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:nprofile1qythwue69uhnzwfj9cunjt35xchrzvfj8g6rsdpcqywhwumn8ghj7er9wchxummnw3e8qmrp09nhymm4dejzucm0d5qzpava9vgvye0hzhj34gctglmsaaeg0fm2f4mvwjjkdtctsm3y9a83ym5v08
There will be a next challenge.
We will definitely investigate GrapheneOS a little more as there seems to be some issues lately.
