User reviews

Not great ux

The idea is fun, but it’s has way to much to it and it’s extremely overwhelming as a new user. It needs a simpler ux and less things to manage, I feel like I need to spend more time managing and learning the game than i would running and the objective should be the opposite. There are just way too many menu options way to many choices, and the integrations are confusing

Steals art from Warcraft!

Flagging that this game steals art from established IP World of Warcraft.

Motivation

Keeps me motivated when I’m in the bike indoors and it keeps me returning to do more cardio. I love it. Thank you. You guys are adding years and health to my life.

Inspiring and so much fun - more need to know!

This game has inspired me to destroy my cardio work outs. It’s such a good idea and so much fun. I highly suggest playing it, even if you’re just logging steps. I just wish more people knew about it.

Hyper rate sucks.

I want to love this game however I cannot connect anything to the hyper rate application. Fix this issue and I will give 5 stars and spend some money. Thanks for your attention to this matter.
