IS MY PHONE OPERATING SYSTEM COMPATIBLE WITH THE FITBIT APP?

To use the Fitbit app you must have one of the following operating systems installed on your phone or tablet:

• Apple iOS 9 or higher
• Android OS 5.0 or higher
• Windows 10 version 1607.0 or higher

Any help gratefully recieved xx

Android version 5 is Lollipop so version 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 are ok which are Lollipop, Marshmallow, Nougat, Oreo and Pie.

Your best bet would be to look at the list of supported phones at www.fitbit.com/devices If it's on there and you are buying it new then it will have a supported OS and will work fine. If it's not on that list then it may or may not work ok and it's best to search the community to see if others have used that phone ok.
