App update in March 2017

[Book313]

I was wondering when the new app update would be in March. I was also wondering if there even wsa a scheduled app update soon... Any ideas?

@Book313, there was a new Fitbit Android app released a few days ago - it is version 2.42, and was released on Feb 6th.

So I can go to the app store and update my fitbit app? Or is a new app in general?

@Book313, the Fitbit Android app is in the Google Play Store, and the current version is 2.44.1.

I just checked the Play Store on my phone and it does not have an update for Fitbit to 2.45, so maybe tomorrow...

I joined just as the new dashboard app was being tested. I found it good on my tab, as the old version would only display length ways and would not auto rotate.  Today I find the new dashboard will no longer rotate and also half the tabs are missing - has there been an update since yesterday, and if so, is there any way of reversing it? ta

This morning version 2.45 was available, so I download/installed it and then restarted the phone. As soon as I opened the new version of the app, it began to sync the tracker.  I like the new tile design on this version.

@Chrissieb71, I moved your post to this existing thread about the new dashboard.  Are you using version 2.45?  Whether or not it rotates seems to depend on the phone or tablet you are using it on. Since you that "half" of the tabs are missing, I assume you are running it on a tablet, correct?  There is another thread about problems with the app on tablets. Check this thread to see if it addresses the same issues you are seeing:

Hi

Thank you for your reply, and for moving my post. I did subsequently see
that string and posted in there also.

Yes it is V 2.45 (2183107). I am using a Samsung Galaxy Tab S.

I don't believe it is a compatibility issue with my tab since, up until
this morning, it rotated to landscape fine and also displayed all the
tabs. Whatever they have done (overnight UK time) appears to have caused
the issues.

I tend to do work out routines at home and have my targets displayed on
my tab while I am doing it, so I can see instantly how I am doing - I
cannot do that with it only displaying in portrait view, or without half
of the tabs.

New firmware update for Blaze arrived for me this morning.
