User reviews

Newbie

Iโ€™m so excited to walk!!!

Still buggy

I tried to sign up and it would not accept my password even though I had a number in it ... it would say I didnโ€™t. Then I tried putting the number first in the password and it worked. The app then told me it is disabled at night? I work late nights. It then said initializing and that went on forever. I just closed the app. I actually saw the review in the IDS. I live in Bloomington and am excited to try. Thanks

Response from developer

Thank you so much for your comment and please accept my apology for the inconvenience. Our development team is working to resolve the password issue. As for the deactivation of the app during night time, this feature is actually what we intended to prevent sleep disturbances due to excessive app use at night. Also, your game time converted from walking steps resets every morning, which is also what we intended to promote 'regular' walking/physical activity participation. User guide pages present these information when you first log into the app, but you can still access to these information in the app description at the App Store. I hope you understand our nudging strategy to make people more active in a fun way. I'm very glad that you saw my article in the IDS and that you are my neighbor:)

Fun game with cardio!

Interesting game that incorporates walking into the game play for added activity. Challenging and enjoyable.

Interesting game

Interesting game with fancy pics! :)

Registering Problems

Looks like it could be a fun app, but every time I try to sign up I receive a message saying my action failed and to double check my information. Iโ€™ve tried 6 times and not even a hint as to why my information is rejected.

Response from developer

Hello, thank you for sharing your experience and sorry for my late follow-up. I completely understand how frustrating your experience was. Unfortunately, our demo version of the app had some registration bugs and your experience was apparently a part of it. We recently releases a new version which fixed the registration bug so please try that out. Your satisfaction matters for us so I hope you would find our app fun and enjoyable. Please don't hesitate to reach out to us at iuapa2018@indiana.edu if you have more questions. Thank you for understanding.
