New version of iOS app does not display tracked exercise?

[Cathyf123]

I updated to the new version on my iPhone last night, and today I did 46 minutes of interval training which I recorded by squeezing the button on my Fitbit at the beginning and end. I found instructions on how to go back to the old dashboard, and the exercise is there, with all the data I would expect. Given the design of the new dashboard (which I really like, btw) I would expect that there would be a tile with the running person icon and maybe the time of the session, but nothing like that is there.

Is it somewhere else and I'm just not finding it? Is it a bug that I need to report? Did the Fitbit developers remove the feature and I need to roust up a baying mob of Fitbit users to "explain" the usefulness of it?

@Cathyf123 welcome to the Community! Thanks for your amazing feedback about the new design of the Fitbit app, I love it too. Is this the tile you are referring to?

Do let me know and keep me posted!

Exactly! (Ok, putting my shamed face on, I figured that out a couple of hours after I posted, and forgot to come back. Smack my hand!)

I realized afterwards that there was a tile with that "x out of n" language on it in the old interface, which I looked at once and decided it was useless and stopped seeing it. Apparently your developers also thought that there was nothing interesting under the tile and recycled it into being the cover for the workout details. So it was my familiarity with the old interface that tripped me up in finding things on the new interface. Mark Twain once said that it's not what you don't know that gets you, but the things that you "know" which just ain't so. A good thing to remember when you improve something is that your users might get tripped up on the "just ain't so" stuff that got improved away.

Thanks for the help, and for the new interface,

Cathy
