About this app

Band together to improve your fitness by competing in a group challenge. Enlist friends, family, teammates, colleagues, or whoever, to become gym rats. More effective than a simple step challenge, the goal is to workout more often; any activity counts.

-How it works-

* Create or join a group challenge
* Invite as many people as you'd like
* Post workouts to the group
* Keep doing that, a lot
* See leader board and have fun competing

-Flexibility-

The app is free form and allows for creating your own rules of competition. Score by total number of workouts, miles, minutes, calories, steps, or come up with your own point system. All that's required for a workout is a photo and a title. The photo can be of the gym equipment, a sweaty selfie, a screenshot of another app, or whatever your group deems acceptable.

-Accountability-

Don't care about score? No problem, the app can be used as a general group activity log. Keep each other accountable by having a shared space for tracking workouts.

Ratings and reviews

The app is really good, but I've found one issue that is really annoying. Trying to comment on an activity makes the keyboard overlap with the text area, which makes it impossible to read what you're typing.

Cannot read data from health apps, I tried installing Google Fit, FitBit, and Garmin yet, GymRats is unable to read data from Health Connect to record a check-in. When I open the health apps I clearly see the data, I have accepted all the right permissions and in the logs, I see that GymRats accesses data from Health Connect but it shows the message "No activities from Health Connect yet..."

The idea is pretty good but it keeps crashing often, and with bugs that should be really easy to fix like when you try to use emojis and sometimes errors like "system failure" or "time out"

What’s new

Just your standard experience tweaks and bug fixes: Photo time extraction now available, check-in location is now a map, duh, plus you get those satisfying ripple effects on buttons. Poses settings got a screenshot preview, and we squashed bugs with what's new screen, photo crashes, team removal from clubs, translations, and Samsung Health text.
