Use to be a great app. Lots of data immediately available in easy to read format. Every update removes more of that. Words replaced with cryptic icons. Graphics so large you have to scroll and scroll to see stuff. Most data that was available on the homescreen has been buried in nested menu clicks. Tips filling the screen that you can't disable. Awful. As soon as I find a replacement with a decent food budget, this app is uninstalled. Only good thing left in the app. Period. Don't buy a Fitbit.
Reviews for Fitbit
I use the app often, and for the most part, it is great. I am giving three stars because there are too many bugs with logging food. For a while where it would not log properly, making me"over budget" constantly. This most recent one is the worst, though, because it's not even logical for its basic function? I am traveling in Europe 5-6 hours ahead yet it logs food 24 hours ahead so I can't properly keep up.
App sucks. Consistently have issues with syncing and loading the app. "server error try again later" Always have issues logging sleep, try to do it manually and it won't allow it, was told I needed an update there wasn't one available, issues have only gotten worse. Frustrating and expensive for the subscription!!
The last update seemed to fix the distance discrepancies but GPS is no longer accurate. Off at least 0.2/walk compared to MapMyRun. Map is usually off as well. Like new widget a lot but notification buried in list instead of priority. Now when saving an activity, if you pause the activity then end it, it flashes the map, then the map just vanishes. It used to be fun when the app gave you high-fives and way to gos after workouts. Now it's blah. Shd be able to log non-Fitbit meditation & set it.
Since Google and the latest updates, everything is broken. The new period tracker is awful and inaccurate. Sleep is constantly logging while awake. Can't edit exercises, so I guess I did 3 hours of yoga and slept 12 hours. It has been a while, and nothing is fixed. Clearly, they don't care. After a decade, I'm moving to something else.
Didn't care for last updates, but recent updates even worse! I can no longer track jogging in place as part of my routine as I need to stick to indoor workouts due to decline in neighborhood. If I do a brisk walk in place it detects elliptical. I wish I could remove that option a together, but when I remove it on app it doesn't translate to my device. Horrible changes... does not work for me at all.
Since Google bought out Fitbit, I have had nothing but problems with my device staying synced. It will randomly connect and disconnect. I miss text messages and phone call because it won't stay connected. I won't even get started on the issues with trying to change devices. I'm not sure if they are trying to phase out the older models (Versa 2) and make you buy a newer one or if they just don't know what they're doing. Either way it's very irritating not having the functionality you paid for.
After years of working wonderfully, now suddenly it won't track my sleep properly. I was using it to determine how well my sleep meds were working, as it would show when I was restless and awake. Well now it doesn't show any of that data. It just shows the time I went to sleep and the time I wake up, and it's very inaccurate. It's now a glorified pedometer and that's about it... (and it barely updates my steps either).
update... it wouldn't sync again today no matter what. After numerous tries, i updated the app. Then i uninstalled and reinstalled app because update didn't help.Now i can't even log in inti my account. It says something went wrong, try again. Junk 0⭐ ! I'm on my third device. I'm sick of it not syncing. This on is charge4 with heart rate. I like that i can swim, paddle board and cycle in the rain without worrying about it getting wet and damaged. It still has same syncing issues as old ones.
Tried all the troubleshooting methods and still has a different counter from the actual fit bit. Will no longer sync to my phone, and I tried to reconnect the fit bit and it can't even find it. I tried reinstalling the app, but I still can't find it to even reconnect to it. I'm not sure if the update is wack, or it's just some weird glitch because all settings are on. Please fix this problem. Thanks.
