I am using materializecss in my app script add-on, When I try and add a tooltip dynamically the tip does not update with the new label. I have tried several variations and even double-checked that the tip was being changed, which it was.  The problem is that it does not seem to reinitialize with the updated text.
Here is a jfiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/edlisten/grafo4su/1/

      <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/materialize/0.97.5/js/materialize.min.js"></script>
     <script>
         $(function() {
          $('.tooltipped').tooltip({delay: 50,tooltip:"new",position:"bottom"});
        });
        </script>
      </head>
      <body>
      <div class="container">
      <a class="btn tooltipped">Hover me!</a>
        </div>
      </body>
    </html>
What you can do is set an id to the anchor.
Lets say <a class="btn tooltipped" id="tooltip">Hover me!</a>
Now we can find easily the element with jquery.
var anchorElement = $('#tooltip');
Materialize has an atribute data-tooltip you need to have on the element so that the tooltip will pop out.
anchorElement.attr('data-tooltip', 'New tooltip value');
And finally we need to initialize the materialize tooltip on the element
anchorElement.tooltip();
You can play around with it and put it in a function.
