Still like the concept, but clearly the devs don’t listen to feedback so docking a star! Good concept and generally easy to use. I don’t think the rewards are very good, and I’m not really interested in them anyway. However, there are a couple of changes that could be made to make it even better. First, why is there no Garmin integration? The only options for syncing are your iPhone or Apple Watch. Also, the function to suggest a local gym for partnerships doesn’t work. I type in the gym name and hit the submit button, and nothing happens. ### 4/5 — Great concept! *2022-09-18, version 2022.20.0* I love this app and all that they stand for! I think it’s super cool! I would just say that it would be cool to be able to connect your Garmin watch to the app. I don’t have an Apple Watch or a Fitbit since I use A Garmin watch, so right now I have to sync it with my iPhone, but I don’t always carry my phone on me to show I get 10,000 steps. So I would say the only improvement would be to enable you to connect more than just an Apple Watch or Fitbit. ### 2/5 — Restaurants don’t honor credits *2022-05-28, version 2022.20.0* I’ve been using this app for over a year. I have accrued many credits and rarely used them. However every time I have tried to use them the featured restaurants’ employees have no idea about their partnership with this app and will not honor the offer. I experienced an extremely rude and argumentative manager at Tocaya (one of the only restaurants in partnership with Vizer near me) who refused to acknowledge this partnership despite me showing her the screen where this is very clearly spelled out. I start to wonder if meals are even being donated when I use this app. Why is this information not being passed down to employees that are supposed to be dealing with this simple transaction? I’ve reported this issue in the app every time it has happened and have received zero response or acknowledgment. ### 5/5 — Vizer *2021-11-19, version 2021.41.0* I started using this app for the month of November through Orange Theory Fitness! For every workout I do this month I can donate a meal through the app (& I work out A LOT) 🙌🏻 it feels so great to put my workout towards something other than letting off some steam. I’m going to keep using this app past the month of November and donate meals for those who need them. Great app & great concept. ### 4/5 — Good but fix notifications *2021-11-01, version 2021.41.0* I like the app generally, think the purpose and donation is great, and the notification I get asking whether I’ve met my goals and to remind me to donate if so is perfectly. But I hate that whenever I personally go to open the app because I DO already have 30 minutes or 10K steps, it then sends me a notification after the fact - “congrats on hitting X, open the app to donate”. And I get 1-2 of those in a row. It’s like, yes, I got it, that’s why I opened the app in the first place so why are you sending me these messages now? It’s a useless notification and pretty annoying. I use a Fitbit if that helps. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! We're away of the notification bug and it will be resolved very soon. We appreciate your support. ### 5/5 — Super easy way to help someone out *2021-10-19, version 2021.41.0* I happened across the Vizer app and downloaded it immediately. That was six days ago and I’ve already donated seven meals. All it took to begin this giving streak was sync my fitness tracker to the app and hit either 10k steps or 30 active minutes. Easy! The app works great and I love that my activity can help someone get a nourishing meal. Give it a try! ### 5/5 — Workout motivation and Helping others *2021-09-23, version 2021.38.0* I just learned about this company and my experience so far is fantastic. When a participant works out 30 minutes or 10,000 steps, a company donates a meal through Feeding America to someone in need. What a fabulous concept. I am so happy to participate and it has given me a little extra motivation to get my workouts in. I shared this with one of the trainers at the YNCA where I work out and she signed up and is going to share with her clients too. The company had reached out to me several times since I started and made me feel like part of a great community too. I highly recommend participating. ### 5/5 — BEST APP!! *2021-09-20, version 2021.33.0* I have been using Vizer for a while now (almost 300 meals donated!) and I am obsessed! I tell everyone who will listen to download the app, I think it’s such an amazing concept that I truly believe in. I’m a nurse and most of us hit 10k steps on a normal work day so why not give back to our community in the process. I’ve been through many updates with Vizer and the app keeps getting better and better. The “current streak” feature always motivates me to get a workout in when I’m feeling lazy. My only suggestion is to broaden the places to redeem the points. It seems like most options are in north county and I live all the way in la Mesa so I always forget to use those points. But it always seems like they are adding new sponsors so I love that. Thanks vizer! ### 5/5 — Good karma motivation! *2021-08-22, version 2021.33.0* Who doesn’t to do a little extra good in their community? Vizer makes it easy- one click and I can donate a meal locally, just by doing my regular workout at home. You can also get credit/donate a meal by walking 10,000 steps over the course of the day, if you’re not the workout type. For all of us who want to do some good in the world but don’t always have the time to volunteer, this is an easy yes. ### 5/5 — I Iove Vizer! *2021-07-12, version 2021.28.0* A friend shared with me about the Vizer app because she knows I love to be active and walk. I try to reach at least 10,000 steps a day. Having the opportunity to do that and donate a meal fits right in with my mission in life, being a health and wellness advocate! So, of course, I jumped at the opportunity. It gives me the motivation to get my steps in and stay active everyday. I have shared with several people who also thought this was a great idea! Thank you, Vizer, for creating this! I love it!! ## Frequently asked questions about Vizer ### What does Vizer do?
