Good while it lasted

I started a challenge with my coworkers I noticed my data on activity app wasn’t the same as the data on challenges app. I closed all rings for 2 days & it didn’t translate onto challenges app. It only said I did half of what my activity app said I did. 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.

Overall, Good…BUT…

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.

Poor localization

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.

Great but so slow!

Great app, perfect for corporate challenges but the sync’ing is so slow the app is now barely usable.

Hate the changes

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.

Nothing is recorded

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.

No longer updates on watch

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. :(

I like it but …

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

Barely working dumpy app

Terrible app that requires relogin, refresh, and updating constantly, what a mess

Getting worse

Current version is very very slow, feels like delete the app. UI freeze on launching a challenge and keep showing spinner.

My Workout cals won’t sync

My Workout cals won’t sync no matter what I did. Get help button didn’t work either

Buggy

Lately has been kicking us out of our challenges….please fix asap.

Sucks!

The app never updates. Yes, everything is connected. I’ve followed all the suggestions for removing, restarting and reinstalling, resyncing and yet it still won’t update. Can’t get proper credit for my challenge even though I’m closing all my rings.

Cant install on watch

Really need yall to fix this. I dont get notifications like I use to, cant install on my apple watch, doesn’t sync all activity. Please fix it asap. I like the app and what you can do but it needs a good update. Has potential

Meant for body composition

Hit the gym and get them gains

Does not Sync

Very frustrating to use this app with Apple Watch, the data doesn’t sync, so there are always data missing even though I close my rings every day. i have tried all the troubleshooting guidance and still does not work. No customer service to reach out too and no updates to fix this obvious bug. Here’s to hoping this review is seen and acted
Upon to fix the issue, otherwise I will never use this app again

Long overdue for updates and maintenance

I use this app, and I like the challenge and community aspect. But it is glitching a lot lately, and there has been no noticeable update in years, still no workable chat feature. The community aspect is the fun part, and there is almost no way to communicate. No way to add friends. Syncing doesn’t always work, you can’t see the history of your teams points anymore, etc. Would also be nice to have a way to kick people from your team. A lot of people are inactive or not syncing. The whole interface is pretty rudimentary and has lots of room for improvement. Also the way move goals are determined needs to be changed. A heavier person shouldn’t have to do more than double the work when in reality they are struggling more with lesser activity.

Works mostly

Until recently the app worked great. Now it flakes out all the time. Sometimes it updates by the next day. But I had 1 instance where it did not show my full exercise time even though I closed my ring. It shows not compete even days later. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled a few times now on iPhone 16 pro. Please fix your bugs. TY

Apple Watch issues

I love this app but cannot get it to install on my Apple Watch.

Sync Delayed

Syncing between the challenges app and the fitness app is always severely delayed making it hard to check your real time progress. Doesn’t even “sync” when you run the reload in the Challenges app. Would love for this to be improved.
