## What is GoodStep?

Challenge your friends and coworkers to motivational leagues to keep you moving. We measure more than just steps - so all your workouts count toward your points. If you need a bit of extra motivation, challenge your friends to a charity league and know you are playing for a greater good. It's a GoodStep, get it?

How it Works:
- Download the GoodStep App
- Select your tracking source and link your fitness tracker if you have one (Apple Health, Fitbit, or Garmin)
- Create a new league for you and your friends. Or join an existing league. We have several leagues to choose from:
    - Bragging rights: Challenge your friends to see who is best
    - Charity League (beat the pro): Raise money for your specific charity
    - Charity League: Everyone plays for their own charity. Winner chooses where all the money goes

Points:
We integrate with Apple Health, Fitbit, and Garmin to track your activity throughout the day. Your fitness data is combined into a single score called "points". Since we track several different activities, you still have a chance of beating your marathon runner friend if walking or yoga is more your thing. League winners are decided based on total number of points at the end.
  
Points are calculated based on your daily activity:
- Calories burned
- Miles Walked
- Minutes exercised
- Flights Climbed
- Steps
- Wild Card: Something different every day

Why Charity games? We believe that dedicating real money motivates people. And, when you dedicate that money to a cause greater than yourself, we think its even more motivating. With our charity games, you aren't just going for a walk for your health, you might be raising money to help children, feed the homeless, or save the environment. What's more motivating than that?

Why the point system? We want everyone to play. We do not only want all-star athletes to win every league. We have tried to level the playing field, so that even those who are newer to fitness can compete - and maybe even win. We measure lower impact events like steps, so that more people can participate.

GoodStep uses HealthKit to read your activity data including steps, distance, flights climbed, exercise time, and calories burned. Similar data can also be synced from Fitbit or Garmin devices. 

Downloading app is free! Bragging rights leagues are free, and charity leagues start at $10.

### 1/5 — Sketchy

*2023-09-24*

I’m sorry, I wanted to like this. 
But the moment I saw that the website link was untraceable and there was no sight of any teams in existence, it appeared to be dangerous so I just had to delete my account and the app. If this was just an error, please let me know. I’d be happy to give it another try.

### 5/5 — Fun and got me moving

*2022-05-10, version 0.1.0*

Enjoyed teaming up with my friends and raising money for charity. We competed against each other and it got us all moving more than we had been. We each chose our own charity so that sparked some competition. I personally felt extra motivated because I was not only exercising for my own health, but I was trying to win for my charity!
