I like weather app on charge 5 beacuse I like to see the forecast in my area off my watch. I like get alerts out of my friends about the severe weather. I got my charge 5 Christmas 2021. I am disponted not have weather app on the charge 5. I can see it any time.
This is pretty sad. You would think that a newer version of the product would have at least would have the same functions as the previous version. I tried out the older WYZE fitness band which has been replaced by a newer version had everything the charge 4 had but in color and yet the weather schedule and calendar out for 2 to 3 days. I'm thinking of seriously blowing the dust off of it and trying it again. It sits just slightly higher on your wrist VS the charge 5 but I'm getting the data I want and need. It's ashamed that Fitbit is still remaining silent on this topic. I have even called them and expressed my concerns with no real positive response.
Charge 4 had a weather app. Charge 5 should have improved on it, not removed it. When minutes are scarce and one is indoors and the weather changes often and drastically, seeing weather conditions at a glance is valuable. Besides weather on a clock face, I also wish for weather forecast alerts.

Sorry the comments and suggestions were related to having 2 to 3 days of weather and calendar events screen as in the Charge 4. Nothing related to Spotify.
Please let us all know what the status is on adding the weather app back to the Charge 5. . Previous Charge versions had it. Why would you delete such a useful function? Please tell us WHEN you are adding it back and to the Charge 5 that we already have - not just a stock answer thanking us for the idea. In addition, a clock fact the clearly shows the current temperature would be helpful Thank you for t aking action on this. Another vote YES.
Yes yes yes! Please please please add weather to the charge five. Why wasn’t it added to begin with? It was mostly on all the other devices. I just took this out of the box too and am super disappointed that I can’t have weather one this. Please use add it.
Please add the weather app to the Charge 5. That is the only thing missing and without that it seams that is a step down from the Charge 4/. Cuz the Charge 4 had weather and I miss that. I thought when I had to upgrade it would off had everything like Charge 4 and a little bit more so it would be better.
I just switched over from a cheaper Samsung Galaxy Fit 2 that had a weather feature, and I'm pretty let down that my Charge 5 doesn't have it. I use weather info all the time to make daily decisions about managing when to exercise, let my kids go outside, and also temperature control measures in my home. I try to leave my phone in another room on weekends so I can focus on my family, I do not want to have to go check it. Adding my voice to this list, please add weather to the Charge 5. I'm considering going back to a Samsung wearable; it's that important to me.
I want the weather app back on there. This now has GPS filled into it so you don't have to carry your phone with you for tracking and walks and running. So now we have no phone with us we'd like to see the weather on our charge 5. And you might as well just carry her phone with us too so we can check out the weather you take one thing away and put on another want the weather back
I’ve just set up my new Charge 5 tonight and am very disappointed indeed that it doesn’t have a weather app. I would use it daily - it is useful to know what the weather is like elsewhere in the country especially when you are planning to travel there. This is my vote for adding a weather app!
Yes... Come On People... Weather on the charge 5 is a must have... How come it's not there yet when you have it on other models it can't be that hard ....
