Would like it if we the users could change the sort order of the challenges view & have the option of removing completed challenges from our view. I want the most current challenges to be first on the list, not future challenges that haven't started. If a winner has been declared in a completed challenge, I don't need it to linger for so long in my view. Maybe having 3 sections at the top would be nice, could be "Current", "Completed", "Future".
Please allow users to delete challenges - active or completed - from their app dashboards. Having junk on my homescreen that I can't control makes me want to not even log in. I hate seeing these old, completed challenges cluttering up my screen. Also, make it easier to start a new challenge. Currently I can't start a challenge with a group of people of my choosing because of all the old challenges that I can't delete.
Hi @DeborahMW, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback about having the option to delete the challenges that have already been completed, including your list of friends. This feature suggestion already exists so I’ve moved your post here as it is currently under "Reviewed by moderator" status. This helps maintain the Community and the Feature Suggestion board more organized.
This is a massive problem that yet hasn't been sorted or even considered since 2015. Please create an option to manually delete completed challenges it really isn't that hard to configure an algorithm to do this. It's basic application UI. Sort your stuff out or you'll end up having people leave fitbit for good.
Exactly! Simple dev stuff... I’m tired of their lip service. They need to simply do something about it. And with the reface of the app I can now see my completed challenges first thing for just as long. WTF are they thinking? Customer experience is **ahem**ty here... they don’t give a crap about the customer. I’ve stopped giving a crap about them. When my Charge3 dies we’ll see if they’ve listened to their customer feedback or not.
Yes!!!! I have 7 completed Goal Day challenges on my dashboard right now. Every day, I have to go into my edit dashboard settings and move the completed ones to the bottom of the list until they eventually fall off. It’s such a nuisance!
This must be fixed - it makes my Ionic useless. Have reported this several times as have many others. Has caused a number of people I was doing challenges with to leave Fitbit and move to other products. Seems like Fitbit does not care about customers at all.
I agree that challenges should go away sooner after completion. If you only have a few hours to update after challenge ends, it could then disappear a few hours later or, at the latest- midnight the following day. Challenges are one of the main features for FB users!
Hi @Jaaaack, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback with us, this feature suggestion already exists so I’ve moved your post here to maintain this board organized.
We should be able to delete from the screen. They just clutter it up, and won't let us start new challenges, even tho these are dead and done! We should also be able to sort them.
The inability to delete old & completed challenges is ridiculous. Listing old challenges at the top of the dashboard makes the app non-user friendly. It appears this not just an annoyance to me but to a lot of users. There are a lot of activity monitors available...just a thought. Since this issue continues to be ignored by FitBit, we may need to consider other options.
A lot of times new challenges can't be started due to being maxed out. Evidently last week's challenges count toward that number. Can these be deleted faster? I start some in yesterdays but this option disappears over the weekend and can only be shared.
Hi @SunsetRunner, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback about having an option to delete completed challenges. This feature suggestion already exists so I’ve moved your post here to keep this board organized.
Can you please use the profits you made in Q4 of 2019 to pay your developpers to help us delete completed challenges, so we can start new ones? This is the ONLY reason to buy a FitBit watch over an Apple watch. Thank you. As a pro Apple user, I'm quickly losing interest.
Please let us delete old challenges once everyone has synced. I can't start new challenges cause all the completed ones count towards my total active challenges. Getting rid of the challenge limit would also be a good idea too
Challenges require us to wait 2 days in order to join a new one. If you do several challenges with friends work week and weekend, you become unable to do weekend challenges because it takes 2 days to clear out finished work week challenges. Large groups that coordinate 5 challenges will thank you. We can't invite everyone to a weekend challenge, because the weekend is over before the work week clears. Customer tech support advised me to put this suggestion here.
Hi @Theladyrenegade! Great suggestion, thanks for sharing your feedback. I've moved it into a similar request. A lot of users are asking for this option, I hope we receive updates soon.
