Money-Motivated Fitness Games That Work With Your Garmin

Your Garmin on Cadoo

Cadoo is a fitness game app: commit to a goal with friends, hit it, and the winners get paid. Here is exactly what counts on Cadoo today, so you know what your Garmin can do.

How Garmin Works With Cadoo Today

Cadoo reads steps from Apple Health on iPhone or Health Connect on Android. Garmin Connect can sync your steps to either one, so the steps your Garmin records count in Cadoo step games. A direct Garmin Connect integration is coming next.

Games You Can Play Today

  • Step games: hit a daily step goal, such as 8,000 steps a day, with steps from Apple Health (iPhone) or Health Connect (Android).
  • Rep games: pushups, situps, squats, pullups, dips, and planks are counted by CadooVision, the phone camera check, so they need no wearable.

Cadoo does not read runs, rides, swims, or sleep from Garmin today.

How to Start

  1. Download Cadoo from the App Store or Google Play.
  2. In Garmin Connect, turn on syncing to Apple Health or Health Connect.
  3. In Cadoo, allow access to your steps in Apple Health or Health Connect.
  4. Join a game and move.

Start with a Garmin fan game.
