Kata on Android
The same Kata as on iPhone and the web, with a few things Android does its own way.
- Open Google Play on a phone with Android 8.0 or newer and search for Kata.
- Install it, open it and sign in with Apple, Google or email.
- Allow notifications if you want reminders outside the app.
- Connect Health Connect if you want steps, workouts and nights to arrive on their own.
- Health Connect takes the place of Apple Health. See Health Connect.
- Backups go to your Google account, and a sealed copy opens on a new phone. See Backups on Android and the web.
- Notifications can be held back by battery saving. See Notifications and reminders.
- Speech becomes text on your phone. Kata receives the text, never a recording.
The Apple Watch app, the Home Screen widgets and Apple Health exist on iPhone only. Android has no Kata widgets yet.
The Android app sells Kata Plus and Kata Unlimited through Google Play. A plan bought there is managed and cancelled in Google Play. A plan you already have comes with your account. See Plans.
