In certain circumstances the LED is very bright. Controlling the brightness level via app could save battery power which could be used on having the display on for longer.   Moderator edit: labels. ... View more

Can the firmware and app be updated to have an auto pause feature for when you stop to cross a road or tie a lace during workout and walk and run etc. That would be fab. Moderator Edit: Added Labels ... View more

Is there a way of getting recorded activities (in my case specific walks/routes) to show up on the dashboard on my laptop in the Recent Exercise tile?  I tried manually logging one, but it calculated the steps wrong and then only showed time and calories on the dashboard tile, so this isn't an acceptable solution for me. I can see my recorded walks if I go to the 'Activity History' section of the 'activity log', but it would be nice to see them, with the same details, on the dashboard.   Moderator edit: Labels  ...

I know you sell a scale, but I already have a Withings scale and dont want to change, Can you please integrate the dashboard with data from Withings. Thanks   Moderator Edit: Updated label   ... View more

I had the FitBit Force last year, and when I used the automatic activity tracker (pressing the button before the workout) it would show up on my profile like this with my stats:     Now I have the Charge HR and when I run, I still press the button like I did before, but it doesn't show up as an activity record; it only shows up as a logged activity and I don't get the same breakdown that I would before. I would like to be able to get my detailed statistics back, like speed, pace, distance, etc. and I would like for them to show up on my profile with the graphs.   Moderator Edit: Added Labels ...

Not technically a feature request, just a request for Fitbit to make an effort to review our ideas in a timely fashion. I am sure whoever contributes ideas and comments here wants to have some kind of sense that Fitbit is considering their thoughts (whether or not they are accepted or rejected).   As it stands the idea statuses are: IDEA STATUSES New (2,342) Reviewed By Moderator (250) Under Consideration (36) Implemented (40) Declined (21) Existing Feature (65) Duplicate (96) Archived (0) Can Fitbit moderators/developers address the 2,342 new ideas?

I have recently bought a Sony experience Z3 compact and have downloaded the fitting app. I would like to buy a fitting one but have discovered that fitting does not support the z3. I think this is odd considering that the z2 is supported. Could anyone let me know if fitting is considering supporting the z3 in the near future. If not is it possible to sync data from the device to the phone manually?   Moderator Edit: Clarified subject and updated label     ... View more

Minor first world problem, but it'd be nice if there was a way to just hit a button in the app and reinvite people from an older challenge (if they are on your own friends' list) to a new one. Versus having to go and check everyone's name manually.   Moderator Edit: Added Labels ... View more

As we know, there are only two usb ports on MacBook Pro with Retina, and it has built-in bluetooth 4.0 support. So could you let us use Fitbit Connect on Mac without dongle?   Moderator Edit: Updated label ... View more

Hi,   Just taken delivery of my Surge and am loving it! One thing I'd like to see is Kayaking/canoeing added as an activity on the Surge. As it is water resistant and splash proof (and you shouldn't be getting that wet!), this should be OK. I am particularly interested in the tracking opportunities offered by the repetitive arm movement - this should be easy for the Surge to recognise and would enable some really great stats - strokes per minute, strokes taken etc, and combined with the GPS function you could work out stroke efficiency, distance per stroke and maybe even give feedback on how well the stroke is done (e.g. more vertical entry v's sloppy strokes).   Could be a quick win for the developers?   Many thanks!   Moderator edit: updated subject for clarity and labels. ...

It would be nice if you had the option that when your tracker recognizes you are asleep, that notifications are disabled. That way you are not awaken in the middle of the night by a text message that could have waited until morning. ... View more

Sleep tracking is great. However at the moment the data is useless as is. It would be nice to be able to see what the stats were the day prior to that sleep data.   For example, Monday I had the best sleep of the week. Why? I am not sure. But if I could see that Sunday  was one of my most active days, I could tell that Monday's sleep was probably correlated! Someway for us to overlay the prior days stats to the sleep data would go a long way!   Moderator Edit: Added Labels ... View more

As a workout enthusiast I would like to view my heart rate on my Charge HR throughout my workout without having to hit the side button.  I would like to see an option that can be set to "keep display on during workouts".   Moderator edit: Updated title for clarity and labels. ... View more

I guess this has been submitted before, but in case it hasn't, can inactivity be tracked? I don't just mean a vibration if you've been sat down for too long, but also on the dashboard a measure to show periods of inactivity, to really give you a full picture of your day.   Moderator Edit: Updated label ...

It would be amazing if, given the data you enter on your phone and data your fitbit collects, for your colories consumed or calories remaining to be displayed on your fitbit display. Please enable this!!     Moderator edit:  Labels and subject for clarity. ... View more

Using any Fitbit with an accelerometer (and even moreso the Surge with a GPS), it would be extremely helpful if the dashboard could make an intelligent guess at the type of activity someone is doing based on motion detected.     For example, you might be able to tell the difference between walking, running on a treadmill, running outdoors, cycling, and using an elliptical based on the combination of velocity and motions captured.  Even if you can't guess with complete accuracy, you could learn over time how to associate velocity + motion with specific exercises when people specify on the dashboard or mobile app what the exercise was.  Since most people will have a small number of exercises that are their personal most common, you could learn over time to make pretty accurate guesses for each user.  This would make using my Fitbit much more convenient that having to go into the app every day and correct the exercise types for that day.   I note that some of Fitbit's competitors are already moving in this direction.

Just like the pebble has the option to light the screen by shaking your wrist in a forward back motion. Just many times I have needed to light the screen and only have one hand available. Could be an option in the settings. Also a all in one watch face that would have time, date, steps, and maybe HR.   Moderator edit: added labels ... View more

Considering most of the important cardio equipment is represented in the Exercise list, I think it's more than justifiable to add a stationary rowing machine to the list. Almost every gym in America contains at least one or more Concept 2 rower as it is a total body and low impact method of Cardio. It's one of my favorites and I'm sure I am not the only user that is a bit disappointed that is not represented. Moderator edit: Edited title for clarity and added labels. ... View more

Dear FitBit:   I know there are a lot of FitBit users who would really like FitBit to be compatabile with the Strava.com website and app.  Currently FitBit works with RunKeeper, MapMyRun (and MapMyRide), but not with Strava.  Strava provides much more details than RunKepper and MapMyRun and is also a more bike-friendly app than MapMyRide.  I posted this same request on your Facebook and have sent emails to you as well.  As you can see from your forum and from googling "FitBit sync to Strava" there are many people complaining that this is not already a feature.  PLEASE PLEASE work on this feature..... it would be very welcomed and only make me more of a FitBit supporter.   Sincerely, Randy Wood A FitBit Surge Owner / Biker / Runner   Moderator Edit: Added Labels   ...

When receiving a call the vibration should continue for the duration of the alert ("ringing") on your phone, with the option to "silence" the notification by pressing the button, like the silent alarm function.  In its current state, it's way too easy to miss an incoming call.   Moderator edit: labels. ...

Please, please, please add a barcode scanner to the Android app.  I recently bought a Fitbit One to replace my BodyBugg since the BodyBugg is so bulky and because its software costs $6.95/month.  I have been using MyFitnessPal to log food, and I thought another benefit to the Fitbit would be to use the same software for everything, but I cannot use the Fitbit software until a barcode scanner is added.  Please give us the same consideration that you give iPhone users!     Moderator edit: Labels ...

One of the best aspects of the Fitbit app is that it plays nice with all platforms, and it encourages the social aspect of exercise.  I love the fact that I can brag about my latest badge, and then share that on Facebook or Twitter.     I would really love it if you could share your running activies that you've done with MobileRun on Facebook.  Right now there is no share button or option, which is very limiting.  This is the only thing that is keeping me from leaving RunKeeper!   Thanks! ...

Can you please add social sharing to https://www.fitbit.com/badges/all - and not just "share the page" - I want to be able to share individual badges.     The auto-generated email doesn't allow for badge sharing, so you have to screenshot it and then post the screenshot to Facebook. If you miss the email - no badge sharing for you! Very annoying.   Please add social sharing to invidual badges on the all badges page. Thank you.   Moderator edit: added label ... View more
