Review summary

Users appreciate the app's concept of motivating walking through challenges and rewards, and its usefulness in certain programs. However, most reviews criticize its poor and inaccurate step detection, the necessity to keep the app open or the screen on for proper tracking, frequent lags and slow performance, and loss of counted steps or progress resets. Users also desire integration with smartwatches or phone health apps to ensure reliable step counting.

Pros

Encourages people to walk and participate in challenges
Offers a variety of gifts and challenges to motivate users
Has potential usefulness for specific programs, such as MOE in Saudi Arabia

Cons

Poor step detection and inaccurate step counting
Requires the app to be open or screen on for steps to be counted
Lags, slow loading, and unreliable performance
Steps get reset or unsynced frequently, losing progress
No integration with phone health apps or smartwatches to improve accuracy

2025-01-04	Ha*****	The step detection is bad. I lost a challenge even though I walked for more than 30 minutes. It only registered 51 steps while the app was in the background. Steps should be counted even if the app is close using fit sync or any other way

2024-04-27	ha*****	Honestly It's a good app I like the idea of the app encouraging people to walk and all but it's so laggy. Every time I try and open it I have to wait 10 minutes for it to load even though my internet is great It also keeps resetting my steps and after I download the update It just won't open it keeps loading forever.
