Start week on Monday on Android App

So sorry, USA, but you are the only ones who start the week on Sunday. For the rest of the world, we would really appreciate if we can change the settings on our Android app for the week to start on the first day of the week, namely Monday. I know you can do it on the dashboard, but I'd like to start the week on Mondays, also on the app, as this is my primary go-to place to check stats. 

 

Thanks.

I also came here hoping to change the start of my fitbit's week to a Monday start. Monday is the start of my week and Sunday is the last day of my weekend.

Android is the only one that cannot start the week on Monday. Even my husband's Windows phone app has that option. We are working out together and it's not matching up. Like everyone else we start out weeks on mondays and it ends Sunday's. Please get this set up asap.

I don't think they pay attention to this,we'really directed here to make us feel like they might actually care or fix it. The whole US starts on Sunday is a BS excuse for them not to fix a known problem. Look how long customers have been asking for the problem to be fixed! They just don't want to pay for an update. My next device will not be a fitbit if they can't respond and fix the error.

It's already available on iOS devices and it worked on my old Android phone too. Why isn't this available for all Android devices? This really needs to go in ASAP.

Another vote to have the android app reflect the same "week" as the PC dashboard. I was surprised to find this still an open request after nearly a year. It seems like a pretty glaring omission, with no obvious reason.

I'm in America and have always started my week on Monday. I've just always found it much easier to remember things (especially while in school, the first day of the week is the first day of school, etc).

I also would like the option to match the Android app's week start with the online dashboard from my computer. I'm sure this option wouldn't be that hard to build into the app.

Please, please, please, we've been waiting and waiting. Please add the option to start the week on Monday to Android devices. For all the reasons all these posters have listed.

Updated to app version 2.20.1 and it still uses Sunday... This is ridiculous, why can't android users change to Monday, when will fitbit listen to us 😭

We are directed here so they don't have to talk to us or solve the problem. We all need to start calling customer service and forcing an answer, As you can see we are wasting our time here! I really like the Fietbit, but will never buy another until this is changed. They obviously do not care about our requests as evidence by the lack of response.

Emailed Fitbit Support the following in hopes of good news:

 

Good morning,

 
Could you please provide the status of the issue re: the Fitbit Android app not having the ability to change the workweek from Sunday to Monday?
 
Although this functionality is available on the web and iOS platforms, it is not available on the android app. Therefore, it appears to be an issue of missing functionality with the android app.
 
This issue was originally reported in March 2015 and the user was directed to document this under Product Development > Feature Request in the Fitbit Community. As of today, this issue is almost a year old. Users who have also identified this issue have been directed to vote on this as a "feature" and there are currently 73 votes.
 
How many votes are required on this issue to have the fix implemented as a feature?
Is there a fix that is currently in development?
 
Thank you

Another "vote" to PLEASE fix the Andriod app to make Monday an option for the first day of the week. I mostly use my phone to check stats and would like the computer and phone to match up with when the work week actually starts. It's been a year now. Please just fix it.

Please enable us to make our start day a Monday on the Android app. My wife can do it on her iPhone, not sure why you wouldn't make it consistent for all users.

It seems this request had been around for awhile... Perhaps it's time to make this simple change. It's not hard.
