How do I get the old Dashboard back?

Does anyone know how I get the old dashboard back on my iOS app? I don’t have automatic updates turned on so I don’t know how this has happened? The new dashboard is not user friendly and set out very poorly

How do I stop receiving all the replies and comments on this board? How do I get out of this "community."

Thanks.

@Fyrfyter, I think they are feeling the pressure and instructed the moderator to find a way to squelch so and so by playing the too-inflammatory card.

 

  • My last posts informed the reader that one can go to feature requests section and vote as fitbit is still accepting votes. We'll how inflammatory is that? Sounds familiar?

Fitbit why did you close the other community forum web page?

@alcurb  I had a feature request that users be able to customize their dashboard and then share it, like watch faces. It was up for a few days but I see it is gone now. 

Best Answer
@Fyrfyter, where you given a reason?
Best Answer

@alcurb  I was not given a reason or notified about the removal of that one. It just disappeared.

@efit01  this was your original post:

 

EVERYONE!!! If you want the old dashboard back  and you want to have your VOICE HEARD by Fitbit you need to go to the Feature Suggestions page and push the thumbs up button on all the topics regarding the new dashboard. This is the only way they will actually LISTEN to us!

 

The post that I found to have the most votes is "Bring Back the Old Dashboard!" it is found at this link: https://community.fitbit.com/t5/Feature-Suggestions/Bring-Back-the-Old-Dashboard/idi-p/3707094

Right now it has 585 votes. However, according to Fitbit this is not enough for them to take the suggestion seriously 

 

According to Fitbit, there are 500,000 registered users and they said that a vote of 500 is not enough to catch their attention! 

In case you don't believe me, this info can be found here: https://community.fitbit.com/t5/Fitbit-Community-Basics/Feature-Suggestion-FAQs/td-p/386470

 

So we need EVERYONE to go to this part of the website and push the thumbs up button to increase the likes  That is the only way they will take our complaints seriously.

 

We can do this guys! Don't let Fitbit push us around and tell us what we want. We can speak for ourselves. 

 

Go vote to change the dashboard back please!

I suspect Fitbit is attempting to suppress any kind of activism within the Fitbit community. IMO, they don't feel they have to give a reason for Post removal but if they do, they'll site the rules, not allowing inflammatory speech or Spam . Judging what is inflammatory (or Spam) is wide open to interpretation and can be a used as a tool for removing something they don't like, something that is politically inconvenient when it comes to the bottlom line. We as community members might see this as a way to suppress votes. We live in a country where we live and breathe democracy and freedom of speech, but apparently it doesn't apply within the virtual walls of a corporate environment. It's sad and ironic that Fitbit is located in one of the most progressive democratic and liberal thinking cities in the US, San Francisco. What can we do as community members? Vote for feature suggestions you like and comment.

Same here! I miss the old GUI!? Plus when I track my runs it no longer shows my heart rate during the run anymore?

 

Why Fitbit?

I agree, I despise the new dashboard & I am annoyed that we can’t go back to the old dashboard that is actually user friendly. Some of us, in our 40’s, can’t see without readers, which I don’t wear when I’m exercising, so the color tracking icons were great. Now I have to wear glasses on the treadmill, which makes me dizzy,  to see the icons on the crappy new version. Ugh.

I also do not like this new Dashboard.  How can we get them to the old one back.  This one really sucks.

Did anyone figure out how to get the old dashboard back? My app just switched and I can’t understand why they did this. The new format is terrible. Really terrible! 

Best Answer

I am being told it can’t be done and that Fitbit won’t do it.   I think I’ll switch over to an Apple Watch. Have not been that impressed with my Versa anyway.

This response was from almost two months ago. Any updates? Is anything happening to either improve the dashboard or revert back to the old one? Seems clear people don’t like the new one. Lack of action on something so ill received can’t be a good business decision.
