Challenges and Points

The Challenges App is very motivating and I participate in several Challenges every month. Now and then when maximum points are achieved the next day points disappear and are not always retrieved by syncing. Filing a ticket is useless, the reply blames your other apps. You have to increase move points above and beyond the required threshold to avoid getting your points stolen by the app. One (1) point loss can put you way behind in a competitive group challenge where 20 or more have perfect scores. If your progress is not recorded in the Activity App it won’t be in Challenges either. If your watch and phone Activity App isn’t syncing that can be troublesome. I have had to find and use a variety of troubleshooting methods to stay in sync and avoid losing points. 1geraldine

Disappointing

LoseIt! has apparently dropped support for in-app challenges, replacing it with this Challenges app. Unfortunately it appears that some of the best (most motivating) features did not carry over. It compounds other issues in LoseIt like the fact that even “verified” foods are often incorrect. In LoseIt, the challenge showed WHAT points were earned for. So if for example “spinach” was not counting toward veg points, it was possible to choose a different “spinach” option that did count. This was annoying but at least allowed users to get the points that help motive them to eat plenty of fruit and veg. In this new app, there does not appear to be any detail. So a key motivator for many users has vanished. So, so, so disappointing. I’ve used the LoseIt app since it was first launched and saw it develop in really wonderful ways. But in the last couple of years it gets less and less useful, and this new Challenges app is unfortunately part of that decline.

Game Changer

This App has basically changed my life. I am a participant in WW (formerly known as Weight Watchers). Although many of the uninformed think of WW as a mere diet— the reality is it is a lifestyle choice. It’s not just what you eat but how you think about eating. And it’s also about staying active. That’s where your App comes in. I have the Apple Watch and iPhone, but these tools really spring to life when you connect them with the Challenges App. Every month I compete with about 10 other WW members in all parts of the United States and we have a blast. I never win, but that’s not the point. I try to close my rings every day to stay competitive. It’s addicting. The only improvement I would request is to integrate FitBit into the App for my WW friends who prefer that device to the Apple Watch. I’ve noticed there is a link to that in the settings and I have asked a few folks to try it out since I don’t own a Fitbit. I’m looking forward to the possibility of adding them into the next Challenge. Thanks again for this amazing App.

Means well

This app means well but lately I have been having issues with the way they do the point system. I set my goal which is different to the one that is used per day for the week using the watch. I almost closed that move circle on the 22nd of February of the year of 2022. Meaning I almost burn 1,000 calories for the move circle. In challenge the move goal is 430 calories. Before going to bed it claimed I maxed out the points when I view the history they took points away from me for no reason what so ever. It can be fun to use but they don’t seem to be honest about what you earn! And I have proof that it actually happens where they are taking away points for no reason. I have seen this company try to restore the points only to have them taken away again. I have taken screenshots of everything as proof of this company running the app doing this. I have the proof.

Needs a few tweaks

I really like the idea of being able to create and join challenges with my friends to keep me motivated. There are a few things I’d like to see added in future updates:1- I’m not sure why it only allows you to have four people on a team. I’m guessing it’s to keep things fair amongst all the groups in the challenge. My suggestion would be to leave the group size open and then allow groups of the same size to compete with one another. 2- My second issue kind of ties into the first one. Since I can only create teams of four, I can’t be in a group with all of my friends. This would be fine if I could just join multiple groups. Since I can’t do that, I have to encourage my friends to create their own teams, which can be confusing for people that have never used the app before.

Needs a lot more flexibility

I REALLY wish that the competition metric could be set to steps or calories instead of points for closing rings. The concept of rings is too abstract. Why do competitions use a 370 calorie daily goal, and why is this not adjustable? You should be able to edit the name and description of teams and challenges after creating them. Names and descriptions should also be optional. The requirement to have teams is confusing in competitions with just a few people. There should be a way to search for challenges or to make a challenge public so that others can join without being explicitly invited (they would still need to be approved).Update: Fantastic! My friends and family and I have all switched to Rove but Rove doesn’t send any notifications so it’s not very motivating for us. My crew will be anxiously awaiting a step challenge app that can send us a ton of notifications throughout the day. I haven’t used the Fitbit app in several years but it sent the notifications that we’re wanting. E.g. “Matt just took the lead! Go get some steps!”

It was all fun until…..

The latest update seems to be causing all kinds of problems. Several people in our challenge can’t get their points to reflect steps even though the app shows they have the steps. We’ve tried to sync data, signing out and back in, uninstalled and reinstalled, turned off permissions and turned them back on. It’s become a pain to try and figure out. What once was a fun way to motivate one another to get moving has become a source of frustration and disappointment. Not sure what was broken, but I sure hope you fixed it because if we’re having these kinds of issues and the original issue wasn’t taken care of then what was it all for?!

Love It - highly motivating!

I joined a team of strangers using this app a year and a half ago. That first team didn’t work out - two of the women weren’t serious about exercising and consistently wouldn’t close their exercise rings which frankly was highly frustrating for me when I was trying so hard to make sure to get my rings closed. My message here would be if this happens to you don’t give up! Try a different group until you find a group that works for you because in my experienceI I almost deleted the app but thankfully after a few tries I found three other women that have become not only my teammates in exercise but in life. I never want to let them down so I make sure to do my exercise to close my challenge rings every day. I have never in my entire life worked out every single day but because of this app and my friends that I’ve met through it I do. If you are looking for motivation to work out every day this is it and I highly recommend it!

Trouble syncing data from previous days.

I did a couple of late night workouts and noticed that my iPhone Activity App (to which this App syncs) tally for move (calories) and exercise (minutes) did not match what was in this app. It fails to update the data for any activity that happens between the last sync of the day and midnight. In other words, if it syncs at 11:40 pm, and again at 12:01 am, the activity that occurred between 11:40 and midnight is not updated in this App, no matter how many times I try to sync. Now that I am aware of this issue, I will manually sync just before midnight when I am working out late at night. However, it would be nice to see this issue addressed in future updates.

Getting better

Dec 1, 2020: I’ve been using for many months now a d it’s working better each time. It helps once you get the hang of it. Would love to see it allow more than four people. Also it would be nice to have a challenge where the goal was to close all the rings and it tallied that instead of points. This is fun for variety. This was original review: Created one challenge for closing the rings and it worked pretty good. The instructions to do so are less than ideal and quite confusing and cumbersome. But, I’m slogging through and trying to give it a good try. I tried the nutrition challenge and couldn’t get it to work. Never could get the meals to synchronize from LoseIt to Challenges. With some work this could be a very nice app.
