This article is for an older version of the Big Team Challenge Android app that integrates with Google Fit.

Our new Android app has migrated to Health Connect. If you have the new app (version >= 2.0), you can view instructions on how to setup Health Connect here

Please note: There may be a delay in the initial Google Fit sync. Please allow at least a few hours after enabling the Google Fit Sync option for your steps to start syncing.

We have a video tutorial that shows you how to connect Google Fit:

After following the steps outlined below, the Big Team Challenge app will sync your latest step count from Google Fit each time you open the app. This provides you with an easy and hassle-free way of adding your steps to the challenge.

Open the Sync Devices Screen

Tap on the menu button then select Sync Devices from the list.

Connect to Google Fit

Tap on Connect to Google Fit in the Devices section.

Confirm to Continue

The next screen will tell you a little bit more about the connection. Tap Connect if you're happy to continue.

Grant Access to Your Activity Data

Google will now ask you to grant us access to your physical activity data. If you wish to continue, tap Allow.

Confirm You're Connected

If everything worked correctly, you'll be taken back to the Big Team Challenge app. The top of the Sync Devices screen should say Connected and the list entry will have updated to read Disconnect. If you wish to disconnect from Google Fit in the future, just tap on that entry in the list.

Start Walking!

Big Team Challenge will now ask Google Fit for you latest step count every time you open the app. These steps will be synced to the challenge.

If your steps aren't syncing, please check that your latest steps are showing in the Google Fit app.

Please note: There may be a delay in the initial Google Fit sync. Please allow at least a few hours after enabling the Google Fit Sync option for your steps to start syncing.
