This app offers very little new compared to built in trackers. I originally downloaded so I could join my company's stair step contest. However, joining a work group requires an account, and an account required a Facebook or Google connection. To me, this is a blatant reach for personalized data, and an increased risk for data breaches. I would rather sign up via email, but that is not an option. So I'm uninstalling. This app just isn't wish the data and space it takes up for what it is.

We now support signing in with Email as well! We do not get any data from Facebook or Google other than your profile info (id, email, profile photo) and we do not share any data with them.

This is an engaging app due to the game-like experience of friendly competition to your peers or to bots (your choice). It is a help to stay on target for daily walking goals. In the unpaid version, there are ads, but I did not find them overwhelming. However, due to the excellence of the app, its simplicity, and use off-line, I have opted for the paid version.

It's really disappointing that it doesn't keep accurate step count. Several friends with apple and Android wanted to be in a friendly step competition and the android are always off. You have to get a 3rd party app to sync but that's only free for a little while. I was hoping if I paid for the app it would sync better but nope still sucks. If you could fix it I would give 5 stars but I think people should know it doesn't keep accurate step count!

Google is deprecating Google Fit, and it seems to be having some sync issues. We're integrating Health Connect to solve this, and hope to release an update soon. What wearable are you using and trying to sync, and which third party app are you using?
