Hi,
It’s about time that FitBit took notice of the complaints and got their act together and sorted out the issues with the DD/MM, missing Agenda and Weather apps

Just upgraded from Charge 3 to Charge 5. Did my research but didn’t even think I had to see if the weather app was still supported. What a disappointment when I checked before I went on my regular outdoor workout. Now everyday I’m reminded how my new Fitbit doesn’t do the complete job anymore. 😞

Yes on Black Friday I bought one charge 4 for wife and one charge 5 for me. Honestly charge 4 seems to get it together more in terms of features. Weather really is one of those key features that could make our break for me. Thankfully I bought mine from Costco and have long return policy. I’d say if by February I don’t see fitbit earmarking weather app as future update, gonna say bye bye

Yes please on the weather app! I loved my charge 3 but the screen sadly went dark. So upgraded to C5 and assumed the weather app was there. Please add it for Charge 5!

Yes, it needs a weather app. I’m considering going back to my $35 Amazon watch that had weather, steps, sleep tracking, and up to 10 alarms.

Charge 5 needs access to the weather app. Removing the weather app is a step in the wrong direction.

I just received my charge 5 today and was extremely disappointed to find it does not have the Weather app. Went from a Charge 3 whose screen was so dark, it was difficult to read, especially during the day. Looked weather multiple times during the night to see the temperature. Need to update ASAP!

I vote for weather too.  Was really surprised FitBit removed music capability and weather.  Did the team think these 2 features wouldn't be missed?

I just got a charge 5 for christmas. I must say I am not impressed at all. It does not have weather, it can’t control music, and I couldn’t add any cards to wallet even though my bank and the cardtype is on the list of banks that suppport fitbit pay. There are a big chance I am returning this… wow, what a let down this is.

I just noticed that you can't send a response to a rejected phone call!  Charge 3 gave choices to respond with emojis or a short message. This thing just keeps getting worse. It can't be that hard to add these features by way of apps!  I wish I had never bought this modell

I used mine all the time also. Need to return it as a standard app. Some of the new things could be eliminated vs what was on the Charge 3. Considering returning the Charge 5.

The weather app would be great!! Especially for outdoor workouts. It’s really disappointing that features from the charge 4 aren’t available on the charge 5. Received mine as a gift and probably going to return it and get a different watch.

I was shocked that there was no weather app on my new charge 5. I upgraded from a charge 3 & the charge 3 had a weather app that I used multiple times a day. Add the weather app to the charge 5!!!

Just got the charge 5 as a Christmas gift and was shocked to learn I couldn't access the weather app, no altimeter for stairs, no ability to add apps like Spotify, not the variety of clock faces available to the Sense! You can't get a good heart rate reading and a gps trading at the same time! Very disappointed! If not for the more readable screen, I would've returned it and put my charge 2 back on my wrist! Glad it was a gift, because the cost isn't justified by the utility! They really need to upgrade this system to provide more utility for the cost!

I agree to have a weather app, that and a calendar are the 2 things I lost and really used switching over from a Samsung. Please add these.

I was disappointed after getting the Charge 5 hearing did not have a Weather App. This is a good tracker but it would be a great health tracker if included a good Weather App. It would very convenient just looking down at the tracker and getting the temperature and weather forecast before and during a run or bicycle ride -all without dragging the phone.

I check the weather all the time. Miss that feature on the Charge 5.  I previously had the Versa 2.

Strongly agree. I was very disappointed to realize my new charge 5 didnt have the weather app, when my old charge 3 had it! What happened here?

I like to see charge 5 Fitbit in the future. I like to see the weather on my Fitbit and I know the weather it is.

Yes! We need a weather app for the Charge 5 since it barely includes any smartwatch features as of now!
