I am just curious if anyone knows if it is possible to count steps accrued while I didn't have my phone, like on a run for example. Right now I wear a watch that sends step data to Garmin connect and it would be awesome if those steps could be pulled into the app somehow. My phone's internal step counter is a little less reliable and mostly I just leave it at home often.

I think I saw watch compatibility is planned for a later update but wondering if I could just get it to pull from Garmin connect instead of phone internal sensors, basically using that as a liason between watch and this app (I don't know if this makes any sense, I am not tech savvy)

Really enjoying the app otherwise!

Currently not possible, sadly. Like said, wearable support is coming (hopefully soon-ish), but for the time being you'll need to carry the phone with you to get steps counted in the game.
