Redesigned Sleep experience now in the Fitbit app

[RebeccaFitbit]

Hi everyone! Starting today, you may notice a new sleep experience in your Fitbit app. If you don't have it right away, please be patient as it can take some time to reach all users. 

Check out what’s new by going to the Fitbit Community blog. 

What do you think? Let us know!

The new look is hard to digest. I much prefer the old look with the cute graphics. Now it looks very boring and confusing. Please advise how to go back to the old look. It was my favorite part about the fitbit app. 😞

[userkatie]

Totally agree. Fitbit, PLEASE change it back to the old one! We hate it! 

I really miss the cute graphics the old one had, and how easy it was to read! 

[userkatie]

I miss the old version so much. Why change it? Everyone loved it. I really feel that this was a huge downgrade. The cute graphics were everything! It was so easy to read. The new update is confusing and I hate looking at it. I don’t like opening the app because of it. I used to check the app everyday to see my sleep score and the cute moon and suns. Now I don’t.

I totally agree that this new updated look is awful!  The colors do not have enough contrast.  The previous colors were much better.  Each time the look has been upgraded it becomes worse with less definition and more difficult to read and harder to find things.  Stop trying to improve on what works well.  It is also missing the easy to see avg. on the sleep stages.  It was all so simple before where everything on the sleep part could be read easily with oxygen rate just below. Now nothing is easily readable.  Please hire someone in charge that knows something about readable graphics.  Grade for the new look on Fitbit screens is an “F” from a graphic designer viewpoint.

The new look is awful. Please Fitbit read what most of the users are saying about this terrible, terrible visually lacking upgrade.  Each upgrade has only taken a visual and informational dive in the wrong direction.  I have read through most of the comments and could not agree more on what most of the users are saying about this last disruptive change that has been made especially to the sleep app section.  Who is in charge of this? Maybe they need to find a new line of work if they think this looks good.

I 100% agree with everything you have said.  There has been over 1000 votes to bring back old sleep I do wonder if anything will be done about it. So unnecessary 😒 this update and upsetting everyone 

[ferretmom]

Have been looking at this horrible new sleep graphic for a week and HATE it even more!  It is SO hard to read, too busy with the sleep stages descriptions right on the graph. And too many steps to see the different stages by day, week etc. It is extremely user unfriendly!!!!

I have seen NO positive comments on the change!

PLEASE, PLEASE BRING THE PREVIOUS VERSION BACK!!!!  

Or at least give users the choice of versions!

[Topulent]

I hate, hate hate the new update!!! From what I see on here other people feel the same way! Get rid of the last update, in fact the previous 2 updates made the app less trackable and much harder to decipher. Besides that it is totally unappealing to view!!! I have been using my Fitbit for a few years now and have really enjoyed it but, this makes me think about needing a change! Please go back to the old format!!!

[Topulent]

No way this is going to grow on me! I hate this new format!!!

[Greenvegansara]

Well that one is super big and ugly especially for a woman and it's way expensive!

I don't understand why fitbit or Google or whoever it is, is not listening to their customers!! Everyone hates this new design.

[DLHib]

The new metric format is awful!

[gullyj]

Hate the new upgrade!  The screens are now too hard to read with the light background, I can no longer check times for my periods of wakefulness or deep sleep, etc, and I can no longer check my daily benchmarks against others my age.  The previous version was great.  Why did you feel the need to fix what wasn't broken?  I see zero improvements.

[wfowfo77]

Chiming in to add my disappointment with the new charting on the sleep timeline app.  It's really difficult to follow, whereas the old version was great -- a quick glace was all I needed to find the information I wanted.  Please change it back.

[jammyleg]

It's obviously not being well received.  I also am one without the benchmark "typical range" boxes.  I wonder why they chose that spindly graph style that I've never seen before.  I don't need premium, but I don't need to get downgraded either.

[Dr.Doctor]

Yesterday, I was able to log into Dashboard and edit my sleep.

Today, when I tried to log into Dashboard in my desktop, I saw a message saying to log into the App?  Dashboard seems to no loner be an available option, WTF?  Did they actually do away with the online Dashboard? 

[anniebil]

dont like it all not user friendly.   nothing was wrong before why change whats not broken?

[Josinan]

I had the new graph style sleep pattern but today it’s reverted back to simply awake restless or asleep.  How do I get the detailed pattern back?

[PBragg]

I prefer the old sleep chart. I wake up a lot and like to see times and this is hard to read. Also liked seeing what other folks average was. Sleep cycles changed. I don't like it and would like to change back too!

[Pebbles523]

That's BS, they can change it back. All they have to do is change the Java and script. It's not hard. They can take the new script out and put the old Java script in. I've built several websites and trust me it can be done. Like I said they should have done a beta test B4 just throwing a new design on us and expecting us to be happy. 😡
