History and Today Count

Customers often mix these up:

  • “Did StepSprite count my steps?”
  • “Why does Apple Health show a different total?”

Those are related, but they are not the same problem.

Check these first:

  • have you opened the app near the device today?
  • did history sync have time to finish?
  • did you go more than about a month without syncing?

If StepSprite never got the missing history, the chart and Today count cannot reconstruct it later.

Step history chart and Today card

Add a screenshot that shows the Today card and the step history chart together.

This is the best page to show a chart screenshot with real data.

If the chart looks different from Apple Health

Section titled “If the chart looks different from Apple Health”

That can happen for normal reasons:

  • you are looking at StepSprite data in one place and Health totals in another
  • StepSprite is allowed to write steps, but another source is higher priority in Apple Health
  • distance or calories are still app-only because those categories are off

Gaps usually mean one of these:

  • no walking happened in that period
  • the app had not synced that period yet
  • the history was older than the stored on-device month window before you synced

Open the app near StepSprite whenever you want a catch-up sync.

You do not need to babysit it daily, but syncing every so often keeps the Today card, chart history, and Apple Health aligned.
