Android Phone 🤖
When using Macadam on Android, you have the option to choose which pedometer counts your steps. Here are your options:
Health Connect (recommended)
Our recommended source on Android. A centralized and secure hub to store and synchronize health and fitness data between different applications on the same device.
Google Fit
Google is gradually replacing Google Fit with Health Connect. You can still use it for now, but we recommend switching to Health Connect: How to Sync Health Connect with Google Fit and Macadam.
Fitbit
