Seems a waste of time and resources. We all know that google is going to kill this and merge it with google fit. So, start adding features to google fit, so when the time is come, it’s a suitable replacement. Please don’t do like usually, the replacement is not ready or has nowhere the same features
I thought it was the opposite? Google Fit is practically abandoned on WearOS in favor of the Pixel Watch’s Fitbit integration.
ah right i forgot how google operates.
First they abandon their perfectly good app.
Then they focus their attention on the new shiny toy
Finally, they kill the old one and rebrand the new with a new name that leave everyone confused.
One week ago my grandma called me to ask “where’s that Duo icon that you told me for do video call to cousin?” I was blindsided as i uninstalled it years ago. It was renamed to google meet, but old google meet was killed. Or something like that.
I thought one of the terms of the Fitbit deal with the competition ombudsman was that they had to keep it separate from fit. What makes you think they’re going to join them?
What about dark mode? To me that should be the priority.
Edit: I just noticed that on the new version we will no longer be able to see the sleep stages without premium.
Fitbit/Google is again restricting data behind a subscription, I will move on to Garmin when the update is mandatory.
on the other hand, if you use health connect you can export all of that juicy good data to something else that actually lets you view it
I hate being a doomer, and this does look great… But doesn’t Google own Fitbit now? And hasn’t material you been out for almost 2 years now?
Bro gadgetbridge will sooner get support for all fitbits AND get material you than google makes up it’s mind on how youtube should look
Back in my day, Google apps were often among the worst offenders when it came to not following their own design philosophy!
I like the way it looks, though I never felt anything wrong with the current app to begin with.
Like @psychic717@lemmy.world mentioned, hopefully there’s a dark mode.
Additionally, apparently the Android app does not show your step streak while the iOS app does. I don’t see it in the screenshots in the article, but I hope it’s something they’ve addressed.
Wow, looks great!
