Can't access Family account

This is the least useful app when trying to set up a device for a kid. It tells me I have a family account, but I cannot access it. It should never take an hour to try to sync a kid device and Fitbit app is stupid, useless and worthless waste of time.

Welcome to the Fitbit Community, @Fitsrupid.

 

Thanks for the details shared in your post. I am sorry to hear about the frustration this situation has caused. Thank you for your feedback as it helps us to keep improving. I recommend doing the following:

 

  1. Log out from the Fitbit app.
  2. Force quit the Fitbit app.
  3. Reboot your phone.
  4. Open the Fitbit app and log back into your account.
  5. If the issue persists, please uninstall and reinstall the Fitbit app.

By the way, I've moved your post to the Ace & Family Accounts board so we can keep our forums organized.

 

Hope this helps.

Has this changed, @LiliyaFitbit? I thought my kids used to sync on their kindles. Switching between their devices and mine on my phone is cumbersome and frustrating. They often lose data because they don't sync regularly - they opt out of using their fitbits as a result.
