Wow this charge 5 has been a bit of a let down. Cannot hit the side to return to the Home Screen, no weather app (please re install it) no Spotify and no calendar. Seems like you take a step forwards and 4 steps backwards!!
You have really let your loyal customers down who thought that the 5 will be a good upgrade!
The weather app is one of the most consistently used app on my charge 4 and it absolutely should be a feature on the Charge 5. I was disappointed to find it not included. This is a fairly basic feature of even inexpensive products.
I'm still a fitbit supporter, but I'm really beginning to believe that fitbit doesn't have the wants of its customers as a serious goal.
The way I was treated with my defective Charge 4 leads me to believe that customer loyalty isn't a priority.
Please, please, please add the weather app to Charge 5!!!! It was in my charge 3 so makes no sense why it was not added to the 5. Please add, thank you.
I like to see weather app on Fitbit charge 5 in the future!! Beacuse I like to track the weather and it help me what weather like. I got Facebook weather page and I would like be on charge 5 to update my followers keep up the date.
Honestly, just how many votes do you need to add the weather app and some new clock faces to charge 5? I might be returning mine as I have my eye on a really cool Garmin.
I agree. Up to almost 200 votes. I can’t believe it’s that hard to program a weather app. I was going to purchase the Charge 5 on release day but after seeing how stripped of features it was (less features than charge 4) I held off. I’m waiting for a weather app. No weather app, no purchase. Going on 6 months and still waiting ….
Here is my vote. Pls add weather app first and music control second. This will be the best available tracker/smartwatch if we have both those features.
One of the reasons why I sent back the Withings Scanwatch was that Fitbit has a weather app. Now I get my new Fitbit 5 AND THE WEATHER APP IS GONE!!! 🤣 Please bring it back. I checked this every morning when dressing, every time I left the house to pick the right shoes etc. It's been a really useful feature
Hi@Kelvinkung, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback about the possibility of adding the Weather app to the Charge 5. I noticed that a similar feature suggestion already exists, so I’ve moved your posthere, this helps to keeps the boards more organized. Make sure to add your vote as well to support this suggestion, as this helps the team of developers to keep track of popularity and demand over time.
Thank you again for your participation in the Community!
Please, Please, Please. We need the weather app or at least the ability to get the weather from our phone's weather app on the device. Even low end tracker from other companies have weather. I love the look but without the functions it makes it less worth the price. Thanks
