I am just curious if anyone knows if it is possible to count steps accrued while I didn’t have my phone, like on a run for example. Right now I wear a watch that sends step data to Garmin connect and it would be awesome if those steps could be pulled into the app somehow. My phone’s internal step counter is a little less reliable and mostly I just leave it at home often.

I think I saw watch compatibility is planned for a later update but wondering if I could just get it to pull from Garmin connect instead of phone internal sensors, basically using that as a liason between watch and this app (I don’t know if this makes any sense, I am not tech savvy)

Really enjoying the app otherwise!

    When I wore the Google watch, I would leave the phone at home and it would count just fine along with providing the path on a map afterwards (with other biometric data of course). Not sure about other vendors.

      Did that happen automatically or did you need to set it up a particular way to make that happen?

        I didn’t configure it in any special way. It did that out of the box. I have stopped using it though because the battery life was pathetic.
