Playfitt is the only app that makes me look forward to exercising. I love that I can do it in 2 minute bursts whenever I am getting distracted or need a break. It has also helped break my social media addiction.

Well, i was fully aware that it was against my interests, immediately after the reward system was ended, I stopped exercising. It was even sadder because the program was eliminated weeks after I paid for a full membership. Weeks! I’m sad to see that this was not a sustainable model, but boy, I would pay double the membership fees if this incentive program can come back. ### 3/5 — Great FREE App to kickstart working out *2023-11-12* I have been using this app for almost 2 months and can honestly say it’s probably the most I’ve exercised in a very long time. I am on a 55 day streak meaning I’ve worked out 55 days in a row. I have never done that in my life. I haven’t lost weight but I’ve gone down a full pant size and my body definitely looks more toned. The app is simple and tells you how many reps of each exercise (the same exercises every day) to do each day, which is why I like it. I’m not huge into cardio and this is all easy strength training. The giant CON of this app is a premium subscription promises you gift cards and other rewards and it’s completely false. I am due 2 gift cards and my son is due 1 gift card and we received a message today that they are no longer offering gift cards. So we are just out those rewards now. I highly recommend the FREE App but DO NOT pay for premium. ### 1/5 — Fraudulent app! *2023-11-10* The premise of this app is that you earn coins for exercising, and then redeem those coins for gift cards or other advertised rewards. I did the exercises, earned the coins (800k), and redeemed them for the promised reward ($45 Aesop GC). Playfitt sent an email confirming my redemption, with a promise of the gift card coming via separate email in 2-3 days. Nope, nothing was ever delivered! I have waited for weeks, and have repeatedly messaged them — they don’t even reply to my messages. In the meantime they’ve been busy working on “app improvements”, including huge increases to the coin requirements for all rewards (bait and switch!), and pushing users to refer friends/contacts to help build the subscriber base while still not fulfilling promises to existing users (pyramid scheme!). Completely disappointing experience! Proof that cute animation and exercise motivation can’t hide fraudulent business practices. ### 1/5 — 1 Star Is Too Many *2023-08-02* I literally just downloaded this today and it is unusable. Every time I open the app one of two things happen. I either get a screen that says “You already finished a daily goal!” That I cannot swipe, scroll away, or close out of. So I have to exit the app, or delete it from my phone and reinstall it altogether (which I’ve done several times). Or it prompts me to either “get started” or sign in. It won’t accept my log in credentials so I have to start over every time I open the app, which is often because it keeps crashing. I’ve literally only managed to keep it open long enough to make my avatar, but that took several hours due to it continuously crashing causing me to have to start over again and again. I’ve never had such a bad experience with an app, and I was very much looking forward to adding an element of gaming to my workout. **Developer response:** Hi Devan, I'm so sorry this was your experience using Playfitt. The behavior of the app described is not normal and we'd love to assess your account for any potential bugs. Can you please reach out to us support@playfitthelp.zendesk.com so we can get things sorted? ### 3/5 — Great concept, cringe delivery *2023-07-05* The idea of the app is excellent and it has definitely led me to exercising more regularly. However, the overall experience is honestly kinda cringe and embarrassing. The main splash when entering the app has some person wearing the most ridiculous outfit that’s not even exercise related. The voice in the app to encourage you while you exercise sounds more like some woman trying to do ASMR than someone that’s encouraging you to work out. The little avatar you create does the lamest excitement jump I have ever seen (the one when you complete your daily squat goal - you gotta see it to know what I mean. Bleh!). List goes on. Again, the app is serving its purpose to get me to work out by gamifiying exercise and the chance of earning gift cards. Props on that. But I’m honestly not planning to renew just because of how cringe the experience is. **Developer response:** Hi Lil' Ebolio, thank you for your feedback. We're glad to hear Playfitt is helping you to become more active and we appreciate you giving us a chance. We're constantly improving, so we hope the next version of Playfitt will be right for you. ### 3/5 — Frustrating *2023-04-08* As others have reported the movement detections are not always accurate however for me the most frustrating part is the inaccuracy of detecting walking up stairs, especially when it’s the end of the day and I’ve walked up and down the stairs more than enough times to meet the daily goal and it’s not been recognized and I’m simply too tired to keep trying, therefore forfeiting those coins. Also, make sure you’ve claimed your reward before canceling your subscription, even if it’s before the next billing period. I made the mistake of doing that thinking had the rest of the evening to claim my final coins to invest in my reward, nope, it’s gone. So aside from the benefit of physical activity it was a waste of time peppered with lots of frustration. ### 5/5 — Love this!!! *2023-04-07* UPDATE: I had a great experience having this glitch taken care of by Playfitt. The missing balance has since been applied to my account, so I’m changing my review from 4 to 5 stars! Love this app. I’ve been using this app for almost 3 weeks and absolutely love it. I’ve been finishing all the tasks and never liked working out this much before. The only part that disappoints me is that occasionally the points won’t apply to my account, especially after hitting a steak. 8000 points was the most recent that somehow wasn’t applied. Would love to have that fixed. 5 stars otherwise! **Developer response:** Hi Alconsidine88, we're happy that you're enjoying Playfitt! As for your streak reward, sorry about that. Could you please reach out to us at support@playfitthelp.zendesk.com so we can get this sorted out? ### 1/5 — Making me pay *2023-02-20, version 3.1.2* When I first open the app there is one button and it says start. i clicked it and it had me choose which activity setting i wanted and then and me move for ten seconds. but then i got to choose a prize, i had three options for prizes and there is no way to exit out. all of the options make me get the premium version. Basically, it won’t let me use the app at all unless I buy premium. I will delete the app if I can’t figure out a way to not pay. The app says free so i don’t see why i should have to pay to simply use the app. I have tried exiting out and reopening it and everything but nothing will work. ### 1/5 — Not free one bit *2023-01-14, version 3.0.10* I keep seeing reviews saying this app can be used for free but I’ve had this app for 60 seconds and now I’m stuck on a page that’s forcing me to choose a premium subscription. There is no exit out of it and when I click the top x to exit the subscription description page, it takes me right back to the page that wants me to choose a premium subscription with no way back or out. If they are counting the “7 day free trial” as the “free” part, absolutely not. These reviews are already discouraging enough about how poorly the app actually functions when paid for. This was a super quick download and delete for a useless app. ### 3/5 — Unhappy with the update *2022-09-16, version 3.0.0* Used to love the app - motivating and felt like you were going somewhere. There were times where the counting (especially for push-ups and squats) was off, but manageable. At least it still gave you those squats and push-ups. Now, it will remove those from your overall count to limit the points you receive. Additionally, now they are pushing the paid membership more and more. It says I have points to redeem, but can only do so with the premium membership. Seems like a money grab to me… I’ll probably wait it out until the next update to see if it gets any better, but am unhappy the way it is going right now. One final thing that I noticed with also using a Fitbit- the steps and stairs were completely different in the count. Just like before, not the biggest issue, but something I noticed! Update - continued to use the platform - newest update I cannot seem to find where the “help” option is but lost everything that was invested already - each update is hard then seems to work out in the long run. We will see what they do to fix this discrepancy! **Developer response:** Hi there! I'm sorry you're not enjoying the app as much! The premium push notification shouldn't be happening that often. If you write to me in the app, then you'll have to make sure that PlayFitt is synced with Apple Health. For this step, first in your iPhone Settings: go to "Privacy" then scroll down and click on "Movement and Fitness" and make sure PlayFitt is on. Then, go into the App: go to the bottom right hand corner and click on your profile. Then click on the top far left corner on your settings and slide the widget. if you have any other questions or concerns, message me through the app and my team and I will be there to help you! :) ## Frequently asked questions about Playfitt The Healthy Habit App ### What does Playfitt do?
