  2. Tap your profile icon (top right of the home screen).
  3. Select Workout Submission.
  4. Select Auto-Upload.

Step 2 of 4 — Connect NestEgg to Apple Health

This grants NestEgg permission to read your workout and heart rate data from Apple Health.

  1. Tap Connect to Apple Health in the NestEgg app.
  2. When the Apple Health permission screen appears, tap Turn On All.
  3. Check that all toggles are green — Heart Rate, Resting Heart Rate, and Workouts.
  4. Tap Allow.

Step 3 of 4 — Connect Polar Flow to Apple Health

Now link the Polar Flow app so your workout data flows through to NestEgg.

  1. Open the Polar Flow app on your iPhone.
  2. Tap More → General settings.
  3. Toggle Apple Health ON.
  4. When the Apple Health permission screen appears, tap Turn On All, then Allow.

This lets Polar Flow share your workout and heart-rate data safely with Apple Health.


Step 4 of 4 — Verify the Connection

Confirm both apps are sharing correctly.

  1. Open Apple Health on your iPhone.
  2. Go to Sharing → Apps.
  3. Select Polar Flow — confirm sharing is turned ON.
  4. Return to Apps.
  5. Select NestEgg — confirm sharing is turned ON.
  6. Back in NestEgg, tap Looks good!

You’re all set. Workouts tracked by your Polar will now flow automatically to NestEgg.


Troubleshooting

Polar workouts aren’t showing in NestEgg.

  1. In the Polar Flow app: More → General settings → Apple Health — ensure the connection is ON.
  2. In Apple Health → Profile → Apps → Polar Flow — make sure Workouts and Heart Rate are ON.
  3. In Apple Health → Profile → Apps → NestEgg — make sure Workouts and Heart Rate are ON.
  4. In NestEgg → Workouts, pull down to refresh.
  5. Wait ~1 minute — sometimes Apple Health needs time to sync.
  6. Still nothing? Restart your iPhone — background sync issues often resolve after a reboot.
