Weather App on the new Charge 5

Add a weather app for the Charge 5.
This is needed because:
Being able to know the current temperature and upcoming weather without having to get my phone out of my pocket is very useful. Even though I will still be getting a Charge 5 when it releases, it sure can’t hurt to get this suggestion up and running now and logging “thumbs up” for support. In 2021 I can’t name a wearable without “weather”.
I'd use this: Daily

They've done many updates on the Charge 5 but never the weather. I don't
think it's going to happen. The last update actually killed my Charge. I
had to purchase a new one. Read an article that it's happened to many
people.

Just got my charge 5 and complely disappointed about the lack of a weather app. I see there are close to 1000 up votes and 15 pages of comments BEGGING for this functionality (many saying they will ditch fitbit because of the lack of responsiveness. Why even have this forum if fitbit is clearly not listening to its customers?

This is my last fitbit because of my disappointment and their lack
of communication and reinstallation of a feature we had come to count on...
just saying.

Yes, we need a weather app on our fitness trackers, including the Charge 5.

I understand that. When the fitbit charge 6 come out. No weather on the
charge 6. We have to check our cell phone.

Weather won't happen on charge 6 either.

I'm not buying another fit bit because they removed the weather feature.
What were they thinking?
