I keep having to restart my phone in order for it to sync. I have trying the force quit and I have also tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but didn't work. This seems to be a huge issue with the app. Is Fitbit ever going to fix this?

@cmcapone Welcome to the Fitbit Community! It's great to have you here! Sorry to hear that you need to restart your phone in order to sync your Fitbit device. Which phone are you using? Is it compatible? You can try going to your phone's bluetooth settings and remove all devices listed there. Restart your phone and restart your device. After this try syncing them. Also, if you are using an Android device, check that your app has the necessary permissions (settings > apps > Fitbit > permissions) and make sure bluetooth and location services (GPS) are on.
Let me know how it goes!

I have uninstalled and reinstalled app. I have also unpaired and paired fitbit device. I am using the LG G7 Thin. When I first got my fitbit everything worked perfectly for months. It wasn't until recently that it started acting up. When I checked my phone Thursday morning, it said couldn't find device. The last sync was the Tuesday. Had to AGAIN restart phone and then it worked fine. I am having to do this every single day. I have done research and this has been an issue with multiple users for a very long time and seems like Fitbit doesn't care to fix it. Fitbit customer service is terrible.

I have the same problem. I have a Motorola Z2 Force. I have to restart every day as well. It doesn't count my steps and I don't get notifications on my Fitbit if I don't restart.

I have to restart my fitbit at least 3 times a day and I have checked all permissions
