A few weeks ago, the Android app for my Fitbit started to "hang" when I opened it and the auto sync started up, or when I did a manual data sync. This is not a consistent problem, but happens after I've done several syncs -- either after a few days of use, or after multiple activities (maybe over the span of only a day or two) -- but once it happens, it keeps happening, even if I close the app, then re-open the app. Once this happens, the only thing I've found that works is to either do a "Force stop" of the Android app, or restart my phone -- after either of those actions, the sync works fine again ... for a while. It happens again after a few days of use, or after multiple activities (maybe over the span of only a day or two)..

Hi @2Young2BThis0ld! Welcome back.
Thanks for your reply. In that case, I suggest you wait a few days to receive the new update for your app.
Thank you for keeping everything updated.

I now have the latest version of the Fitbit app (4.58) on my phone, and the "lock up" issue hasn't happened -- I think. Honestly, I'd gotten so accustomed to doing the "Force stop" and re-open for the app when it hung, that I may have done this a time or two since I updated the app and I just don't remember! However, it seems like maybe the problem has been "fixed".
I'll post again if/when the lockup problem recurs.

Fitbit Moderator McCrisGBFitbit, whether it was you or some other Fitbit moderator who is referenced in my original post:
"Moderator edit: updated subject for clarity"
Whoever did it, the "subject" of this thread now reads as "Fitbit App - the app is stucked."
Seriously?????? "the app is stucked" ?????????????????
Could you (or some other moderator) please fix this to "the app is stuck" ?????????????????????????
I really, REALLY dislike a post with my tag associated with it, especially when I started the thread, that reads soooooo poorly. Fix this, please.

Is your "lockup" problem fixed now?
Mine seems to have stopped when I updated to the latest version of the app (4.58, I think).
