What happened to the Fitbit app? After an epic 14-year run, the Fitbit app is officially dead. But don't shed a tear just yet, because the new Google Health app that replaces it is better in just about every way.That's right, the Fitbit app is now the Google Health app, and Fitbit Premium is now Google Health Premium. Pricing for the Premium subscription remains the same: $9.99 a month or $99 annually.New name, same basic app, better design
(Image credit: Google)The new app was built based on feedback from longtime Fitbit wearers, and organizes everything into four cour tabs: Today, Fitness, Sleep, and Health. Rather than inundating users with numbers and graphs, the most relevant wellness metrics are presented front and center.Of course, users can customize the dashboards on each page to their heart's content. Available for both Android and iOS, the new Google Health app plays nicely with a ton of other popular health and fitness apps, like Run Club, AllTrails, MyFitnessPal, and the Oura app.A new 'Leaderboard' feature lets users compete in fitness challenges head-to-head with friends and family, which is somewhat ironic, given the fact that Google nixed a similar community challenges feature from the Fitbit app back in 2023.What does this mean for Premium subscribers?
