### 1/5 — What is going on?

*2025-11-04*

Used this app for months with no issues and now all of a sudden every time i open the app, it wont load and insists my network connections are not working, when everything is the same as its always been and everything is connected. i use this to connect to my garmin and it is insanely frustrating.

**Developer response:** Hi there, thanks for reaching out. We're sorry to hear you're experiencing issues. Please contact our support team via https://www.10000steps.org.au/contact/  and we'll be happy to assist you further. In the meantime, a quick fix that often resolves loading or connection errors is to delete the app and reinstall it, as this refreshes the connection. 10,000 Steps Team

### 2/5 — Buggy

*2025-09-02*

App doesn’t pull my stats into tournaments I have to delete and reinstall every time I want my step count to show in tournaments.

### 5/5 — Easy to use!

*2025-08-04*

Love how easy it is to sync my steps from my Garmin and add my minutes of activity. Like using the Groups section and the monthly challenges.

**Developer response:** Hi Cindy_lee86, thank you for your positive review. We are so happy to hear that you find it easy to add your steps and activity through the app. :) 10,000 Steps Team

### 2/5 — Bugs in latest version

*2025-04-01*

Been using this since 2011. Latest version has a severe bug where it is CHANGING my step log. I’ll enter steps for a few days at a time and sync them. Then a couple of days later I’ll come back to add more and find some of the days have completely different numbers. Thinking I can’t trust this app anymore :(

**Developer response:** Thank you for your long-time support since 2011—we appreciate it. We're really sorry to hear about the issue you're experiencing with step logs changing after syncing. Please reach out to us at 10000steps@cqu.edu.au with more details so we can help directly. We are committed to getting this resolved as quickly as possible. 10,000 Steps team.

### 5/5 — Love the new updates!

*2025-02-18*

Thank you 10,000 Steps team for the new updates. The auto syncing brings across my Apple Health steps correctly every time, making keeping my steps up to date easy. The new colours and features make the app fun, simple and easy to navigate! Looks amazing, highly recommend.🙌🏼

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We're are glad to hear that the new updates (especially auto-syncing with Apple Health) are making it easier for you to stay on top of your steps. We're also glad you're enjoying the refreshed design and features! Your recommendation means a lot to us.

### 1/5 — Can’t sign up

*2024-01-10*

It doesn’t respond when I submit my info to sign up. No error messages, so I have no idea why it won’t proceed.

**Developer response:** Hi Apie-ness, we would recommend contacting our team directly by email to 10000steps@cqu.edu.au if you have any issues signing up or logging in so we can assist you and resolve the issue as soon as possible. Thank you, 10,000 Steps Team.

### 4/5 — Great app

*2023-10-10*

I really like this app, however it would be key if the app could implement automatically refresh of activity rather than users having to pull down the screen. The reason I would like this feature this is that I noticed my team members scores are not updated frequently despite them training daily, thus making competitions feel less competitive.

**Developer response:** Hi there, thank you for your feedback. We will certainly take this into consideration for future developments.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2023-10-05*

App freezes up on signup screen and goes no further!

**Developer response:** Hi there, we are sorry to hear that you have experienced this issue. We would recommend closing the app completely and re-trying. If you are still experiencing this issue please email our team on 10000steps@cqu.edu.au so we can provide further assistance and investigate the issue. Thank you, 10,000 Steps Team.
