Restart the GeoSmile app
When restarting the app, make sure to first exit the app using "Force close" from the settings screen, and then launch the app in a location with a good internet connection. -
Tap the [Update] button on the step count screen.
After tapping the [Update] button, when the screen for linking with your Google account appears, follow the instructions to complete account linkage.
*Depending on why the step count is not being measured, the screen for linking with your Google account may not appear. -
Check that "GeoSmile" is displayed in [Settings] -> [Manage connected apps] in the Google Fit app.
If you do not see "GeoSmile" on this screen, you may have a Google account linked to GeoSmile other than the account you use in Google Fit.
In such a case, switch to another Google account in the Google Fit app or open the Settings app and select [Google] -> [Account Services] -> [Google Fit], check the account linked to GeoSmile, remove the link, and restart GeoSmile.
Attention
The app uses the step count information measured by Google Fit. Therefore, if the step count is 0 in the Google Fit app, it will also be 0 in GeoSmile.
Please note that it may take some time for the step count information from Google Fit to be reflected in GeoSmile.
In addition, if the step count in Google Fit is manually changed or it is measured using a wearable devices, it will not be reflected in GeoSmile.
If the step count is not measured even after following all of the above procedures, please try [Account] -> [Step Settings] -> [Method] -> [Use Temporary setting].
*Depending on the Android device and OS version, menu names and display screens may differ. Please check the user's manual for details.
