What if I’m not in the Eastern Time Zone? How does this impact my data?

Please keep in mind all data will be calculated based upon EST.


How to I make sure my steps/data is synched between my Health Data Source and the Live4It App?

If you are using a wearable device (i.e. Health Data Source) to track your data, you must also sync that device to its Health Data Source app. Live4It pulls data from your Health Data Source’s database (not directly from your wearable device).

It is important to sync regularly between your Health Data Source and Live4It; especially the last day and first day of each month.

For example, if you have a Fitbit, it must be connected to your Fitbit app and synched regularly; Fitbit must also be chosen as your Health Data Source within Live4It, and you log into Live4It regularly.


Why are my steps in the Live4It App not reflecting the same number of steps in my personal tracking device app?

1. Confirm that your device is compatible with the Live4It App. If your device is already connected to the App and you are using a wearable device (i.e. Health Data Source) to track your data, you must also sync that device to its Health Data Source App. Live4It does not pull your activity data directly from your wearable device, instead, Live4It pulls data from your Health Data Source’s database. This means, for example, if you have a Fitbit, it must be connected to your Fitbit app and synced regularly. Fitbit must also be chosen as your Health Data Source within Live4It, and you log into Live4It regularly.

2.Give the Live4It App several minutes to sync with your device’s app each time you launch Live4It.

3. Steps reflected may not be identical to your device because Live4It receives multiple back-end feeds that may give you credit for estimated steps (in some cases, in addition to the steps reflected on your device).

Notifications will be posted internally in the bell icon at the top of your screen.
