Google Health has replaced the Fitbit app and, with that, the major redesign has rolled out widely. Many Fitbit users are frustrated with the change and, in a new roadmap, we’re getting an overview of fixes and improvements coming to the Google Health app.
Last year, the Fitbit app started previewing a massive redesign focused around an AI-powered coach, but it was fully optional and many stuck with the older design despite Google expanding access over time.
Google Health brings this redesign to the masses and, well, many aren’t very happy about it.
Between countless posts on Reddit talking about how the app is “ruined” and “slop,” as well as review-bombing on the Play Store, it’s clear there’s a number of Fitbit users who are not happy with this change. Some core complaints include changes to the food tracker, inconsistent workout tracking, and the loss of some data, among other things – for the last one, though, data is largely not missing, but has moved within the app. Google was transparent prior to the update around which features explicitly would not work.
Seemingly in response to the backlash (or in a simple effort to continue its transparency), a Google Health roadmap has been published, detailing a number of bug fixes and improvements Google is planning throughout the app.
