Google Fit is a popular fitness tracking app on Android, and Count.It supports a direct integration. If your activity isn’t syncing, here are the steps to get things flowing again.
Important Note: By the end of 2026, Google is migrating all of its users from Google Fit (and Fitbit) to their new Google Health app. Google recommends people use Android Health Connect to sync all their fitness data from diverse sources -- AHC is now the data hub app for Android devices.
To support this process, Count.It has implemented a phased migration for its Google Fit users:
Active Google Fit connections will continue to work (sync) for current users, but it is now unavailable on Count.It for new users.
Any existing user who toggles OFF their Google Fit connection will no longer see it on their trackers screen.
All Google Fit users (or Google Health users) wanting to sync with Count.It should switch to Android Health Connect. Here's how:
Connect Fitness Apps and Manage Permissions
Open Health Connect using the steps above.
Tap Get Started if it is your first time opening the app.
Select App permissions under Permissions and data.
Choose the fitness or health app you want to connect from the list.
Select the specific data categories you want to share (like steps, sleep, or heart rate).
Tap Allow to confirm.
✅ Step 1: Confirm Google Fit Is Connected in Count.It
Open the Count.It app.
Go to Settings → Trackers.
Make sure Google Fit is listed as connected.
If it's not syncing, try toggling the connection off, then back on.
🔐 Step 2: Confirm Google Fit Permissions
Open the Google Fit app.
Tap your profile picture (top right), then go to Settings → Manage Connected Apps.
You should see Count.It Journey in the list.
Tap it to confirm that necessary permissions are granted (especially for activity data).
⚙️ Step 3: Confirm Android-Level Activity Permissions
If permissions are missing at the system level, Count.It may not be able to access your movement data.
Go to your phone’s Settings.
Navigate to:
Security & Privacy → Permissions Manager → Physical ActivityFind Count.It in the list and make sure it’s set to “Allow”.
🧠 Still Not Syncing?
Make sure you’ve logged steps or exercise data during the challenge window.
Google Fit does not sync in the background as frequently as Health Connect. Open Count.It regularly to prompt updates.
Restart your phone and re-open Count.It to trigger a sync.
