Google replaced the Fitbit app with Google Health alongside the launch of Fitbit Air. Many users report confusion and frustration, including complaints about the home screen layout and limited space for tiles. The main page now reserves area for recent activity updates and chatty notes from an AI health coach. Some users dislike the AI-driven experience, while others find it useful for planning workouts and updating sleep logs through chat. Reactions also include criticism of the graphic user interface, described as overly simplistic.
"The Fitbit app is no more. Along with the launch of the new Fitbit Air (which you can expect a full review of once we've spent more time with it), Google has officially replaced it with Google Health, as previously announced, and many of the responses we've seen so far are full of confusion, frustration, and requests to get the old app back."
"One post on Reddit calls out a common issue, saying, "I can't even completely fill up my home screen. They only have 2 large tiles available and I can't just scroll down to see everything." The landing page has a small section up top showing steps and some other basic stats, but part of the app's main page is now reserved for recent activity updates and chatty notes from Google's AI health coach."
"Not everyone is annoyed by the AI bot however, with one person commenting, "When I ask it to design a moderate workout using my office gym equipment, circuit style, I usually end up feeling great afterwards." Another person called it "quite a helpful feature," showing how they were able to update their sleep log with a missed session by chatting with the AI bot."
"Another user said, "This graphic UI looks like something an 8 year old would make,""
