Update 9/17/2019: We have released iOS app version 3.6.1 to all users. Please update your app to this version. It is recommended to all experiencing continuous crashes and should resolve this issue.
Hi Everyone - I've merged several posts together.
We're aware of an issue that may cause some iOS users to experience a continuous crash when trying to open the app after updating to version 3.6.
To resolve this, please try to uninstall and reinstall the app from the app store. Even if you have tried this previously, please try again.
If this does not work, our team is working to resolve it and hope to have a fix soon. Be sure to keep your Fitbit device and app up-to-date to ensure you receive the quickest resolution.
We're sorry for any trouble. We appreciate your patience and look forward to getting you back on track.

Ditto, keeps happening to me too. Was wearing the blaze this morning, last synced last night absolutely fine, went to do it this afternoon and it didn’t work. I switched back to my charge 3, deleted the app and re-downloaded thinking maybe it was something to do with that and still doesn’t work. Opens for a couple of seconds then crashes out. Annoyyyyyiiiinng.

I'm having the same issue. Starting about 30 minutes ago my app crashed when I opened it. I've restarted my phone twice, and re-downloaded the app three times since. Maybe the whole fitbit system is down??? Hopefully it gets fixed quickly.

I just got off the phone with Fitbit techs and they said that new software that is updating is causing the app to crash and to retry tomorrow.

I'm hoping it's a temporary problem. No one seems to understand it at this time. I've been working out so hard today and I want my stats. It's just making me want to go back to Polar.

I just tried an advice found somewhere in this community and it worked. Close the Fitbit app. Disable Bluetooth. Reopen the app. Remove devices (I deleted former titbits I didn’t use anymore). Close the app. Put Bluetooth back on. It works now...

Did you restart your phone after uninstalling the app? I tried it without restarting my phone but it didn't work so I tried again. I uninstalled the app, restarted the phone, installed the app again and it worked perfectly. I was extremely frustrated when I couldn't get it added easily but I'm now very happy with it...at least so far. An apple watch isn't an option for Android users.

Im having the same problem. It crashed every time I connect my charge 3 to my iPhone 8. At one point of my rage fueled self trying to connect, I logged into my account perfectly fine but my charge wasn’t connected. Immediately as it did, It crashed.

Hi
just bought a new Versa 2 after my old Versa was stolen in. April :(.
Cant set it up. App just crashed every time on my iPhone 6. Tried on my husband iPhone XS max and same thing happened. Switched off phone and tried to switch off phone but you can’t do much in set up mode. Sending back to Amazon tomorrow. 😞

Yep, same problem here. Uninstall, restart and reinstall did not fix.
i notice the crash is at the Updating Databases stage. Is it worth mentioning that all my units of measure are set to metric? °C, kJ, ml, km etc.
