Steps don't alway register

kayej221

Can anyone help me, I'm using an Apple Watch to do my steps, sometimes the steps show up on mfp, but sometimes they don't , for instance yesterday I did 10,301 steps and it only showed 144 on mfp, but the day before it was correct and showed them all??

is it like the fitbit and you have to sync it?

i know there have been a lot of synching issues seemingly across lots of tracking platforms lately.

I've found that my Apple Watch only adds the steps at the end of the day rather than mid way through.

Plus - random question: do you swing your arms when you walk?! When I'm doing my warm up and cool downs on the treadmill at the gym, my watch often doesn't pick up on those steps as I'm holding onto the treadmill (I can hear people shouting at me now). The watch tracks arm movements in order to help calculate steps so no arm movements, no steps registered.

Thanks for your reply, the watch shows all the steps fine, it's mfp that doesn't,
I've found sometimes even at the end of a night (when I've gone to bed) it's still don't show correct amount on mfp,
Sorry if I didn't make my question clear,
Thanks thou

Sounds like callsitlikeiseeit is right, it's a syncing problem. MFP is a bit hit and miss when it picks up steps. Perhaps flag it with tech?
