Sync timing

When your app syncs

New activity reaches MoveTogether once Polar Flow shares it to Apple Health or Health Connect and MoveTogether syncs. On iPhone, Sync activity in the + menu pulls it in right away.

Scoring with Polar.

Every scoring method is fair here, because every device sends its data the same way. Two that suit it:

Workout Count

A point for every logged session.

Total Activity

Rewards total volume across calories, minutes, and steps.

Polar questions, briefly answered.

I use a Polar chest strap with another app. Does it count?

Only if the workout reaches Polar Flow, or another app that shares to Apple Health or Health Connect.

Are training load or recovery scores used?

No. Competitions score Move, Exercise, and Steps.

I wear a Polar and another device. Which one counts?

The one you pick. MoveTogether counts one tracker toward your rings. Change it any time on iPhone: tap your photo on Home, then the gear, then Data Sources.

Polar, where it competes.

Turn on sharing in Polar Flow, then allow MoveTogether to read it.
