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.

Agreed. It just doesn’t make sense

100% agree...l can no longer effectively use this product.  I love fitbit and am thinking about going back to my charge two.  Next time I will wait abit before buying the newest one....

Yes, please. I would love to be able to omit the things I don’t use & be able to see what I want to quicker.

I've already commented but I'm going to comment again. I also don't like how, when you're cycling through the available exercises to choose from, the menu doesn't loop around. Once you get to the end of the list, you have to swipe backwards and go all the way back to the beginning again. I find that frustrating.

 

Oh, and I still cannot get my Fitbit to recognise my sleep (it still says SLEEP NOT TRACKED), I still cannot get it to recognise the water that I drink, and now it's refusing to count when I complete a goal day (it still says 0/5 goal days complete). The only thing that updates is my weight and my 'female cycle'.

 

Please fix this, Fitbit. We're really sad!

Please let us edit the items displayed and the order. I really liked that on the charge 2!

Like so many others i have more use of some of the apps and none of some so the ability to rearrange what's visible on the charger3 display is something there is a big need for.
Not asking for the ability to completely delete the core apps, just to turn the visibility on/off and in what order they are to be seen.

I wholeheartedly agree!

+1 my priorities are in a different order than the default provided for the widgets, and I don't need the period tracking widget or my weight loss showing up on the fitbit at all! I just received my Charge 3 last night and the lack of customization is infuriating.

I upgraded to the Charge 3 from the Alta HR, where I was able to customize the menu.  Being I can't do it on the Charge 3 is ridiculous.  One main issue being, when I first scroll down, the first new item is the battery power, which then makes it so the heart rate is hidden/cut off below the bottom.  This is just bad design.  I want to move battery life to the end, delete stairs, weight, water etc.  Please update the Charge 3, Fitbit!

Dear moderators...can we please have some feedback? Is this already being accomplished? Or is it in the "we'll consider it" stage? Or are we wasting our time? Curious...

Since the Charge 2 supported customer ordering of it's 'apps', the fact that its successor doesn't feels like a step backwards.

I would also like to be able to re-arrange the apps and the stats as well as disable ones I don't want.

I found this page while trying to find how to uninstall apps I do not want and how to rearrange the apps so I don’t have to swipe as much.

 

It’s frustrating that these features need to be requested instead of being provided by default. On the plus side, I know which smart watch not to gift this season.

I need this feature on my charge 3. It’s the only downfall

I wish we would get some feedback from Fitbit!

Would love to be able to remove what I don't use and move the things I use most closer to home/top.

I'd like to be able to remove the showing of my weight on my Charge 3 watch.  (Not something I want to share 🙂  )

This just seems like a no brainer. Everything you were able to do on the Charge 2 should be on the Charge 3. Including customizing clock faces. One word: CUSTOMIZATION

I would love to be able to do this with not only the menu items but the dashboard when you swipe up. I think we should be able to delete some of the items we don’t use. For example, I don’t use active minutes and floors climbed so I would like to be able to delete them.

I agree the ability to remove/hide options and reorder then to my liking would me fantastic, I exercise with wearing my glasses and relay on auto recognise. This works ok for bike walk/run/treadmill, but not for weights. Reordering would allow me to place exercises in order of use and I’d be able then to remember the option the start/stop exercises on demand with glasses.

I also find this frustrating, this should be resolved.

Chiming in with the others.    Ability to choose which stats are displayed and in what order is a total must have.   I am a fish and don't track water, so that's a pointless swipe for me to get through.   And while I use the feminine health cycle info, I surely don't want anyone looking at my watch to know where I'm sitting cycle wise, lol!      I was really shocked to see that there wasn't an ability to toggle which ones showed, or did not show.    As they have that configured for which exercises come up (and order too) I'd think it should be possible for the other stats too.   Hopefully!

I gave up. Sent it back for a full refund a while ago.  Switched platforms and while the new platform's selection doesn't look as nice and is a bit bulkier, at least it does what I want it to.

I agree.  I really don’t want/need to have my weight displayed on my Fitbit for when I want to show off all the features to a new user!   Would love the option of removing it.

I agree ... It would be very nice to choose what is displayed and how ... Like a few people, I don’t use Relax and often Weather. 

 

The very must would be to have notification for WhatsApp also !
