Hi! I see you’re having trouble with missing golf tracking in the FitCloudPro app. Could you tell me a bit more about what you’re seeing? For example, is the golf tracking option completely missing from the app, or does it not track your golf activity properly once started? Also, what model of FitCloudPro watch do you have? This will help me guide you more precisely.

Luxium stinger, android app. The other watch I have is the luxium shield and on an apple phone and that one has the golf app.I don’t see the golf in the sports push on the android.

Thanks for the details! It sounds like your Luxium Stinger paired with the FitCloudPro app on Android doesn’t show the golf tracking mode, while your Luxium Shield on iOS does. Let's work through this step by step.

1. Confirm App Version and Permissions: Make sure the FitCloudPro app on your Android phone is updated to the latest version from the Play Store. Sometimes sport mode features depend on app updates or permissions. Also, check in your phone’s Settings > Apps > FitCloudPro that it has all permissions enabled, especially for storage and location.

2. Check for Sport Mode Customization: Some watches allow enabling or disabling specific sport modes in the app. Open FitCloudPro, go to the device (watch) settings or sport mode settings, and see if golf tracking is present but disabled or hidden. If you find it, enable it.

3. Sync and Reboot: Try clearing the app cache via Settings > Apps > FitCloudPro > Storage > Clear Cache. After that, restart your phone and watch, then pair and sync again.

4. Firmware Differences: The Luxium Stinger and Luxium Shield might have different firmware or capabilities for sports modes on Android vs iOS apps. Sometimes manufacturers add features in firmware updates. Check if your Stinger has a firmware update option in the app or via watch settings.

5. Sport List on Android: The FitCloudPro app on Android may have a limited set of sports compared to iOS. In that case, if golf isn’t officially supported on Android for your model, it would explain its absence.

If after these steps the golf sport still doesn’t appear, it likely means this feature isn’t currently supported on the Luxium Stinger when used with the FitCloudPro Android app. As an alternative, you might consider using the Dafit app if supported—some users report better sport mode functionality with certain watches and apps.

If you want, I can also check specifically for any firmware updates or official limitations between models and app platforms. Would you like me to do that? Or have you tried any of the above steps already?

Check for FitCloudPro Android app updates

Got it! To check for updates of the FitCloudPro app on your Android phone so you have the latest features and fixes, including any possible improvements to sport modes like golf, here’s what you should do:

1. Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
2. Tap your profile icon in the top right corner.
3. Select Manage apps & device.
4. Under the Updates available section, tap See details.
5. Look for FitCloudPro in the list. If it’s there, tap Update. If not, it means your app is up to date.

Also, if you’re experiencing any syncing issues or missing features after updating, try clearing the app cache:
- Go to your phone’s Settings > Apps > FitCloudPro > Storage > tap Clear Cache.

After that, restart your phone and open the app again to see if the golf tracking option appears in sport modes.

If the app is fully updated and golf tracking still doesn’t show on your Luxium Stinger in Android, it’s possible this feature isn’t yet supported on this watch-app combo.

Please check limitations between the two models.

Thanks for asking! I've checked the available information about the two models—Luxium Stinger and Luxium Shield—and their differences in relation to FitCloudPro app functionality, especially sport modes like golf tracking.

Here’s what I found related to the limitations and differences:

1. Feature Sets Vary by Model: Different Luxium watches, including Stinger and Shield, may have varying capabilities depending on hardware and firmware. The Shield, paired with iOS, seems to have more sport modes like golf enabled, likely due to its firmware and app integration.

2. App Platform Differences: The FitCloudPro app on iOS generally supports a broader range of sport modes compared to the Android app. This means on Android devices, some sports like golf may be missing or limited, especially for the Stinger model.

3. Firmware Updates: The Luxium Shield might have more frequent firmware updates supporting more sport features. The Stinger seems to have fewer updates or limited firmware that restricts the sports modes available on Android.

4. Sport Mode Customization: Some models allow sport mode customization directly on the watch or via the app; others don't. The Shield may support adding golf to the list, while the Stinger on Android doesn’t expose this option yet.

5. Exercise Library Limitations on FitCloudPro: In general, the FitCloudPro app has a somewhat limited exercise library, which impacts all models but especially those on Android where newer sports options like golf have slower rollout4.

In summary, the Luxium Shield paired with an Apple device has better support for golf tracking due to both watch firmware and iOS app features. The Luxium Stinger on Android is more limited currently, and golf tracking is not officially supported or available in the sport list.

If golf tracking is important to you on Android with your Stinger watch, alternatives like the Da Fit app might support more sports modes, but I’d recommend confirming device compatibility first10.

Would you like help checking if a firmware update is available for your Luxium Stinger that might unlock more sports modes? Or assistance exploring alternative apps with broader sport support?

Really only bought the watch for golf. Can you check for alternatives for an app.

I understand that golf tracking is your main reason for using the watch. Since the FitCloudPro app on Android with your Luxium Stinger doesn't fully support golf tracking, looking into alternative apps makes sense.

Here are some well-regarded golf apps compatible with Android that you might consider trying with your watch or phone:

1. 18Birdies
This is a highly rated golf GPS and scoring app available on Android and Wear OS. It offers GPS yardage, score tracking, and personalized training features. Many users appreciate its accuracy and user-friendly interface. You can find it on the Google Play Store here: 18Birdies on Google Play.

2. Hole19
Another popular golf GPS app that provides features like course maps, shot tracking, and scorekeeping. It supports integration with some smartwatches and offers a free tier. It’s known for being robust without draining much battery. More info: Hole19 Website.

3. The Grint
This app has a strong reputation for GPS, statistics tracking, and a social golf community. It’s free with premium upgrades and supports various smartwatch integrations. It’s praised for its easy scoring and handicap tracking.

4. Golfshot
Offers detailed GPS, scorecards, and stats. It's packed with features and compatible with several wearable devices.

Since your watch is a Luxium Stinger on Android, some apps may not have direct watch integration, but you can still use the phone app for golf tracking and scoring easily. If you want smartwatch GPS support, apps that support Wear OS or Android-compatible watches would be best.

If you’d like, I can help you with how to set up one of these apps or check compatibility with your specific watch model for better golf tracking.

Would you like me to guide you through installing and using 18Birdies or another app? Or help confirm if your Luxium Stinger can communicate with these apps on Android?

Can you check which app is compatible with the stinger?

Thanks for your patience! Based on what I found, the Luxium Stinger smartwatch is designed to work primarily with the FitCloudPro app on both Android and iOS devices. Officially, the partner app recommended by the manufacturer is indeed FitCloudPro, which is available on Google Play Store for Android and the App Store for iOS. The watch's full capabilities are accessed through this app4.

However, user feedback and discussions on forums like Reddit suggest that FitCloudPro is somewhat basic for the Luxium Stinger, especially on Android. Some users mention the app lacks advanced features like call handling and may have limited sport mode support, such as missing golf tracking—which is consistent with what you're experiencing3.

There do not appear to be other officially supported third-party apps tailored for the Luxium Stinger. So, if you want golf-specific tracking beyond what FitCloudPro offers on your device, alternative golf apps I mentioned previously (like 18Birdies or Hole19) can be used on your phone to track golf rounds, though they won't integrate directly with the watch.

In summary:

- FitCloudPro remains the main compatible app for the Luxium Stinger for syncing and general fitness features.
- No widely recognized alternative smartwatch apps specifically support Luxium Stinger integration at this time.
- Golf tracking via FitCloudPro on Android Stinger is limited or missing, so phone-based golf apps are your best bet for golf-specific features.

Would you like me to assist with setting up one of those golf apps on your phone to complement your watch use? Or help with maximizing your FitCloudPro setup for other fitness features on the Stinger?
