Hula Hoop kcal Tracker 4+

I bought this app yesterday because it is compatible with Apple Watch. So far I’m not sure whether it is working properly or not. There are no instructions so I don’t know what is supposed to be the difference between normal and workout mode and when using the app on my Apple Watch the timing works but no calories show up like they do when using the phone app. Both the watch and phone app record it in the Apple health app but on my watch activity it records it as zero kcals. I have tried several times to connect to support only to get an error message and the same when trying to report an issue. I have had an Apple Watch for five years and my current one is only three months old with the latest OS version.

Hi,

The app is working with Apple health. You need to make sure that the app get access to Apple health and set the following data in Apple health.

Weight
Height
Birthday
Male/female

With this data the app will calculate the calories.

In workout mode the app will calculate more calories as in normal mode.
Normal mode: only hula hoop
Workout mode: hula hoop with workout actions

I wouldn’t even give this app a 1 star! Considering I had to pay for it I know it wasn’t much but it clearly doesn’t work! I pressed start on my phone and it started saying I’d burnt calories when I wasn’t even moving same thing happened when I did it from my iwatch! DO NOT BE FOOLED into buying this app it’s a scam! How can you lose calories by not even doing the hula hoop!

Hello,

That is right. The app only calculate the burned energy based on the time, gender, age, height and weight. In the selection you can choose if you want to make normal hula hoop or a workout.
For the iphone or the Apple watch it is not possible to detect hula hoop actions.
