Nighthawk app same "firmware not updated" when it is the correct version
I am unable to connect although I have the correct firmware version. Probably an App issue but they need to get this fixed.

Hi JoeM11,
Thanks for confirming. Your device's firmware is up to date and you should be good to go. I'll have the info forwarded to our App Team to look into the Nighthawk app and request for any changes needed.
Regards,
Christian

One year later.. still does not work. In the Nighthawk App on Android device I see a message that the firmware is out of date. Although, there is blue button at the bottom "CONNECT WITH ANYWHERE ACCESS". By pressing the button it opens a new screen saying that there are no devices available and I need to go to the app settings and enable anywhere access. The problem is, there is no MENU button anywhere. I found the app an absolute disgrace. No need to mention that it does not even allow me to log in with correct user name and password and I had to use 1-time password. It is that bad, and whatever business ideas they had behind the app, they will never reach users like me and people on this thread.

Which device are you trying to control and what is the firmware version on it? Apps and firmware are closely tied to one another.
You have joined in on an existing conversation that may or may not have anything to do with your problems.
There is also a good chance that the official support team is busily monitoring new conversations and may miss your addition to this long running saga.
If you do want help with your problem, check previous stuff that may be related then start your own discussion.
If you do decide to ask a question, you should provide more details and your own version of the information that the forum suggests that you provide.
Subject (Include model number and brief summary)
Model (Recommended - Helps the community give the best answers)
Body (Include additional detail including model version, firmware, OS and environment where relevant.)
That is there for a good reason.
