Early reaction

My app updated overnight. Two things I’m not happy with early on:

  1. The app UI/design simply does not match the Fitbit UI/design. It feels like 2 separate products forced to play nice as opposed to 2 halves of the same whole.

  2. My app/Fitbit hallucinated 16000 steps for me overnight. Hopefully that’s just a Day 1 integration bug.

I’ll give it some time. But I really wish they had just rebranded the old app as Fitbit by Google instead of forcing Google Health on us. But as the goal was probably to force the millions of Fitbit users to start using their AI services I suppose that was never going to happen.

Does premium have custom foods or anything otherwise outside the database?

You can put anything it with premium via the AI chat. You can take a picture of a food, recipe, or packaging.

Oh God I just want to type. I left noom because it wanted me to photograph my food on the fre version. I own a scale, I trust ounces more than AI estimates.

You can give that info to it too. It's not as limited. I just add labels of many day to day food and ingredients I use and tell it how many servings were used from whatever it was. It's convenient.
