I’m holding it up against the current app and it does look way better, but the changes are less drastic than expected.
Most of the change comes from going from 4 options to 3. It happens on the bottom tab bar, and on the small trackers below the main one on the today tab. They also add some more whitespace around those trackers, boost their size, and add more separation between the next section.
It’s subtle, but it’s honestly a huge improvement in cognitive load. The first time I opened the Fitbit app on my new phone I closed it because it felt overwhelming and cluttered, this feels a lot more focused.
That being said, still really irritated that basic watch and health tracking is locked behind Fitbit Premium, and given that it’s Google, it’ll probably be cancelled with no clear migration options in a year or two.
