If you uninstall and reinstall, will all your history be lost?

@Sehat - 

 

I have "uninstalled-restalled" numerous times in an attempt (which failed) to solve the Bluetooth pairing issues.

 

No loss of history as it is stored on the FitBit Servers, not your phone.

I disconnected & then reconnected Bluetooth last night on both iPad & iPhone & was finally able to synch. Today, Fitbit will synch on iPad but am having same problem on iPhone again.
