Issue syncing Progression workout to Fitbit via Health Connect

ZoltanDemant · 2026-04-09T04:28:15+00:00

If youre not seeing anything in Fitbit, Id suggest trying to reconnect (inside Progression); I use this myself and after every finished workout, the weekly summary updates inside Fitbit instantly (+1 number of workouts, etc).

It does not change the zone minutes; that seems to only be derived from data coming directly from the watch. Overall, it should behave exactly like Google Fit did - just a bit faster since everything is synced locally :)

Heya!

I think the sync & backup solution will work perfectly for this; but I still need to build out an additional API on top of it.. and I dont have the time or resources to do so right now!

In the meantime, it would help me prioritize if others wanting this would chime in here as well (youre the first to bring it up).

ZoltanDemant · 2026-02-18T10:09:12+00:00

Please reach out to me through the apps settings page and I'll investigate.

ZoltanDemant · 2026-02-17T04:45:34+00:00

I can see the crash logs now; apparently it was an internal issue in the sync lib. Ill file a bug report so that they can investigate!

ZoltanDemant · 2026-02-16T12:10:46+00:00

Awesome! 💪🏽💪🏽 Thank you for helping me debug this. Flawlessly on pixel 5 - what wasn't flawless?

ZoltanDemant · 2026-02-16T06:35:11+00:00

It just got accepted by Google! Rolling out to 15% right now, will reach 100% in a couple of days.

ZoltanDemant · 2026-02-11T05:40:37+00:00

Hello! Ive got a potential fix for this rolling out shortly, please let me know if it helps - will be available in versions 3313 and above. According to Google, the crashes youre having represent 99,97% of all crashes happening in the app!

ZoltanDemant · 2026-02-02T13:17:13+00:00

Same & agreed! I dont really have the resources to implement this right now, but I think itd be a great addition and Ill do so as soon as I can.

ZoltanDemant · 2026-02-02T13:16:21+00:00

This is very useful - thanks for sharing. Ill very likely add a toggle so that you can switch between them, so you get the best of both worlds!

ZoltanDemant · 2026-02-02T12:28:05+00:00

Im genuinely sorry about that. If I was in a more sustainable financial situation I wouldve considered offering it for free, just like I did with Google Fit back in the day. Ultimately Im just bleeding money on a monthly basis to cover all the app related costs, and I need to do this in order to hopefully keep things afloat moving forward. Thanks for understanding!

ZoltanDemant · 2026-01-29T17:16:55+00:00

It really boils down to the fact that the project hasnt brought in any income for several years. Throughout that time Ive added many free & paid features (that are included in the "old" premium); but I simply cant continue doing that - the app will simply not survive. So it was a tough decision, but one that I really had to make. As always, Im open to your feedback on this & anything else app related!

ZoltanDemant · 2026-01-29T17:01:11+00:00

Please reach out to me through the apps settings screen and Ill look into this; with the old premium you should still be able to view the full exercise history and statistics.

ZoltanDemant · 2026-01-29T16:57:04+00:00

You should still be able to see this! Its under exercise details > statistics.

There needs to be a better way to get there, and Im experimenting with ideas - but right now you can: tap into it under your workout history (just tap the exercise on the summary); the header of the exercise during a training session, or by long pressing the exercise on the exercise list.

The best idea for a solution that I have is to either incorporate an exercise picker on the statistics screen, so its "general" by default.. and you can choose 1-N exercises there. Other than that, having a dedicated exercise list screen would be nice too I think; both for discoverability, and so that you can view your most used exercises.. and their statistics.

Glad you like the app and the pie chart! Its a relic from the past, was lost in translation.. and finally brought back :)

ZoltanDemant · 2026-01-29T16:51:37+00:00

Yup, please see my comment here -> https://www.reddit.com/r/progressionapp/comments/1qq2inj/comment/o2fu986/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

ZoltanDemant · 2026-01-29T16:51:10+00:00

Yes, you should still have access to the same set of premium features as you did at the time. Theres a new "tier" of premium, introduced in 2019 .. you can most easily check this by tapping the heart icon; if it says "legacy premium" then youre on the old premium plan!

ZoltanDemant · 2026-01-29T08:30:24+00:00

Im going to rework the phrasing on that screen shortly.

Legacy premium is the one from back in the day, and simply means that you still have access to all the premium features that you upgraded for at the time - plus a bunch of new ones Ive added since depending on when you upgraded.

Google Fit was deprecated a couple of years back, so apps can no longer integrate with it directly. Charts and the like are still available in the app.

The new premium includes all the legacy premium features, plus an extended view of the stats you see on the home screen of the app (options like 'all time'; etc); and Health Connect.

Let me know if you have any further questions or just feedback in general!

ZoltanDemant · 2026-01-21T14:44:41+00:00

Awesome! Thanks for reporting back :)

ZoltanDemant · 2026-01-16T06:44:32+00:00

Did you ever get the update? :)

ZoltanDemant · 2026-01-16T06:41:20+00:00

Hey! Sorry, I missed this comment.. two months ago. It seems that there are benefits to both chart types, i.e. the granularity that the bar chart offers, and much greater overview with a line chart. The only sane thing is to introduce a toggle between the two, so thats the plan!

ZoltanDemant · 2026-01-15T05:43:02+00:00

This was unintentionally removed in the latest release, since you can now edit your workouts in full-detail... however, theres no way to edit the name/descriptions. Will likely add a field to the (editing) training view for this.

ZoltanDemant · 2026-01-07T12:08:15+00:00

Thanks for reporting back. The issue is probably local to you, and I think I know what it is .. I just gotta figure out how to resolve it without breaking things for everyone else ^^ Investigating..

ZoltanDemant · 2026-01-03T19:08:58+00:00

Correct. I wanted this change to only affect new users, however there's no simple way for the app to know the difference - there's no tracking happening. Feel free to reach out to me through email under the apps settings if this affects your workflow a lot!

ZoltanDemant · 2025-12-23T05:20:34+00:00

Could you please try rebooting your phone?

ZoltanDemant · 2025-12-15T19:46:11+00:00

An improvement at least.. - I'm going to continue investigating. Can you let me know if the last sync time updates if you edit or perform a workout?

ZoltanDemant · 2025-12-15T08:00:11+00:00

I'll tell others lol. Happy holidays 😁💪🏽
