How can I be sure that my tracker is properly connected?

Here are the top 4 tips to ensure your sports app is properly connected:

πŸ‘‰ Go to Connected App(s) and check that one of the activity tracking apps such as Garmin, Suunto, Polar, Fitbit, Nike Running Club, Runkeeper, MapMyRun/Ride, etc. is connected (with the little tick βœ…)

πŸ‘‰ We recommend that you only connect one app to avoid your activities conflicting with each other. Careful though, your distances entered manually do not always allow you to complete our challenges: make sure you can track your activities with GPS tracking (running, cycling, ...)

πŸ‘‰ It is imperative that you connect your application before your first activity. When you connect a new app to our system, only your next activities will be synced. We cannot retroactively sync your previous activities...

πŸ‘‰ Once connected, please check that your device is correctly configured: we advise performing a test activity beforehand - for instance, a 10-second activity to check the synchronization πŸ˜‰

πŸ’‘ If you already have a tracker connected but your activities are not or do not automatically sync with Sport Heroes, disconnect and reconnect your tracker from your account.
