Rearrange or customize Charge 3 & 4 apps/stats view/Today

I'd really like the ability to rearrange the built in apps on my Charge 3. The app I'll use most often is the Weather, which is on the last page! I have to swipe a bunch to get to it. The next one would be the timer app, which is on the second page. The most frustrating part is that on some of the help pages, the images show the apps in a different order! I've spent ages trying to figure out how to adjust it.

Hi @Fabb3e, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback with us,this feature suggestion already exists so I’ve moved your post here.

I really hope this is a feature quickly addressed. I shouldn't feel I have downgraded something from Alta Hr where I could choose the order of stats

. I like to customize the stats. I like to have quick access to steps, time, date and HR. I can't get them all on the clock screen so I would like HR to be one swipe away not scroll down searching for it mid workout.

Thanks

I'd like to be able to customise the display of my Charge 3. For example be able to remove my weight and water intake.

The suggestion is already over 5 weeks old and has gained many kudos. German Fitbit users also crave this possibility 🙂

I'm still unsure whether I want to upgrade from a Charge 2, because this feature is missing. How many more kudos does this post need?  Could you give me a tip, if this feature will be added and if yes, will it be worth putting the Charge 3 onto my Christmas wishlist? Or should I wait longer?

Thank you! 🙂

PS: It would be great if there was a possibility to enhance the fonts. My mother-in-law is not able to read what the watch is displaying 😞

Please allow removal of apps I won't use and ability to move the items I use most closer to the start. When is the next time we can expect update?

This! I'm quite excited about the improved hardware: the screen looks excellent, charging cable has been improved over the Charge 2 and I hope the Gorilla glass will help prevent the display from developing these long cracks as we've experienced with all of our Fitbit Charge 2's (we've had 4 of them over the last couple of years and all of them had the display crack in summer when travelling by plane or by car from low to higher altitude). By hardware aside, I'm a bit disappointed in the rigid structure of the software. So yes, please, please, provide some way to select which apps to show, and in what order.

 

This can't be too hard to fix. Hope to see this suggestion picked up by your development team.

I totally agree! I want the weather to be the first swipe not the third. It should be customizable. I also would like to be able to see the timer on my workouts when I am outside. Why would they make that a dimmer display? I can't read it even when I shade it with my hand.

I also want to customize the displays. This is a "step" backwards from the capabilities of my Charge 2. (BTW how many people need to point this out before FITBIT actually makes something happen?)

Agree with the other commenters on this thread - Charge 2 has the ability to select what shows on fitbit & select the order they're presented.  Charge 3 NOT having this ability makes Charge 3 a step down from Charge 2.  C'mon fitbit!  Charge 3 should have more functionality than Charge 2 - not less!

Adding to my comment above - I like the ability to swipe up/down. But please let me pick which elements are displayed on my fitbit (I don't need weight & water consumed there).  Please let me select what order the elements are presented.

I don't use step count as my main dashboard tile, but the daily activity tile, which tells me more about my daily fitness goal (since it's related to HR) than the step count. The main watch faces all have step counts - there should be an option for the watch to match the main tile the user selected in the app, since that reflects what is most important to a particular user. Also, I removed the water and weight tiles from the app, but they still show up on the watch, which doesn't make much sense.

Count my vote for being able to Rearrange/Customize Charge 3 Apps/Stats View.

This please! Definitely need the ability to rearrange and omit stats or apps we don't want to see.

Agree with everyone. Should be able to remove the features that we don't want from the screen, or at least me able to re-arrange them. Charge 2 had it, so why remove that feature from the 3.

Please include ability to rearrange apps. I ould like to be able to put weather on first page. Also include ability to rearrange stats as well as uninclude certain stats. Thanks!

I would like the ability to arrange/reorganize/customize the tiles on my Charge 3 (not within in the app, but the display on the fitbit itself). Right now, it’s steps, activity, heart rate, distance, calories, floors, active minutes, sleep duration, etc. For example, I’d prefer to have heart rate first, then steps, then distance, etc. This was a feature on the Alta HR and since the Charge 3 is newer, it appears that people assumed this would be an option (based on the forums I read). The more customizable the better! Thank you.

Another yes vote. I came across this discussion while looking for how to make the very changes discussed, which was so simple to do on my Charge 2. I look forward to notification that this update is available.

Hi @aseale16, thanks for explaining why you would like to have this option. I've moved it into a similar suggestion which has a lot of votes. As the more votes and comments an idea has the more visibility and momentum it gains. You can learn more about how Fitbit decides what suggestions get released in our FAQs.

 

Have an awesome day!

Customisation of apps is a no brainer – please put it in the next update.

We should be able to customize the tile orders swiping to the right and swiping up and down!

Fully agree with everyone.  Just upgraded from Charge 2 to Charge 3 and it's a pain to scroll through the apps (up/down and right) to get to the items I want to see most.  Please make this customizable so we can each choose what's important to us and in what order (Steps, heart rate, distance, etc.)  Thanks!

Can’t believe this functionality is not there on the Charge 3

This is one of those no-brainers so obvious that not having it ready on release makes my otherwise great little device seem kinda... beta.
