To count your steps you need a fitness app such as Google Fit, which you should then connect to Health Connect so that the data from your fitness app can be transferred to the Vity app.
Even if your tracker isn't listed in the Vity app, chances are we can measure your steps or minutes traveled via Health Connect + Google Fit or Apple Health.
Here are a short instructions:
If you use an Android device and want to count your steps with a tracker, you'll need a few basics to ensure your data is transferred correctly.
1. Install the following apps:
- Vity App
- Google Fit to measure your data
- Data synchronization app e.g. Health Connect for transferring your collected data
2. Link the apps:
- open your data synchronization app (e.g. Health Connect )
- ensure permissions for data sharing
- ensure that e.g. Google Fit is used as a data source for your activity data
- open the Vity app and under Settings > Tracker connection and select Health Connect to transfer the collected data from e.g. Google Fit
Done! Once you've set everything up and all connections are established, your data can be transferred.
Important note:
The Google Fit app does not transfer data to the Vity app, therefore the combination with the data synchronization app (e.g. Health Connect ) required so that your data can be transferred correctly and completely to the Vity app.
Requirement for the Health Connect App: If you choose to use the Health Connect App, your Android device must have at least Android version 9
Alternatives to Health Connect: Health Connect is offered directly by Android, but there are alternatives for data synchronization apps, for example: - Health Sync
- SyncMyTracks
Other alternatives to Google Fit:
- Samsung Health

2. Allow access to Apple Health (you can also find this option in the settings).
3. Open the Apple Health app and navigate to "Sources," select the tracker, and enable access.
Step 4: Open the Vity app and go to Settings > Tracker Connection and select Apple Health.
