What happened to the app? Why is it changed?

Just another step in Google-Fitbit integration. There won't be reverting. Mind that complaining as "I don't like it, I want it back" (I know you didn't say it but it's just an example) isn't productive. We won't get the old app back. As users, all we can do is try to add some constructive criticism (finding bugs, issues, suggesting improvements, etc.). Fitbit probably won't listen but hey, I may be wrong. Sorry, I don't have better news.

Hello there, @Debmc56. Welcome to the Fitbit Community Forums. @Triletics Thanks for stopping by in the Fitbit Community Forums and the details provided in your post. 

I understand how important it is to you to see your battery percentage in the Fitbit app, however, at the moment this is not possible. Even though we truly appreciate that you've taken the time to come here and share your thoughts about the new Fitbit app interface, please note at this time there are no plans to change it or revert it to the old one. 

We rely on feedback like yours to help us develop products and features that we know our community wants to see. I'd suggest adding your comment and voting for this feature: Restore battery percentage on new Fitbit app

Visit our FAQs to learn more about how Fitbit decides which suggestions get developed or implemented. 

Thanks in advance.

What are you talking about. I didn’t complain about a battery percentage.  You guys can’t even get a reply straight. I guess I’ll just delete it  and use another health app that will interface with my Fitbit.

@Debmc56 only Fitbit app can connect and sync data from Fitbit so you're stuck with it 🤷

I'm with you on the phone App change. I am not happy about it either. Looks cheap to me. Its harder for me to read it because the Icons tend to all start looking the same. I wished there was something better. I wear glasses. Getting harder to see this stuff.

I don’t think that’s true. I also have an app called Simple. It’s a wt. loss program. It does connect with Fitbit but it’s just more confusion.  I love how under my name it says “ jogger”. 
I don’t know where that came from. I’m a walker and swimmer.  The exercise portion is terrible. It can’t recognize what you are doing!

@Debmc56 it connects to a Fitbit account, not a Fitbit tracker/watch. First, you need to get data into your Fitbit account to make it visible for any third-party app and for that, you need the Fitbit app.

The new mobile app is the pits.  If it isn't possible  to revert to fhe old app, is it possible to rearrange things so I don't have to scroll forever to find stuff?

----

Adding some color and making the topic titles, sleep/activity, in bigger font or in Bold might help, everything looks the same.....and I have to scroll forever to find whay I want to see. Is there a way to rearrange the tiles?
