The redesigned iOS Fitbit app is rolling out!

[LizzyFitbit]

Hello everyone!

I would like to announce that the redesigned Fitbit app starts rolling out today! This new app will help you reach your goals, and bring the health and wellness information right on hand.

Check out our latest blog for how to get the most out of the new app. 

Note: Please be patient if you don't see the update right away, as it will take some time to roll out completely.

Happy stepping!

Portions of sleep times are now missing, such as if I wake up at, say, 4, go back to sleep from 5 to 7. The 5-7 part is completely missing now.

[MissMyData]

@BEhh   Exactly the same for me.

[SunsetRunner]

The missing sleep time happened to me before they redesigned the app. If I went to the can for example. That’s always been a flaw in their design   

[MissMyData]

@SunsetRunner  But before it would have started recording again when you went back to sleep. At least it always did for me.

[Bikeracer]

Thi happened in the old Fitbit app too. You have to manually change the wake up time. I’ve had to do this for years.

That’s interesting. I never had to do that with my Sense 2. It was always accurate until recently when it started developing 2-3 hours gaps in data capture overnight. It’ll stop around 3am (ish) then start collecting data again as soon as I get up !

Truly awful 😢

Dear LizzyFitbit:

Happy stepping? All my stepping data is gone, dating before the launch of this  dreadful new software design.

Well done Google. Remember, your original motto was "Do No Evil." Greed got your tongue?

One very unhappy owner of a Charge 5.

My Fitbit app had a tracker update.  I am still not able to see battery percentage.

Also, the update still shows Oct.24, 2023 as the last update.

Still haven't had a update of the Fitbit app.

[Bug25]

Agree. I have charge 5. It keeps syncing itself into oblivion. I can’t see % battery until it actual Fitbit dies 3 times a day. Only 18 months old. Ridiculous. 

----

SPO2% on charge 5 is one day behind all the time (if it ever decides to show it). It seems to stick all night and all day on 94%. It used to have two - - dashes at midnight ready to prepare recording my sleeping SPO2%. Doesn’t do that anymore. Maybe I am a zombie

[CFoster3448]

I am having a HORRIBLE time trying to figure out how to bring up my Versa 2 WITHIN the app...  to be able to change watchfaces, edit settings, etc., etc.   Can ANYONE tell me where to find my devices within this horrible "new" design with all the new  "features"...  please please PLEASE!  STOP adding "features" that eliminate or change the way it works/functions/GUI user friendliness is just absent) and it looks like crap as well...

[FitFeelsBettet]

OMG that text is huge!! Yes, I can read it a mile away, but not much info fits on the screen anymore. Accurate battery level used to be displayed during sync but now there’s nothing. I have to dig, but get a grossly inaccurate charge level anyway. Other very odd and not useful changes. This was beta tested? Can I downgrade?

. Hopefully you can find the updated version in the App Store and download.
Sent from my iPhone iOS version 4.04 of the Fitbit app did restore the digital battery charge to the home screen. It is located in the upper left-hand corner as part of device/app. Fitbit roll out new versions of their app over approximately two weeks. They started rolling out version 4.04 at the beginning of last week. Hopefully you can find the updated version in the App Store and download.

It now appears that if I have to get up in the night to walk off a cramp, the Sleep App thinks that I am awake until the next night.  It doesn't notice that 5 minutes later I have gone back to bed and to sleep again.  This didn't happen before the update.  When is this new update going to be sorted to the satisfaction of users and not providers.  This is just another problem that I have spotted since the upgrade.

[Podunk]

I have found it helpful to try and fool the Fitbit charge five I have in order to get more accurate results. When I wake up in the middle of the night for a few minutes and then get comfortable in bed and ready to go back to sleep, I slip the hand With the Fitbit above it under the pillow to reduce mobility that might be misinterpreted as activity. This helped to take care of one problem I was having. Another problem was getting credit for walking and I have found that by hooking my thumb over the waistband of my pants , during my walk, I get full credit for the walk as exercise but not as walk. The credit I receive is for outdoor bike. In many instances, if I do not fake riding the bike, I do not get credit for exercise days. I have dictated this on my iPhone and hope that you will be able to understand my ramblings , I am a blind Fitbit user who has never seen the screen on his devices or on his iPhone.

Will we  ever be able to add media to our fitbit versa 2 again or you just stole that service from us?? Is there a reason as to why??? Or just greediness so we spend even more on Spotify Premium. At least give the option of having youtube!!

Worst thing is, you still sell your products showing that feature when it's not even available anymore, isn't that false advertisement???

100% Disappointed and the new design looks really bad.

[FitFeelsBettet]

Thanks you, and just updated. Having the battery charge state really is a necessary thing. I hope Google/Fitbit will take the other issues to heart, as they are equially important to us.

[Lanatronn]

Fitbit took away the streak counter that would appear on the top of the old app and show you how many days of a step streak you’re on. Now you have to manually count your days. What a simple feature that was taken away for no reason. Please bring it back. 

[Homebody14489]

THAT part IS working - mostly - on my Luxe. Good thing because it's rare that I don't wake up for at least 5 minutes every night.
