Google to Fitbit users: SCREW YOU! No web portal for you!
Google bought Fitbit in 2021, and has been progressively trying to make things worse for those users. In their latest move, they're shutting down the web portal next month, making the only access to massive amounts of data through their app. And a phone app at that. No larger devices, like tablets. Just a phone app.
Remember Google, the company who announced their corporate motto is "Don't be evil"?
Garmin and Apple both offer tablet apps for their watches.

I've never trusted Google. Their entire raison d'etre has been to sell ads. Everything they do is ultimately in the service of that one goal.

waves hand Pebble owner here. I was very disappointed when the Pebble C-suite screwed the pooch and handed over the company to Fitbit for pennies. But my Time was retired by that point and I'd already moved on to an Apple Watch, IIRC, or was soon to.
