How to Connect Fitbit to Cadoo: Setup Guide
How Fitbit Works With Cadoo Today
Cadoo does not connect to Fitbit directly today. Fitbit counts through Health Connect on Android: if the Fitbit app writes your steps to Health Connect, those steps count in Cadoo step games. On iPhone, Cadoo reads steps from Apple Health, which records your iPhone and Apple Watch steps. Pushups, situps, squats, pullups, dips, and planks are counted by CadooVision with your phone camera, so those games need no wearable.
Step-by-Step Setup
- Download Cadoo from the App Store or Google Play and create your account.
- On Android, in the Fitbit app, turn on step syncing to Health Connect.
- In Cadoo, allow access to your steps in Apple Health or Health Connect when asked.
- Join a step game and move as you normally would.
What Counts Today
Steps from Apple Health or Health Connect count in step games. Cadoo does not read runs, rides, swims, or sleep from Fitbit today. Reps are counted by CadooVision.
Troubleshooting
- Steps not showing? Open the Fitbit app so it syncs, then check that your steps appear in Health Connect.
- Still missing? Make sure Cadoo has permission to read steps in Apple Health or Health Connect.
