It'd be nice to have a filter for the workouts. For example, a filter would allow me to compare all my runs without digging through weights/sports/walks/etc workouts (selected dates). This would make it much easier to track my progress.   Moderator Edit: Clarified subject and updated labels ... View more

I want to suggest you give more than one reward for group competition. That's what happens at the Olympics, so why not Fitbit? It acknowledges and gives incentives to those who are beginners or have circumstances (like travel or illness) that impact getting steps.   Moderator Edit: Updated label ... View more

My Fitbit has been a major motivator. In that vein, I would love to be able to enter a distance goal and start date (such as distance across my state, 1,000,000 steps, etc) and be able to see my progress against that goal. Since this would be multi-day or longer term goal, it doesn't need to be displayed on the device itself -- in star just on the mobile app and website dashboard. Would want to be able to name the goal 1,000,000 steps in 2016, walk across the US, etc). Since there is definitely a social aspect to Fitbit challenges: *. Would be great to be able to share progress (Facebook, Twitter) *. Would be really awesome to invite others -- 10? -- to join that goal with you Ideally, I'd want those goal challenges to be saved so I could review again. (See how I did with 1 million steps in future years). Moderator Edit: Clarified subject and updated label ... View more

One of my high school students, and a neighbor, lost his leg above the knee in a hunting accident. This was just 2 months ago. He is amazing in the way he is handling his new life challenge.   I recently asked Fitbit if they had a program to donate appropriate devices to such individuals to help them with recovery and motivation. Fitbit asked me to post my question here so I can get the Community involved and to hopefully bring support to this idea. If you have thoughts on this and would like to share them with Fitbit please do so.     Moderator edit: Labels & title ... View more

I have 31 friends on Fitbit. I am in multiple challenges. I have a Garmin Vivofit 2 and a Fitbit Charge HR. I would love it if I could go back and forth between devices and have my Vivofit 2 add my steps with Sync Solver to the challenges I am in. I am one of the only ones that has a Vivofit 2, but I like wearing it because of the year long battery and interchangable bands. PLEASE FITBIT, ALLOW 3RD PARTY INTEGRATION FOR STEPS IN CHALLENGES!!! A LOT OF PEOPLE WANT THIS FEATURE!!! ... View more

That I go to either extreme, working out pushing 175 or with a sleeping heart rate that drops close to 45, a finer detailed heart rate graph is important . The range of numbers on the dashboard (and app especially) are very unclear to read. The ability to open and zoom in to a specific time with rate would be the best plus Fitbit could offer. That the heart rate option is the primary reason for buying the fitbit charge, focus on the ability to use it at its maximal is needed. I am rather disappointed with the way it is now and would concider looking into a new monitor even though all other aspects of Fitbit are quite good. Love my "bit", please improve the graph!   Moderator edit: Topic and Subject for clarity. ... View more

Please add the ability to swipe left/right through daily pages in the iOS App dashboard. I frequently want to browse my recent activity from the dashboard. The arrows on the updated UI are a small improvement from the tiny arrows right next to the edit action in the old UI, but they're still suboptimal.   Ideally, the days of the dashboard would scroll horizontally with left & right swipes (just like scrolling left/right through days in the iOS built-in Calendar App's day view), but please don't let any issues with animation support prevent you from simply adding gesture listeners to increment/decrement the day of the dashboard with any left/right swipe gesture on the iOS dashboard screen.   Thanks!   Moderator Edit: Clarified subject ...

Recently, you told me that my fibit charge HR is empty in the morning when I was sitting in the train on my way to work.. that was about 10 hours too late.   1. Fitbit knows when I go to bed 2. Fitbit knows how long its battery is going to last 3. Fitbit is a vibration alarm on my wrist 3. Please use these three pieces together and inform me 1 hour before I go to bed to charge my charge HR (optionally you could learn the best times for charging and offer to remind me at times you think it would be best to charge my fitbit).   Moderator edit: added labels  ...

I feel that using Bluetooth, you should be able to remotely vibrate your Fitbit via the app, mine has fallen off my wrist too many times and this would have saved hours of searching     Moderator edit: Added label ... View more

I have an tangerine Fitbit Charge HR, but the tracker icon in the app shows a black one. It would be a nice touch, and increase the immediate recognition a bit, if I could have it match the color of my tracker. Automatically would be cool, if the tracker knows that detail about itself, but manually would be fine. ... View more

Allow users to build their "Activity Score" by completing goals and challenges.This could be a single number available as a tile that represents a person in terms of his/her physical activity. Points would be awarded to the users in several ways: 1. Completing any 3 of the daily goals - 1 point 2. Winning 2 people challenge - 1 point 3. Winning 3 people challenge - 1st place 2 points, second place 1 point 4. Winning 4 people challenge - 1st place 3 points, second place 2 points, third place 1 point. (up until 10 people) 5. +1 point for every 5k steps above 10,000   I believe that building and maintaining something that is sustainable would be a really strong motivation point for everyone.   Getting extra points by participating in challenges would motivate people to try them and do everything to get the extra points.   You get badges and complete daily goals which is great, but I feel like all those achievements could be converted to a single number that could represent you. This way you could appreciate all those achievements at once, because all your effort added up to create this single number. You could also more accurately compare your physical activity to your friends and try to catch up with them if you're behind.   In addition, I would reset the points every year, just as everyone gets their new year resolutions set which would give everyone equal chance and a fresh start.   Accumulated points should be available in the app as a tile, showing a Leaderboard among friends, city, and a community group joined. This would encourage users to get more familiar with all the community groups offered.   I hope you guys like the idea. Jerry   Moderator Edit: Labels. ... View more

A manual lap counter with the physical button acting as the clicker would incorporate what runners need and want in a running watch into the fitbit. A touch screen button is inaccurate when you are running quickly and no smart watch I've seen has it ... View more

Most of us get our blood work tested at least once a year (or should be) if not more. Is there a way to integrate tracking of blood work results - basics like LDL/HDL Cholesterol, Triglycerides,...  to use as a guage to overall improved health? What's the point of tracking steps walking from one beer to the next? Thanks!!! I see a similar idea delcined in the past. Why declined?   Moderator Edit: Added Labels ... View more

I would like to see a chart of annual steps possibly with a line that shows where you are in relation with the same time the previous year. It would give users a goal to increase steps from the previous year. Thank you.   Moderator Edit: Clarified subject and updated label ... View more

Would love to see a "Beat Yesterday" feature on Blaze.  Especially in the running tracker...it would show you a side by side view of how you are running compared to your last run...mile by mile.  This would encourage you to go a little bit faster and go a little bit farther than your last run...while you are doing it.   Like your last run is chasing you and you need to stay in front!    Moderator edit: changed label & title     ...

My idea is that the fitbits should be kinetic. Fitbit is all about being active, if you have to take your Fitbit off all the time to charge your activity tracker will be stop start. If the Fitbit charged with your movement and activness you would never have to take it off. With the technology that is in watches now this is defiantly possible.    Moderator Edit: Clarified subject and updated label ... View more

Hello Fitbit people 🙂   Why is the food database have such poor content?   I regularly travel between the UK and Russia and have found that the food database is not perfect for the UK and non-existent for Russia. Even in the countries I stop it in between UK and RU don't have a good food database.   As a result of this I've started using myfitnesspal to log my foods as so far it is 100% perfect.   Examples: Last weekend I went to McDonalds in Moscow and had a Greek Mac. Does this exist in the Fitbit database? No. Does it exist in the myfitnesspal database? Yes, there is even a Belgian variant listed! Recently I had a box of 3 KFC Chicken Strips. Does KFC Chicken Strips exist in the Fitbit database? No. Does it exist in the myfitnesspal database? Yes it does. Come on Fitbit people, you sell fitness trackers and calorie counting is a huge part of that process. myfitnesspal don't and yet they can afford a much MUCH better food database.   Find out where they got their database from and buy and impliment the same.

As competitor products have become available that provide public BLE api's, I feel it is important that a way to communicate with Fitbit devices is provided through BLE. There is a clear desire from consumers for this service, a quick Google search shows some consumers have even spent the time attempting to reverse engineer the BLE protocol. I hope you will seriously consider opening an api or even making some closed source mobile SDKs for accessing the Devices across bluetooth ... View more

Sometimes when I go for a run I like to see when I'm halfway done so I can turn around, but I have to keep looking at my watch to see when it reaches my intended halfway mark. For example, let's say I want to go on a 30 minute run, 15 minutes out and 15 minutes back. I don't think it'd be very efficient to have to keep looking at your time. I think a feature should be added that allows you to set custom vibrations after a certain amount of minutes. Let's just say I want the watch to vibrate after 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 12 minutes, and 16 minutes. I think you should be able to set small "alarms" for you once the stopwatch reaches that amount of time. I really hope you put this into consideration! Thanks!   Moderator Edit: Added Labels ...

I love this new feature, but it seems that there should be two schedules: one for the week days and one for weekends, or perhaps that the app should allow you to signify what your work week is vs your non work-days. This flexibility would give a better, more accurate reflection of Active time, I feel. Any possibility of additional scheduling options?   Moderator edit: labels ... View more

It would be great to see a feature where fitbit let you know how on track you are stepwise from previous day at same time, or to choose a best day. For example: Yesterday at 2:15pm, you had 5,500 steps.You have 5,200 today. Go walk 300 steps to stay on track!   Users could pick to choose to stay on track with previous day or pick a best step day for extra motivation   Moderator Edit: Added Labels ...

I'd like to suggest an iPhone Reminders notification on my Fitbit. Currently, my Fitbit only alerts me of Calendar notifications, but it would be nice if it did the same for Reminders in the iPhone Reminders app.     Moderator Edit: Added Labels ... View more

Imagine, if you will, waking up in the morning and syncing your fitbit to your smart phone. Your sleep dashboard tells you that you might want to try getting to bed early tomorrow because you missed your sleep goal by an hour.   Then you log your breakfast -- a giant egg McMuffin breakfast sandwich -- and your Calorie dashboard tells you that you might wanna lay off the calories for lunch so you can have a substantial dinner without surpassing your calorie goal.   You go on your usual morning run, and your heartrate tile tells you that your average heart rate was 5 beats lower than last time -- keep it up. And blah blah blah, so on, so forth until you go to bed.   The next morning, you have a "morning briefing" that tells you what your overall stats -- and suggestions to improve, health warnings, and things to watch -- from the day before were.   Basically, artificially intelligent algorithms that explain to you what your data mean instead of leaving it to the FitBit user to draw conclusions himself.   Moderator's edit: Labels ...

As someone who lost my tracker and waited a month for the new Alta, I can tell you how painful it was to manually log 10k steps/day for the month in between to ensure that a full month of inactivity didn't harm my averages.   I'd request that days with <100 steps or some similar threshold are ignored in the overall average daily steps, as it's 99% likely someone didn't wear their fitbit that day, lost it, or it ran out of batteries. This shouldn't affect the average! Alternatively, being able to either manually select days to exclude from data OR easily log ongoing average steps for a range of dates (e.g. if my running total is 8900 average daily steps, record that for dates X/X/XX - X/X/XX) would be hugely helpful for those who lose their tracker, forget it on vacation or a trip, etc.     Moderator edit: added labels ...

I would be very interested in a compatible app to help track migraines. I would love to see it sync with the Fitbit sleep tracking as well as the water intake and food intake. To have the app pull the info from the Fitbit along with a function to track migraines, their triggers, what brings relief, etc. I was told to post this here in hopes that others would post their ideas and support.   Moderator Edit: Added Labels ...

FitBit can already sends out weekly progress emails, but when my Charge HR stopped syncing properly (why is a separate issue), I didn't realise until weeks later - at which point I was missing some of the historical data as the wristband capacity is limited. I'd have liked FitBit to have emailed me after (say) a week without any sync activity, to alert me to this problem and encourage me to sync before any activity data would be lost.   Moderator Edit: Updated label ...

I'd like to see a feature similar to what was added to the Microsoft band recently, where there is the ability to use gps in a power saving mode where it periodically samples gps rather than continually tracking. This could apply to both gps (surge) and connected gps (using phone). It may be appropriate to limit this to certain activities (surge) eg walking & hiking use sampling while cycling, running etc use continous monitoring.   Moderator Edit: Added Labels ... View more
