Frequently Asked Questions
How do I pair to my Fitbit device?
You don’t need to! The Breathe app talks directly to Fitbit’s servers in order to retrieve activity, sleep and resting heart rate data. You just need to make sure that you synchronise (sync) your fitness tracker with the Fitbit app regularly, so that Breathe can collect accurate and up-to-date metrics from the Fitbit server.
Why can’t I manually add activities in Breathe app?
For simplicity we are retrieving your activity from your Fitbit activity tracker. Try to wear your Fitbit as much as possible to ensure the accuracy of this data.
Why is my heart rate not visible in Breathe app?
Your Fitbit needs to be regularly synchronised (synced) with your Fitbit app to enable Breathe app access to your data via Fitbit’s servers. Your Fitbit tracker continuously monitors your heart rate, and your resting heart rate is calculated by Fitbit’s servers when they have sufficient data. Depending on what time of day you sync, you may see a delay in resting heart rate data being collected by Breathe. If you think any of your data points are missing from Breathe app, open up Fitbit app and force a sync. Then in the Breathe dashboard, just swipe down in the dashboard to refresh the data from Fitbit’s servers.
Why is my sleep not visible in the Breathe App?
Your Fitbit needs to be regularly synced with your Fitbit app, to enable Breathe app access to this data. If any of your data points are missing from Breathe app, open up the Fitbit app and force a sync. After the sync has completed return to Breathe app and refresh its data by pulling down on the dashboard. You should now see all of your measurements up to date.
