One quick note on the technology we are using on reading the pedometer on Android:

In the past reading sensor data was only possible while the app was open. With the latest API (hardware <-> OS) it is possible to close the app and when coming back still have the step count in place.

Differences between iOS and Android:

- for iOS users: they can access step counts even before date of app installation

- Android users can only track their steps after they installed the app and gave permission to read activity data

- Android users must NOT uninstall the app (specially not during a challenge) because they loose access to the sensor data and will start from zero

- on both OS you are "allowed" to fully close the app and reopen it and not loose your step count (only iOS users may uninstall the app and re-install)

Known bugs:

August 2025:

- when coming back to the app the progress on a challenge may show 0. This is typically solved by walking a few steps with the phone or switching tabs in the app front and back.

- some users report having trouble that their move-to-earn tab stopped counting while they still have the steps inside the health tab. This can only be a UI glitch since the access to the step count is the same on both ends. Please reopen the app or switch tabs.

If any serious bugs kept you from participating in a challenge, please repost to us nostr:npub17kwjkyxzvhm3teg65v950acw7u585a4y6ak8fftx4u9cdcjz7ncss8jl36

There will be a next challenge.

We will definitely investigate GrapheneOS a little more as there seems to be some issues lately.
