User Reviews

Users find 'A Step Ahead' motivating and fun, especially for team and family challenges that help increase physical activity. However, many note syncing issues with fitness devices, slow app performance, and step tracking inaccuracies. The app lacks customization options and effective team management features. Despite technical problems, the concept and challenge format are appreciated, with some users successfully losing weight and enjoying the competitive gameplay.

Pros

Motivational for increasing daily physical activity and step count.
Fun and engaging concept, especially for team participation and family bonding.
Supports challenges that encourage users to be more active and aware of their fitness levels.
Medals and rewards provide additional motivation to continue usage.
Responsive and helpful support team resolving connectivity issues.

Cons

App has frequent syncing issues with various devices, especially Samsung watches and Fitbit, requiring third-party apps like Google Fit and Health Sync.
Performance problems including slow loading times, freezing, and UI glitches making navigation frustrating.
Limited and sometimes inaccurate step tracking, with steps often not recorded or capped wrongly.
Lack of customization like setting individual daily goals or difficulty levels for challenges.
Poor team management features such as inability to rename teams or drop non-participating members, and unfair advantages for smaller teams.

1st day of Turkey Trot (TT) had to uninstall both A Step Ahead and Google Fit. Reinstalll and still not able to record steps or sync apps. 2nd day of Turkey Trot and still not able to sync my phone with apps. Now, to add insult to injury, I can not log back in to my account. I tried resetting the password, plus the request to change the password is frozen in time. I can not access anything or anyone! It's so frustrating, I can't participate with my team, and I am the captain of my team. SMH!

Challenge is great, app is not.. The first problem was that the app does not sync with Samsung health on its own, so, being a samsung phone/watch user, I had to download Google fit and then purchase another third party app, Health Sync (they offer a one week free trial, but this challenge was 2 weeks). Next, the app is SLOW to load - my phone screen would timeout twice, waiting for it to load (I have a flagship phone that should not be slow). There's more I could say, but I've run out of space.
