Set Up & Permissions
STEP 1
Make sure your watch and phone are paired
On your phone, go to the Watch App, tap 'All Watches' in the top left and check your watch is there.
STEP 3
Open the Hoolan app on your watch & accept permissions
Making sure you have your phone in close proximity, press ‘SET UP’.
​
You will then be asked to accept the following permissions:
1. Permission for Hoolan to access to your location
This is essential for us to be able to track your sessions. Please select 'Allow whilst using the app' and make sure 'Precise' is on.
2. Permission for Hoolan to access Apple Health and Fitness
Health permissions are optional and you can update them on your phone at any time by going to Settings > Health > Data Access & Devices > Hoolan.
​
You will be asked to accept the following permissions: ​
​
WRITE ACCESS to Workouts
Accept this if you would like:
-
Your sessions to be counted as an Apple workout, which then goes towards your activity rings.
-
To associate your heart rate and active energy burned to your workout.
-
To export your GPS data into Apple Health (see Workout Routes permission below).
-
To use our 'Fast Finish & Save' feature.
-
To set up a 'Fitness Focus' (see our FAQ: How do I set up a fitness focus?) that ensures the Hoolan recording screen displays your live stats without interruptions as you ride.
​
WRITE ACCESS to Workout Routes
Accept this if you would like Hoolan to able to export your GPS data to Apple Health while you are recording so that you can then use third party apps like Health Fit to set up an automatic export of your data to other platforms like Strava, for example. Find out more about exporting your data from Hoolan.​
READ ACCESS to your Active Energy and Heart Rate
Accept these permissions if you'd like Hoolan to display your heart rate and calories burned alongside your session. You will be able to see this data both on your watch screen as you ride, and in your stats after you've finished your session.
​​
Once permissions have been granted, you're straight into the 'Recording' screen, ready to track your first session!
