Google Health replaces Fitbit app leaving users frustrated

The Short Version

Google Health replaced the Fitbit app for millions of users, reserving home screen space for AI coach chats instead of fitness tiles.

Google replaced the Fitbit app that millions of people actually liked with Google Health, and the new app reserves prime home screen space for an AI chat coach instead of the fitness tiles users want. A $99 Fitbit tracker now exposes how unfinished the software feels. Google made a deliberate choice to prioritize AI conversation over basic usability, and users are paying the price for a product decision that served Google's priorities, not theirs.
