Google Health app rollout sparks fury among Fitbit users

Fitbit long‑time users are rallying against the forced migration to the Google Health app, a move that has ignited a wave of criticism across Reddit and the Play Store.

Google Health app: users demand a rollback

On the r/fitbit subreddit, a post titled “Thanks, Google, for ruining Fitbit” has amassed ↑2,000 upvotes, with commenters cancelling premium subscriptions and calling for refunds.

“The new UI is unintuitive, data like sleep stages vanished, and the AI coach can’t be disabled,” wrote one veteran user.

Critics also note that the app forces AI prompts on every screen, turning simple activity logs into “paragraphs of AI slop,” as one Redditor put it.

Negative sentiment is reflected in the Google Play store, where the average rating has slipped ↓30% since the rollout.

Google has pledged a roadmap of fixes, citing Reuters for the official statement, and promises updates to begin rolling out this week.

Meanwhile, the broader tech community watches closely, recalling how the pandemic accelerated digital‑health adoption and set expectations that Google now appears to be missing.
