Challenges - Compete, Get Fit

FitNow, Inc.

About this app

Get fit and compete with friends, family & coworkers with the Challenges app.

-- How It Works --
Getting started with Challenges is easy. Start by choosing between our Move More or Eat Well challenge types. Move More is a steps-focused challenge, that allows you to compete with anyone that has a phone or wearable as well. Eat Well is focused on both nutrition and movement, and gives you points for eating better. From there, you can choose between our two competition types: Team Throwdowns or Solo Smackdowns. With team challenges, join up as a team of 4 as you compete against other teams in the challenge.

-- Achievements --
The more you move, the more you’re rewarded.
Stack up your points to earn Bronze, Silver, and Gold Medals. Go for the gold!

Challenges integrates with both Google Fit and Fitbit to retrieve the data it needs to determine by how much you've just beaten all your friends. Other supported platforms are coming soon!

Ratings and reviews

The App was working great until yesterday. Now it won't sync with my FitBit. Yesterday, it showed I only had 22 point even though I had over 15K steps on my FitBit. The app showed the sync was updated. I've done every step in the help center and contacted customer service. The app wants me to use Google Fit, but I don't always have my phone on me especially at work.

I really like the idea of fitness competitions that work across many devices. But it seems Android integration does not work very well. Google fit doesn't sync at all and Fitbit kind of works but I don't get the bonus points after reaching 25 points for some reason. My friends with apple watches don't seem to have any of the problems that I have.

Doesn't sync with Google fit very well and the step count is always different. I mainly use Samsung Health to go with my Active watch and wish it could sync with that. If the Google fit app also doesn't pick up the same steps as my watch (since I don't always have my phone on me), I add them and then this app doesn't always sync with the manually added steps. Then I lose out on points and such.
