These steps worked for me Vivofit

Here are the simple steps that fixed it after screwing around with it for hours:

In iphone 6 Garmin App

click on devices

add a device

all devices

scroll down to bottom and select VIVOSMART

click next - this will then search for the device

click yes on "pair with VIVOSMART"

Message came up saying "there was another app counting steps" (IHEALTH), it then asks to keep using current device or select VIVOSMART. By selecting the VIVOSMART instead of the current device (IOS IHEALTH) it then superceded the I HEALTH and in turn let the IPHONE properly sync with the VIVOSMART

I hope this works!!!!

The instructions did not work for me. I kept receiving the red banner 'Network Connection Error'. I ended up registering the device using the Garmin Express app on my Macbook which then synced the device into the iphone app. The support from garmin is pretty lousy and the path of registering the device through mobile only does not seem well tested.
