Fitbit: Health & Fitness for Positive User Reviews

✓ Comprehensive and easy to navigateI’ve been using the Fitbit app for about 3 years now. There have been great and continuing improvements during that time. Overall it’s a great and useful app to support my fitness aspirations and I feel it’s an unconscious check for myself on if I’m doing enough. The only negative I would say is sometimes it can have issues with connection and syncing. My mum and I have the exact same phones and fitbits and mine occasionally required me to log out and in, but my mums has multiple connection issues. That seems to have calmed down now but is still intermittent. Requiring log outs, removal and adding of the app again and again. I’m unsure if this was perhaps a bug fix and this has been resolved, as it has not happened for a few months, thankfully..ArrmickkVersion: 3.68.1

✓ Fitbit programIn 2013, I bought a Zip and used it to track steps, which encouraged me to improve and increase my activity, culminating in an 8K walk/run in September 2013. I had been using different apps for diet and, although I was maintaining weight, I wasn't losing. In May 2014, I decided to put all my activity and diet into one program. I compared a few and ended up with the Fitbit program. By September 2014, I had lost 20 pounds. A miracle as far as I'm concerrned after so many years of trying. Most important, I feel healthier. I recently changed to the Fitbit One as a tool for my next goal....the next 10 pounds and to help me with my sleep cycle, which I have found to be amazing. The best thing out of all of this is that all the tools are together, complete with trends, journal, archives, and incentives. I have read some of the other reviews and find that one-dimensional observations of a multi-dimensional program lack the information and experience needed to be fair. If you buy a product knowing that it does not link with an app you are using, why buy it? Because the product, even as a stand alone, is good. In any program, the key is the user, whether the product integrates with an app or not. So, I have stated on the Facebook page that I am happy with the product and program and I reiterate that here. Fitbit rocks!!! Thank you!!!.Maggie's ShuffleVersion: 3.64

✓ Love my Fitbit BUT ……I love my Fitbit, the exercise tracker, the sleep monitor, the heart rate monitor, I use these daily and check my heart rate constantly as I have Afib and an ectopic heart rate what I don’t like about Fitbit is constantly trying to get me to upgrade to their premium package. I refuse to use it as the watch cost enough without having to pay for the things I already use and what the watch was designed for, because I kept dismissing the prompt to upgrade my watch, the features I used a lot stopped working, no longer showing me my sleep patterns, I couldn’t use the exercise tracker either so I’d say it all got disabled to try to force me to pay extra money each month to use those features again. I had to reset my watch and use a different email to get my watch to work again if it happens again I’ll be buying an Apple watch and throwing this in the bin as I’m starting to get the premium version pushed into me again.RexiethewonderdogVersion: 3.75

✓ A friend in meThis is going to sound sad but this app lowkey feels like a digital friend. It sends personal alerts, looks out for me when I don’t sleep properly, congratulates me when I’m doing well, encourages me to keep going and celebrates my successes as well as giving me tips on where I’m struggling and some fun daily facts on sleep cycles etc! Perfect for tracking period cycles and it’s beautiful designed app which is very easy to use and nice to look at. So much to offer and it’s freeeeeee!!!.Katkatkat666Version: 2.85

✓ Great app; could use a few major improvementsI recently got myself a Fitbit because I struggle with my health a little and I’m trying to become more fit. I was hoping to use a combination of calorie counting and exercise but it’s nearly impossible to use the app for calorie counting. The database of foods available is so small, almost every other thing I eat needs to be logged via the custom foods option or I just have to guesstimate how many calories there are in it. Additionally, the barcode scanning option might as well not be there at all because it hardly ever recognises anything. I’ve resorted to using MyFitnessPal to track my calories and just using the quick add option on the Fitbit app to pull it all together, but that is a hassle. It would be really great if the developers of the app could expand the food database so I’m not having to spend at least five minutes logging food every time I eat something..Mimi N K OVersion: 3.26.1

✓ Not impressed so farI was given a Charge HR for my birthday. It came with historical calorie consumption figures on it. Today I went driving with it on and it has given me some ridiculous stats as to how many steps I have taken and how many floors I have climbed. I have taken very few steps and no climbed a single stair. In trying to find out if these can be changed it appears I am not the only one with similar issues. So until Fitbit get there act together I would give it a second thought..BigrinklesVersion: 3.66

✓ Fitbit OverviewI have been using Fitbit for years and I absolutely love it. It tracks everything that I do, running, yoga, swimming, walking, hiking and anything else. I especially like how it tracks movement because I can get a lot of steps in when I’m cleaning house and doing other things outside of exercise. I track my sleep which is very important to me, water intake and I did food and nutrition for a while just to check in take of proteins versus fats etc. I’m vegan so I wanted to make sure my meals were balanced. I use the programs as well especially when I’m on the treadmill because I hate running on the treadmill. The programs keep me going. I also other features for meditating because that is extremely important on a daily basis. I usually have to replace my Fitbit every couple of years. I never take it off with the exception of showers so it gets a lot of use. The only downside I could say is that it’ll sometimes think I’m cycling when I’m in my car but I just delete that exercise. Other than that I will use this over any other watch, including the Apple Watch which I will not use for exercise. It doesn’t do everything the Fitbit can do. I highly recommend Fitbit and enjoy the challenges with my friends..Lea ReyesVersion: 3.65.1

✓ Fitbit keeps you fitI’ve had a Fitbit for nearly 3 years & I am now 66. My Husband bought it for my Christmas present & it’s been the best present ever. Just before I got it, I was diagnosed with being pre diabetic, had raised cholesterol & needed a stent fitted in one of my coronary arteries. With starting on a healthy diet & using my Fitbit I am no longer pre diabetic & my cholesterol levels are now at a safe level, plus I’ve lost 10 lbs in weight. I use it every day, I make sure I do 250 steps every hour for 9 hours & always walk more than 10,000 steps a day. That may not sound a lot to a really fit person, but for me at my age & with my health issues, it’s changed my life. I am so much healthier & happy now & know I need to keep moving to help me have a better lifestyle. It’s that little reminder that you need to keep moving to keep healthy, I absolutely love it. Thank you Fitbit..Daggy dogfootVersion: 3.87

✓ LOVEAbsolutely love being able to track literally everything when it comes to exercise and well being. This is one of my most used apps. Steps, heart rate, weight, even tracking when your period is due! It’s great to hold yourself accountable and set goals each week. Love love love my Fitbit App!!!.CinAnneDowVersion: 3.64

✓ Suggestions for improvementsOverall the app ‘does the job’ but I’d love to see some improvements. The food database that you can search through when you scan an item is not big enough, and it doesn’t allow you to add to that open database or suggest corrections, so that other people can find what you’ve inputted too. It allows you to add custom food, but as far as I’m aware, this is private. It would also be amazing if you could save entire recipes, that could be adjusted as and when needed like other calorie counting apps. It’s counting calorie tool could be a lot more flexible. I wish there was an option to deficit on some days but then maintain/surplus on other days. As someone who likes to eat out socially, I like to deficit a little bit during the week and then eat more on the weekend. Sometimes when I am training, I prefer to maintain 4 days/ bulk 3 (because I find it, particularly difficult to over eat on rest/low movement days) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️With this said I would (and do) recommend Fitbit to everyone I know. In the past year I have become me a lot fitter and healthier. A year ago I could not run. Now I can almost run 10k without stopping. I’ve lost weight but gained muscle. My step count is high every day. I’m way stronger and feel more in control of my fitness goals..A1ice.r0seVersion: 3.88

✓ Great fitness appI love the app and the choices to monitor my health. Just annoying that after a while it doesn’t automatically sync with my Fitbit. Have had the date wrong a few times and the weekly progress report email is out because days haven’t synced without me turning my Bluetooth on and off to reset it..KJ van AstenVersion: 4.03

✓ Charge 2I love my Fitbit charge 2, it’s great you can change the straps to different colours etc, & love it record my heart rate. My biggest issue is with the App I have on my phone, I use the app to record my food & amount of water intake everyday BUT there are odd occasions I don’t get round to entering my food one day, so I thought I’d enter the information the next day to find out You Can’t go back a day on the food, but you can go back a day to add water, the only way to enter food eaten for yesterday is add something on the day. Now today I’ve had a “we are cleaning things up for you” a few seconds later everything seemed the same only to find out it’s allowing me to enter my food for today only to be deleted a few seconds later, it’s also adding “mini cupcakes” to my intake then when I delete them it removes everything. I’ve re-entered my food intake several times for it to be deleted time & time again to the point I’ve given up now. It’s annoying & frustrating. Come on Fitbit sort these issues out quickly..HappyGoLucky20-18#Version: 2.53

✓ S’OK but many annoying things.To get many of the features of the advanced watch/tracker you need to have the premium subscription. Even then only half the features are reliable. If you get 6mo free when you buy a watch, on expiry it automatically renews even if you haven’t given it card details, and then for the more expensive monthly charge compared to the annual. Syncing requires multiple attempts. Giving/receiving data feed to other apps is patchy too, sometimes you need to disconnect/reconnect or go through authorization pages. Step tracking is pretty good and reliable, GPS less so, sleep and heart rate less so. App itself is reasonably robust compared to other tracking SW. The fallback to use the phone when the tracker is charging or broken is a nice feature..Davidnicholas59Version: 3.85

✓ Love Fitbit, But Tons of BugsListen, I love my Fitbit. It helps keep me motivated to move, and is generally pretty accurate with steps. It’s nice to be able to track my workouts and give myself new goals to work towards. However, there are some major bugs when it comes to trying to track food intake. Half of the products I try to scan in have completely incorrect nutritional information on the app, with completely different serving sizes as well. My display of Macros is pretty much never correct because of this, and there’s no way to flag incorrect nutrition information. On top of that, sometimes the app will spontaneously decide to add random meals/snacks from previous days and weeks to my current day’s meals, completely throwing things off. This morning it randomly added “Breakfast Summary” for 206 calories and I don’t even know what that is. It will also randomly remove the calories logged for certain foods, regardless of if they still appear in the meal/snack you logged it under. I would love to keep all of my fitness/nutrition information in one place, but these problems are honestly really aggravating. I hope the Fitbit team can take a closer look at these issues so they can compete against MyFitnessPal, which seems to be generally preferred by those in the fitness community due to accuracy and lack of bugs..PalexxoVersion: 3.64

✓ ExcellentThe Fitbit platform is worthy of a five star rating. I, and other family members, have toyed with the idea of switching to Apple however, it is certainly not as user friendly and doesn’t give you the information that is as relevant to your health. For example, sleep hours and associated info... this is crucial to my well-being and one of the widgets I continuously check..MamajaxtaVersion: 3.36

✓ FitbitLike it works great.John3167Version: 2.40

✓ So motivational!I am on the weightloss mission of my life! Been told to lose weight to have a baby ❤️ I love kids, they are great and I would like a few of my own. I have gone on a low carb diet, I do walking, aquajogging, yoga, Pilates, Zumba and boxing! I lost 15kg since end of November 💚 I enjoy the Fitbit challenges, lots of fun and support 💛 I am 25kgs from my recommended weight! Cheers Fitbit and my Fitbit supporters/comrades 🤗.MissBecksNZ ❤️Version: 2.44.2

✓ Great app, but disappointed with PremiumThe app and actual FitBit are both excellent. It’s a superb way to track my exercise and movement in general, plus a wonderful motivator to get me to do a bit more. There’s the occasional little glitch, where I walk about, even upstairs, but it doesn’t track it. But those are thankfully in the minority. I don’t use the food tracker, as that seems like a hell of a lot of work and quite frankly I can’t be bothered. But I record my water intake and that been really helpful to maintain good hydration. I was offered a 90 day free trial of their Premium service, as I’m sure everyone else was. I thought I’d give it a go. To be honest, very little of what it offers is of interest to me, beyond the progress report. I’ve been exercising regularly for over 40 years now, so don’t need training programmes or features to get me started. However, about a week after signing up I noticed that it was no longer visible in my app, it just said FitBit and not FitBit Premium. And the try Premium section had returned. I’m not sure if it uninstalls if not used, but I didn’t see the point of having to install it every week, so cancelled it. Admittedly I would have done this eventually anyway, as it doesn’t offer £7.99 per month’s worth of extra content, at least not from my perspective. The fact it switched itself off, just sped up its departure from my phone. Otherwise all good, keep up the great work!.Gash65Version: 3.18

✓ Fit bitLove my fit bit,husband retired and i bought 2, so we are walking instead of holding the remote all day..LadyforeverVersion: 2.46

✓ 7 years .... no itch!I got my first Fitbit for my 40th, best move ever! I’ve had a few over the years, there were problems with earlier models but the customer service is so excellent that it makes up for any inconvenience. The key is choosing the right one for you, I wasn’t a big watch person so the smaller more subtle Alta then Charge 4 work best for me. The versa looks good but the size makes me think I’d take it off too often and then forget to put it back. Having a couple of straps is great as regular changes and cleaning stops any rash or problems underneath. Well done Fitbit! You’ve brought my friends and family closer through your challenges despite us being all over the world. My 9 year old niece is getting in on it now too...I’d better out this away and get out for a walk!.Lizzielula!Version: 3.41

✓ Charge 2I've recently swapped from a different heart rate monitor to the Fitbit Charge 2. Previously, I've been monitoring my heart rate during HIIT and ICE gym sessions, but wanted to use an app that would monitor, (or that I could add in) calories and other exercise. Did some research, bought the Charge, and now I'm hooked!! Loving the generalised health benefits. I'm now watching my food intake, calories, exercise sessions, steps, and sleep patterns. Yeah! It is relatively easy to use -I'm in the over sixties age group, and therefore not a techno head. I'm still in a learning curve with the tracker and the app, and am finding out more stuff each time I open up the app. It gives me simple prompts , and positive feedback. The tracker itself is easy to wear, and slim and stylish. Love it..Go GrannyVersion: 3.34

✓ The Fitbit is the best thing ever but there I one issue with the app...The Fitbit and it’s contents are one of the greatest inventions in my opinion, but the app has one unfortunate bug. One night, like every, I went to start my sleep tracker but my phone died without me canceling it, so now every time I open the app it has over 200hrs of sleep but doesn’t let me cancel it :( it lets me start new ones and add sleep logs it is just very frustrating not being able to cancel it. Due to this issue it doesn’t add my sleep for nights since on the watch itself. I though about deleting the app and restarting but it is too risky to lose all my progress and badges. I hope this bug can be fixed.Chloe_King1Version: 3.12.1

✓ What happened to exercise categoriesLove using my Fitbit Luxe. The only thing that somewhat frustrated me was when I worked out, I sometimes couldn’t find the type of workout I did listed in the “categorize exercise” option on the app. For example I do ab workouts quite often, but there’s no way for me to label the workout as such on the app, given the choices under “categorize exercise”. Then the other day I noticed that more options we added! I had done a HIIT workout and lo and behold HIIT was a new option to categorize my workout! Then I searched and also saw there was now an option to list a core workout for when I have an abs workout day! Fast forward a couple days later and when I went to log my workout as HIIT, it was no longer listed as an option. Looked for the core workout option and it wasn’t listed as an option anymore either. I also noticed that the workout I had listed as HIIT a few days earlier has now been changed to “Circuit Training”. Please bring back more options for categorizing workouts. It really helps to look back and see exactly what I did. With more options, I don’t have to guess what I did or use another label that doesn’t really apply to my workout..MissRellVersion: 3.52.1

✓ FitbitI have been a dedicated Fitbit use for years. I have recommended your product to friends, bought trackers for my family and friends. On the whole I am happy with my tracker. Here are some things I am unhappy about. It does not track my steps very accurately, especially around the house. I can walk the whole length of our house and not record a single step. We have concluded my steps are to light. It is often faulty about downloading my steps, like this week. I walked every day but none are recorded. This happens too often, I usual check but if I have a busy week I may not get around to it. The connection between the tracker and the USB cord is also very tricky and has required jiggling from the very beginning. It's location on the underside is also poor as perspiration and skin builds up and needs cleaning with a toothpick. The band fastener is of poor quality..IdiellanaVersion: 3.32.1

✓ Great AppPersonally I think this is a great app for not only adults but children too. This gives me so many ways to interact and really push myself doing exercises. I am a child myself and find no problems using this. Although if you are a very young child, parent supervision and support is definitely important which is why there is a feature to add a parents account to make sure your children are behaving. I enjoy that this app has a feature to set and track your own goals. I also enjoy setting challenges with my brother and I, it really helps us get all the exercise we need. Overall, great app and great work!.HazzaGOATVersion: 3.44

✓ Rockin App!This app is awesome as is the watch itself. So many ways to personalize it and you have control over everything but it shows you some tips about nutrition and activity, sleep etc. in a way that is also unique to the user in some form because I have a friend and we don’t usually get the same messages which shows me that the people behind the scenes who developed this app and do the updates etc. worked really hard to make an excellent program that takes you or puts you front and center which is how it should be but I tried a couple different watches and their apps if they had them in the first place were so cookie cutter it was ridiculous one didn’t have any gender but male on it!! So in closing if you are looking for a quality watch with a great app and free is great it is but try the membership at least one month it seriously adds to the core program they offer monthly and yearly so a month is 9.99 we can waste 10 bucks at a coffee shop or fast food in a blink so no excuses🤨 take it from someone who was a huge skeptic about the watches and their actual results IRL, I just thought they were a trendy waste of money 😂 look at me now writing a book praising this watch and it’s app 😳.......,.Tigereyes29mnVersion: 3.26.1

✓ Great app, but not recommended for childrenHello! First of all, Fitbits are a great asset to life and I highly recommend getting one. However, there are a few downsides to the app. While it has great feedback and suggestions on your daily exercising achievements, this app is not very good for young children. It is really good for young adults and old, but children would need a parent’s supervision using this app. It has community posts, which I think is great, but it is not good for kids to be chatting with much older adults. The kids could give private information away to them, like phone numbers or passwords, or the adults could abuse the children. The only other thing I’m worried about for children is that they could send random people friend requests or other people could send them friend requests and they accept. If they do accept, that means that their friends could privately chat with them, not necessarily about fitness goals. Otherwise, if you are an adult looking at this app and wondering if you should get a Fitbit or not, you should totally go for it because it has amazing results. Thanks for reading my review!.A_J_pineappleVersion: 3.20.1

✓ Daily lifeI love my Fitbit as a tool to keep an eye on my health. I check my sleep quality each day and measure my steps. Plus I can see my weight fluctuation history which is hugely helpful. I miss the weekly workweek hustle with my friends, but I still rate this program highly..JacpivVersion: 3.81

✓ Apps Program calculationI love my Fitbit and the app is the best way to keep track of a healthy lifestyle. It has great suggestions to achieve your goals, fun exercise challenges and good health food recipes. It even has a menstrual calendar. This apps health leave is based off the person gender, age, height and weight. But I feel it should have a Pregnancy setting or condition setting. While i was expecting I found the apps program made it look as if I was “unhealthy” due to the weight gain and small snacking between meals. I think is important to make sure that the apps programming can also calculate when weight gain is healthy by basing itself off the persons gender, age, high, weight and condition e.g pregnancy. I would hate to see what effects this app could have on a person with a mental illness such as anorexia..Cara-leeVersion: 3.58

✓ I loveI love this app. It is awesome to see your sleep patterns and get fun alerts when you walk so much. I tried the premium so I could get more sleep details. I love the sleep details and data graphs. I am bummed about two things though. 1. I don’t need any of the workout programs or anything like that, I want it to track my movements and heart rate during the day time and monitor my sleep patterns and blood oxygen levels at night. I had to pay for the premium to get those results even though my watch tracks it already. Just seems like that could be offered without having to pay more for it, we already pay a good amount to have these devices on our wrists. 2. The blood oxygen levels are not showing up and never have. I honestly didn’t even see this graph until I purchased the premium package (still in free trial mode at the moment) After looking into this problem it seems most people are having this problem. It shows for some and not others or shows for a little bit then goes blank. I’m paying (going to be) and cannot see those results! ??? Over all I am pleased with the app. Wish I didn’t have to pay more to get those few more tools for night time! Update didn’t stay with the premium but use the app daily..KendreahVersion: 3.58

✓ The Only Fitness Monitor you Need!I really love my Fitbit, now checking my sleep and monitoring my fitness is now a daily ritual for me. I am a triathlete and have done a couple of Ironman 70.3’s and it is great looking at the daily progress. You can clock up about 70 km in a week! Whatever your fitness, weight loss goals are I strongly recommend Fitbit!.The MumbinatorVersion: 3.86

✓ Easy biometrics at your fingertipsHonestly I love Fitbit and have since I was in college. It was recommended to us by a professor of mine in the athletics department and I adore it. I am a volleyball player and I always have my Fitbit on. The app has been a tremendous help through the years and actually helped save my life twice when my heart rate was notably out of control and though I had been feeling very sick, it wasn’t until I saw that that I told my husband to get me to the hospital. Saved me from going into septic shock so that was cool. The app has also helped me with tracking calories, weight goals, periods, fertility, sleep, and more. The app actually helped us get pregnant with our first child (I have PCOS and was having a difficult time but the app really helped me figure out timing and consult a physician about the trends). What I’m saying is, I would recommend the Fitbit app and best Fitbit watches over pretty much every other product I have seen that is similar. Yes, even the A***e Watch and whatever new thing G****e has come out with. Best bang for your buck and there are a lot of apps that link up with the Fitbit app (and products) to improve your experience and help you meet your goals. I’m not paid by Fitbit to say this stuff but hey, if you’re out there reading this Fitbit, I’m just saying that I wouldn’t be sad about a job offer (jk. Mostly. Maybe.) Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.Thea GreekVersion: 3.80

✓ Does Most Things WellI have been using FitBit since 2015. I prefer the all in one App of FitBit over the multiple Apps to achieve the same tasks for Garmin. The food section of the FitBit doesn’t work so well anymore. Many food items when clicked on just spin and spin and do not return or log information (calories, energy sources, etc.) Also I wish dates could be changed within the food section. Sometimes I may not log food for some days, then when logging the items I make an error on the day, seems like the only way to fix it is to delete and start over, I wish I could just change the date. FitBit watches are not durable and do not last too long for me. I went through 3 or 4 Surges, something breaks or battery quits or something goes wrong usually around the 18 month mark. Right now I use a Garmin Instinct, but still use the FitBit app. I might buy another FitBit in the future, but their poor durability is a major disappointment. I am amazed at the technology of these smart/sport/tracker watches/devices. However there is room for improvement. I think FitBit over-estimates calorie burn, I think my Garmin does a more accurate job. Overall FitBit App and watches are decent products..NPR-ListenerVersion: 3.88

✓ Great except for one thing...This app is useful. It tracks water, food, steps, zone minutes, miles walked, and it has so many other cool features. One of my favorite things to do on the app is track sleep. It worked fine at first. It was accurate. However, now it's not becoming accurate. This week, it's said I got: Three hours and four minutes, three hours and fifty-three minutes, three hours and thirteen minutes, and today it's saying I got four hours and three minutes. Yesterday, I went to bed at 11:04 and woke up at 5:37, yet it said I got three hours and thirteen minutes of sleep. I'm pretty sure that is more than 6.5 hours of sleep. It's frustrating. It's happened four times this week. I'm not doing anything different than I used to. I wear it to sleep and I make sure it's not too loose or tight. I wake up, check the Fitbit app, and it's saying I didn't get a good night's sleep at all. I talked to my father about it (who also has a Fitbit), and he said the app glitches sometimes. My mother has a Fitbit as well, but as of recently, it's not been glitching for either of them. I am not doing anything different from them. I don't know if it was because of a new update or something, since it never happened before this week. Please fix, this app is so useful for calculating sleep and I want it to do it right..Cakelover418Version: 3.55

✓ Great app but needs a refreshI have been using Fitbit since 2015 and absolutely love their products. As for the app, although it works nicely on the whole, I feel as though it needs a refresh as the whole layout could be a lot more aesthetic and enjoyable to use. A huge concern is the food database for entering in calories - I find that it isn’t very accurate at finding the right amount of calories on most foods and I end up having to use other apps such as Lifesum or MyFitnessPal to find out the foods and then enter into my Fitbit. All in all not a particularly fluid and quick process! It also would be excellent to add a feature where you can track the amount of alcohol that is being consumed as that contributes massively to one’s health!! Would love to see an app update that focuses on the food tab, making it more accurate (and the barcode scanner more useful!) and also an app refresh to improve the aesthetic and usability..IrswaVersion: 2.85

✓ UsefulThe newest replacement I got, barely connects to my phone. I have to tell it to sink and a lot of times it doesn’t do it so I have to close out the app and come back in. It constantly tells me that the zip battery is dying even when I’ve replaced it A few days or a week before and continues to tell me that although sometimes it will keep working anywayFor many, many weeks. For some reason they don’t make the clip on zip anymore and that’s quite annoying since I don’t want to wear a watch I find it uncomfortable, expensive and in the way Zip needs a less expensive model. Some of the models have so many things I don’t care about Also the app used to clearly tell you what times you were getting exercise now it’s kind of a loose, vague timing. I found it useful when I got up a number of times in the middle of the night and lost a lot of sleep Older review below. The zip is difficult to see when it’s on you as part of her work and it doesn’t link up efficiently with your phone sometimes there’s a big delay sometimes it doesn’t check in then you have to go sync it. I liked the one that looked just like a little gem, No it’s synced up efficiently you couldn’t really read it and excepted lights which I never could remember which light meant which and it wasn’t specific. Otherwise it works and it makes you do exercise which is its purpose..Techie 1111Version: 3.55

✓ Love my FitBit!!Really interesting how it tracks my steps especially when I’m working as I’m on my feet all day and do a fair bit of walking in my job. That was the main reason I wanted one, to see how many steps in a day, especially on a really busy working day. It tracks how I’ve been sleeping which is interesting at times, and gives you hints and tips. I wear it everyday, so easy and simple to use..Royssie76Version: 3.33

✓ Fun and easy to useI’m really enjoying my Fitbit as it’s easy to use with a lot of information. It has help me achieve my step goals and improve them and also all the information on the app is very valuable and helps in assorts of ways. Sleeping and nutrition just to name a couple..Loggia 12Version: 3.87

✓ Great Fitness App! 🏃🏻‍♀️👏🏻This is a great app, keep doing what you’re doing. I love all the different features that can help you stay fit. This app encourages me to stay on my diet, or keep working out, or just maintaining a healthier lifestyle, even when the time gets tough. In addition, I really appreciate how you read and listen to these reviews. Just a suggestion: where you log your food, you can create a custom food but you can’t delete or edit them. It would be very helpful if we could do both or either of those. I created a custom food because it wasn’t listed in the provided foods but I forgot a word in the title and it made it a completely different product from what it was. I really need to edit it and change it but that is not an option. Also, another thing that would be cool to have is if you could create a custom workout for your exercise. There is a limited number of options and I make up my own workouts and I would like to put it in the log. Likewise, where you can track where you run, hike, or walk is a very helpful feature! Could you, by any chance, add biking to that? It would make it a bit more useful for me. These are just a few suggestions that I believe would improve the app. Overall this app is great and I am so thankful for it!.Kendal_TobyVersion: 2.47

✓ FitbitI’m a Fitbit Premium member and find being able to see all the daily data v interesting. I’ve always been interested in sports science and psychology so the app naturally appeals. The provision of data sim terms of the type of datasets is not where Fitbit loses any points in my book, but I think in the future the winners in the space will be able to provide an app that can not only give someone like me the datasets but also , a) be able to tell me more about what each dataset is and an individual score is to me, and b) be able to give me an individual report each day that gives me more insights from the gathered data. Things like how is my state of physical readiness today and what datasets are giving this overall figure. Also, a bit more prevention insights such as when it looks like I’m ready for a physical break in training or are ripe for stepping it up and why..Impressed!-!Version: 3.88

✓ Fitbit fanaticsMy husband and I bought our first fitbits at the start of the pandemic and we’ve not looked back since. I see a lot of people claiming that once the novelty has worn off it’s just a fancy watch, but this is far from the truth for us. We love our fitbits and really enjoy tracking our sleep and fitness. We’ve always been big walkers, but the Fitbit app and wearables have incentivised us brilliantly to keep on top of things. We also track our weight which has been useful over the years, and I track my periods. I have the Fitbit Luxe and I use the “Relax” function almost daily for breathing exercises as I have regular panic attacks. We’ve upgraded our fitbits several times not because we needed to but because we wanted to. They last well although the batteries do decrease over time..SqueakSquaraVersion: 3.88

✓ A great aid to monitoring exercise and sleepI’ve been using a Fitbit for years. I’m onto my 6th (or 7th!) version. The watches may need changing every couple of years but the functionality on the app has always been reliable for me. My physio and I find the sleep monitoring, and type of sleep, to be particularly useful, as she can see when I’m waking in the night to take painkillers. It calculates deep sleep, light sleep, periods of REM etc The exercise monitoring is a useful way to capture my overall exercise time & effort, and the type of activity it thinks I’ve undertaken! From that it calculates the calories I’ve used. There is the option to log the food and drink consumed. I sometimes use that when dieting, and it’s quite easy to programme it with food types utilising the Fitbit database of food. Which reminds me… Did I log that afternoon tea and biscuit?!!.Lawyer666666Version: 3.90

✓ Would love it more if I could...I’ve been a a Fitbit fan for 6 years, upgrading twice. I love it. 5 stars for my Fitbit device, fewer for the app. My suggestions for improving it: 1: The app doesn’t track my bicycle commute. It has the capability to track my GPS when I walk. Why not when I cycle? Other apps can and do. 2: I’d like to be able to enter my waist measurements as that’s an indicator of health. 3: Please add a New Zealand food database. 4: I don’t like the women’s cycle tracker at all, I have returned to my old one. This one is clunky and makes assumptions that are irritating..PollyCGVersion: 2.94

✓ Love it but period tracking needs workI’ve had a Fitbit for years and I really love it, keeps me motivated and interested in my health. One bugbear that is getting worse as I get older is the period tracking - it’s useless (was it written by men…?). So you can log your periods - great. But if your periods don’t fit the algorithm it forcibly changes your history, as well as your future predictions or just has a “computer says no” moment and won’t let you add what’s actually happening. This could be *such* a valuable feature if it did not tamper with past logging of actual periods. News flash Fitbit: irregular periods happen and can be a sign that either something is wrong or that a woman is entering menopause. Please can you devote some time / energy into giving this area a serious upgrade? Women are in perimenopause for c10 years - your app could help us manage that. Right now it’s an utterly useless functionality. Please sort it!.LaalaastrongVersion: 3.77

✓ Huge fanI love my charge 3. I love how it tracks sleep and keeps track of my sleep stages. I love that I can track my runs, the splits, distance, and shows a map. Battery life is great. Notifications are great as well. 100% waterproof. The only time I take it off is to charge which I only have to do once a week. Also very durable I play basketball 3 times a week. Sometimes it will get hit by someone’s hand or the ball and my Fitbit shows no damage. I love Apple. Im bossed with my Mac and iPhone. But the Fitbit is way better than the Apple Watch and a fraction of the price. The app itself is great. Records the data very clearly and is easy to read. They send progress reports each week as well which are great compared to the last week. (I think it would be cool if that also got compared to your average stats) tracks all I see about and i can access it easily. Syncs very quickly as well. My one problem is it is very hard to read in the day light. The screen gets really dim and when on a run and I want to see my pace or trying to read a text message when it’s really bright outside it’s almost to read. I don’t know if Fitbit needs to fix that or if I can adjust it. Literally my only concern..The dalanVersion: 2.92

✓ Really helpfulI have a chronic illness and my Fitbit HR is so useful in so many ways. Helps me monitor what’s helping and what is not. Such as how fixing a B9,12 iron deficiency helped my step count and a dip in step count on autumn led me to discover my vitamin D was low. I use so many of the functions such as sleep Monitor to improve sleep, HR and steps to pace and the logging of food has really helped me keep healthy diet and also lose weight as I’ve not been so active and it’s helped stop calorific snacking. The period app is also really useful. I use this app more than any other and it’s really helped me manage a complex chronic illness. So useful. Best health buy I’ve made and the app is so easy to use. The app is free to try to see if it could be useful before buying a Fitbit, which is what I did. I got a Fitbit HR specifically do I could monitor sleep. If it adds a function to analyse vitamin intake from diet and supplements this would be amazing. It’s the only thing I think is lacking. At the moment it’s focussed on calories and carbs/protein/fat which is great for following keto diets, but I’d really like it to work out my vitamin intake to help me improve my deficiencies more naturally than supplements. Excellent app and device. Highly recommended. Used it non stop over 18 months now..Phoenix108Version: 2.87

✓ Not impressed with latest updateFirst I could not change my password and now I have lost all my friends data. I have phoned once and managed to get logged back in but still not a complete fix . I tried web chat but it will not set up the live web chat..Ness 99Version: 2.89

✓ Great for keeping track!I love my Fitbit! Started with an Alta HR then upgraded it to a Charge 3. I find the app really good as I can see how I’m doing during the day, and also track my progress over weeks and months. I wish you could do is add custom volume amounts of water. My Kleen Kanteen takes 450 and I have to enter it ever time! Plus the issue with the millilitres changing to cls which is a pain if you want to change the amount from say 40 mls to 25 for a particular serving - I have to google what it is in cls..WriteabilityVersion: 3.81

✓ WowI’ve had a Fitbit for 3 years now. The app works absolutely fine for me! I love being able to have goals that I want to achieve.😉 I have recommended fitbits to many people and my friends. It is a little bit annoying that not all fitbits charge on the same charger.... overall, one of my best devices..IkhvugkvgyuifVersion: 3.66

✓ NinaThe Fit-Bit app is a great tool to have, from the amount of steps you did today, to the hours you slept last before noon night. I purchased my Fit-Bit Versa a few months ago and since then, it’s been great. Ivan five into the pool, control my music on the go, and much more😊 I really recommend the Fit-bit Versa and the Fit-bit app..📱🇪🇹Ninya 🦑🐍Version: 2.92

✓ I’m loving the app but...Fitbit seems to be very targeted towards those who work Monday to Friday, 9 to 5 jobs (or similar). The challenges especially, don’t take into account those people who work weekends or whose work week doesn’t start on a Monday, but you’re given no option to change the day you begin. Equally, it would be great if you could choose when your 24 hours begins, I understand that for most people it wouldn’t be a factor, but for example I wake up at 11am and go to bed at 4am, but my steps etc etc are all being logged as the next day once past midnight, when usually I am still at work. We live in a 24/7 world, and there are many, many shift workers and night workers out there Fitbit, it would be nice if they were considered. Also, why is there no ‘driving’ option built into your own app, yes you can use the ‘drivebit’ app, which I’m doing so as not add thousands of extra steps a day, but it’s a simple ‘start/stop’ function; could you not include this yourselves?.Neenah249Version: 2.43.1

✓ Great app and devicesI’ve found this app so helpful when logging calories and water, checking daily activity and sleep patterns. The community on there is so supportive and there are so many great tips and meal ideas for any one trying to lose weight or just live a healthier lifestyle in general. The premium version isn’t really that necessary. It doesn’t offer a huge amount more than the free membership apart from workout routines, recipes and some other instructables. One thing that I think needs improving is the barcode scanner and the food log. A lot of stuff that I have scanned has completely different nutritional values on the app than it doesn’t on the packaging. I’ve also found that there aren’t a lot of uk brands on there. To be really picky it’s also sometimes hard to find the food that your looking for from the list. For example if I type in ‘broccoli’ it gives me a huge list of alternatives before I actually find just broccoli. Other than that though it’s a great app and the smart watches are definitely worth the money if you’re really considering it 😊.Pheb1Version: 3.39.1

✓ Great fitness appIt’s all in the name! If you want to focus on fitness, this is the app for you. All your fitness metrics in the one place. I have enjoyed this app for over seven years! One improvement is the mindfulness part not able to link to other mindfulness apps or even log manually but I’m sure their onto fixing that..Livia EsterhazyVersion: 4.01

✓ Fitbit appI really like the app. I changed my watch face and love it, but the weather doesn’t seem to sync in a timely fashion..SparkyartistVersion: 2.46

✓ Fitbit App is exactly what I wantedDefinitely recommend this app to keep track of your daily exercise, sleep quality, steps and weight. I find it is very user friendly plus you can add a number of extra things to your Fitbit app to help track water intake, food/calories etc., as well. Change the display, and adapt the app to suit your personal needs. You can select the type of exercise you want to do, run, walk, cycling, rowing, plus many other activities which means you get a more accurate reading. Every day I look at my sleep quality and hours of sleep, my steps and heart rate, it helps me to monitor how active I have been or need to be!!! You can compare weekly, monthly, yearly readings as well. I do agree this app is not really suitable for younger children however I wouldn’t think that a detailed app like this one would be necessary for children anyway?? Hope this feedback helps you to achieve what you are looking for. Cheers Julie.Littlecreek1Version: 3.25.1

✓ Love my long lived FitbitMy Fitbit HR was nearly 4 years old, it never left my wrist be it exercise, gardening inc chainsawing, chopping wood etc, working on vehicles and everything in between, it has been to Africa, Canada, USA, NZ, various states in Australia, various places in Asia and while it is looking battered and a little the worse for wear it was still going, however after getting drowned 2 days running at iguasu Falls in 2019 I replaced it with a charge 3 in March 2019. I have recently (July 2022) upgraded to a charge 5 after my charge 3 battery started dying, as after my experience with replacing the battery on my old HR I decided it wasn’t worth the trouble ant the 5 had some features I wanted. So I have had 3 Fitbits since march 2015 which tells you how I regard them..LionfishZVersion: 3.72

✓ So much for bug fixes.... and they were fixed!Previous comments earning the app 3 stars a week ago: First time that the app has failed in over a year. So averaged out the number of stars to give it— with this week being 1 star and rest of year is 5. Since the latest update my Flex 2 wont sync. Ironic timing since I actually managed to finally do some serious exercising every day this week. I think the tracker is still storing data since I’m still getting silent alarms and notifications when wearing it. I hope it’s storing everything til bugs are fixed. Please! Update with 5 stars to go with it: I was so surprised that the developers responded to the problem I posted about syncing, and for that alone, I’d give the app 5 stars for customer service. But better yet, the FitBit help page that they directed me to had the solution. It was at end of webpage after a long list of things to try, most of which everyone probably does. At the end of the “try this” suggestions, the one about how to reset the actual tracker did the trick. I never knew there was a little button on the charger itself for this purpose. Anyways, my Flex 2 tracker miraculously synced after I reset it, and it had stored a full week of data, exercise, sleep patterns, etc, which appeared happily in the app. The developer’s reply to my initial review has the link to follow for how-to. Thanks so much for being repsonsive!.NoaccountnameVersion: 2.81.1

✓ My partner in fitnessI’ve had my Fitbit Ionic for a year and a half and am very happy with it. This is my 3rd Fitbit and the Ionic addresses the issues I had with my first two ‘bits, namely a one-day battery life and the fact I couldn’t immerse it in water. The data collected by my Ionic is logically and usefully displayed on the Fitbit app. I’m a recovering heart attack patient and the heart rate data compiled in the app is essential reading for my doctor. I transcribe the heart data onto my own spreadsheets and provide them to my doctor every time I have an appointment. The accuracy of the readings is impressive and consistent and when my numbers are taken three times a week at my cardiac rehab sessions at the hospital we’ve come to use the Fitbit’s heart rate number over that of the nurse’s oximeter because my Fitbit tends to do a better job filtering out the “white noise” of my a-fib condition. Medical science is a data-driven discipline and being able to provide my doctor with hard data each visit is immensely valuable. My last doctor’s appt in April lasted NINE MINUTES - all because I provided the spreadsheet numbers compiled by my Fitbit and displayed on the app. If you’re trying to talk to your doctor about your health and how you’re feeling and don’t have numbers to quantify your opinions, well, you’re only guessing..Road Runner 1971Version: 2.93

✓ Love this app!This app is brilliant for me keeps me fit and spurs me on to do well and reach 10,000 or more steps every day. I think it should be encouraged for more people not just to get fit these days but to be doing exercise each day (not loads) but enough to be hitting 10,000 steps at least or even near it. It’s amazing to know that you can do the recommended steps without even knowing most days. I think therefore this spurs you on to doing more per day than the recommended which is fab. Not only is it brilliant for keeping an eye on your steps/exercise for the days in the week it also calculates your sleep intake which is very useful for most people as I think we tend not to get enough sleep per day and in total per week, therefore it surprises you when you see a total of sleep that you don’t actually get and makes you think about the sleep which is also needed by your body’s not just the exercise that is needed to love a healthy life. I enjoy everything about this app but these are just two points in which I enjoy the most, I think the layout ect is perfect. I have recommend getting a fit bit & app to all my family & friends and they love it too. I also find the tips you get everyday great and very helpful and that this can help you to live a better life..Ash10CMcVersion: 2.90

✓ BeneficialGreat benefits from sleep stats; e.g. from sleep stats I found out a warm shower 90 minutes before bed really does increase your deep sleep! Also great for passively measuring of your fitness goals; I really like the active minutes measure as feedback on how hard I’m working and what activities naturally get my heart rate up (for me it’s walking). Not a fan of the Community section — another distraction, plus full of low quality content. I wished I could disable it. The discover page is not as elegant as I’d like. Nevertheless I highly recommend FitBit for measuring your sleep and movement + exercise. It’s been a great aid in tracking and improving both aspects of my health - and it’s relatively cheap..Christelle QuilangVersion: 3.43.1

✓ Always FitbitI have always used Fitbit. I have no desire to use or try any other device on the market. For me, it’s not about the name, or all of the bells and whistles. It’s about the fitness and what the “tracker” has to offer. It’s not about how much social media I can have contact with while I am getting fit. Yes, I like being able to catch a quick glimpse of a text or see who is calling in case of an emergency but that is enough for me. I have the Charge 4 and when my altimeter quit in my last one I still replaced it with another Charge 4 instead of getting the new colorful 5 because it did not come with the altimeter. The app is great for me as well. However, the recent bomb you dropped of taking away challenges and the ability to play Bingo, etc is heartbreaking to say the least. Which is why I only gave the 4 star rating. I understand changes but to take away something that so many enjoy is mind boggling. Competition is what motivates many. Not just challenging yourself on a virtual trail to pick up treasures. You speak of better things to come but we have no idea what that my be. I hope we can continue to have the enjoyment of competing and getting to meet the world of people that enjoy getting healthy together..Diesel415Version: 3.75

✓ Accept the limitations use its brillianceThere are legitimate limitations to this bit of tech. It cant interpret everything you do and understand every nuance of activities you do get up to. If you are realistic and accept these (spin classes wont get you very far and understandably so) then this is a great bit of kit. It offer analysis of your activity, it shows your sleep analysis, it records how active you have been and whether you need to be more active (if you have logged 10 miles on the back of a horse then you KNOW you have not done that physically) but it is still activity. It pushes you to be more active and watch what you are doing which at the end of the day is all good stuff. I love the amount of information this app offers and how it has motivated me to get more active (especially on non gym days stuck in the office) the reminders to get up and move have been really good..... it gets me to the loo!!.Bunksey1Version: 2.44.1

✓ Feel Naked w/o my Fitbit! But....I’ve had a Fitbit for 5 yrs now and use both it and the app religiously. There was a frustrating Firmware issue with the charge 2 and another device crapped out on me but Fitbit replaced and has since fixed everything. I now (still) have a Charge HR that has been running strong for 2.5 yrs... the App itself is great, I love the challenges and the navigation is easy/intuitive for the most part. One part I don’t like is the adventures area. So far it’s just places like Yosemite, NYC, Boston... Why? There are so many grand walks/hikes in so many areas of the world. There are also lots of other sites and apps that have countless walks/hikes mapped in whatever area you happen to be in but I’d much prefer to be able to access all of this from the Fitbit App. I’m stumped as to why Fitbit hasn’t extended the selection when it would be easy to load other walks and in turn be much more usable for everyone! It would also increase Fitbit usage and engagement. I remember thinking this when I first saw adventures on the front page of the app, clicked on it and saw just a few areas. Today I decided to check again and... 3-4 years later they still have the same few walks/hikes. This is so odd I’m kind of scratching my head as to why expanding this section hasn’t occurred to anyone at Fitbit, what the obstacles are (seems easy/doable and cost/benefit smart) and why it hasn’t happened?.GG245777543236Version: 2.80

✓ The Best!It is by far the best app of its kind!.Alexander RVersion: 2.46

✓ Today View Freezes. Help!I love Fitbit app (features, UI, illustrations, the overall design, the friend challenges) and it’s definitely the reason I haven’t switched over to using an Apple Watch or Apple Health however I’ve noticed within the last couple months, the today view randomly freezes like a bug and pressing anywhere on it does nothing. I’m not able to go into any of the categories or view details (outside of just being able to toggle the bottom nav) Today it actually canceled out during a GPS walk I was tracking and when I went to view the app, I noticed it stopped tracking and just showed the Today view. However when trying to tap anywhere on the page, nothing happened. This freezing bug behavior has now happened to me 4-5 times over the course of a couple months and the only way i can get the app to work is by deinstalling it/deleting it, then redownloading it from the App Store. It then works after all of that but then I get the first run experience UI for each feature all over again. I’ve redownloaded many times because I still want to use this app because I love it and Fitbit so much but is this a known issue to others? Can developers fix this freezing? I would like to just use the app and not have to continue deinstalling it every time. Thanks!.NastasiaeliseVersion: 3.26.1

✓ A Perfect ToolI was able to improve my health with FitBit. With the SLEEP feature, I could check if my sleep was fitful or peaceful. That helped me adjust my habits to go to bed sooner, develop a quiet time, reading/listening to music, and to not have a heavy meal right before bed. I kept up with my exercise needs and intensity by monitoring the type of exercise and length ing my workouts. It helps that Fit bit is waterproof because I like water aerobics. The FitBit also accounts for numerous of steps walked per day. Many people aspire to 10,000 steps per day but as a 75 year old sedentary woman who was overweight and hated exercise, I chose to start at 3,000 steps. Of course, that goal could be raised, but I pretty much stayed at that goal. Through diet and better choices in food, activities, and better sleep hygiene, I was able to go from 338 pounds down to 206, my goal for my tall, large framed body. I’ve managed to keep my weight within 206 and 211 for over a year. This success is attributed to my acceptance of the understanding that calories in equals exercise out. It is NOT easy but I am glad I did. Good luck to you and you might like to try a FitBit to help your progress. And no, FitBit did not compensate me or even know about me until I press the send button. This device worked for me and I hope it can work for you..FooteworkVersion: 3.68

✓ Love the Fitbit Premier AppLove the Fitbit App, using it with a Versa 2 device. Been a member of Fitbit since April 2015. Had my ups and downs with Fitbit devices & the app over the years. But it seems pretty stable now. The addition of Fitbit Premier has added lots of new health metrics... which are really useful. Such as sleep analysis & more details on RHR plus loads more. As well as more fun elements like “Get Fit Bingo”, “ and new adventures like “All for One”. I didn’t actually join in with the Fitbit community on the app until last year. I’m so glad I did as I’ve made many friends all over the World. And training and doing challenges together is such a helpful motivator. I’ve also lost almost 100lbs (that’s just over 7 stone) in 18 months 😃. Which has been life challenging as I have multiple chronic health conditions... losing the weight has helped with some of these conditions too..Cozza2107Version: 3.30

✓ FitbitI love everything about my Fitbit and the support program they offer. I love the short exercise programs as I can tag a program onto the end of my run or if working can find time for a quick workout. I highly recommend Fitbit.Cupcake 942Version: 4.00

✓ Helps me be consistentMy god/ daughter bought me a Fitbit Sept 2020 and after my initial worry about wearing something all the time ( I haven’t worn a watch in decades!) I have grown to love my Fitbit and app. It’s really helpful to keep in track of water and exercise, I am using it to lose weight by logging food and I love how useful that is either by using the inbuilt food list or by scanning a food barcode!! Genius. Getting into the habit of logging things, being rewarded with achievements badges and by having the weekly stats emailed so I can see progress, is just making it easier for me to be more consistent in being responsible for my diet, exercise, hydration and mental health. The range of free meditations to help either de-stress or relax or go to sleep , is sufficient for me so I haven’t needed to upgrade yet. I think Fitbit and the app should be compulsory and people taught how it can help them be responsible for their health and well-being in the first instance..LjH54Version: 3.41.1

✓ Love it!I’ve got the charge 4 now and it’s even better then the 3, imagine?!?! it’s fabulous! Love that I can see who’s calling, or read a text, even pay with it (though I doubt people would know what I was trying to do lol-including me)! I love that it keeps improving!.BdcrewVersion: 3.39

✓ Easy, accurate and usefulThe Fitbit app and the Fitbit tracker work seamlessly together to provide useful information about exercise, heart rate, sleep and more. I find the sleep information and the exercise information particularly useful and look at the app every day (I had it 5 years now). There’s plenty of other stuff it can track as well so check out the features in the App Store. The tracker (Charge 5) is fantastic with battery life of about 6 days, although I had to get my first Charge 5 replaced as it had a battery-life fault, the replacement one is excellent. There are lots of band styles so you can change the look of it to match whatever. It also syncs notifications with my iPhone so I get them on my wrist and I can use it with ApplePay and pay for things using my tracker. It doesn’t have all the features of some wearable devices (like an Apple Watch for example) but I love mine and hey, 6 day battery life - that’s hard to beat..Paul SherriffVersion: 3.83.1

✓ FitBit app is pretty good, minus some frustrationsI love my FitBit Versa and the FitBit app, but my one complaint would be the overwhelming number of clock faces to choose from and no real way to filter through them. The categories are broken down to only a few, at most, and the search feature isn’t really all that reliable for what you’re truly trying to search for. For example, when searching for “beach” it only shows a few options, but IF you have a large amount of free time to search through the extensive library one by one, you happen to come across several more while browsing. Maybe having a “tag” feature for clock face developers to add search keywords would be nice. It would also be nice if there was a feature to filter clock faces by which ones are free from those that you have to buy. I’m also not fond of the calorie link option that FitBit incorporates with the MyFitnessPal app. It would be nice for a setting to be provided to select whether you only want workout calories that you’ve burned to automatically link to your MyFitnessPal app versus your overall calorie burn for the day. I’m one who only likes to log my calorie burn for workouts and not the entire day. Those are overall my only two complaints. For the most part, the FitBit app is great, with the exception of these couple of things, but I’ve also only owned my Versa for less than a week, so I’m still exploring the app..Mssmith0516Version: 2.94

✓ Love itAlthough there is a lot of content that you would need to pay premium for, it is still easily useful with what is freely available. I love the calorie tracker, it’s a shame it doesn’t scan barcodes in New Zealand though but I can say I’ll log it manually (it is the only feature the app is lacking for me, but probably doesn’t affect most people). I love looking at my stats at the end of the day and I find the sleep tracker very accurate 10/10 would reccommend👍.Nice😎😎👌👍👍Version: 3.86

✓ Bug:menstrual sectionI really love the features and everything,except for one thing. In the menstrual cycle section, every time I click on it, it’s on my birthday month, back in 1997!! I have to swipe up to the actual month EVERY TIME. And now that I did the update, it won’t charge AT ALL. I really hope this gets fix please because it is really annoying. Thank you!.Tounini1234Version: 3.40.1

✓ My favourite smart watches appI have been a Fitbit user for a long time and have attempted to switch to apple once. One of the main reasons why I stick to FitBit, beside their trackers quality, is mainly their app. This is one central place when I can track everything fitness and health related in one place. When I switched to apple I couldn’t find similar experience and design as I was required to install app for sleep tracking, app for heart rate tracking and so on. There was nothing like this app, and so it took me a couple of day to return Apple Watch and get back to FitBit just to continue enjoying this experience. FitBit watch/tracker is by no mean as attractive and sexy as Apple Watch, but it’s this combined experience of this app (70% of this experience) and the FitBit watch itself (30% of this experience) that created the whole experience for me..RkhushabVersion: 3.62

✓ New userJust purchased a surge and impressed with the depth of info available. I am technically challenged so it may take a wee while to get the full use out if it but the main thing is that already it has inspired me to do more and initial results are promising. Now I’ve had it for some time it is brilliant, and the app is also brilliant. Allowing me to compete against others. Cheers, Graham.Baubee11Version: 3.77

✓ Needs some small improvements 😊The app works well but some small improvements would make it even better! - being able to record taking a contraceptive pill each day with a reminder would be easier than using a separate app like I do now, and I know Apple is preventing quick text replies but I’m looking forward to the day IPhone users can do this too, as I’m considering going back to the Apple Watch just to be able to do that.. But I enjoy using all of Fitbits other features so its a hard choice!.Just AmberVersion: 2.53.1

✓ Lost Without FitbitI recently forgot to put my Versa on when I left for work. It felt like missing a phone! Whether it’s a quick check on step count or confirming hours slept, my Fitbit certainly feels part of me and the app gives you everything in one, customisable view. Excellent wrist accessory and equally capable app..Seany OVersion: 3.58

✓ Keeping an eye on MeUsing my Fitbit for monitoring my personal performance has been great for my health. Considering all things daily life demands, to see the numbers of my heart rate and weight and input through to the weather has allowed me to manage my life style. I have appreciated the knowledge this Ap gives for sleep and setting goals to achieve. This has greatly assisted my success in energy levels for my age and getting inner healing with a positive mental attitude..GB baygirlVersion: 3.86

✓ Almost perfect - just one thingI notice that the challenges for real life are only in NYC and other places that aren’t in my country.. Australia. I cannot compete in these challenges as I live in a small country town. I would love to be able to enjoy every part of Fitbit but I can’t seem to join in on the good challenges like that (and they look so fun!). Maybe if it’s too hard to add challenges for each place, add challenges for all over like “find a mountain and climb it, river run, backroad bliss, hahaha I don’t know, but just something EVERYONE can do and enjoy.. Some new challenges could be added to the workweek hustle, weekend warrior etc. I seem to be continuously doing the same thing and it’s getting boring but I’m not going to stop using Fitbit as I love it so much. Yous have done and amazing job and I hope you keep it up!.Geena_XXVersion: 2.46

✓ Good app but can frustrating when it plays up.The app is good when it works. I like all the things you can record, especially steps and sleep score but unfortunately the app plays up. My steps or sleep score will have been counted for the day and shows up. Then a couple days later a day will be gone will zero steps and no sleep score recorded. The information just sometimes disappears. This can throw off my 7 day average, and it can make it hard to know if I’m improving or not..Kiana Phoenix LVersion: 3.31

✓ Happy to be FitbitingTraining about 6 days per week and health conscious I had always been interested in monitoring my activity including my sleeping patterns. Once Fitbit brought out their first smart watch I was sold. The Ionic has preformed well since I purchased it just after New Years. So I have worn the watch everyday for a month and a half and it has done everything they said it would. The Fitbit app is awesome to use and follow on my iPhone and I monitor my sleep every morning on my phone. The app and the watch seem to communicate flawlessly and I love the little details like getting a notification and email on my phone when my watch needs recharging. Looking forward to things getting even better into the future Fitbit..Rick RMDVersion: 2.87

✓ Dating app!I recently bought a fitbit charge 3 so wanted the app to go along with it. None of my friends or family have one or are using the app so I wanted to use the community part of the app to find fellow keep fitters so then I could use the challenging each other parts of the app. Well soon as I joined a group I got a heap of friend requests. Great I thought! Everyone is keen here. Hmmm funny they're all men and it shows no sign of exercise on their profiles. And they've all just joined too 🤔 must be the coronavirus pandemic. But nope they just want to chat. They have similar back stories. Have all been Americans and when I mention fitbit they ask what I'm on about! So I have no idea what's going on but it's definitely a flaw to the app. Other issues... The sleep part. I can either let the watch realise I'm asleep and let it do an in depth analysis (which is great) but then it fails to realise I'm up and doing stuff and then stop to meditate and read (it assumes I fell back to sleep) - this gives me a wacky analysis. Or I tell it I'm going to sleep and have woken up in which case I just get a really basic analysis. I don't want to change my schedule but I don't know how to get it to stop linking up my daytime activities to my nighttime sleep. Otherwise the app has been great. Took a while to get my stride right so it wasn't crediting me with too little or too many steps. Overall though I like the app and have found it easy to use..MinesAcoffeeVersion: 3.18

✓ *EDIT* Needs True FixingI have been so frustrated over the last three weeks not being able to view my sleep pattern. That’s a big reason why I’ve always loved this app. It breaks down my sleep cycle. Helps me better to understand my sleep and to change things in my routine to try and get a better nights sleep. I read a review that said they were having the same issues as so many people on here. They deleted the app and then reinstalled it. I was worried about losing all my data and then realized I can’t access it anyway. So, I deleted and reinstalled. Didn’t lose my data and the app is back to working like normal again! I will be staying with my Fitbit! There’s no other device like it to do what I use it for. I have used Fitbit for years and have loved it. However, there have been three updates lately that have caused the app to freeze whenever I click on my sleep. My husband is getting tired of me complaining about it and is trying to convince me to go away from Fitbit and find a different tracking device. It would be nice if the developers would figure out the problem and fix it seeing as I’m not the only one complaining about this..Jfer1977Version: 3.40.1

✓ New apps to get on the watch that you can get on the appHey Fitbit team I was thinking that the apple phones should also be aloud to reply back to messages in the watch. Like there should be a messages app that you can write back to people. The next app should be a reading app, I think that this is a good idea because you can read books on your watch. The last app is a video app where you can watch videos like movies or tv shows on your watch. And can you please make sure that if you do the app then can you make it free please at least until you do the next update then you can make at least the video one have money on it. Please can you do it and if you do can you please reply back to me, even if you can’t then can you still reply to me to say that it doesn’t work. Please it would be cool to have all of those apps Sincerely A person that really wants all of those apps to happen.Pug aka scoutVersion: 3.55

✓ Overall an excellent productI review my sleep and heart rate every morning and monitor my steps during the day, aiming for the 10,000 or more every day. I think the device and the app are quite amazing in what they do and I am pleased with the results I get (a fitness level of 60-64 at age 73). The helpful information provided by the app is generally first class. I deduct one star only because of Fitbit’s reluctance to provide any information on how they calculate the ‘resting heart-rate’. It is frustrating to me and to many others, especially as it is the key measure of fitness. One only needs to look at the forums to see people’s frustration and the unsatisfactory responses from Fitbit. Please provide at least the logic behind the algorithm, not just what it is vaguely meant to represent and I would happily award five stars. I can appreciate the need for protection of intellectual property, but surely you can find a better balance. But thank you for providing what is otherwise a great product!.ID@No43Version: 4.04

✓ Extensive and works… most of the timeHad the app for the best part of 4 years and it’s still yet to put a foot wrong. It’s most recent update has seen one or two stability issues however; - Opening up the sleep info tab on the main screen slows down the entire phone and takes over 15 seconds to actually open. Used to be instantaneous however evidently isn’t the case anymore - Opening other tabs also sometimes introduces similar stability issues, however nowhere near as bad as the sleep one. For new people, you’ll find that Fitbit has a premium option which may raise eyebrows, especially after you’ve just paid for an expensive bit of tech on the tracker itself, however I’ve never used premium and it’s still well beyond extensive with the information you can see..CazobroVersion: 3.39.1

✓ Fit to liveI wear my Fitbit 24/7 and use the default settings. It’s very interesting. I often have many active minutes but it may not register as exercise. If I play golf it may say I’ve done 2 x 15 minute walks but I guess that’s because you need to get beyond a brisk walk and maintain it for 10 mins. It picks up other exercise such as tennis but mowing the lawn comes up as motor biking! 😂 love seeing how I sleep and it’s a challenge to maintain my levels. I’m pretty fit and active anyway and like to keep it that way! I’ve a good knowledge in the health and fitness area and the Fitbit suits me but it’s not in depth technology that can pick up medical problems. It can probably help u to get fitter if u sign up to in app purchases but I never do this on any app regardless. As I said I worked in health n fitness all my life so it’s not something I need but if you want to get fit and it motivates you to improve your level and be healthier then go for it!.VicwilloVersion: 2.92

✓ Great app but novelty wears off quicklyWhen I first got my Fitbit I used to sync everyday, track my heart rate, calories, compete against friends each week as to who could do the most steps. Now all I use it for is tracking my sleep and as a watch. Sometimes I’ll have the notifications on and have my phone on Bluetooth so I get the message or call notifications, but often I’ll have this switched off as while I’m at work I find being prompted to hit 250 steps every hour a bit distracting. It would be good to have a feature where you can select which notifications you want, so I could see my messages and calls, but not the step reminders. It’s a great bit of kit and it’s obviously very popular but once the novelty wears off it pretty much becomes a watch. There used to be an incentive as the Fitbit app could be synced with the Lucozade Sport app where you could be entered into prize draws if you hit a certain amount of steps daily and/or weekly, but unfortunately Lucozade have finished their promotion. Perhaps Fitbit could consider partnering with another company to rekindle those incentives. I did far more steps each week and won a few nice prizes too, so it definitely encouraged me to be more active..Run Fat Boy 2012Version: 2.88

✓ Basic FitBit very usefulI’m an almost 65yo woman - I need to keep track of my exercise for healthy aging. I’ve started with a very basic Fitbit – the little Inspire. it took me a little while to work out how to use it, but with time, I got there. I wanted to be able to track my heart rate through different exercise types that I enjoy – it’s doing a great job with that, I now have a much better understanding of the aerobic effort needed for walking vs kayaking vs paddleboarding vs dancercize vs swimming. Who knew swimming was so aerobically demanding?! Love it! An unanticipated bonus is sleep analysis - how long I sleep, how much deep sleep vs REM I get, and my resting heart rate during sleep. It was a bit of a shock to see how even just one glass of wine of an evening would keep my heart rate well above baseline for the first few hours of sleep. I’m not sure that I’ll ever need a fancier Fitbit. The little Inspire has been very inspiring!.Mad KingrayVersion: 4.10

✓ Great gadgetI am giving my Fitbit Zip five stars, even though I only use the steps portion. It is fun, gives me good info about a job I have, where I am on my feet for my entire shift, and it is easy to use. It is true, you will add extra steps to get to a goal, and I don't consider myself a competitive person. I am sure the other elements of the Zip are great, but I am an online WW member, so I just use the FIT for upping my activity. I highly recommend this product. However I am adding a review of the Flex 2, (3 years later) which I hate. I lost my Fitbit zip and went with the Flex 2 when there was a long wait for Zip delivery. I wish I hadn't. I give the Flex 0 stars. I have to download a new Fitbit app every time I try to sync the stupid thing. I've gone thru every help tip Fitbit offers, spent a long time on the phone with a person in customer support and have emailed the company for help. There has been no resolution. The company's support team used to be amazing, now they just read back text from the same help site I used when I tried to trouble shoot the problem. Also when the Flex 2 finally syncs (again after I download the app, again, for the third time that day) it seems to record arm movements. So if you are sitting down wrapping packages or painting your toenails you will also be getting in your steps. If you can get it to sync..Seely rdVersion: iOS 2.51

✓ Keeping your users actively engagedAs others have stated, the app and the product are fantastic from a technology and UI UX perspective. But.....that simply has not been enough to keep me engaged a month or so after getting the watch. Now my fitness tracker is only used to see my resting heart rate on a daily basis and the time. Most if not all other functions and notifications are simply just background noise. Yes I take part in the odd few challenges with friends and colleagues, but it’s not driving behaviour. It’s information paralysis instead... So.....the exam question here is, what do Fitbit need to do to keep their users meaningfully engaged? Some thoughts: 1) incentivise me materially to be more active - sounds obvious but why not have a fit bit store and let users earn credits (or meaningful discounts) by winning challenges? 2) wager mode - small bets with friends and colleagues you trust on a given challenge, winning split between the winner and or a selected charity for example? 3) free promotions / products for doing something different... ”This week your challenge is walk up 100 flights of stairs” for example... and by doing so we will ship you the latest protein bar by whoever. Finally - customise notifications. I don’t need to be reminded I’ve not been active for the last hour because I’ve been sitting around a boardroom table, dinner table, on a plane! But I do like it as a watch.....E SappyVersion: 3.9.1

✓ Creeps in the communityFirstly I would like to say, the app works great. I hadn't used a fit bit in a year or two so I had to figure out how the new look of the app worked but it wasn't hard. I loved that my history from my old Fitbit was there because it gave me motivation to get back to how I used to be. Now the stuff I didn't like. I wish the messages would be more of a messenger style. I can't go back and look at the conversation as a whole, all I can see are messages sent to me and it's all separate so it clogs up the message list. Would be much better to see the whole convo in one message so I can have proof of incidents like I just had. I have friended a few people from the different communities in the app. So far everyone is cool, we are all there for fitness and support. I recently accepted a friend request and the guy started messaging me. It started out innocent enough just talking about how long we have had a Fitbit and what our fitness goals are. Then he started getting weird and talking about my face based off my profile picture and started hinting at sexual intentions. I ended up unfriending him and blocking him. What I wish for this app is a way to report users like this. This isn't a dating/hook up app! And I don't need strange men hinting that my face gave them a boner lol.AceyourfaceVersion: 2.40

✓ Blaze. ImpressedSo as a new user to this environment I was most impressed with the presentation of the blaze and the general ease of use of set up with the watch, the software and the interaction between the Apple Watch and my iPhone is quite interesting and seamless. Overall I consider it a value for money purchase and useful tool in monitoring my day-to-day activities I’m not a fitness junkie in that sense I just use the machine to monitor my daily activity and exercise when taken, with a particular interest in sleep patterns. So far, two days in,I haven’t been able to obtain a sleep pattern report. The first night it gave me the general alert, restless and sleep reading, second night for some reason it only recorded an hour sleep although I went to bed at the time I said on my schedule, so I don’t know what’s gone wrong there, battery was about 50%, charged it today... so hoping it goes well. All in all happy customer..Ellie132Version: 2.43
