If your data isn't syncing to the app, check your event's details for activity-tracking start and end dates.

For additional help, check our connection help guide.
How do I change the fitness tracker I have connected in the app?
From Profile, Devices, select Disconnect on the tracker that's currently connected. Connect a new device.
How are daily totals calculated?
Daily totals are calculated by subtracting step-earning activities from the total daily steps. For example: You walk 30 minutes (2,000 steps) for your event and your daily step count is 4,000. Good Move will calculate your daily total as 2,000 to avoid awarding points twice for the same steps.

Use our manual entry feature to record activities such as reading or advocacy. To ensure you're logging the appropriate activity types for your event, check the Point System tab.
Can I connect more than one fitness tracker at once?
To prevent duplicate data, you can only connect one fitness tracking device at a time. You can always disconnect your tracker and connect another tracker.

Good Move doesn’t directly connect with Samsung. Try connecting your Samsung device with your Google Fit, Garmin, Strava, or Fitbit. Connecting your Samsung device to one of Good Move’s primary activity-tracking devices might sync your data with Good Move.
