Just bought a new Zip. Very excited to use it but it won't sync 🙁. It will connect once and then when I try to sync again it won't. I've tried uninstalling the app, taking out the battery, turning off bluetooth, restarting my phone. Tried syncing to my husbands iPhone instead and still the same problem. Also cannot install the firmware update. Did I just get a dud? Or does it have to do with the firmware update? I'm on a Galaxy S8 and my husband is on a iPhone 10.

Hello,
I have done everything in those links. I also tried to install the firmware update from a windows computer and that did not work. The only way I can get the app to sync is to delete the zip from the app and add it again. It will sync that one time and not again until I remove it again.
