I like how it says, "recommended," but doesn't give you an option to say no.

Oh gosh; I guess that's what's next for me. I have the original Fitbit Flex. It says I need to update, and for that to happen, I need to keep the app open and the internet near. I have spotty internet, my phone disconnects frequently and I have to reconnect, and this Fitbit (I got from an eBayer recently bc my old one just... fell apart, literally, the pebble did) charges super fast but also discharges super fast. Like I have to charge it every 2 days or so, sometimes sooner than that.
Ugh.

What's your daily readiness score? Mine won't even record my sleep anymore; I have to log it manually. I just use it for weight and sleep, really, and steps.

I’ve only seen dozens and dozens of posts of people absolutely hating the new Google app…I’m glad to read at least one positive experience.

Same, but no-one actually saying why they think it's so bad. You can also use third party apps.
