Does a great job tracking steps. However, considering the devs don't allow manual step adjustment to prevent abuse during challenges, it seems like a massive oversight not to allow pausing the tracker to ensure no "false" steps are gained while in vehicles. My step count went up a bit while on the train for over an hour, which isn't fair to everyone else. A simple pause feature, perhaps even with a "pause for X time" option, would have prevented this.

I found this app to use for our company's summer walk challenge and it was amazing to work with. It syncs with Fitbits, Apple watches, etc and most phones. I was able to run reports to provide updates and transparency to my team. All team members were able to view each other's steps and stats. We were also able to message each other on the app to either taunt or encourage them. So happy I found the app. I also use it with my friends and family.

I really love this app. I love that you. an form group with friends and create a healthy competition. I also like to receive the stats that indicates when I was amongst the top performers (international or within Canada). All of this motivates! The only downside is the amount of ads! I would rate the app 4.5/5 (removing half a points because of the ads) but I cannot.
