Along with the launch of the new Fitbit Air (which you can expect a full review of once we’ve spent more time with it), Google has officially replaced it with Google Health , as previously announced , and many of the responses we’ve seen so far are full of confusion, frustration, and requests to get the old app back. One post on Reddit calls out a common issue, saying, “I can’t even completely fill up my home screen. They only have 2 large tiles available and I can’t just scroll down to see everything.” The landing page has a small section up top showing steps and some other basic stats, but part of the app’s main page is now reserved for recent activity updates and chatty notes from Google’s AI health coach. The Verge is the main source layer for now, and the rest should be read as a signal that is still widening. Changes like this often look small on screen while shifting product habits and day-to-day operating workflows much faster than expected.
What is happening now
Along with the launch of the new Fitbit Air (which you can expect a full review of once we’ve spent more time with it), Google has officially replaced it with Google Health , as previously announced , and many of the responses we’ve seen so far are full of confusion, frustration, and requests to get the old app back.

Changes like this often look small on screen while shifting product habits and day-to-day operating workflows much faster than expected.
Why this matters most
The signal is strong enough to deserve attention, but it still needs to be read as something developing rather than fully settled. With 1 source layers on the table, the part worth reading most closely is where firm facts meet the market's early reaction. Another user said, “This graphic UI looks like something an 8 year old would make,” while someone else complained , “Why must I now scroll through paragraphs of AI slop on every tab before I can actually see my activities and data?
What to watch next
