Google fit

[JoanyB]

HelloI've been using Active 10 for a few years now.

Today it is wanting to access my Google account in order to use Google Fit.

I don't want to do this but it seems I have no alternative.

I've un-/re-installed Active 10 but no luck.

Any ideas?

how strange… have you looked in the preferences in case connected devices link to Google fit?

[JoanyB in reply to CBDB]

Thanks I'll have another look around.

I do use Fitbit, but again I've used them both for years

Mine has gone funny. Ditched all my data and not picking up my new walks.

[CBDB Administrator in reply to Runawaytrainer]

Bummer! Will take out mine for a walk just now and see what it does. Are you iOS or Android?

[Runawaytrainer in reply to CBDB]

Android. I've left it alone but at some point I'll either work out what's wrong or find another app.

I wondered about this myself but just allowed access as I had to bring my phone anyway and if active 10 needed it to record my walks then I didn't see the harm, is there something wrong with Google fit

Yes, I don’t know much about androids or Google phones, as I am in IOS. But I reckon if the operating system on that phone is Google, then it needs to access the Operating System’s tracking/GPS features, so might need access to give the location to the A10 app? But not sure how it works or if this has changed due to an Operating System Update.
