Pairing my Apple Watch to MFP app

AslinDFerRiv

New to this app. I’m trying to figure out how to pair this app with my watch in terms of activity.

Suggestions are welcome.
Thank you!

I think I had to set it up in the Activity App on the phone to send the info over to MFP. (i have a premium account; not sure if that makes a different)

There isn't an MFP connector that I have been able to find.

You can use an intermediary app such as Pacer App. Seems to fix some integration issues that result in exercise calories being deducted instead of added (*which of course will someday be fixed natively)

**Actually downloaded the “Pacer App” (which I like very much). But the “connection” was really by granting access between the Apple Watch thru “Health”.

No. You synced Apple directly. That is why you received 0 calories for your steps. You need to set it up to let Pacer sync with MFP.


Remove the Apple
Then
Go under Apps > Activity Trackers and select Pacer

Connect MFP to Pacer.

Connect Apple to Pacer.

Remove any and all direct connections between MFP and Apple.

Should result in Apple updating Pacer in a language they understand.

Pacer updating MFP in a language they understand.

Happy times!

Thanks should be directed to @heybales for developing the work around.
