The official Fitbit application is receiving a comprehensive revamp, concentrating on the themes of simplicity, customization, and motivation. This redesign de-clutters the interface by organizing everything into three easy-to-use tabs – Today, Coach, and You, each providing distinct metrics and activities.
The Today tab collates all your preferred data and measurements, allowing you to quickly check everything at once. It offers full customization, enabling you to adjust the displayed data according to your personal objectives. While titled “Today”, it also provides a comprehensive overview of health trends for the past month or year through charts, diagrams, and icons.
The Coach tab is entirely about encouragement, offering curated collections of workout routines and mindfulness sessions. These workouts can be sorted based on your time availability, equipment ownership, and overall health and fitness aspirations. Fitbit Premium subscribers can avail of additional content than free subscribers, including dance cardio lessons.
The final tab, You, is where users can access their achievement badges, progress metrics, and connect with other Fitbit users, while also updating personal details. The company ensures that all information here is kept confidential and won’t be used for Google ad data.
It is important to clarify that the revamp won’t affect which features are freely available and which ones are for premium subscribers only. The redesign is already being rolled out to a select group of Fitbit users as a beta version, prior to its worldwide release this autumn. The platform is also set for further modifications in the future. Beginning next year, users will need to use Google credentials to log in to Fitbit applications, as the Fitbit brand is gradually being retired.
