The linking to the far better headspace does Not work since they changed the time windows for points so you have to use their own really bad boring mediation exercises. This means I no longer use mediation as an option on YuLife. ### 4/5 — Update 5.4 made it worse *2026-04-10, version 5.4* I can no longer scroll down far enough to play Yudoku on my IPhone SE. ### 2/5 — Menu / icons no longer usable *2025-10-03, version 4.81* On the iPhone 17 Pro, the icons in the top left and right are not usable as they’re overlaid on the time (left hand side) and signal (right hand side) so you can no longer select them. ### 2/5 — Update *2025-05-03* App is ok, however yucoin grind made harder, instead of mood monitor 1 time a week for 200 yucoin, now you have to do it everyday for 15 yucoin15x7=105… half the yucoin made and have to input everyday. Same with ‘getting to know you’ tab. Used to be 40 yucoin upon completing now 20. Also, why is there only yudoku? there should be more mind games available. Meditating and walking boring ### 4/5 — Good app mostly *2025-03-27, version 4.54.43629* You could do with creating a widget that can stay on the Home Screen or Lock Screen. ### 4/5 — Quest broken since last update *2025-01-10* I love this app but since the last update I can’t record any walking quests. It just hangs every time. Yudoku works fine but I’m trying to record a brisk walk and it just won’t do anything. It’s very motivational and a great little informal competition between work mates. Please fix this issue. Update: it’s working again after another update, thanks **Developer response:** Hey, I will make sure you can get back to your walking challenges! Drop us a message through the in-app chat and we can investigate and get this fixed. ### 4/5 — Quest broken since last update *2024-12-24* I love this app but since the last update I can’t record any walking quests. It just hangs every time. Yudoku works fine but I’m trying to record a brisk walk and it just won’t do anything. It’s very motivational and a great little informal competition between work mates. Please fix this issue ### 2/5 — Used to be good *2024-09-28* Using this app used to be really rewarding, and the extra YuPower from having dental insurance through the app was the cherry on top. Now - in the middle of a UK-wide dentistry crisis - the dental insurance product was unilaterally terminated, with no replacement (even though their website still advertises it to this day); my YuPower more than halved overnight. The promises for “more protection coming soon” vanished from the app with a recent update. And now the amount of YuCoin offered for challenges and streaks have been cut in half again. This is the opposite of rewarding for long-term habits. **Developer response:** Thanks so much for taking the time to share your thoughts. The new changes with challenges are there to encourage our community to take a well-rounded, balanced approach to their wellbeing. Although certain challenges will sometimes reward you less YuCoin, as long as you take a variety of challenges, you'll still earn the same amount for your challenges each day. We would love to have continued to offer personal dental protection, but unfortunately this policy is no longer available from our provider so we have no way of offering this protection past your anniversary date. We always try to make sure our website is up to date, but when things change, there's always a chance we miss something. We do still have our group dental offering, but if you are still seeing any mention of personal dental plans on our website please let us know where so we can get this updated asap! ### 3/5 — New points system is a joke *2024-09-27* Love the app in itself but the new points system they introduced would be a joke if it wasn’t simply a cynical attempt to to reduce what it pays out! I understand the desire to have people do a range of activities but to maintain my previous points earning I would now need to do 2, 30 minute walks nearly every day (just as we’re heading into autumn/winter months) That’s not a range of activities! ### 5/5 — Love the YuLife app! *2024-07-26, version 4.22.36787* Really keeps me motivated to complete daily healthy habits, and the customer service is fantastic. Thank you! ### 2/5 — Changed for the worse *2024-07-09* Brilliant app. A daily driver. 5 Stars!! Unfortunately a recent update has made it very hard if not impossible to get maximum coins when going on walks. This is surely to stop people getting as many coins as they used to and thus saving themselves money. NOT COOL - minus 2 Stars. Another annoyance it that when in low coverage areas it cancels the activity so you have to repeat it. Quite frustrating - minus 1 Star. I am looking forward to changing this review when these problems get fixed. **Developer response:** Hey, thanks so much for your feedback, we really appreciate you sharing your thoughts as we're always making changes to YuLife to make sure it's an app you love! As you progress through the Yuniverse, the step benchmarks change to try and challenge you and push you to achieve new goals. I appreciate that this may be quite hard for some of our users, but we will always have alternate challenges available. I'm sorry to hear there has been trouble with connectivity at times. YuLife does rely on a stable internet connection to track and record your challenges, so we'd always recommend taking challenges when you have a reliable internet connection. If you're internet does drop out, we will still sync up to reward you for all your daily steps when you're connected again for the internet. Please let us know if you have any other thoughts on YuLife, they're always very welcome! ### 5/5 — Loving it *2024-07-03, version 4.18.35907* Great fun and helpful for mental regulation ### 5/5 — YuLife *2024-05-19, version 4.12.34971* Great app keeps you fit very easy to use and follow ### 4/5 — Stimulating , enjoyable and rewarding *2024-05-12, version 4.11.34736* Stimulating, enjoyable and rewarding!!😁 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — unable to log in after update *2026-01-09, version 4.93* After the recent update in Jan’26 I am unable to log into my account, no matter which method I use ### 1/5 — Doesn’t count step correctly *2025-07-20, version 4.70.46511* When do the daily task of walking every time a will miss out on one or more challenges, beacuse this app can’t count your steps. ### 1/5 — Worthless *2025-07-01, version 4.66.45848* Had to delete as company I work for left yulife without notifying its employees. Was told to spend what coins I’d earnt and downloaded a £15 Asda voucher that I can’t use! ### 1/5 — Disappointing update *2024-10-17, version 4.34.39052* Love the app itself but really don’t like the new coins update in which I am now being punished with fewer coins for enjoying multiple meditations a day. ### 1/5 — Yu life *2024-10-10, version 4.31.38328* Used to be a great app giving coins for your hard work now they have taken coins of your repeat challenges u could pick now u have to do multi different daily challenges to get the same amount trying to force u to do different exercises daily which is not fair such a shame how this app has gone down hill taking coins of streaks and other bits on the app ### 1/5 — Yu coins *2024-10-05, version 4.31.38328* How can you all of a sudden be allowed to reduce the yu coin worth? Absolute joke this app now ### 1/5 — Should not be needed *2024-02-16, version 3.117.32203* Exploiting people’s unhappiness and helps capitalise on our need to sedate ourselves with junk. These apps do more harm than good, selling your data for vouchers, when employers should actually look after mental well-being. Embarrassing ### 1/5 — Pointless app can’t register anywhere to use it?! *2023-06-14, version 3.84.24136* Will delete ### 1/5 — Unusable *2023-03-17, version 3.72.21878* The app keeps crashing on start up. I can’t use it anymore ### 1/5 — App crashing now on startup *2023-03-16, version 3.72.21878* App was working fine until latest update unfortunately it has started crashing on startup. Shame as I was on a good streak please fix it soon YuLive. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best App for fitness and healthy lifestyle *2026-05-19, version 5.8* Keep me motivated everyday and it's actually helped me to stay healthy for lifetime :) ### 5/5 — Give it a try *2026-02-07, version 4.98* An easy to use and encourages a good routine and check in with some little perks along the way ### 5/5 — Fab App *2025-11-12, version 4.87* The app is really engaging, it’s fun earning points and has encouraged me to walk more and start meditating!! ### 5/5 — My steps and meditation *2025-07-18, version 4.70.46511* Fantastic for the health and the rewards good😁 ### 5/5 — Motivational *2025-03-15, version 4.51.43368* Helps keep me on my toes 👍 ### 5/5 — Rewarded for good habits *2024-11-29* This is a really good app with excellent ideas on tempting you to keep fit. Rewards are given to those that meet the challenges. I recommend all employers to provide this for their staff. ### 5/5 — Great! *2024-11-29, version 4.39.39739* My workplace provides us with YuLife and I do genuinely use the app almost every day to compete in yudoku daily challenges and track my steps. It’s great! ### 5/5 — Great little pocket motivator!! *2024-10-14* Wonderful little perk that also provides that extra mode of motivation in the form of Yu coin that can be redeemed for useful vouchers. Also enjoying the competitive side of seeing where in my organisation I am placed with my health and fitness activity’s. All in all being rewarded for my activity is a bonus considering I already workout out or have activities 7 days each week. Would be better if my workouts could be included and also some of the additional activities such as hikes, swims could also be incorporated as they are all tracked through my Garmin. Only down side is that sometimes the app can be a little slow at certain spots in my gym. Probably due to poor internet signal. ### 5/5 — Good fun with rewards *2024-09-22, version 4.30.38188* Keeps me motivated. Good fun with rewards. ### 5/5 — App *2024-07-30, version 4.22.36787* Decent --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
