Is anyone else struggling with the new Google Health app interface?

Since I did the rollback to an older version mine's been okay for what I want it for.

Interestingly, my sleep for the previous night changed from 8 hrs with Google to a more realistic number when I went back to Fitbit.

Sigh. Fitbit used to be so good. I'm just going to plod along until my watch gives out.

I've got an Inspire 3 and love it.

The update doesn’t work for me. I have been waiting to see if it was ok before replacing my very old Fitbit but I hate it so will be looking at Apple or garmin.
all I want is to be able to log food easily. There is no quick add button! I don’t bother adding exactly what I’ve eaten- just total calories- and I can’t do this now.
I also want a slim design so not sure if Apple Watch will work for me

Yes they have. There used to be a nice little community of Mumsnetters on there that I was part of, and Google got rid of it. Then they got rid of the fun challenges as well.
I don’t understand the rationale behind it, the Fitbit app looked good and worked well.

Google have been ruining the FitBit ever since they bought it. I gave up about a year ago after realising that they were never going to reverse some of their counter-productive updates despite overwhelming evidence from the users that that waa what they wanted.
Pretty much every update they have done has made things worse, not better.

Mine updated this morning and it’s so bad. Wow. I used it to track steps and weight. I’d been tracking my weight on it for over a decade and could see a graph of it all on one screen. Now I can only see a year at a time at most. Crap! Also the scrolly wheel thing for selecting your weight, it defaults to a certain weight so I have to scroll like mad every time. So annoying!

I’m hating it.

Why did they have to mess about with something that worked fine???

The reminder to move is missing and the rest of it is awful. I’m sad. Plus I don’t get a star any more for being at target weight, which is miserable.

I’ve been trying to navigate this new app for two days and I hate it. The previous Fitbit app had features that were relevant and useful for me, this one’s pretty useless and having to search to even add water is crazy and like another pp, I used the reminder to move which seems to have disappeared and also the cardio load is totally different, it’s a bloody wheel thing that does overall cardio load for the week and what percentage I’m at, I want the daily thing back and agree with comments about the calorie thing as well, it’s rubbish.

I’m now considering an Apple Watch, which I’ve discounted before as I felt the Fitbit was better for me but I’m going to have a serious look now

Oh it's driving me mad, I just want my nice simple Fitbit screen back! Does anyone know if you can stop it adding calories burnt to your remaining allowance? I don't 'use' my extra calories and like to be able to see at a glance what I have left.

@SabrinaThwaiteno thankfully that was the cat an hour later.

I also love it for its slimness. I don’t want an Apple Watch, I have small hands/wrists and it works for me.

This ridiculously bad update actually forced me to write my first ever review of an app on google play.
Google helpfully responded telling me to explore more and read a load of crap about how to use it.
The point is, I knew how to use fitbit, and I don't want to have to read a load of stuff to figure out how to use something that used to be so intuitive!
I have enjoyed myself watching their rating out of 5 slip down over the last couple of weeks though.
If any of you come across a slim fitness tracker watch that does the job and doesn't break the bank but has all the old fitbit features, please let me know!

@Converse4Ever Did the 2am notification telling you that you had a bad nights sleep wake you up?

Yes terrible sleep every night. A notification popped up on my screen at 2am to tell me I’d had a bad night sleep as well, give me a chance!

Anyone find their sleep score is a lot worse since switching to google health. If anything my deep and rem sleep has been better in the last week but I am now getting fair or good scores rather than excellent.

I just woke up this morning, couldn’t find the Fitbit app and realised it had been replaced by Google Health

Seem to have lost ALL my sleep data from now until back in March….can I find it somewhere…?

It hasn’t even given me a sleep duration for last night, I’m sure I finally hit the elusive 8 hours after having an early night!

Overall seems very clunky and not straightforward to navigate but maybe need to give it more time….

Apparently my sleep has been incredible ever since the update. It says I didn’t wake up once last night even though I literally got up and walked round the house at one point. Also my HRV is suddenly way higher than it’s ever been. Don’t trust it at all.

Yes. I'll be off to Garmin when my beloved fitbit dies. They don't make the large fitbits anymore either. I don't want a slim watch face as I love being able to read messages on the go.

Thanks for ruining a great product Google.

The whole update is horrible.

When this Fitbit dies I won’t bother with another one.

You can get rid of it if you remove well of the tabs completely then add what you want in the order you want, the first one you add will then become the big one

You can just reorder those appearing on each screen. Click on the wand icon, then - to remove each then + to put back. You can scroll between screen while you do so. Still not great interface nor user friendly.

I see there are new Google Air versions of fitbits - wonder how long until ours become obsolete

I bought a new Fitbit for my birthday last week having previously had two in the past. I specifically checked the one I bought did the hourly 250 steps reminder thing. And now the app has updated and it doesn’t show that information anywhere in terms of how you have done and I can’t see it on the watch either. I know it’s not a massive feature but it’s annoying that I’ve had it a week and a bit and now I can’t track how I’m doing for that feature!

The app also seems really clunky tbh
