Add notification on Fitbit app if there is a server issue

[JonaUKresident]

Basically the last few days seem to have caused a lot of people issue as they couldn’t sync, update, correct steps etc.
if the app had an announcement box at the top saying about a particular issue then perhaps Fitbit community wouldn’t express their angst so much

If app is having trouble communicating with fitbit cloud services, display an outage status in the app.

It would be really helpful if you could send out a text or email update when the app goes down and when it is back online. This would save all of us the time of troubleshooting to figure out what the problem is when it isn’t on our end. Thanks!
