Fitbit is all about making you the best version of yourself, and the app’s new redesign is all about simplifying that process. More specifically, it’s about giving you a simplified design so you can navigate things better. Which in turn should help you make the most of the app and, improve your health and wellness to a level that suits you.
The Fitbit app redesign, which is coming this Fall Fitbit says, provides you with a holistic view of your health. It’s primarily focused on presenting your data in an easy way that’s glanceable. To achieve this Fitbit is structuring the app’s features in a multi-tab setup. These will be displayed at the bottom of the screen, split up into three separate categories. Today, Coach, and You. Each tab plays a different role depending on what information you’re trying to get to.
The Today tab for example is where you’ll see glanceable highlights of your different metrics. Such as steps, calories burned and more. It also serves as a place to glance at your motivations and goals you’ve set for yourself. You can also customize this tab by focusing on specific metrics. In the Coach tab, you can find a variety of different motivational content like curated workout videos. Some of the content is free but you’ll need to pay for a Fitbit Premium membership to access other parts of it like the HIIT and dance cardio classes.
As for the You tab, this is where you adjust those goals and other settings. Here you can modify things like your daily step goal and manage community connections.
The Fitbit app redesign includes a new Material You look
Aside from the new three-tab setup the app is also getting its Material You style refresh. Information is displayed in large scrollable cards with rounded corners, and the tab icons at the bottom have a pill-shaped color block on the highlighted tab.
There’s also a new color palette and updated icons that Fitbit says will help you find your favorite activities more easily. Tracking your health will be easier too. With new simpler ways to log various kinds of information like steps and water intake. Although the new design isn’t launching officially till this Fall, Fitbit is sending out invites to some users to try out the changes in a limited beta. So check your email inboxes.
