Version 2.0.3 fixes update for existing users

Been using this app for a while to keep track of these challenges. Overall, a good app. Very motivating. Docked one star because:
1) monthly challenges do not automatically add to history after dismissing the monthly summary and
2) the watch app (work-in-progress) has never updated a challenge from one month to the next

Since V2 just came out, these two items might be fixed, but I won’t know until July.

Update: Version 2.3.0 will fix the bug where Monthly Challenges aren’t automatically saved to the history. Concerning issue 2: do you receive an error after changing the challenge or it doesn’t seem to do anything? Please get in touch through the email option on the Settings page. - - - - - - - - - Update: Version 2.0.3 is out and does fix the issue, confirmed by multiple users already. Please update to v2.0.3 to get full access back. - - - - - - - - - Dear Contextualist, As mentioned in another response below this wasn’t an intentional move but a mistake in the vode. This bug unfortunately causes the conversion for some people who previously bought the app to fail. Version 2.0.1 is out since a few hours which should solve the issue. If it doesn’t solve the issue for you please reach out to me by e-mail from the Settings page in the app. I’m very sorry for the inconvenience! This wasn’t supposed to happen.

Awesome!!

Great app for managing your Apple move goals! Better than the built in functionality — HIGHLY recommended!

Thank you very much for the great review! :)

DON’T UPDATE!!! 2.0.2 DOES NOT FIX THIS APP!!!

The app took away functionality that users already had. The dev acknowledges this has now issued two “fixes”, but might not work for you (they aren’t for me). If you update, you will lose most widget options, challenges, notifications, extended history, and maybe some other things.

Free features now paid

Nope. Bad business. Was included but now locked behind a subscription.

Update: still not working for getting it fixed.

Please contact me via the email link in the Settings app. Everyone who previously bought the app should receive all features when updating. If that doesn’t work there is a bug or inconsistency in the app. You can also try to tap Restore Purchase and force close the app or uninstall/ reinstall it. Sorry for the inconvenience. I’m working on a fix.

DON’T UPDATE!!!

This app has taken away functionality that users already had. At some point, that was against App Store policy. I’m pretty sure it still is. Perhaps the dev does not know that. Either way, until they fix this for current the users before the business model change, do not update or you will lose most widget options, challenges, notifications, extended history, and maybe some other things.

Also, if a fix doesn’t come soon, report the app to Apple using the Report a Problem link in the App Store listing.

Regression

As someone who had this app before the model changed I’m pretty sure that some of the functionality I had paid for before is now locked behind a paywall that I’m being asked to pay for again. The app was fine before but losing something I had paid for previously is not a good way to get me to subscribe.

Not Bad

It does what it says. It’s easier than going through the fitness app. My two main issues are that the history section doesn’t work and sometimes the days of the month are off. An example is today Thursday is showing as Wednesday. The date is correct but not the day of the week is not.

Thanks for your review, it was indeed intended to be easier as going through the Fitness app. About the History and date issues, could you please send me an email with a little bit more details so that I can look at improving/fixing the issues you have? support@challengesaid.nl Thanks in advance!

Simple but mostly does the job

This app is great if you just want a simple way to track the current month’s challenge without having to wade through the Apple Fitness app.

After a year of use, the history feature has never worked for me, though. I’m not sure if it’s supposed to prompt me or do it automatically, but neither has ever happened.

Thanks for the review and rating. I’ll happily try to help with the History feature. Could you please send me an e-mail from the option on the Settings page in the app?

Strange …

The app is fine. Does what it says on the box but there’s no method to provide feedback or contact the developer? I mean, my challenge last month couldn’t be added because there was no method to add it — How do I provide feedback?

Get better Tim (the developer, not the cook)

Hi jrgibson1, Sorry to hear you couldn’t add your challenge for last month! And I’ll turn your feedback into contact options soon, as you’re absolutely right about that. In the mean time, could you please send me an email at challengesaid@icloud.com with the issue you have? Kind regards, Tim
