, and not have it clogged up with all the challenges that I’m participating in.

 

It would also be very nice if within that challenges tab you could separate challenges that are finished from ones that are still going. It is disappointing that in order to clear a challenge that is already over from my crowded home screen I have to “quit” the challenge (which I’m not really quitting because it’s been completed), losing out on any rematches that might come from it.

Having the challenges in a separate tab or "challenges app" would clean up the App interface and allow users to view their stats more easily. When you have a lot of challenges, you have to scroll through them all to get to your stats.

 

It would also be nice for the challenges to be sorted/group by challenge type. All bingo, hustle, etc challenges grouped together.
