### 1/5 — Paying to invade others privacy is kind of psychotic

*2026-05-02, version 1.0.61*

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.

### 2/5 — Brad

*2026-04-09, version 1.0.61*

App does not work correctly for all challenges

### 1/5 — Premium required

*2026-02-10, version 1.0.61*

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

### 5/5 — School Step Challenge

*2026-01-16, version 1.0.59*

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.

### 5/5 — On Track

*2026-01-13, version 1.0.59*

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!!

### 5/5 — Amazing App + Outstanding Support

*2026-01-08, version 1.0.59*

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!

### 5/5 — This is great app to help challenge family

*2026-01-05, version 1.0.59*

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

### 5/5 — Great Customer Service

*2025-11-15, version 1.0.59*

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.

### 5/5 — Amazing app for friendly competitions

*2025-10-11, version 1.0.59*

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.

### 3/5 — Amazing app for friendly competitions… however the subscription changed significantly

*2025-10-09*

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.
