@LizzyFitbit It has been over a year since your "Watch this space for status updates" response on 09/13/2021. Can we please get an update? If it's not even being considered, just tell us so that we can swap devices accordingly.
Yes, please. This makes the Charge 5 a massive downgrade from my previous Charge units and I'd appreciate knowing whether or not I need to return or sell this to get something usable or not.
@LizzyFitbit I just upgraded to charge 5. It’s quite disappointing there is no weather app anymore. Please inform of this will be taken into consideration or not. And how many votes do you need to add this to your next release?
I have my Fitbit charge 5 from last Christmas 2021. I am big weather fan. I like to put on charge 5 beacuse I like to check the weather everyday even if severe weather. I don't understand why change 3 and 4 have weather not change 5?
I can't believe there is no weather app on my charge 5. I had it before I upgraded to the 5. My old Charge 3 let me quickly check if the weather was suitable for one kind of exercise or another, to see how I should dress, and whether to carry an umbrella, etc. Please put it back in our functions. Please.
I assumed coming from Charge 4 to Charge 5 that weather would not go away... looks like I'll be returning my Charge 5 and finding something else. Very unfortunate!
WOW! 616 Up-votes is still not enough. I'm sorry fitbit, but this makes me sick and tired. Forget the up-votes I wonder what would happen if everybody returned their fitbit charge 5 and switched to the charge 4 again. Would the charge 5 stop existing, or would they get so overwhelmed with returns and charge 4 replacements that they would get so busy to the point they would just agree to fix the charge 5? Im sorry... how many up-votes dose it take? If all 616 of us made a new account and each had 1 friend on fitbit up-vote this could we tipple the number of up-vote's? Would this draw attention? This is STUPID!!!!!!! Im sorry if this reminded me of fitbit:

Hi@Paulyd2021, 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, this helps the team of developers to keep track of popularity and demand over time.
Thank you again for your participation in the Community.
How stupid is to remove features from a device when it is upgraded!
in case our technical friends in Fitbit and Google don’t know, when you make new models, especially in the same series, you would add additional features and NOT remove them. This is a very basic concept of an upgrade!
it is very silly to remove weather, relax and Agenda apps in Charge 5. Please return them in next firmware update. Thank you
I got Fitbit charge 5 for Christmas 2021 I am happy for it. I what to see weather app on the Fitbit charge 5. I like to see the weather everyday and watch for severe weather all year around. I don't understand why they have weather on Charge 3 and 4 but not Charge 5? I like the weather and I like to track it.
Update, I swapped to a Galaxy watch. Best of luck. The way that Fitbit charges you to unlock features in a device you already own and the lack of a weather app were dealbreakers for me.
I had a charge 3. It had weather and three different cities. Also was good for weather if you're out jogging or biking you can see what was going on. Charge 5 has none of that. It's got a nice screen to look at wow. Has a heart monitor it is very inconvenient way of doing it. Also the GPS doesn't work half the time as far as mileage goes. The screen is nice it's nice and colorful big bright and you can see it and so far it hasn't scratched at all compared to my charge 3 which scratched very easily make a charge 3 if a better screen and you've got a whole nice thing going charge five needs a lot of adding on it
Hi @wildjuly, thanks for sharing this suggestion about adding the weather app to the Charge 5 with us. Because this idea was already requested in the Feature Suggestions board, I’ve moved your post here. This will help us to make sure the suggestions don't get confused, or split a popular vote.
