Google Health lands, but Fitbit fans want the old app back

TL;DR Summary
Google Health has replaced the Fitbit app with an AI-driven interface, prompting confusion and frustration as users navigate a redesigned Today screen, limited quick access to stats, and an AI health coach. Some users appreciate the coaching features, but many want the old Fitbit app back and complain about scrolling through long AI notes and cluttered data presentation. Google notes that with a connected wearable you’ll see extra tabs for Fitness and Sleep, and third‑party wearables may be supported later, plus the AI coach can be disabled via Privacy Controls. The transition coincides with the launch of the Fitbit Air.
