    Fitbit Syncing

    I'm getting so frustrated with how often steps do not sync between MyFitnessPal and Fitbit. It never used to be this bad. Any idea why it's happening so often now?

      Do you have an iPhone? Maybe it happened after the update we did a few months ago? My Fitbit won't notify me when I receive texts anymore and I hate it!!!!!!! I know, it's a First World Problem ;)

      Sometimes my Fitbit syncs okay to MyFitnessPal, and most days it does not. I've tried going thru MFP and taking it off and putting it back on, and then it stopped syncing again. Shouldn't have to remove it constantly and reconnect it! So frustrating!

      Yup totally frustrating. It has happened for years. The reason I won't pay for Premium.

      Yup when you can't get the base level right why would I pay. It has always been a problem with the app.

      This was happening to me today also. I found a suggested fix that worked. Log in to MFP on the internet. Go to exercises and add an exercise like walking and save it. I put 10 min for the time. I reopened the app, and everything synced up. I then went back and deleted the manual entry. I hope this doesn't become a regular thing.

      Mine won't sync with the app. When I set it up it went to the mfp website.

      That's weird. I haven't had any problems with it at all. I log my food into MFP and the numbers show up in the fitbit app while the fitbit tracks all cals burned in exercise and that shows up in MFP. I love it, I hope you guys can figure out the problem soon.
