Here’s how Google is responding to Fitbit users who don’t like the new Health app
After a flood of complaints about the Google Health app that just replaced Fitbit, Google has responded with a list of changes that will roll out starting this week.
Google is addressing some of the biggest complaints users had, like the Today dashboard that can only show users’ chosen health metrics in the top half of the screen. Soon, Google says it will “make it easier to customize your Today and Health dashboards so you can more easily re-arrange metrics within them or add or remove metrics.”
Google Health is also adding some missing features and quality-of-life improvements, like custom food viewing, creation, and logging, so you can add custom food items to your logs. The Today and Health tabs are getting charts for hourly step goals, as well, and a new 24-hour total sleep overview will show both main sleep and naps.
Google’s AI coach is one of the most divisive new features. One person asked why they “now have to scroll through paragraphs of AI slop” to see their health data, but others, like The Verge’s David Pierce, say they are already getting useful advice and insights.
Google says these adjustments for its AI-generated messages in the Today tab are coming soon:
