After troubleshooting & making sure challenges had all permissions & even updated software, no changes were made to my score. Bringing my rank down a lot lower than it should be. Huge bummer. Please fix this. ### 4/5 — Overall, Good…BUT… *2026-06-03, version 26.04.13* Overall, this app rocks. It’s a lot of fun to gamify fitness, and compete against your friends. However, the app only updates the scores if each person goes in to the app and manually refreshes the points history. If they don’t, then their score is stuck and will not update. ### 2/5 — Poor localization *2026-05-29* Running the app in German language is a challenge itself. The localization has probably been done with an automatic translator from the 90s… so poor, most often wrong and some parts are even not localized at all. It would be better to not localize it at all. ### 1/5 — Great but so slow! *2026-05-21, version 26.04.13* Great app, perfect for corporate challenges but the sync’ing is so slow the app is now barely usable. ### 1/5 — Hate the changes *2026-05-03, version 26.04.13* We loved this app and used it monthly for a year. Hate the changes, now it only gives points for move, not for stand or exercise. ### 1/5 — Nothing is recorded *2026-05-03* I don’t understand what the problem is. None of my data appears on the app so therefore I gain no points. I can’t even participate in a challenge I created. ### 2/5 — No longer updates on watch *2026-05-01, version 26.04.13* Used to work pretty well but needs better Watch complication, but still it atleast updated your move goal. Now you have to open the app to have it update. :( ### 2/5 — I like it but … *2026-02-25, version 25.01.05* My move goal on my watch won’t update on the app. Kind of defeats the purpose in competing if my move goal in the app is stuck at 340 ### 1/5 — Barely working dumpy app *2026-01-27, version 25.01.05* Terrible app that requires relogin, refresh, and updating constantly, what a mess ### 1/5 — Getting worse *2026-01-22, version 25.01.05* Current version is very very slow, feels like delete the app. UI freeze on launching a challenge and keep showing spinner. ## Frequently asked questions about Challenges ### What does the Challenges app do?
