a ks fit alternative for android

Control your WalkingPad and keep every walk, in Fitbit and Google Health

KS Fit is KingSmith's own app for the WalkingPad. If you're looking for another way to run your pad from an Android phone, Zancada is an independent app that does it over Bluetooth: start, stop and change the speed from your phone, and every walk is saved on your device and to Health Connect, so your steps show up in Fitbit and Google Health.

Your watch barely counts a step while your hands are on the keyboard. Zancada takes the walk from the treadmill itself, so the steps you walk at your desk are the steps that end up in your health apps.

  • KingSmith WalkingPad: A1, A1 Pro, C1, C2, P1, R1 Pro, R2, X21 and similar, including the pads sold as "Xiaomi WalkingPad". If your pad pairs with KS Fit over Bluetooth, it should work with Zancada.
  • FitShow: the WalkingPad N1 Pro and other pads that work with the FitShow app.
  • FTMS: the open Bluetooth standard many smart treadmills and under-desk pads from other brands use.

Zancada runs on Android 15 or newer. There's no iPhone version.

cat switching.txt

You don't need to uninstall KS Fit. Most walking pads accept one Bluetooth connection at a time, so close KS Fit (or make sure it isn't connected to the pad) before you connect Zancada. Then open Zancada, connect to your pad and start walking.

Does it work with my WalkingPad?
Most likely. Zancada speaks KingSmith's Bluetooth protocol, used by the A1, A1 Pro, C1, C2, P1, R1 Pro, R2, X21 and similar pads, plus FitShow and FTMS. If your pad pairs with KS Fit over Bluetooth, it should work. Your first three walks are free, so you can try it with yours before paying. If it doesn't connect, write to [email protected].

Do I need KS Fit installed?
No. Zancada connects to the pad on its own. You can keep KS Fit too, just not connected at the same time: close it before connecting Zancada.

Does it sync with Fitbit?
Yes, through Health Connect. Each walk is saved there with steps, distance, time, speed and active calories, and Fitbit and Google Health read it from there. Samsung Health, Garmin, Whoop and Oura aren't supported. Treadmills don't measure calories, so those are estimated from your pace and weight; on pads that don't count steps, steps are estimated too, and labelled as such.

Is it free?
Your first three walks are free. After that, pay once and keep it for good, or subscribe weekly. There are no ads and no servers, so this is how the app pays for itself.
