Hi, I am having trouble accessing the fitness tracking page on Sauce on a new pc. I have relinked to Patreon but keep getting the "Become a Patron" screen. Please advise

You can jump through some insane hoops on the Developer edition of firefox and get Sauce to run (quite well actually) but it's not something I could ever recommend as it's such a hassle.

2022-06-06 21:13:07 +0000 UTCFor iOS unfortunately not. You can install Sauce as a Safari extension for iOS and get all the main Sauce features and mobile layout support, but the Sauce Performance feature is specifically disabled due to a Safari DB bug. Even stranger, Apple only allows the Safari engine for browser apps on iOS. Even when you install Firefox, Edge, etc, it's really just a skin on top of Safari as strange as that sounds. So iOS, is a hard no but on Android you can install a browser that supports extensions and it does work. I highly recommend Kiwi browser for this. It's basically Chrome with extension support and the maintainer is pretty active.

2022-06-06 21:08:48 +0000 UTCHi Chris, you probably just need to relink it to patreon. Use this link on the device you want to use (you can use as many as you want) https://saucellc.io/patreon-oauth

2022-06-06 21:04:24 +0000 UTCDoes Performance work on a mobile device, If so which browsers are supported please?

2022-06-06 21:01:38 +0000 UTCHi Just tried to log in to Sauce Performance but i keep getting the "Become a Patron" screen?

2022-06-06 21:00:48 +0000 UTCHi Christopher. No device limit. You just need to link the laptop to Patreon. Look in the Sauce Options (click the bottle icon in the extensions menu or in the Strava profile menu). Feel free to email me at support@saucellc.io or use the discord server for more help too!

2022-02-27 19:16:19 +0000 UTCWhen I try to use the Sauce fitness tracking on a 2nd laptop I don't see the option to sync. It asks me to become a Patron which I am already. Is it one licence per device?

2022-02-27 19:09:04 +0000 UTCThe data is actually not kept on a server. It goes to your browser using the same mechanism as when you look at their activity. So unless the GDPR makes semantic claims about browser caches, I don't think it's an issue.

2022-02-23 20:14:29 +0000 UTCHi, is an athletes permission required before someone can download their data, That Would be against GDPR regulations otherwise?
