Fitness lovers have finally been given some good news regarding the Fitbit as its app has introduced some exciting features following a new update.
Fitbit has had a rough ride over the past few years. Its latest Sense 2 and Versa 4 watches were less impressive compared to their predecessors, and the company recently hinted that it may not produce another Fitbit-branded smartwatch.
Google, its parent company, has also removed popular features such as leadership boards with friends. However, it looks like things are finally on the up for Fitbit and its users. Earlier this month, Fitbit updated its app to allow all users access to their daily readiness score, a feature previously only available behind the Fitbit Premium paywall.
Luckily, Fitbit has welcomed some well-needed changes to its Android and iPhone apps that should make it easier for people to assess their health and fitness data.

As spotted by 9to5Google, in keeping with Google giving the Fitbit app a lick of paint to keep the aesthetic in line with Google's own branding, the Stress management score, mood, and mindfulness sections of the app have been updated. Version 4.26.1 of the Fitbit app for Android sees this design come in, and now the app looks a lot more uniform.
Fitbit's app has always been a bit messy, with some sections getting more love than others over the years, leaving everything feeling unorganised. Google is seeing to that by adding day and week tabs to several stat sections to make it easier to spot health trends. This seems particularly useful for the stress management section, where you can identify the times your Fitbit spotted you may have been stressed, and try to work out what the triggers were, reports Express.
Lest we forget, Google owns Fitbit and owners of the Pixel Watch smartwatches must use the Fitbit app to see all of their data, so these changes will benefit all owners of Pixel Watch and Fitbit devices. Though the months and years ahead for Fitbit owners are a little uncertain - especially in terms of how long current devices will be supported for - at least right now the app is improving and not being left to wither away.
