The phone number to call from the UK is: 0800 069 8505. Operation hours: 9:00am - 6:00pm. If you're not in the USA or if you prefer an online chat or email, then click for contact options

I spoke to customer services yesterday about this concern. I was instructed to shut down the device, delete the app, close out the tabs, etc. when none of this solved the problem I was told that the problem would be resolved in about 4 hours. I went back this morning and nothings had been solve, it remained unable to open. I am using an iPad 7 gen. Can anyone explain why this app isn’t working. I don’t want to have to send back my NEW Fitbit. 

p.s. I’ve also checked many times for updates.

The same thing is still happening to

me and it’s been weeks. Every few days I can get it to open for a few minutes but it takes me hours. I’ve updated the app to the latest version and I’m using the most up to date

ios as well. I’ve deleted, reinstalled, restarted my phone, tried opening from App Store. Nothing is helping and I’m getting tired of it too. I just want to use my fitbit but I’m so frustrated. Please fix the app ASAP

I called cutomer support. The person said to call back.  That was a joke because I got the next person and he had no clue what was happening.  I bought another FIT BIt thinking it was the device. It wan't it s the APP. Just hope I can return the new device! I'm Sick of it already!
