Frequently Asked Questions
What can I use to track my steps?
You can use any type of activity tracker that you have to track your steps. This could be an internal smart phone pedometer, a step counting app or any other type of wrist or hip worn device which counts steps. You can enter steps from any device which you have used to count your steps on either the website or app.
How can I sync my steps?
Use the 10,000 Steps mobile app for iOS or Android devices to sync your steps through Apple Health or Health Connect. Third party devices can also be connected via Apple Health and Health Connect. Find out more with can I sync my step tracking device?
Can I track other activities?
Every move counts, whether you are a wheelchair user or like to swim, cycle, garden or lift. You can use the moderate and/or vigorous intensity sections in the Dashboard on the web or app to add the time in minutes for your non-step activity. This will add additional steps calculated based on your entered activity minutes. Check out the conversion here.
Can I join the November Monthly Challenge if I am also a part of a Group or Tournament?
Yes, you can join the November Monthly Challenge in addition to a Group Challenge or Tournament. You don't need to log your steps multiple times - just once per day. Your steps will only count once towards the Billion Steps Challenge Leaderboard, even when you participate in multiple challenge types during November.
