Note: Google Fit/Samsung Health (Android) and Apple Health (iPhone) are free apps that turn your phone into a pedometer. To sync data from these services, be sure to open the IncentFit mobile app or log into the IncentFit website every few days. Most other tracker services such as Fitbit and Garmin will sync automatically every 24 hours once synced with your IncentFit account.
