After sending a message to Fitbit I was directed here. I have an Alta HR. Even though it has a heart rate monitor it is not compatable with the new zone challenge. It should be compatible with all devices. Moderator edit: Clarified subject

Hello Team Fitbit! Could we please change the text from G'Day (typically Australian) to Kia Ora? (Maori greeting) Just makes a bit more sense in a New Zealand context "G'Day! You've earned the NewZealand badge You've walked 1,593 lifetime kilometers—the entire length ofNew Zealand. And while that country's native bird the Kiwi might be flightless, you, my friend, are really taking off." With thanks, Viv 🙂 Moderator Edit: Updated label

I love the detailed sleep analysis in the Premium feature and I only ever use that portion. Please Consider having a Separate Premium Sleep Module At a lower subscription rate. Moderator Edit: Clarified subject

The adventures feature is wonderful, however being able to get adventures based on my GPS or location would be ideal. Maybe an integration into trip advisor to mention the hikes in my specific area or the upcoming fun walks or runs available would work as well. However having adventures based on a NYC location for someone in London makes this feature useless, and gives the impression that the Alta HR or Fitbit is only concerned about US audiences.

I was just about to go to bed when I got the low battery notification, so now I gotta leave my band to charge for a bit before I can turn it. If it's at all feasible, it would be such a big improvement if you could customise battery level alerts. I would for instance like to be alerted an hour before my normal bed time, so that I could have time to charge without postponing my sleep, if the battery is getting low. (I value the sleep analysis feature). It might also be useful if you could decide how low the battery could go before it sends out the low battery notification, for planning reasons. Or display battery levels on the app (PC and phone) at all times, so that it won't come as a surprise. Moderator Edit: Added Labels

Hi I think it can be a good thing to have options in simulator to - change locales (language, 12/24h format) - force a given date/time - force a given battery level, steps and other activities data This will help to test and reproduce cases for app/clockface thx

czandor · ‎10-29-2020

On fitbitOS4 (Ionic, Versa, Versa2) I was able to swipe right to clear new notifications as they came in. On Sense (and probably on Versa3) when a notification comes in, I first have to tap on it to expand it and then click Clear.

Is it possible to update the software to enable the Surge countdown timer to operate when in Run or Exercise mode? This is vital for timed 'run and rest' and other interval training. Thank you Moderator edit: Subject for clarity and labels.

Some women (like myself) suffer from knee/leg pain during periods, so I think being able to track that in the fitbit app would be helpful for me and other women. Moderator Edit: Clarified subject

IceMan1910 · ‎05-07-2019

Since you have limited support for European Banks a really nice solution could be the support of the Curve Card / App. Basically the Card (https://www.curve.app/en/) allows the user to charge any card that is added to the App (basically all Visa and Mastercard cards), using just one card. If you supported the addition on the Curve card on Fitbit pay, you would automatically support virtually all banks and cards in Europe. Moderator Edit: Clarified subject

Dericslab · ‎01-06-2016

Hi Please can you look into adding more gym activies to the Activities section? Items like the power plate, and exercises like pull ups are not listed, and adding items such as power plate seems to be a difficult task, since you need the calorie count. It would actually be nice if "all" gym activities could be added to the list. For me, this just makes sense. Thanks! Moderator Edit: Added Labels

Truefreedom · ‎01-11-2018

Adventure races a absolutely wonderful and much more exciting than workweek hustles however I am not knocking WWH's as they are great as well. Example, I have a South to North Rim Hike and Camping adventure my son and I share and I took some great pictures along the way. Would be really neat to be able to map that adventure out in a app and add pictures and even estimated steps which could be updated by the user community if necessary. Its the views that are inspiring in all of these adventures and to have a diverse community built set would be engaging for your current and prospective users. Keep up the great work Fitbit

Rich_Laue · ‎05-21-2018

It has been shown that when properly used, hiking poles add to the safety and comfort while hiking and is highly encouraged. Unfortunately due to the fact that the tracker is on the arm and the hiking pole keeps the arm from swinging in a way that steps will not be properly counted while hiking with poles. Please update your algorithm so that it will work while the user is hiking with poles . I noticed that there is no label that is appropriate for my suggestion. This feature should be added to all of the arm based trackers. Moderator edit: Labels

JTCOLO · ‎10-20-2020

Change calendar to allow easy differentiation between events without clicking on each individual date. Maybe with colors I.e. 1 for headache & another for periods instead of just a black dot for each. Or a summary that lists the dates on which each event occurs and the number of occurrences for the month. Moderator Edit: Clarified subject

Emmac01 · ‎04-07-2021

You should be able to choose a food plan than requires weight/muscle main that requires a calorie surplus. You should be able to enter goal calories not deficit goal cals. Only an available is weight loss or maintainance. Also to be able to manually put in your BMR as fitbit drastically under estimates mine making mine very invalid.

coollittlealien · ‎09-27-2018

I feel users need the ability to edit their exercises on the web dashboard. For a long time, I had been following closely the feature suggestion Have the Ability To Edit Manually Logged Exercises (which since has had its name and description changed). During that time, I'm not sure when, the feature was made available on the Windows app. Then that feature suggestion was marked as released, but only for iOS users. A new feature suggestion post Ability To Edit Exercise Start and End time for Android Users was made by the moderator, but after a very short time (only 3 months compared to the 3.5 years the non-OS specific suggestion was posted), it was marked as "not currently planned." This leaves Android users who do not also have iOS or Windows devices in the lurch. With this feature not planned to be added to Android, we still deserve the option to edit start and end times for our exercises.

Can you please add functionality to the GAM to allow deletion of projects that have not been published to the Fitbit App Gallery.

GlennyPennie · ‎09-26-2018

I have only just received my Fitbit Charge 2 today and want to integrate it into my live streams, I just don't know how..... I like to stream games in general and I think it would be cool to be able to integrate my heart rate into my streams when I am playing "Beat Saber" (which REALLY gets the blood pumping!) or when I play Horror games (I also have jump scare alerts turned on) OR just when it's a REALLY intense PvP game close to a win! So, even if it's a site that shows your heart rate in real time, app or API. That'd be great.

adinutzyc21 · ‎07-25-2020

Some apps ( like Citizen or NOVID ) are using bluetooth on the phone to anonymously exchange encounter information and trace how many encounters with people who tested positive you had. This requires having your phone on you and your bluetooth on, which I generally don't. Seems like my Fitbit was made for this.

Corvus7corax · ‎12-28-2017

Hello Wonderful Developers, In the Fitbit app I want the ability to add my own tracked goal that functions exactly like the water app (would be a re-skin of the water app) to track any other counted thing in my life. For example I'm an author and want to track words written every day: I would click the plus at the bottom of the app and choose to add new goal. I would be prompted to define the goal: I would name the goal (Words) I would define the units (words) (it could be a prompt for 2 character units ie wd if required). I would define "quick add" small medium and large increments (100, 500 and 1000) I would define the goal total (2000) I would be prompted to save the goal. It would be added to my dashboard at the bottom. The associated icons would be a nice generic shooting star to symbolize users following their dreams. The goal would be tracked like water intake with the user adding quantities through the day, and a celebration when the total is reached. In a perfect world the user could add 3 user defined tracked goals. It could be used to track sit-ups, romantic encounters, minutes spent cleaning, vacation dollars saved, or be used to curb undesirable habits with intentionally low goals. Following your dreams is an important part of a balanced life which I think fits with the Fitbit ethos. Tracked goals hep users reach their dreams.

It would be great if the Sense allowed for notifications to have different vibrations. Moderator Edit: Clarified subject

colbert7 · ‎11-29-2018

We have began using an app to track medical stats....BP, oxygen level, respirations, medications, a place for notes, etc. It would be wonderful if these features could be added to the Fitbit app or enable a sync between Samsung Health and Fitbit so all information can be kept together Moderator Edit: Clarified subject

Changwei · ‎12-28-2021

Show exercise histories in exercise and today app ,show each exercise by a summary including metrics like azm ,duration, heart rate and calories burned.it’s even better if the route can be shown on map on watch.

bzgirl21 · ‎09-15-2018

I started a new eating plan on a Monday but didn't think to set my goal until Thursday or Friday. It would be great if you would allow us to select a start date (even if it was in the past) vs making the start date the day we enter the goal. I am missing pounds that I've lost prior to actually entering the goal 😞 Demotivator ...

Snwngel1981 · ‎07-04-2018

I think the ability to dim the display on the ACE would be helpful. It is extremely bright when a child is wearing it to bed and it lights up when they move their arm too hard. Or possibly the feature to turn off the display at certain times while still tracking the stats.

marexanne · ‎09-19-2016

I just recently purchased a FitBark for my dog. It's very similar to FitBit except it's for dogs!! The app is amazing and the FitBark app allows us to sync our FitBits, however the FitBit app has yet to sync with the FitBark. It would be so cool to be able to add our little 4 legged friends into FitBit challenges with their fellow human friends on the FitBit app. Please let this become a dream come true!!

I'm sure this horse has been beaten dead, but I don't want to have to enable 802.11b or g on my wi-fi router. That's old tech and causes interference issues with the other residences immediately around us. 802.11 or even better, 802.11ac wireless for the Aria please, then I'll consider it!

Timeout is a useful feature to save battery life, but a stopwatch should never timeout. Just think of it, you are timing something (like a nurse timing a patient's vitals) and suddenly the stopwatch goes black. By the time you wake the watch up, it may be too late to get an accurate reading. This non-timeout stopwatch feature works on the Ionic. Moderator Edit: Clarified subject and updated label

I was wondering if Fitbit can detect the possibility of depression based on the activity level of the user and his/her sleep patterns. Having enough data from depressed and non-depressed individuals, it may be possible to train a deep neural network model that can detect the anomaly in such patterns and try to guess the possibility of depression or fatigue in people. This can be a very attractive feature to the people who suffer from depression and also their family members. Because some forms of depression come in episodes and there is a chance that the depressed person will harm himself/herself during that period without knowing that those feelings are due to being depressed and not the reality of life. This feature can also be a good marketing point and will attract a lot of attention because it will show that Fitbit cares about its users' well-being both physically and mentally. Thank you for considering and supporting the suggestions. Sincerely, Mo Moderator edit: Clarified subject
