### 5/5 — My review

*2026-06-25, version 1.23.10*

It is really easy to like go through.  There is nothing really difficult about it. It’s pretty straight forward. They’re are very supportive and give you lots of tips and alternatives. Try it out, it’s heaps of fun!

### 5/5 — Works fine. I was an idiot

*2026-06-17, version 1.23.9*

Ooops. I’m so sorry. You’re apps great

### 5/5 — So great!

*2026-06-16, version 1.23.9*

This is for a really great cause, and it really helps motivate you unlike many other athletically involved challenges.

### 3/5 — Can’t bank over app-set limits

*2026-06-03, version 1.23.7*

Others commented on this so sad it wasn’t implemented. Otherwise works well

### 3/5 — Very good app

*2026-05-16, version 1.23.3*

I really like this app it’s very helpful but the one thing I don’t like about this app is how you can’t leave a team it would be very helpful if you would be able to leave a team even make it so if you stay in that team for more then 10+ days you can’t leave but if you join it before 10 day you can’t leave

### 3/5 — Suggestions

*2026-02-10, version 1.21.2*

Would be much better if the team leaderboard updated in real time. It takes so long for my logging to show up there. Also I wish there were notifications (optional) when your teammate logs pushups

### 3/5 — Clunky

*2026-02-09, version 1.21.2*

The dial to bank push-ups is really janky. Why can’t we have some quick buttons 10, 20, 30, 40, 50? Would be much better.

### 2/5 — Who designed this?

*2026-02-05, version 1.21.2*

Great initiative and I’m super excited to be participating. Sorry but the method for entering/tracking push-ups is absolutely terrible. The circle slider add absolutely no value to the experience and it works very poorly.

### 5/5 — Best app

*2025-08-08, version 1.19.2*

This is one of my favourite apps for tracking my pushies and keeping me motivated. Love the mental health messaging too. Well done!

### 3/5 — Needs Widgets

*2025-06-08, version 1.19.2*

While the challenge and charitable cause is all good and well, the app could use some work.

This needs widgets that show today’s target and how many I’ve completed so far.

This is my 4th year, I’m surprised it hasn’t got them yet.

### 2/5 — Banking push ups

*2025-06-05, version 1.19.2*

When banking push ups, the new update is not accurately scrolling around the circle and is much harder to control compared to previous years. Why has this changed? Why mess with it?

### 1/5 — App doesn’t go past logo opening screen

*2026-06-04, version 1.23.7*

Either get server error, or an endless loop of the app logo. Web page works, app is useless 🤷‍♂️

### 1/5 — Can’t Open - Server Error

*2026-06-02, version 1.23.7*

I can’t open the app, used it the last couple years and it was great, tried to re-register through the app for this year and I can’t even open it, just keep getting told there’s a server error. I have seen a few other people also have the same issue please fix

### 1/5 — Server error

*2026-05-30, version 1.23.6*

Can you help me please! I have updated the app but keep getting “server error” when I open it!! I’m starting the challenge next week and want to use the app.

### 1/5 — Terrible interface

*2026-02-16, version 1.21.3*

This app needs work. The circle “bank” for pushups is awful and you can’t log as many pushups as you want, they give you a max for each day.

### 1/5 — Hard to understand

*2026-02-02, version 1.21.2*

I am trying to register my push ups before their actual start date which is February 5th but I am not able to see any records.
I am assuming that it doesn’t start till that date. Let’s try it later then

### 1/5 — Buggy app

*2026-01-08, version 1.21.0*

The app keeps giving me a blank screen and crashing.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t do its job

*2026-01-02, version 1.21.0*

I just want to count my push ups but the app fails to do it in so many ways

### 1/5 — This thing doesn’t work

*2025-06-03, version 1.19.1*

Click on the App and it just shows the push-up graphic and then shuts down

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-05-25, version 1.18.1*

Please fix. Only get white screen, removed and installed multiple times, and yes I tried turning it off and on.

### 1/5 — You had one job

*2025-02-13, version 1.13.2*

This app has one job: to track how many pushups I do over a couple of werks to reach a total of 2000. And it fails in ways that I never thought would even be possible.
The challenge is 2000 tota over the period, but in the app there's a fixed, pre-determined number for each day. 
You the user have no control over that. You cannot do more than the limit. If you do less that day, you cannot compensate the next ones. Basically you'd need to "backfill" the previous days, i.e. the app *forces* you to enter inaccurate data???

And there's no overall tracking of how many of the 2000 you've done, just % of the current day.

A pen and paper would do a better job. Utter rubbish.

To the push up challenge team, thank you so much for this wonderful opportunity. I hope that my teams money goes to a good cause

### 5/5 — Spin the wheel

*2026-06-25, version 1.23.10*

Love spinning that wheel to add push-ups. So satisfying!

### 5/5 — Dan L

*2026-06-25, version 1.23.10*

The app is like having a training partner, it holds you accountable to reach your daily targets. It also gets you doing other things between  push ups so you find yourself doing a full workout ! Very motivating. 👍
