## What is Active Giving?

Turn every run, walk, and workout into real-world impact.

Active Giving is a fitness app that lets your movement plant trees,restore kelp forests, and remove plastic from our oceans. Get your daily exercise in while doing something meaningful for the planet.

How it works
Download the app, log your first activity (with built-in GPS tracking, or import your last workout), and see the environmental impact you've unlocked. Share your accomplishments with your friends and inspire them to move for a cause too.

Create an Active Giving account to unlock the full set of features:

• Strava sync: connect your Strava account to Active Giving to automatically sync activities across both platforms.
• Apple Health integration: pull your workouts from Apple Watch, iPhone, and other trackers directly into your Active Giving impact.
• Team challenges: exclusive challenges built for virtual events, company wellness programs, and community-led initiatives.
• Impact leaderboards: see how you and your team stack up, and celebrate wins together.
• Impact history: track every tree planted, every kilogram of plastic removed, every kelp forest supported.

"Active Giving is a movement that gives people the opportunity to achieve something huge, while simply getting their daily exercise hit."
Fashion Week Magazine

Why our Active Givers love the idea

Lauren: "With Active Giving, my workouts evolve from activity that's good for me to activity that's good for the world. I've been given a renewed sense of purpose that fuels my workouts as a driving force for positive change."

Rene: "I'm an Active Giver because running is my passion. It connects people no matter their gender, religion, or origin. We run together."

Ricarda: "Doing yourself a favor by moving your body AND doing good for this planet. Everybody should join. It's so easy to do good. What else are we waiting for?"

Every step counts. Every ride matters. Every activity you log becomes real-world impact.

### 2/5 — Umständlich und ungenau

*2022-07-14, version 1.0.4*

Der Grundgedanke ist gut.
Mein Problem: 
1. Die App loggt die Entfernung nicht. Auf der immer gleichen Radstrecke von  23km loggt die App 3..18km. An der GPS-Verfügbarkeit liegt es nicht.
2. Die App sollte einen Modus haben, in dem sie Lauf- und Radeinheiten selbstständig startet und loggt. Gerade bei Einheiten auf dem Arbeitsweg ist das händische Starten/Stoppen sehr umständlich.

### 3/5 — Super aber Anbindung an Health fehlt

*2022-05-08, version 1.0.4*

Würde die App sehr gerne nutzen, aber ohne Anbindung an Health ist mir das zu aufwändig. Hatte auch schon an den Support geschrieben. Sie sind dran und sollte schon passiert sein, leider immer noch nicht geschehen. Sollte die Anbindung stehen werde ich die App liebend gerne wieder nutzen und mit machen. ;-)

### 3/5 — Ganz gut

*2022-05-04, version 1.0.4*

Ich würde mich freuen wenn man es über Health verbinden könnte und somit der Schrittzähler bzw. Die Kilometer automatisch übertragen werden 👍

### 1/5 — Great idea, great cause - appalling app

*2022-04-28*

Successfully captures about 1 in 5 walks all others just show “error” when finishing and saving.  Have deleted and reinstalled a few times with no change.  Have gone back to having to use Garmin / Strava to record the walks but the charities miss out on the trees (about 15 trees in April alone)

### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht mehr nach Update

*2021-11-29, version 1.0.3*

Verschwindet 1s nach Klick aufs Icon. iPhone 5s 12.5.5
Bitte reparieren. Hatte schon meinen Anteil am Pflanzen von  über 800 Bäumen.

### 1/5 — Aktivitäten nicht abschließbar

*2021-10-29, version 1.0.3*

Seit einigen Wochen kann ich keine Aktivitäten mehr abschließen. Auf finalisieren kann ich noch klicken aber im nächsten Bildschirm auf ‚abschließen‘ passiert einfach nichts. Irgendwann kommt dann ‚Fehler Fehler‘ aber keine Erläuterung dazu. Das ist Schade, denn kann so seit einigen Wochen keine Bäume pflanzen … 
Zuvor hatte das alles gut funktioniert. Bitte behebt diesen Fehler!

### 5/5 — So cool!!

*2021-10-12, version 1.0.2*

Really enjoying the app ✨

### 2/5 — Prinzip gut, hängt sich aber permanent auf

*2021-09-04, version 1.0.2*

Seit einiger Zeit kann man die Workouts nicht mehr Finalsiegen, die App stürzt dauernd ab - nervig!

### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht mehr

*2021-08-26, version 1.0.2*

Seit geraumer Zeit geht die App nicht auf. Und wenn sie aufgeht, dann stürzt sie ab und man kann keine Workout finalisieren. 
Ändert sich das nicht bald, Fliegt die App runter.

### 3/5 — Stürzt zu oft ab

*2021-06-01, version 1.0.2*

Ich mag das Prinzip der App sehr und würde es gern weiterhin unterstützen, was jedoch richtig nervt ist, die App stürzt bei längeren Einheiten (ab ca. 45min) immer ab. Einheit ist dann natürlich weg. Leider sind mehrere verschiedene Einheiten auch nur begrenzt möglich (Tageslimit erreicht). Könnt ihr das verbessern, wäre es eine tolle App. Gern noch ergänzen wie schnell man pro km läuft, rennt, fährt etc.
