How Do I Track Steps and Set Daily Step Goals on TickTalk 5?

TickTalk's Activity Tracker helps children stay active by tracking daily steps and allowing families to set personalized step goals.

Both parents and children can monitor progress throughout the day.

How to View Step Activity

To view your child's activity data:

  1. Open the TickTalk App.
  2. Go to Parent Portal.
  3. Select Activity Tracker.

You can view:

  • Current daily steps
  • Daily step goals
  • Distance traveled
  • Daily reports
  • Weekly reports
  • Monthly reports

How to Set a Daily Step Goal

  1. Open the TickTalk App.
  2. Go to Parent Portal > Activity Tracker.
  3. Enter your desired daily step goal.
  4. Save your changes.

Both you and your child can track progress throughout the day.

 

Why Aren't Steps Updating Immediately?

To help preserve battery life, the Activity Tracker does not update in real time.

Step counts typically update every 5–10 minutes.

If your child recently became active, it may take a few minutes for the latest step count to appear.

How Accurate Is the Activity Tracker?

TickTalk uses activity-tracking technology similar to that found in many smartphones and wearable devices.

Because step counts are based on movement, activities such as:

  • Running
  • Jumping
  • Rapid arm movement
  • Shaking the watch

may occasionally affect step totals.

The Activity Tracker is designed to encourage healthy activity rather than provide medical-grade fitness measurements.

What Is Step Championship?

Step Championship allows children to compare their activity with approved TickTalk Watch Friends.

To view Step Championship:

  1. Open Activity Tracker on the watch.
  2. Tap the Star icon in the upper-right corner.

Children can see their ranking among participating TickTalk friends and compete for:

  • Gold Medal
  • Silver Medal
  • Bronze Medal
