I just bought both of my kids the Fitbit ace 2. When I created their profile in the family section it then explains to switch to kid view. When I switch to kid view it hangs out on the loading screen and eventually shuts down the app and I have to log in and try again. What is the problem Fitbit? I’ve updated my phone and the app, I’ve restarted everything and nothing is working. I bought these for my kids and I can’t use them because of this problem. When will I get an answer? I called the customer support number and my fiancé reached out on Fitbit support on Twitter and we still have no answers. Don’t you think this is something you should tell people about so we don’t spend money on a device that we can’t use????? HELP ME PLEASE! I specifically chose these over the garmin vivofit 2 because my fiancé and I use Fitbit but I’m really starting to regret that decision.

Agreed. Customer service only apologized and told me there was nothing they could do when I told them the App wasn't working. $140.00 spent on two Fitbit Ace 2's for my kids, and we couldn't use them. Frustrating to say the least. Luckily, their most recent App update fixed the issue.

Hi there - did you get a solution? Same problem here with new device bought for my daughters birthday less than 1 month ago. Very frustrating!
