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? ### 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. ### 4/5 — Member requests *2024-07-25* 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.

Could this be considered for next year. ### 2/5 — Crash quite a bit but mostly works *2024-07-21, version 1.0.20* Adding activities works pretty well but looking at the leaderboard crashes it regularly. The Apple Watch integration also doesn’t seem to work. ### 1/5 — Discriminating badges *2024-06-04, version 1.0.17* I don’t do yoga and I don’t like yoga. I can’t believe they made yoga into a badge to earn. I’m not interested in yogi or Hinduism. Why should I have to do yoga to get points? They should have just put “personal meditation” or something of the latter. Terrible. This app also crashes all the time. It’s so difficult to log in. ### 1/5 — Awful *2024-05-21, version 1.0.17* The app does not work properly with Apple Watch does not allow you to enter data it’s a mess. ### 1/5 — App was probably pumped out in a couple days at most *2024-05-07, version 1.0.17* It is riddled with bugs. Nothing works. It feels like some project handled by a team that proposed the idea for a quick promotion/raise. ### 2/5 — Not well thought through… *2024-04-14* This app and the usability are obviously after thoughts for the Cigna challenge…there are tons of issues: -You can’t see your progress or how much you have done for any of your goals. When I addressed this with support they said you could email them and they could tell you your progress… an app, but make it 1983… why would I email you for details in the app? -after you log your progress, you usually have to close the app and come back to see it updated -the apple health sync doesn’t work -I put the wrong date for the workout I did on Thurs (since I have to manually put the data in after the fact) and you can’t edit the date of activity, although you can edit everything else about it. Had to delete and re-input. -it is always “refreshing” - I end up closing it multiple times when I’m trying to use it -I have participated in this challenge multiple times and there are consistent, ongoing issues with no updates, changes or edits to the app ### 1/5 — Terrible app *2024-03-16, version 1.0.17* This is without a doubt one of the worst apps I’ve ever had the misfortune of using. It’s more buggy than a vegetable garden and loads like a broken down front loader. I spent the whole day just try to get the thing to just login. But it just spins and spins. ### 1/5 — Completely faulty app, no help available *2024-02-10* The idea behind this wellness challenge is great, but unfortunately, so many features don’t work. I’ve restarted my phone, uninstalled and reinstalled the app, but I continue to get error messages for inviting friends and family, connecting or disconnecting, wearable devices, and trying to contact help for more help, when I go to the website, the only option for help is to look at the topics they’ve already created, but there’s no way to move beyond that. ### 1/5 — Poor Support poor app *2024-02-09, version 1.0.17* Horrible app halfway through the fitness challenge. The app just stopped updating. I constantly try to reload reached out to customer support. They took three and four days to get back to me. This is a horrible challenge and a horrible app. ### 2/5 — Log In Issue *2023-11-21, version 1.0.16* Haven’t been able to login for a couple of days now. Unsure of how to fix, app is up to date and phone is connected to internet. ### 1/5 — Terrible, worse than first attempt *2023-11-20* This app exists only to check a box for Cigna’s Health challenge…yeah, sure, we have an app! Evernorth bombed on this, should I even call it “attempt” to make a UI that was usable. You can’t see what your team or challenge mates are doing very easily. And getting a badge is a hassle - there is no tracking what is being done and no way to tell how much more you need to do what activities to get a badge. There i s just a random bar under each badge that the Evernorth team called a progress bar but you can’t tell what the progress is. Its mildly infuriating. ### 1/5 — App Doesn’t Work *2023-10-11, version 1.0.13* This app is absolutely awful. It logged in one time and has yet to be able to log back in since. It wouldn’t be an issue given the web portal exists as well, but the only way to link to an Apple Watch is to use this app which, again, doesn’t work at all. ### 1/5 — Terrible. Barely works. *2023-10-10* App only works about 10% of the time and spends the other 90% of the time loading endlessly. ### 1/5 — Bad *2023-09-26, version 1.0.13* Clicked Support button and says I’m not authorized to view. When I go to sign up on site it Keeps asking for authentication code and never send to me so I don’t know if I’m in the right “version” of the challenge. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 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. ### 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 ### 1/5 — Slow, crashes, been like this for years *2024-08-27* This is a terribly slow app, you think it has crashed but it actually is just slow. And sometimes it does crash and becomes unresponsive. What’s embarrassing is that it’s been this bad year over year and they are not able to make it a smooth experience. They should outsource their tech development. ### 1/5 — Sign in failed *2024-08-06, version 1.0.22* App was working great for a few weeks. Two days ago it logged me out and I haven’t been able to login. I updated the app and reset my password and nothing I keep getting errors ### 1/5 — Can’t Sign in without Text Auth Code *2024-07-14, version 1.0.20* I’m not receiving the text Auth code, so I can’t sign-in. Pretty sure I typed in the correct phone number, however if I didn’t there is no way to correct it. ### 1/5 — App will not let me log activity *2024-06-06* There seems to be a delay between when I enter my fitness activity and when it actually will stick to/show up in my account. I have to close the app completely and come back in to see if my activity posted. And now I’m having trouble entering activity. I keep getting an error message. Overall the app is a good idea, but it doesn’t function well. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — oh yeah *2025-05-30* this is the best app ever i love it ### 5/5 — brilliant *2024-06-24, version 1.0.18* app is fire ### 5/5 — love it *2023-11-08* very helpful with tracking my goals ### 5/5 — Great app *2023-08-31* Works well, easy to link devices and the sync in almost real time. Only complaint is if you log workouts on 2 apps at the same time, they both get logged and you need to delete one off. ### 5/5 — Great improvement *2023-07-11* Love the new design and how much more seamless the experience is! ### 5/5 — New and Improved *2023-07-10* Love the improvements to the app!! Much faster and easier to use ### 5/5 — Great New App *2023-07-10* I use the app as part of my employer challenge, it’s a fun way to engage your team mates to do better with our health. I connected my apple watch and barely even have to do anything for the points to come through. I’m more active because of this! ### 5/5 — Love the new design! *2023-07-06* I’ve been using this app for years, and the new update cleaned up the experience and made it easier to navigate. Great Job! ### 5/5 — New App is great! *2023-07-03* I love the new app and look forward to the enhanced features. I’m specifically excited for the integration with Peleton. ### 5/5 — Nice new features *2023-06-08* App is beautiful and consistent with web portal!
