I ended up referring my friends who also joined and subscribed. However, recently another friend tried to subscribe as she had a Fitbit, the subscription went up three times and its now $30 annually. Tried reaching support for help, but no response. ### 5/5 — Fun and motivating *2025-08-20, version 1.0.56* Great app! Every month my family and I do a new challenge- step challenge, exercise minutes etc. It makes exercising fun and motivating for us all. ### 5/5 — Great! *2025-07-02, version 1.0.53* Such a good way to find workouts and connect with others ### 2/5 — Glitch *2025-03-10, version 1.0.48* I do weekly step challenges on this app and by the 2nd to last day the app starts to glitch. This happens every week without fail not showing correct data. It’s unfortunate because this app has the potential to be great if they fixed the bugs. ### 5/5 — Really enjoying this app. *2025-01-27, version 1.0.47* The competition element of this app has been really good for motivating me to work harder. ### 4/5 — Almost there *2025-01-22, version 1.0.47* Could you please add relative goals for challenges like apple fitness? That way you can compete with people who typically do more or less. For instance, I don’t want to do a steps challenge with someone if I know I’m going to beat them everyday. However, if my goal is 12k steps and there’s is 8k, and points are awarded for how close you get to that goal or beyond it, then you can compete with anyone. Please add this feature! ### 5/5 — Strive *2024-12-27, version 1.0.46* Strive is my favorite ### 5/5 — Great app *2024-11-05, version 1.0.42* Great for competitions with friends. Customer service is prompt and effective. Recommend. ### 3/5 — Great job but crashes *2024-10-07, version 1.0.41* App works well and better than other apps as it fetches data from health app automatically so no manual work. In latest version chat screen is unusable and crashes when trying to read chat. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 ### 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. ### 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 ### 1/5 — Why is it not in google store *2025-03-16, version 1.0.48* It gets one star because it’s not in google store ### 1/5 — Support nonexistent *2025-02-26, version 1.0.48* Tried to host a group contest for work. App only works if they have an iPhone. Tried manual entry of workouts and it doesn’t count it towards their goal. Waste of 50 dollars. Support email doesn’t respond. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-01-25, version 1.0.47* I,along with my adult family, paid to use this app so we can compete against each other. It has been 3 weeks and after a lot of going back and forth with customer service, we just can’t get this to work. Our smart scales register our measurements and they sync with our heath app, but it does not sync with strive. All our data from our watches sync over, like steps, exercise, but we can’t get our weight to sync. We have to manually input the data. All permissions are toggled yes, Bluetooth is enabled. Out of 4 of us, we can’t get our weight to sync. My son is a computer engineer and he can’t figure it out. I do not recommend. ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2024-11-21, version 1.0.44* Downloaded and was going to try it out, however after giving permission to my gallery I have decided to delete. The app wasted my time, i got a message to pay for premium before adding the profile picture, why the Illusion? If the app would have let me try it out before rudely wasting my time I might have enjoyed it enough to cancel my strava membership. On to the next app…I honestly wanted to try it out but felt insulted with the tactic. Now I get my junk mail from these guy’s relentlessly. Cannot unsubscribe. ### 1/5 — $ to connect to Fitbit , do deleting. *2024-10-09, version 1.0.41* Not paying for premium to get my numbers off of Fitbit ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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 ### 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! ### 5/5 — This is great app to help challenge family *2026-01-05, version 1.0.59* We have just started using the app and it’s great so far It’s helping us as a family to loose weight ### 5/5 — Great Customer Service *2025-11-15, version 1.0.59* We love the app and being able to compete against friends and family for motivation to workout. When there was an issue with the competitions we created after emailing customer service they responded and corrected the issue within 48 hours. Incredible considering most applications you never even get a response back. Highly recommended this app. ### 5/5 — Amazing app for friendly competitions *2025-10-11, version 1.0.59* Love the app and that it “strives” to keep a friendly and fair competition amongst friends/ colleagues who like to stay active. Appreciate the customer service too. It will be nice if more fitness trackers get compatible with this app. Looking forward to future updates. ### 5/5 — Fun competition! *2025-10-01, version 1.0.59* I had a lot of fun and was motivated to walk further than I would have otherwise! ### 5/5 — Measuring goals *2025-08-24, version 1.0.58* I really enjoy this app. It allows you set goals and see your progress in real time. You can join different challenges and engage with like minded individuals. ### 5/5 — The loss of Fitbit group challenges brought me here *2025-08-24, version 1.0.58* This has been the closest app I’ve found that is similar to the Fitbit group competitions. Apple only offers person to person competitions, no group ones, and Fitbit no longer does group challenges. Here we’re able to compete in our groups like we would way back when Fitbit still did group challenges and it’s the best way to stay motivated. 10/10 recommend if you’re looking for something similar. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
