WayBetter Secret to Motivation

Buyer beware. If you don’t explicitly login to the app and make sure you’re logged in, sometimes needing to close and restart a couple of times and/or login multiple times, the app will not register your activity. And even if you message them proving that you completed the activity to complete the challenge, if for some reason you don’t go through the gauntlet of opening and closing the app multiple times to assure it registers, then you cannot win. So if you’re a busy professional, working to get your activities in - in between a gajillion other things, like meetings and errands and you don’t jump through their app login hoops, but yet you have actually completed the activities AND jumped through the hoops 9 out of 10 times, yet miss logging in to this glitchy app, then you will not be able to win the challenge It is absurdly frustrating and BS. If you can prove you completed the activity, regardless of jumping through their hoops, you should be able to win. You pay them for the app, you complete the challenge. You should win the challenge. Period. There are other apps out there that don’t require you to log on and off and on again multiple times. They just beautifully sync with your trackers.

EDIT: I have thought a lot about this and decided that I am going to re-subscribe. There really isn’t anything else like it that motivates me on a consistent basis. And, I was probably just salty that my app didn’t sync. That being said, I didn’t lose that challenge. I just had to workout an additional couple of days to get it. 💪 —— I’ve used WayBetter for a long time and really wanted to keep loving it, but the syncing issues have made the app too frustrating to stick with. Even when you do meet your challenge goals, you can still end up losing money if the app doesn’t sync your workout on the exact day — even when you have proof you completed it. The concept is great, but until the tracking becomes more reliable (and the exceptions more reasonable), it’s hard to recommend.

One thing I really love about way better is the accountability to engage in healthy habits. It keeps me active and off the couch, and there are also nutrition and good habit challenges to support health and productivity. I have been consistently exercising, cooking, eating veggies, expressing gratitude, and decluttering my house through challenges (to name a few) - all things that help me develop good habits and keep promises to myself. I highly recommend waybetter to others who want to build and maintain healthy habits.
