Ratings and reviews

I really enjoy all the features of the app and that it's all free too. Sometimes there's weird bugs/glitches but minor for the most part. One thing that slightly annoys me is how sensitive it is to switch between data pages in an activity. For instance, if you swipe left or right even slightly it will go to the page over in that direction. But to swipe up or down you have to be more deliberate.

The app has been consistently great for our family steps challenges until recently. Our Androids haven't been able to open the app. When it does allow us to move around, the sleep is nearly impossible to find and past challenges get filtered to the archive. Moving to a new section means it will take 20 min to load. I've tried rebooting, reinstalling, and positive thoughts. Suggestions??

Pretty solid app. Lots of data. My only qualm is navigating around the app. For instance, you have one version of settings that's accessible through the ellipses in the bottom nav bar, and also a device settings accessible through the top app bar by clicking on your device. I think you guys need to consolidate this into a single settings menu, and branch off through there.

What's new
