## Most critical reviews (8 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Couldn't even join

*2018-04-23*

I got this thinking it would be a lot like joulebug. I couldn't even sign in because you need to be in an organization. What?

### 1/5 — Add photos broken!

*2017-04-22*

The new version crashes every time I try to add a photo on my iPhone 7 plus running iOS 10.2

### 2/5 — Frustrating to Use

*2026-07-02*

While the list of actions is fairly comprehensive, there are no details about how penalties are calculated. I habitually recycle throughout the day, but this app will not let me reflect that. There seem to be time delays that prevent you from logging the same action twice in a short period of time, but nowhere in the app does it say how much time must elapse between action logs or how many times you can log specific actions in one day. I logged recycling 3 times today, and it wouldn’t let me  log any more after that. However, there was no warning about how long to wait before logging again. It just said to take a break and log a different action. So I waited an hour and tried again. No dice. I waited another few hours. Still couldn’t log anything. Over 7 hours later, I still couldn’t make a log for recycling, and I got put in the “penalty box” for trying.

I suggest adding a “log details” button for each activity that lets users know how many more times they can log an action that day and how long to wait between each log. I would not recommend this app to anyone before this issue is fixed since it is so frustrating to be penalized for trying to figure out the rules.

### 2/5 — It’s alr

*2025-10-24*

Haven’t used yet because no acess code

### 4/5 — Great just a few bugs

*2024-01-19*

The app is great, and I love the challenges. However some of the links do not work. When I click on them my app closes. if you can fix that the app would be perfect.

### 4/5 — Suggested improvements

*2022-07-17*

I think you need to add some more options. For example, add credits for growing your own food, making your own compost, and using your own compost. I also received a “warning” for logging my points too fast. I don’t have time to log points several times a day. I can however log all my actions at once.

### 5/5 — Covid distraction

*2020-04-24*

Our company did a challenge during the pandemic. It was an awesome reminder of how to stay healthy and also fun competition! Especially since we can’t see each other!

### 5/5 — Fun app to use

*2020-03-27*

We used this app for a company challenge and it was fun. Had some unexpected surprises- I was more motivated to eat healthy, take breaks, and workout more often. I recommend!
