Ratings and reviews

The overall concept is neat, tying fitness to interest rate. As an avid runner, its even more incentive to run on a regular basis, and build up step count on off days by other means. The one major issue is the erratic behavior of the daily updating of step count. I use a garmin device and I've seen the app get 2-3 days behind, and then "catch up" overnight. During the day, it is truly hit or miss as to whether the app will come anywhere close to showing current steps, or, be several hours behind, or, not show any steps at all. The response I got when I contacted the Fitness Bank support team is they lay the blame on the Garmin API, which I struggle with. I've used other apps that integrate with Garmin, and don't have those same issues. I find it hard to believe the Fitness Bank App is so unique, and their code so perfect, that its all the fault of the Garmin API.

The app has terrible step tracking and syncing and as a result, is cheating me out of my monthly step goals. I will walk well over 10,000 steps daily, tracked by multiple apps including the supported ones and this app will usually only pick up about a third of them, or sometimes none at all. I'd easily give this a 5 star rating if tracking was accurate, but it isn't close so far.

Concept is nice. I was going to sign up but decided not to when I looked at the most recent APY listed. So to my knowledge, the range is .10% (for doing nothing) - 3.00% APY. So I'm assuming it's more like 1-3% if you use the app correctly. I currently have 3.00% and get random boosts up to 5% without working out lol
