Charge 5 syncing advice to android phone and iPad

[skittlequeen]

I have the Fitbit app on android phone and iPad.  Is there a correct order to follow when syncing the devices?  The Fitbit app is linked to my android phone via bluetooth.  iPad is not linked via bluetooth.

I changed my daily step count earlier on android phone, however despite attempting to sync the iPad several times it did not change.  Presumably I should only change one of the devices and not separately on both devices?

No disrespect meant, but what you are doing, or think you are doing, confuses/confounds me.  I don't think you are actually syncing to both devices, especially since the iPad is not bluetooth-linked.  What I suspect is happening is that you are actually syncing via your Android phone, which communicates with the main Fitbit database.  Then, because your iPad is logged into the same Fitbit account, the data gets downloaded from the great database in the sky to your iPad.  I don't know how often it get downloaded to your iPad, maybe just each time you turn it on, or log into the Fitbit account, but I'm not sure trying to sync from iPad would actually do anything.

And I wonder how you are changing your daily step count.  The only way I know is to increase the count by manually logging an activity.

I welcome any contrary views. I'm not really sure of the above.  It's not something usually run into, especially with Android and iOS tossed in.
