All I'm asking for is a typical SMS like interface, where you can scroll up to see what you and the other person previously said, and it feels very natural. It might also be nice to add things like sharing a goal or picture personally with a person, but this is a bonus, all I need is something more intuitive and usable.
Okay. I'm gonna be honest. The Fitbit messaging system is the worst messaging system I have ever encountered. There are programs made in Batch by 9-year-olds that use only text and LAN connections that are better than the system currently in place. It's not even a difficult thing to do, so I'm not sure why it's the way it is. In case you haven't encountered this monstrosity of failure, here are some issues.
#1 - 100 character limit per message.
Is this a joke? What would the reasoning behind this even be? (my next issue brushes on the answer.) To have an actual conversation with somebody I have to send them 3 different messages in a row!
#2 - Notification-like messages.
Essentially, you only see what was sent to you via the small notification-like box. This is ridiculous as it's like an emailing platform, but without ANY need! I have to be Sherlock Holmes to figure out who is replying to what, which brings me to my next point,
#3 - Absolute confusion and chaos!
The core issue here is that you cannot view what you said. When someone replies with "Yes!" 6 days after you sent them the message... things get pretty confusing.
