Resetting the Pedometer on iOS

Fix step counting issues with this complete troubleshooting guide

Updated over 3 weeks ago

If you're experiencing issues with the Macadam app not displaying the correct number of steps, follow this troubleshooting guide to restore accurate step tracking.


Step 1: Verify Apple Health Setup

Open the Apple Health app and check that it's actively counting your steps. You should see a screen displaying your current step count (If yes, you can move to Step 2) :

Example with Apple Health counting 137 steps

If Apple Health isn't set up properly: You'll see a setup screen instead. Follow these steps:

  1. Complete the setup process shown in the Apple Health app

  2. Click on "Continue"

  3. Health Details (Name, Last Name, etc...) and App notification are not mandatory


Step 2: Reinstall the Macadam App

Why this helps: Reinstalling often resolves connectivity and data synchronization issues between apps.

Steps:

  1. Uninstall the Macadam app from your phone

  2. Download and install the latest version from the App Store (Where can I download Macadam app ?)

💡 Important: Write down the email address associated with your Macadam account before uninstalling, as you'll need it to log back in.


Step 3: Reconnect Your Accounts

Log back into Macadam:

  1. Open the newly installed Macadam app

  2. Sign in using your registered email address

  3. Complete the onboarding process

Critical connection step:

  1. Allow activity tracking when prompted

  2. Allow Apple Health data access when prompted (Active Energy + Steps + Walking + Running distance)

Verify success:

  • Return to the main screen and check if your steps are now displaying correctly

  • Your step count should match what you see in Apple Health
