Google is about to release a new Fitbit app redesign, and as helpful as it looks, it also feels like information overload.

This annoys me, because the APK is out, everything is enabled server side, so why not just roll it out and let people use it?

    Gadgetbridge is a free and open source Android application that allows you to pair and manage various gadgets such as smart watches, bands, headphones, and more without the need for the vendor application. So in short, you can use Gadgetbridge instead of relying on your gadget’s own proprietary app.

      Honestly, this is a lazy AF comment. Yes Gadgetbridge exists, but what’s its relevance here? Does it implement Material 3 Expressive better than Fitbit? Does it have more functionality than Fitbit? Does it present the data as well as Fitbit? Does it implement AI features as well as Fitbit? Why are you mentioning a random AF app that doesn’t even support the number one device used by Fitbit users? Up the effort please!

        Is it lazy? Yes. Is it useful? Also yes. You’re complaining about a service, this comment gives you a viable option to not use that service.
