### 1/5 — Not user friendly for everyone

*2026-10-18, version 1.0.74*

Only works for Apple users. I have a fit but and friend had an android and I had to sync google to Apple health while I he had to sync through other apps since he has android. In the end he was kicked out of the competition because of the syncing apps flagging it as “cheating” and I also noticed when my Fitbit would sync it was less than what was recorded on my end.

### 1/5 — Bug

*2026-10-18, version 1.0.74*

I’m annoyed right now because we are in the middle of a step challenge and now I can’t see me in the challenge and everyone can’t see me either. I even paid for the month and nothing updated . The date of the challenge now shows I started today instead of October 12th. Please fix this. Everyone is upset and are worried their steps won’t upload. There must be a glitch. This is the competition ERCOIPQBXJ

### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-10-11, version 1.0.73*

What a great app first and foremost it’s affordable you get to compete with others who helps you help them this app helps keep you motivated one day at a time

### 1/5 — Now everything is paid.

*2026-09-18, version 1.0.71*

Used to love this app kept me motivated. Now since last update. Can’t do any challenges. Pops up and lets you only select 7 day free trial then have to pay.

### 1/5 — Paying to invade others privacy is kind of psychotic

*2026-05-02, version 1.0.61*

I rarely get sketched out or have privacy concerns since there’s basically no such thing as privacy these days. However — the  premium function allowing you to view anybody’s profile and see how may steps somebody took on a random day 4 years ago was enough for me and my friends to abandon this app. It’s also very strange and sketchy that when you download the app it automatically populates your first and last name and your location. Basically automatically doxing you. 

You should be able to opt out of people paying to see your information- no matter how insignificant it may seem. This app is blatantly selling it.

### 2/5 — Brad

*2026-04-09, version 1.0.61*

App does not work correctly for all challenges

### 1/5 — Premium required

*2026-02-10, version 1.0.61*

It’s paid only if you want to compete with anyone even for steps per day

### 5/5 — School Step Challenge

*2026-01-16, version 1.0.59*

We have been using this app for a staff step challenge, and it has been awesome. The set up for the challenge was easy and the developers have been very responsive to a few requests.

### 5/5 — On Track

*2026-01-13, version 1.0.59*

I was so frustrated trying to get my steps recorded. Thank you for getting on my profile to see the error of my ways. No way I could have figured that out! You rock!!

### 5/5 — Amazing App + Outstanding Support

*2026-01-08, version 1.0.59*

I’ve been using Strive for my step and activity challenges, and it has been awesome. The app is easy to use, and I love the different challenge types, I have a step, excercise and body fat % challenge going with my friends.
What really stood out, though, was the incredible support. I ran into an issue with one of my challenges, and they responded quickly, and got everything resolved right away.
I don’t do reviews very often (if at all) but wanted to thank the great support!
