Troubleshooting

Polar workouts aren’t showing in NestEgg.

1. In Polar Flow → Menu → General settings → Health Connect — ensure data permissions are ON.
2. In Health Connect → App permissions → Polar Flow — confirm Workouts and Heart Rate are ON.
3. In Health Connect → App permissions → NestEgg Health — confirm Workouts and Heart Rate are ON.
4. In NestEgg Health, open Workouts and pull down to refresh.
5. Wait about a minute — Health Connect sometimes takes a moment to sync.
6. Still stuck? Restart your phone — this clears background sync issues.

Note: Make sure the Polar Flow app and your Android system are both updated to the latest versions before setting up the Health Connect integration.
