How do I correct or delete an inaccurate data point?

If your fitness tracker is making you look too good or too bad, it's easy to set the record straight.

Correct Data Logged via Count.It

If you simply entered incorrect data via the Count.It manual entry form, that's an easy fix:

  • Open your activity log, and tap on the activity "card" with the incorrect data.

  • On the activity detail screen, scroll down and tap the "Delete" link.

  • Once deleted, you can add back the correct data with a new manual entry.

Correct Data Sync'd from a Fitness App

Fitness tracking apps are generally reliable, but sometimes they can record inaccurate data. If you notice that your fitness tracker is reporting incorrect activity, you can easily update or delete the data on Count.It by correcting it in your connected app. Once the data is updated, it will sync automatically with Count.It.

Follow these simple steps to correct or remove any inaccurate data points:

  • Correct the Data in Your Fitness App:
    Open the fitness tracking app you use and locate the incorrect activity. Each tracker has different steps for editing or deleting activity—see the links below for detailed instructions. Once you find the activity, tap to either delete or edit the data.

PRO Tip

If you cannot find the link to delete a data point in your fitness app, it’s likely because the data is coming from another source. For example, Google Fit does not allow the deletion of activity records from other sources. To remove this data, you must go to the original source (e.g., the wearable app) and delete it there.

  • Sync the Data to Count.It:
    After correcting the data, close and reopen your Count.It app. Tap the "manual sync" button on your challenge screen to force a full refresh of your activity logs. This will sync all data from the last 28 days or since the start of your challenge.
