Common Questions and Answers

Q: What permissions do I need to grant for the Apple Watch app to work correctly?

A: To ensure a consistent connection between the watch and your phone we request access to your Health data. This allows us to save your ChipIn Shot Tracker sessions as workouts, but is also highly recommended to maintain a stable connection. While granting access to Health data is not compulsory, it may impact the signals being sent between both devices.

Q: What is haptic feedback, and how is it used in the ChipIn Apple Watch app?

A: Haptic feedback provides a tactile response to alert you of certain actions. In the ChipIn Shot Tracker app, you will receive haptic feedback when:

• A ball is detected, and the app is ready for a shot.
• Shot results are ready.
• There is an error or notification that requires attention on your iPhone.
