Since it’s been a while since I’ve done a Conqueror and I’m fairly low tech and new to this app, after an initial error I made, I’ve been finding it easy to manually add my distances and rotate between my three challenges. I guess it would be convenient and I’d figure it out if I was able to link my old iPhone GPS distance tracker or “map my ride’ app that I have to this one, but it doesn’t seem lit has those options.
Since I’m not a heavy duty athlete, but just a old lady trying to get some exercise, ha ha, I’m finding that it works fine for me to keep track of my distances for my challenges. I appreciate the effort you guys put into it and enjoy sometimes looking at the street view guide, especially when I’m virtually traversing locations that I have actually visited in person.
I love the maps and how you can change whether or not you see everyone else or just yourself. The medals are absolutely beautiful and the group is stellar! I love the challenges and the motivation. The only thing I’ve found so far with the app is it syncs once a day unless you log your distance manually after popping into Apple Health unless you log manually, which I started doing so I could see where I was on the map after my walk. I kind of wish it would post directly after you log exercise but once I figured it out, it’s really not a big deal. I’m nearly done with my 2nd challenge and use the app daily to check my status. It looks good and you can check out the other challenges from within the app too. On challenges with street view available you can move the little man anywhere to see your surroundings. It’s pretty stinkin’ cool!
Last year I was training for a 5K. Things were going great but then covid hit , my race was cancelled and I lost some people very close to me. It was some sad and depressing times for me. My training took a back seat and I was finding it hard to get back into it. Then I saw the ads for The Conqueror Challenges. At first it was “Oh these are cute medals. Let me check this out” Then I was intrigued by the work at your own pace and level that they encourage. Then I was absolutely hooked when I got into the amazingly supportive community that they have. If you don’t like the community don’t worry that’s optional. It’s not just running either. It biking and rowing and yoga, etc. If you’re struggling for motivation or setting and keeping a goal this might just be for you. I highly recommend it.
I am so happy I clicked on Conqueror in an Instagram advertisement. I was just starting to get active and the Conqueror keeps me motivated. I love the street view. It’s neat to see places that I’ve never been and feel like I’m there. The postcards are awesome because they give interesting information. I have finished five adventures and just started my sixth. I completed Pacific Coast Trail with a team, and I thought that feature was great because I wouldn’t likely try a long one otherwise. It would be nice to be able to communicate with your team within the app. It wouldn’t surprise me if that would happen one day because the developers are always adding new adventures and improving the app. As a last comment I want to say the medals come really fast in the mail. They’re beautiful and well made. It’s really cool to have a record of my adventures hanging on my wall.
Great on iPhone. On iPad - not so much! If you use your iPad in rotated mode - landscape vs portrait, as with the attached keyboard - the App view stays rotated 90° CCW. Guys, you really need to fix that! Other than that, it seems to work just fine.
Update: Jan 2022. A couple other things I would add is that when I first tried linking my tracking from iPhone to this App, I found it wasn’t allowing me (or perhaps I just missed something) to specify that my miles being logged were from my Peloton (stationary/Indoor) bike. (Miles were being recorded as OUTDOOR Bicycle!) When I went back to try to fix this situation, I must have messed up something else. Because I have never been able to get it to work right since. Thus, I MANUALLY add my ride miles every time. And I have not yet figured out how to break that device linkage to completely set it again (as if for the very first time). Each time I went into the App to try to fix this, the Apple Health linkage just popped back into place with no apparent/obvious ability to edit the settings.
I have to say after years of trying to get active again this app was a surprising motivator. I enter my distances manually more often than not because my wrist breaks out with my Apple Watch (sensitive skin) and I really like that I have different exercise options. I also like that you can adjust/extend your timeframe (sometimes life happens) and one mile is better than none. I’m on my second challenge (already finished the English Channel & working on Marathon to Athens) I purchased the bundle of 5 today and I’m so excited. I have a plaque for my medals and look forward to earning them all. The other pleasant surprise is the Facebook community. Nothing but positivity and encouragement there which is so rare these days. I highly recommend this app and the lifestyle changes that come with it
My husband and I are probably older users of this App and I just have to say how much we have enjoyed all of the features and ease of The Conqueror App. We are doing our 6th challenge and have really loved all the parts of the challenges. This App has got us walking and virtually traveling to so many amazing places. Some we have even been to in real life (Mt. Fuji, St,. Francis Way and The road to Hana) before the past 2 years have curtailed our actual travel. We have enjoyed reliving our trips virtually and finding new places to learn and dream about. The map feature, the postcards with so much information about the sites, the trees that are planted after sections of the challenges, and the amazing medals that are awarded at the end of each challenge keep us interested and engaged. We look forward to more Conqueror challenges! Thank you for such a great App and product.
I came across the Conqueror Challenge by accident. I was on Facebook and saw an advertisement. I was a little skeptical at first but since having my son, I’ve been a little lazy to say the least and my physical activity took a huge hit. What could I lose by starting a fitness challenge? The challenges are amazing and have me more active than I’ve ever been in my life. I’m always trying to reach the next milestone. The app is super easy to use. It connects with my Apple Watch so my mileage is automatically added to the challenge totals. Also, the street views are amazing. Being able to see the pyramids in Giza or the scenery in Hawaii is an added bonus to the program! I highly recommend to anyone. Be warned: these challenges are extremely addictive. I started my first challenge in late August 2021. As of October 27, 2021, I’ve completed 5 challenges and I’m now working on challenge #6. I’ve also lost 10 lbs and counting.
I am not athletic at all. In fact I am a senior, a retired librarian who would rather read than just about anything else. But I enjoy the Conqueror’s Challenges so much, I just signed up for my 6th! And I got my sister to join, too! The variety of challenges keeps things interesting. The frequent addition of new challenge routes keeps me from getting bored. The medals are truly gorgeous and the Facebook group is the most positive and encouraging group I have ever been a part of. The customer support has been nothing but stellar. I have contacted the support folks a couple of times (both times minor issues that were actually due to my own lack of attention) and received a response in short order.
I have read from other members reports of the support folks’ prompt and efficient responses.
All positive experiences with Conqueror’s Challenge and the people behind it.
I was bemoaning how sedentary my life had become when I saw an ad for The Conqueror and discovered they had a virtual challenge for the St. Francis Way. As a pastor surviving the pandemic and an ugly election cycle, my soul needed an uplift—so I decided to take the challenge and walk the pilgrimage in my own neighborhood. I looked forward to exploring the interactive map at the end of the day to see where I would be in Italy and that became my daily motivation to keep moving. More walking meant I was drinking more water, and because I was feeling healthier, I was making healthier eating choices. I wound up losing 20 pounds, for the first time in several years my doctor congratulated me on getting my cholesterol, sugar, and blood pressure under control rather than giving me the warning lecture. I only intended to walk the one challenge, but found it so motivating that I have continued. I have now completed 5 challenges and am on my 6th. This app has become as important to my fitness journey as my gym membership and has really become my primary motivation.
