### 2/5 — Should NOT require background refresh

*2022-06-24*

Please allow us to use the app without background app refresh. I don’t have the battery life to allow it. Pokemon Go syncs my steps just fine without it.

3/5 because manual entry is intuitive.

### 3/5 — Someone needs to help Givhero improve app

*2021-07-27*

I do appreciate the idea behind the Givhero app but the execution leaves nothing to be desired. As the team captain, I cannot see individual performances of my team from previous dates. Trying to pair it with a tracker has caused many issues. One coworker manually logged his steps daily and nothing showed up. Everyone is extremely frustrated. 3 different ways to get to somewhere you don’t want to go and no way to get to where you do. I’m only giving a three star bc the customer service is prompt at responding otherwise it would be a 1. Having someone help improve the app could do wonders for Givhero. Best of luck.

### 1/5 — Don’t get it -

*2020-03-26*

Couldn’t figure out how to use it.  Also not sure where the money comes from or find a Charity I like

### 5/5 — Get healthy AND give back

*2020-01-06*

This is a great way to combine health goals with giving to your favorite charities.  They have a ton to choose from, go bother your favorite charity and tell them to get added.  I love that this can be sponsored by your work.  I appreciate a company matched $10 to go to my favorite charity instead of a new company mug.

### 5/5 — Give a little, get a lot!

*2019-11-27*

This platform has made it so much easier to invite friends and family members to support two of my favorite hobbies: fitness and fundraising! Thanks Givhero!

### 5/5 — Nicely done

*2019-11-25*

What an awesome way to combine getting healthy and giving to others! Motivating and easy. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Win-Win

*2019-11-24*

This app not only helps kick me in the butt but motivates me to make a contribution. I hate to admit it but I need as much motivation as I can get to stay on my exercise program! Knowing that if I reach my goal I’m going to help a cause I care about definitely helps me cross the finish line... A total WIN-WIN 💪🏼❣️

### 5/5 — Givehero review

### 5/5 — I still LOVE this app

*2019-11-23*

App makes it easy to make donations to causes I care about, and motivates me to hit and stay on my wellness goals. Life changing impact. Win/Win.
