Extremely disappointed
This app only tracks your workout if you manually open it, which is ridiculous for something that’s supposed to run automatically. I was in a 30-day challenge with money on the line, and I was winning the entire time. On the very last day, I forgot to open the app, even though I DID the workout and surprise: it wasn’t counted.
I “lost” the challenge and lost actual money, despite having completed everything.
This isn’t just frustrating, it’s unfair. An app that costs money and promotes challenges should not punish users for something so small, especially when there’s proof the workout was done. If you’re joining challenges, be warned: one forgotten tap can cost you the win.
Do better.

Unusable app
I spent an hour trying to create a profile and log into the app. Couldn’t get it done. I put in my name and email address. It loaded a password for me that I went in and had to try and change. I successfully set a password, but the app would not allow me to view any data. Create any profile particulars or find any groups that I wanted to join. I’m done with this mental exercise.
Horrible Update
The most recent update made it so you can’t backlog your workouts, only log a workout the day of. Sometimes we forget to log yesterday’s workout and want to get credit for it, but now we can’t do that. I’ve enjoyed this app up until now. My friends and I will not be using this app going forward until this issue is fixed.
Apple sync
Sync with Apple Watch it seems like I have to import each workout instead of it doing it by itself?
Does Not Give Option To Sign In
I created an account on my Android and when I went to sign in on my iPod it only gave the option to create an account. I would like to sign into the account I created not create a new account. Please help in this matter
Bogus app
I was excited when I was looking into fitness competition apps and found this one. Once I signed in then nothing but a calendar. No where to add specific workouts for the challenge. No where to create a point system amongst friends to score the competition. Just a basic somewhat useless app. Their friends must have given this 5 stars because it’s definitely nowhere close to being that. Don’t bother.
Challenges are nice, but import is lacking
Trying to import workouts from Apple Health, but the date is a non-editable field. If you’re going to have multi-day challenges, they should be based on how much physical activity participants undertake (which is supposed to be the point, right?) not on how many participants happened to remember to import their steps by 11:59 pm on any given day
