### 4/5 — Member requests

*2025-07-02*

Day to day the app works well enough. as a team lead, it would be very helpful to have more obvious notification that someone wants to join our group. Currently those requests are hidden away on a separate page with no actual notification from the app that someone wants to join. Could this be considered for next year. Maybe a push notification?

### 1/5 — Can’t even get logged in

*2025-06-24, version 1.1.1*

I submit my information and it sends me a text message code which I enter and it says the code is wrong. Multiple deletes and redownloads. App is trash.

### 2/5 — Could be better

*2025-06-16*

Sometimes it misses activities in daily life or weekly challenges- or buddy challenges making it hard to get the awards.  Not that it matters though. Because I do it.  The app just doesn’t pick it up for my Apple health app. Or sometimes it does but it still doesn’t count it towards the streak 🤷🏼‍♀️

### 2/5 — Buggy

*2025-06-11*

Logging activities is very buggy and difficult to see what activities you have entered on which days.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-06-05*

Doesn’t work and I can’t login as a spouse for the latest wellness challenge

### 1/5 — Poor conectivity

*2025-06-03*

Couldn't find company team when searching. Could only see the invite when on the website, wasn't visible on the app. App is not loading data from connected Apple Watch or from Peloton this summer. 

Initially continued to show metrics from last summer on the app after starting the new challenge for 2025.

### 5/5 — oh yeah

*2025-05-30*

this is the best app ever i love it

### 1/5 — Horrible App

*2025-01-30*

For being a healthcare insurance provider and wanting to encourage better health through Wellness Challenges. They spent the absolutely least amount of time on creating a good app. This app has constant login issues. Has trouble connecting to the Health data on the iPhone. Loses connected apps constantly. And can only pull data from a single app. So if I use Strava for my bike ride and Apple Watch for everything else. I have to first disconnect Apple Health if it connects and then add Strava. Then reconnect Apple Health after the ride. This app needs a ground up full redesign.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work with watches at all

*2024-09-26, version 1.0.22*

Doesn't record workouts correctly with a Garmin watch, or any watch apparently.

### 1/5 — Not Great

*2024-09-26, version 1.0.22*

Clunky App and not super user
