Fitbit question

I have a Fitbit HR Charger but this app does not sync with the correct # of steps. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

    I have a fitbit flex and find the sync takes a while to catch up. Often the counts are totally different so I will open the fitbit app and force it to sync,then close both apps, and when I reopen MFP it will sync after a minute or two, to the correct step count.

    Sometimes I have to kill both apps and then I launch the fitbit app and sync it. It then I open up the MFP app and refresh and then I find that it has the correct amount of steps. It can be finicky.

    I had nothing but dramas with fitbit syncing for 12 months before I finally gave up. I use a Misfit shine 2 now and it works faultlessly every time.

    Also worth doubling checking what device its choosing steps from. After an update mine switched from fitbit to phone steps (and I dont carry my phone around with me). In apps- steps on the PC
