Must subscribe to create private challenges, which is annoying because random people join challenges meant for friends. ### 2/5 — It ok *2026-06-10, version 3.0.2* I wish we weren’t limited people I have more than 10 friends??? ### 2/5 — It’s ok *2026-06-09, version 3.0.2* Works is a good step tracking app. I got ripped off on the cyber coins when I had 30,000 coins and then got a new phone and I couldn’t collect them. The miles that you rack up don’t seem to add up too much for prizes. It would be so much better if you gave away Amazon gift cards, and that type of thing when you reach certain plateaus, such as 30,000 coins rather than entering draws for them. It’s like trying to win the lottery, never happens. ### 3/5 — Not able to connect to Fitbit *2026-05-17* After logging in Fitbit and selecting allow, there is some error. I got the message on screen- "Oops. There was a problem with your request. Our engineers are looking into it." I need help with this. You can connect with me if more details needed. Please resolve this. URL was - app.stridekick.com/oauth/failure#_=_ ### 4/5 — Plz return online *2026-04-02, version 2.30.19* Pretty good but could be better. Recently changed from online web access to mobile only. 😞. Liked it much better when I could access my account and friends with my Mac. ### 4/5 — Reasonably good *2026-03-31, version 2.30.17* Not a 5-star because as of today, it’s only mobile only! I much prefer to participate on my computer (Mac). I hate typing on a tiny screen. Secondly changes are not well communicated nor issues addressed. Once upon a time there were more choices for challenges and for varying lengths of time and reasonable number of participants. But much of this has been commercialized through paid subscription! ### 5/5 — My favorite health app *2026-03-09, version 2.30.12* Addicted to the challenges and daily gamification to keep me motivated every day! Loving the new product marketplace for wellness products as well! ### 5/5 — Great App *2026-03-09, version 2.30.12* I enjoy being able to join challenges with friends. It has motivated me to increase my daily steps. ### 5/5 — Stridekick is awesome! *2026-03-09, version 2.30.12* I use this app with my friends and its sooooo easy to create fun challenges. Also love that we all have different watches/fitness devices. They always have new updates too, which is pretty cool. ### 5/5 — Super fun and motivational! *2026-03-09, version 2.30.12* Wow! We sure are loving this app! The challenges are great and keep you motivated! Because of this, I went from walking 10k steps a day to over 20k! And I can see the results!!! What a great, easy to use way of staying motivated! ### 5/5 — Love it! *2026-03-09, version 2.30.12* Stridekick is a great way to keep track of my daily steps and goals. I have been loving this to create challenges that keeps us motivated and on track. Highly recommend! ### 3/5 — Stop the public challenge *2026-03-08, version 2.30.12* Make challenge private ### 4/5 — Great app *2026-03-07, version 2.30.12* Love this app, use it daily, I also love the challenges but I am disappointed that your challenges aren’t by invite only when only a few. This app became popular as many of us wanted the challenges Fitbit stopped when Goggle took over. That made this app, as did all the small groups. Now those challenges are open to anyone:( ### 2/5 — Strangers can now join any private group *2026-03-07, version 2.30.12* The free version of this app now allows strangers to join your friend challenge whenever they like. They can insert themselves in your chat too. After years of walking with the same female friends, the app added a paywall and we get random men joining and commenting. This has effectively stopped the group from walking together or using the app to communicate. ### 5/5 — Good for Nine Friends *2026-03-07, version 2.30.12* I organize a weekly Monday-Friday walk challenge with friends after Fitbit dropped the ability to do so with their app. You have to pay to make it private so every now and then a stranger joins which is weird but otherwise it works well. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — OWNERS ARE TOXIC *2026-06-15, version 3.0.3* Maria claims to have over ONE MILLION users on this app! 🤣 Tell her to prove that fact! She CAN’T. The OWNERS also are giving this app “5 Stars”!! 🤡 It”s about greed and $$$.. ZERO stars now. They steal your personal info and scammers are EVERYWHERE. DO NOT download this app; cybersecurity is an issue with these people! HORRENDOUS APP !!! 🤬 ### 1/5 — Stridekick still allowing randoms to join *2026-05-25, version 2.31.4* Stridekick still allowing randoms to join even though they do no steps and don’t sync. So disappointing!!! Challenges being ruined by them joining . ### 1/5 — Doesn’t connect to garmin *2026-04-07, version 2.30.19* Doesn’t connect to garmin ### 1/5 — Make Private *2026-03-16, version 2.30.14* It’s annoying having other people join ### 1/5 — Fix tech support *2026-03-02, version 2.30.11* The engineer has been looking into why garmin won’t connect for months now supposedly. At least that’s the stupid error message that pops up everything single time I try over the last few months. When you click on support there’s an error message. Nothing but error messages. Steps do not match apple health or garmin watch steps. Inaccurate reporting. ### 1/5 — randoms can join your challenges *2026-02-13, version 2.30.9* loved this app until they changed it to let all challenges be public and allow random people to join your challenges. and the only way to prevent this is to pay them. SO DUMB ### 1/5 — MAKE PRIVATE CHALLENGES *2026-01-14, version 2.30.2* I wanted a fitness challenge app to use with my friends since we don’t all use an Apple Watch. We can’t even start our first challenge because it caps you at 10 and a whole bunch of randoms join and skew your data. It sucks all the fun out. Maybe I would be willing to pay but I can’t even trial it! It’s getting DELETED. Just greed. ### 1/5 — Spam! *2026-01-11, version 2.30.2* I wish SK would let challenges be set up so no one is allowed to join unless they have been INVITED!!! We have spammers or bots joining private challenges. They take up a spot that someone else could be taking. I have over 30 friend requests and they don’t have any syncing whatsoever. SK fix these issues or I’m leaving your platform. I’ve reported over 100 accounts and they never get reviewed by your developers or customer care team, it’s like you don’t care. FIX THESE ISSUES NOW!!! ### 1/5 — Bring Back Free Private Challenges *2026-01-11, version 2.30.2* Please bring back to free private challenges. We shouldn't have to pay to create private challenges. May of us have fixed incomes and don't want strangers in our challenges. ### 1/5 — To see my friend, friends is an issue is manufacture *2026-01-05, version 2.30.1* To see my friend, friends is an issue is manufacture ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Walk it off *2026-06-27, version 3.0.7* Having fun with family and friends getting our steps in. ### 5/5 — Fun and easy! *2026-06-24, version 3.0.7* Great app, so fun and easy to use. So happy my employer offers this year round! ### 5/5 — Employee review *2026-06-02, version 2.31.4* Great app!! And very useful for getting active! ### 5/5 — Corporate Partnership *2026-05-28, version 2.31.4* We are partnering with StrideKick for a monthly wellness challenge to boost employee engagement. The team at SK have been fabulous to work with. They have answered all of my questions along with provided resources to share with our company. The app itself is very user friendly and intuitive. I really appreciate the customization abilities of the challenges we can host. I highly recommend this for both personal and business use. ### 5/5 — Must Have *2026-05-23, version 2.31.4* One of the best fitness apps out! ### 5/5 — Good walking *2026-05-14, version 2.31.3* Great way to keep track of your steps! Good app! ### 5/5 — Inspiration *2026-04-01, version 2.30.18* I have met some great people on this app. When I need some motivation someone always gives the gentle push. I am so thankful for this app ### 5/5 — Move More Challenges *2026-03-27, version 2.30.17* I’m grateful for the ability to collaborate with coworkers while competing, all while accomplishing the same goals. To stay healthy. This helps keep me motivated with reminders on my standing. ### 5/5 — My activity pal *2026-03-15, version 2.30.14* I was a longtime user of Fitbit but they decided to close out many challenges and became a lot less enjoyable so I switched to STRIDEKICK instead and I was impressed. The app is easy to use and does everything that I need, thanks Stridekick ### 5/5 — Walking Challenge *2026-03-12, version 2.30.14* Thank you for providing group challenges so that we can stay active and motivated in our wellness journey! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
