Have you tried following the steps in the Fitbit help article? There should be some troubleshooting options there.

Please, @Sylaam when asking about the Fitbit app, be kind enough to include which one of the 6 possible Fitbit app types that your having a problem with. 

Without this info, we can only give generic help such as 

Make sure app and phone or updated. 

Restart the tracker

Restart the phone.

It only says "Fitbit, Inc" on my app.

I have restarted the app, reinnsalled it, restarted the phone. Sometimes it works, but after an update it start to "mailfunction" again.

I just tried to open it, and it worked again. But it still will not accept/sync the hike we did. The "picture" in the ap is just spinning, like it is reloading.

Outside of the normal things mentioned in the help doc that was tred .

Make sure Bluetooth is on

Make sure any other device you have ever synced through is turned off if it is within 50 feet. 

Make sure the Fitbit app and the phones OS is up to date. 

Restarted the tracker 

Restarted the phone. this needs to be done at least once a week on any android device. Android is bad at releasing memory. 

Turned Bluetooth off/on

 

I will add to try the following. 

Try the shutdown command found under the ionic settings. Press any button to turn on

Swipe any unneeded apps out of memory. 

Go into the phone settings - app - Fitbit - clear cache 

While you are there kill the Fitbit app. 

If it hasn't synced in any of the previous steps it should have by now. 

If not try cellular data if you have been using WiFi.
