Does anyone else find the app now makes them NOT want to log in or check stats?

I remember when I first got my Fitbit, and the app was so useful! You could easily see your day's activity in nice neat rows, and how different things affected one another. It was easy to scroll through a whole day at a time. The interface only showed you what you wanted to see. And, you could even enter your measurements! 

I have learned to NEVER update my app, but I didn't figure that out until too late, so I now am stuck on the version that puts those "health tips" on the top half of your phone screen every day. Where I used check the app several times a day, now I'm more like... twice a week? and then get irritated and close it again.

Does anybody know if there are any 3rd party apps that take Fitbit data, but then just show you steps per hour, overall steps, sleep, and weight, but grouped by day, and without any upselling or spammy stuff? I know I probably just need to get a completely different fitness tracker, but until my Fitbit breaks, I'd like to keep using it. The hardware is decent.

You can tap edit and remove these tips, you can also arrange tiles

Yes, I know, and I do--but they show right up again the next time I open the app. The Fitbit community moderators have already said they're not going to remove them or let people opt out of them; the only thing to do is dismiss them again and again.

I know how to arrange tiles. However, the new configuration is less efficient that the old one, and furthermore, you can't scroll through all the days' stats at once. You used to be able to see, all one one screen, steps, calories, minutes, miles, sleep, etc., and you could swipe back with one motion and get all of those same stats for the previous day, on one screen.

Maybe if I'd never seen the app when it was great, I wouldn't know what I was missing, and wouldn't mind it like this? Kind of like people who never were able to enter their measurements wouldn't think about not having that functionality anymore.

I don't know if it's even legal for a 3rd party to draw on Fitbit data--I haven't looked around yet for a 3rd party app, was just asking here to see if anyone knew of one.
