Ratings and reviews

I used to love this app, used it for years, but it hasn't worked all year. I figured out that it only works if the app is open to the activity page and the screen is on the whole time. I'm missing 700 biking miles this year. It doesn't sync with Strava. Now, it's started randomly recording miles when I didn't even open the app or do any activity. 6 of the last 10 days, it's recorded .01-.12 miles I "did". I feel like it's spying on me. Customer service doesn't care. Time to delete this garbage.

Removed a star because apps should improve over time, not fall apart. Great concept, but there are aggravating issues that weren't there years ago. Pledging is a pita, I won't try that again; miles track inaccurately by a lot; and if it glitches while trying to share, (which is what sponsors want us to do), you're out of luck.. One try, and if it doesn't work, too bad. I used to be able to click on the walk in my history and still share. Now I have several long walks I was not able to share.

Not accurate. It doesn't do anything (on my phone anyway) to detect motion. It's just timed. So, if you tell it you're going for a walk but just sit there, it racks up mileage you didn't walk. Worse, even if you are walking or running, it adds mileage much too fast, as if you're an Olympic sprinter. With motion detection, as in Google Fit and other apps, this would probably be very useful, but it isn't a good app yet.
