Hi! I was hoping to hear from you (your username matches someone who left a review on one of the stores) Can you help me understand what happens when you link your Samsung Health account? When we first shipped [StepSmash 1.13: Personal Challenges and more badges!](https://community.stepsmash.com/t/stepsmash-1-13-personal-challenges-and-more-badges/221) there was a bug specific to Samsung Health where we failed to sync if the new workout permissions had not been granted to StepSmash. A hotfix was pushed to Android devices relatively soon after when we received our first bug report. StepSmash should now show a warning on your home screen if certain permissions are missing, and linking a Samsung Health account should show a prompt with the following permissions: ![Screenshot_20261015-152245](https://community.stepsmash.com/uploads/default/original/1X/ee0a58bb42d4f0ab89fe60c880bbd6f1a2b88f81.png) We’re not aware of any issues syncing a Google Health account. What device were you trying to sync?
