The buttons on the the Fitbit app aren’t working. I have updated the app, restarted phone, disconnect and reconnect Bluetooth and still not working. The Fitbit is connected and syncing with the app. The app appears to load properly but none of the functions are working. Please help, thanks

Welcome to the Fitbit Community, @rtwyerford.

 

I am sorry to hear the buttons on the app aren't working. Thanks for trying to resolve this, I appreciate the additional details and I am here to help. I recommend trying to log out of the app and log back in. If the issue persists, you may try to uninstall and reinstall the app. 

 

Let me know how it goes, I'll be around.

No, this is a software issue and a ticket should be issued internally. 5 of us thus far have had the wherewithal to search the community and determine whether other users are experiencing the same. 

I’d say that approximately a month ago the app stability has been particularly fragile and syncing has struggled. 

Not to espouse conspiracy theories, but this is oddly similar to Waze’s performance issues following Google’s acquisition. 

Can you please issue an internal ticket to issue a patch? I can confirm that this isn’t pilot error.

I am having the same problem. It just started today in the middle of a workout.

The same thing happened to me. I deleted the app and then restored it and logged back in and it works again.

I am also having this issue as of today. It’s tracking my steps and heart rate, but I am unable to access any of the other functions. I cannot record anything manually-weight, water, workout, nothing. Buttons do not respond.

This issue resolved itself the following day.

Mine was fixed a while ago but the issue has now come back. Ironically, I just applied the latest update yesterday.
