How to Connect Polar to Cadoo: Setup Guide
How Polar Works With Cadoo Today
Cadoo does not connect to Polar directly today. Cadoo reads your daily steps from Apple Health on iPhone or Health Connect on Android. If the Polar Flow app writes your steps there, those steps count in Cadoo step games. 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.
- In the Polar Flow app, turn on step syncing to Apple Health (iPhone) or Health Connect (Android).
- 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 Polar today. Reps are counted by CadooVision.
Troubleshooting
- Steps not showing? Open the Polar Flow app so it syncs, then check that your steps appear in Apple Health or Health Connect.
- Still missing? Make sure Cadoo has permission to read steps in Apple Health or Health Connect.
