Paying to invade others privacy is kind of psychotic

I rarely get sketched out or have privacy concerns since there’s basically no such thing as privacy these days. However — the premium function allowing you to view anybody’s profile and see how may steps somebody took on a random day 4 years ago was enough for me and my friends to abandon this app. It’s also very strange and sketchy that when you download the app it automatically populates your first and last name and your location. Basically automatically doxing you.

You should be able to opt out of people paying to see your information- no matter how insignificant it may seem. This app is blatantly selling it.

Brad

App does not work correctly for all challenges

Premium required

It’s paid only if you want to compete with anyone even for steps per day

School Step Challenge

We have been using this app for a staff step challenge, and it has been awesome. The set up for the challenge was easy and the developers have been very responsive to a few requests.

On Track

I was so frustrated trying to get my steps recorded. Thank you for getting on my profile to see the error of my ways. No way I could have figured that out! You rock!!

Amazing App + Outstanding Support

I’ve been using Strive for my step and activity challenges, and it has been awesome. The app is easy to use, and I love the different challenge types, I have a step, excercise and body fat % challenge going with my friends.
What really stood out, though, was the incredible support. I ran into an issue with one of my challenges, and they responded quickly, and got everything resolved right away.
I don’t do reviews very often (if at all) but wanted to thank the great support!

This is great app to help challenge family

We have just started using the app and it’s great so far
It’s helping us as a family to loose weight

Great Customer Service

We love the app and being able to compete against friends and family for motivation to workout. When there was an issue with the competitions we created after emailing customer service they responded and corrected the issue within 48 hours. Incredible considering most applications you never even get a response back. Highly recommended this app.

Amazing app for friendly competitions

Love the app and that it “strives” to keep a friendly and fair competition amongst friends/ colleagues who like to stay active.

Appreciate the customer service too. It will be nice if more fitness trackers get compatible with this app. Looking forward to future updates.

Amazing app for friendly competitions… however the subscription changed significantly

I love the app and hence subscribed back in July, when annual subscription was just $10. I ended up referring my friends who also joined and subscribed. However, recently another friend tried to subscribe as she had a Fitbit, the subscription went up three times and its now $30 annually. Tried reaching support for help, but no response.

Fun competition!

I had a lot of fun and was motivated to walk further than I would have otherwise!

Measuring goals

I really enjoy this app. It allows you set goals and see your progress in real time. You can join different challenges and engage with like minded individuals.

The loss of Fitbit group challenges brought me here

This has been the closest app I’ve found that is similar to the Fitbit group competitions. Apple only offers person to person competitions, no group ones, and Fitbit no longer does group challenges. Here we’re able to compete in our groups like we would way back when Fitbit still did group challenges and it’s the best way to stay motivated. 10/10 recommend if you’re looking for something similar.

Fun and motivating

Great app! Every month my family and I do a new challenge- step challenge, exercise minutes etc.
It makes exercising fun and motivating for us all.

Great!

Such a good way to find workouts and connect with others

Why is it not in google store

It gets one star because it’s not in google store

Glitch

I do weekly step challenges on this app and by the 2nd to last day the app starts to glitch. This happens every week without fail not showing correct data. It’s unfortunate because this app has the potential to be great if they fixed the bugs.

Support nonexistent

Tried to host a group contest for work. App only works if they have an iPhone. Tried manual entry of workouts and it doesn’t count it towards their goal. Waste of 50 dollars. Support email doesn’t respond.

Really enjoying this app.

The competition element of this app has been really good for motivating me to work harder.

Doesn’t work

I,along with my adult family, paid to use this app so we can compete against each other. It has been 3 weeks and after a lot of going back and forth with customer service, we just can’t get this to work. Our smart scales register our measurements and they sync with our heath app, but it does not sync with strive. All our data from our watches sync over, like steps, exercise, but we can’t get our weight to sync. We have to manually input the data. All permissions are toggled yes, Bluetooth is enabled. Out of 4 of us, we can’t get our weight to sync. My son is a computer engineer and he can’t figure it out. I do not recommend.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback and review. We’ve investigated this issue and we believe we’ve fixed this. If you have time please redownload the Strive app and try again. We hope you consider using Strive again for weight loss challenges with you and your family.
