Little Chance for Reward

Reward format to gain five dollar gift card was changed about a year ago and amount to win a bid increases daily. Was about 27000 gems a year ago and now almost 80000 to receive $5.
Seems that winning bids are increasing faster than a person's ability to earn gems on the app so becoming a waste of time watching the required ads to gain gem points that are becoming less worthwhile every day.
One winning bids hit 80,000I am quitting.....not fun anymore.
Avoid this app which was once a good motivator to walk those extra steps but now a frustrating waste of time !

Hey! Thanks for the feedback. Rewards have been replaced with auctions in order to make this a more fair claiming experience for everyone and sustainable for the app. Previously, users had to rush the app every day at 12pm ET to claim a reward when they were restocked. This caused many app issues and was unfair to members as not everyone could access the app at 12pm ET. That being said, the new auction system provides a fairer opportunity, considering even if you aren't one of the many highest bidders, you can still win a reward through our raffle system, as 85% of rewards are distributed through the auction and 15% are distributed through the raffle. This ensures that you can still win a reward even if you don't have a lot of Gems, and you don’t lose your Gems if you don’t win the auction. Optimity is a free app and our rewards are funded by our advertisements. At the end of the day, our app's mission is to promote healthy behaviours through steps and health education.

Updated Review:
After using this for SEVERAL months, and walking MANY miles.. I’ve still yet to ever get anything. That’s because the way their “auctions” are set up for only 1 winner per day (which the developers will reply and say “that’s the fair way, blah blah) BUT ITS NOT! Because, every day the bid amount gets higher and higher, because the people that have been using the app the longest will of course always have the highest bids and with so many users, it’s going to take YEARS just to be able to be at the top! Yes, you can do extra things for gems, but it’s usually watching endless ads and taking quizzes. So, it’s just not worth taking up the extra data and storage space to wait YEARS to get a measly $5 card! So I just deleted it and use other apps (like Evidation and Cash Walk) that are more realistic and attainable!
Of course, they do have other “offers” for a tiny percentage off of REALLY expensive fitness items that you can get with gems, but $10 off a $100 smart water bottle..no thanks ✋🏻🙃
I guess this app would be okay if you want some extra health/fitness tips, but honestly, just do some research..but definitely don’t use this for “rewards” because you’re gonna wait A WHILE!

Auction on gift card

This app is getting less and less motivation to me because of the action in the gift card. The gems is increased daily by 20 to 100 range for the 5 dollar gift card. Now, it is over 56K and you might not get it. I am started wondering if it is a truly action and just a set up by the company and make it difficult to auction it. Just increasing daily . I would not recommend to my friends or anyone. And I delete this app even I know they don’t care or less of what I did. Just very frustrated with this app.

I used to love this app!

This app has changed a lot since I first started using it which was a couple years back. What has really changed is the redemption for prizes. They have moved on to a gambling form to win prizes (highest bidder takes the prize) this makes it hard to win any prizes. I will admit though that this app motivated me and taught me new things about a variety of topics! With that being said I have made the decision to delete my account and the app as it’s just not as motivating as it once was. I had won great prizes like $25 gift cards for hotels and such in the past but now I can’t even get enough gems to win a $5 gift cards.

No Value

It used to be an okay app but now it is useless if you are joining for the monetary rewards.
In the past I could collect a $5.00 gift card for 22,000 points. Now these same cards are going on auction for over 42,000 points. I haven’t received any rewards for over a year.

Optimity App

The bidding for rewards is ridiculous. Upon reading what the developer(s) have responded to someone else’s review. It’s not worth it at all!

It is getting worse

It use to be able to redeem GC with a fixed amount of points, now you need to bet for a chance to get a GC. Not worth of your time

Non adaptable

Impossible d'adapter l'objectif quotidien en fonction de nos limitations physiques.

L'application me suggère fermement de marcher 6000 pas par jour alors que marcher 1000 pas par jours est pour moi un exploit. Il est impossible de revoir l'objectif quotidien à la baisse. L'application m'est donc inutile.

Gone downhill lately

This app has gone downhill lately. Point values have significantly decreased and almost worthless now. Impossible to close ads as often they just get stuck. If I didn’t have points still I would delete this app and move on.

Watching Ads not rewarded ?

It has been observed that even after watching some ads completely, the “x” on the upper right side disappears and ads freeze. You can’t get rid of it till restarting the phone.?? And finally you see that gems have not been awarded.
