I enjoy using the app and am currently in a competition. Weeks later, I got more friends interested but, unfortunately, I can only be in one group competition at a time. I wish this could change.
I truly do... I’ve inspired my whole office to do a weight loss challenge.. they all signed up and started using the app and immediately people made mistakes. A guy from Europe accidentally weighed in kg.. one gal did a two instead of a 1.. all things you can expect as people are figuring it out. The problem is that I have no way as an admin to fix these mistakes. So either we start over and I hope I can get everyone back on board or we use a different platform. I’ve reached out to support many many times in as many ways as I can think of and unfortunately haven’t heard anything back. I’d be willing to pay a lot for this service if I could just get a response or some control over the system to edit mistakes people make. Please respond to my emails and help me because I really want to love this platform and use it.

Hi Jason - thank you for your outreach! If you contact us at support@competish.com, we can help adjust mistaken weigh-ins. Having group administrator make these edits is definitely part of our roadmap.
AmirLove this idea and couldn’t find anything else like it in my search. Don’t care about the money part, but I’m sure some do. I really only wish this synced with HealthKit. The wife and I have a scale that auto sends our weights up, and would love if it synced with this app directly. Sending a photo is archaic at best.
Good work on the app, syncing with Apple Health I’d be willing to pay a couple bucks for.
Any one that says this is a good app is a fake. It has potential but is lacking in many ways! All it dose is track your day to day weight. It dose not give account for body height size or goals. It restarts you every week so there is no fanfare for overall looses. This is not a good competition between someone that needs to lose a few pounds against someone that needs to lose a lot. It harder for someone to loose weight when working out or dieting that is only 10 pounds over weight then it is someone 50 pounds. This app dose not count for that. I would recommend adding more body info and goal info for better competition results!

Hi there! I'm sorry to hear that, but I can guarantee those reviews are not fraudulent.
I'm not sure we misrepresented what the app does - it's very clearly laid out in the description. People weigh in daily, and are awarded weekly and overall prizes based on the percent of weight lost. Doing based on % lost (instead of absolute) means that we put someone who weighs 100 pounds and 200 pounds on the same level, so we absolutely account for that.
If you're interested in coaching or other capabilities, I'd highly recommend checking out a different app!I think the person that created the group should be able to edit all members. I also wonder where are the photos we take of our weight? Why can’t we see our weight that we input everyday? We like the app and we use it! My group is enjoying the weight loss and is having fun!

Thank you!! If you choose to hide weights, those photos are not displayed. However, if a weight is called into question, you can contact me to help resolve any issues (amir@competish.com).
Glad you're having fun! We envision this as the biggest loser with friends, in an app - it's nice to hear you agree!We are a week in! But wish it would let us take photos while in group chat, it only lets you select from album which is a hassle. Don’t quite understand the %loss vs lbs lost either. Wish there was more explanations!
That’s right, no need for tracking on your own sheets or collecting data from people! Let them do it and see everyone’s progress.
My only complaint is that I wish it supported Androids! Lots of people couldn’t use it because of that. Bummer....
Surprisingly this app is really one of a kind on the app store. It’s made organizing a weight loss competition so much easier than the old school spreadsheet method. And it’s 100x more engaging! Also the dev was super cool and willing to answer our questions.
This app is great with a friendly competition amongst friends, but it also helps keep you on track with your individual goals!
Weight loss is not easy for many and a great way to get people charged is competition, a sense of community and incentives. This app does it all by getting your friends in on it. There are tons of meaningless challenges.... this one can extend your life and happiness!!!!
