The current widget is quite large and clashes with a lot of the Themer app schemes. It would be nice if the widget could resize into a small square instead of the big rectangle.
Would also be nice to have a widget option to show numbers only and not the images.
For a widget that doesn't house that much information it is too large. Could be half the size and be just as useful. Also have that ability to change its colour or make it transparent would be fantastic.
It has been mentioned before but apparently has fallen on deaf ears. If you look though the suggestions there are repeats of:
- widget too big for little info
- widget takes up too much space
- advanced app icon that shows steps
Basically, people don't want half of their screen taken up by your widget that only shows a little info. Even if it was a 2x2 tile it would be big enough to show the info and big enough for clumsy thumbs while working out. This is an easy one and has no downfalls. C'mon android team!
I just switched to a FitBit (Charge) from just the step counter on my Samsung Galaxy S4. The 'SHealth' app from Samsung has their widget counter at 4x1 and transparent (white or black text are the only options).
The 4x2 puke blue from FitBit hasn't made it on any screen yet, as it's one of the most unattractive widgets I've seen. Not sure who designed this and chose 4x2, but my suggestion to FitBit returned with them telling me to post here as "our product development teams consult regularly to ensure we're delivering on what our customers need and want".

Currently, the widget with the Fitbit app on Android has a minimum size of 4x2 when displaying the widget on the screen. I ask that the widget be changed slightly to allow a minimum size of at least 4x1 if a 2x1 option is not feasible. With the current minimum size, it appears that the widget could fit in a 4x1 footprint because a large amount of the space in the 4x2 space that the widget occupies is just blank.
