Here at Android Authority, we’re also seeing the same issue. It appears when you open the app, none of the data is populating. Not only that, but it seems that the Coach tab is completely down for the count.
Based on the reports, it looks like 78% of the issues revolve around the app itself. While 13% are having problems with the website, and 9% are reporting issues with their Fitbit device.
At the time of writing, Fitbit has yet to acknowledge the issue via its public support channels. So, as of right now, we have no timetable for a fix. As a result, it is not known how long Fitbit will stay down.
