Can't send comments in app, no help or support contact feature in app. Searching for contest resets Every time in app. Not all fit bands work on this app like others. There is so much wrong with this app. However, if you use your computer, the above said does not apply. Another words FIX YOUR APP! Having only one person run and answer emails, will not work and does not work for you. Get help stop being a hero and fix your dam app. Grab your phone and surf around and you will see what I'm talking about. It only took me 2 mins to find 3 issues. No, it's not my phone, others I know have said the same thing. Before you put a app live, be sure you test first, not just with computer, but with phone simply because that's what the ap is designed for. Sorry for being harsh, but it's really frustrating.

Just got the latest update that pretends to add more metrics from S Health, but now when I click the permission button nothing happens. In terms of getting the steps from S Health it doesn't work fine as I have a wearable, and I have selected that SH shows only the steps from it, but inKin shows combined number from phone and wearable, which is about double the actual number.

Managed to finally get it syncronized with s health but that was incredibly difficult and not very intuative to do. Seems to be glitchy with regards to invites and events.

I was hoping this app was going to be the golden ticket for cross platform devices. It wouldn't syn with my Samsung Health. Wouldn't change my weight from kg to lb. Just not there yet

Jerry Kreiner

I spent 3 hours trying to make this work. I'm very surprised it's rated as high as 3.9. Won't be wasting any more time.

Hi, Jerry! We're sorry you were having issues with the app:( Can you please describe the problems so that we can investigate?

Christina Follansbee 11 May 2017

Could you add veryfit for heart rate app to list of devices please?

inKin Social Fitness Platform 7 June 2017

Hi, Christina! Thanks so much for your suggestion. We are gladly adding as many devices ad possible. If you don't see a certain brand integrated with inKin, it most probably means that there is no such possibility atm:( But we will keep an eye on Veryfit. Yours, Team inKin

Jan Mill 26 March 2017

Doesn't fully support Samsung S. Says it does, but only for steps. What about the rest? Workouts, sleep etc? Was really looking forward to using this app with friends across platforms but it doesn't work.

inKin Social Fitness Platform 6 April 2017

Hi, Jan! Please bear with us, we are working on enhancing your experience. We apologize for the temporary inconvenience, Yours, Team inKin

Victoria Branham 12 March 2017

App will not send out invites for a competition I created with my family who all have different devices. They can't find my public challenge to join either! I thought this app would be perfect but at this time it is unusable.

inKin Social Fitness Platform 6 April 2017

Hi, Victoria! We are sorry to hear you've been having certain issues. Finding a public challenge is super easy. Can you please drop us a line via Intercom so we can look into it for you? Thanks for helping us make inKin better! Yours, Team inKin

Frank Cabrales 8 March 2017

The update to include Samsung is nice, but the data is innacurate. Also the process of getting the app synced with SHealth was pretty difficult.

Kalpesh Patel 7 April 2017

I have concern with below two points 1. Contest should be filtered by name 2. Contest tab on any of my kin show that he donesnt joined any contest, which is not correct, i believe the tab should list the contest he joined

inKin Social Fitness Platform 7 June 2017

Hi, Kalpesh! Thanks for bringing the kin's contests tab issue to our attention. We will investigate to see if that's the case. Yours, Team inKin

M.K. Baker 12 March 2017

Still can't connect with Samsung Shealth what a let down

inKin Social Fitness Platform 6 April 2017

Hi, M.K.! Please follow the instructions here to connect your Samsung Health:https://www.inkin.com/chatroom/help/Devices-Metrics-0/How-To-Connect-Samsung-and-S-Health-App Let us know if you need any further assistance, Yours, Team inKin

Keyna Bosch 24 June 2016

Nice design, but really needs to make it easier to interact with friends. The whole reason for me getting this app is I have friends who are on different brands of fitness devices and want to compete/duel with them. This app supposedly makes this possible but doesn't make it easy to set up at all. Perhaps look at the fit bit app competitions for inspiration.

inKin Social Fitness Platform 27 January 2017

Hi, Keyna! Thanks so much for your feedback. Can you please elaborate on the difficulties you had when connecting to your friends? This will help us to improve service in the future. Yours, Team inKin

mitchell gabe 24 February 2017

Great app but would add a couple of more devices to sync with such as shealth. It says Samsung but doesn't give your option to connect just says permissions. Second would add an option to manually update steps. It says syncs every hour but if have phone off or something would be easier to just swipe and update steps. Otherwise great and nice design.

inKin Social Fitness Platform 8 March 2017

Hi, Mitchell! We've added Samsung:) hope you'll enjoy it! Good luck with the contests. Team inKin

Tommy Parnell 17 April 2016

Pretty good The platform seems very good, the app itself feels like a work in progress, ran into a few bugs with oauth logins. Once logged in everything seems to work as intended. I can see a bright future for this app, but I think it needs a little work.

inKin Social Fitness Platform 19 April 2016

Thanks a lot, Tommy! We will keep up working and working on both web and mobile apps to make it as valuable and fun as possible :)

Allison Rhine 19 September 2016

No integration with any fitness app I use No Google Fit, no S Health, no LG Health, none of the extensive suite of UA health/activity tracking apps. A shame, because this interface and idea are so nice.

inKin Social Fitness Platform 8 March 2017

Hi, Allison! Thanks so much for your feedback. The S Health integration should be available soon! Please follow us to get the updates:) Yours, Team inKin

Samantha massey 20 March 2016

Had hopes but ... The app won't opened. All I get is an error message about connection. Disappointed! (Android galaxy note 3)

inKin Social Fitness Platform 21 March 2016

Hi, Samantha! We are so sorry to hear you had this unpleasant experience:( We are still working on the app, as it has been in beta testing. We've made few significant improvements recently, and it should be working fine now (version 1.5). Please let us know if you have any questions. Thank you for understanding, Team inKin

Zachery Preston 21 January 2017

This app is totally not compatible with S Health or Samsung Fit bands and S Watches. Totally useless unless you have a fitbit.

inKin Social Fitness Platform 27 January 2017

Hi, Zachery! Thanks so much for your feedback. The S Health integration is cooking right now and should be available soon! Please follow us to get the updates:) Yours, Team inKin

GlenAhnna Petrofski-Vijars 6 July 2016

If it worked properly This doesn't log my steps or calories or pretty much anything properly. It will only log about half of what I do if I'm lucky.

inKin Social Fitness Platform 27 January 2017

Hi, Glen! We are sorry you've had this unpleasant experience with the app. If you kindly tell us what device you are using, we'll be able to look into this. Thanks, Team inKin

Brian Bayerle 25 May 2016

App will not connect to my Fitbit. It keeps freezing up after login information added. AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge

inKin Social Fitness Platform 5 June 2016

Hi, Brian! Sorry to hear you had this issue:( Are you still having trouble connecting your Fitbit account?

Meredith Soriano 13 September 2016

Confusing I thought I would like this app but now that I'm here I can't even find people from the United States on top of the fact that it doesn't seem to be syncing with my Garmin vivoactiveHR so and it would be awesome if you can make friends and have conversations with the people that you're competing with or challenging otherwise it's just another app to add people that you don't even know from different parts of the world and nobody talking to each other waste of space on my phone UNINSTALLED

inKin Social Fitness Platform 27 January 2017

Hi, Meredith! We are sorry you've had such an unpleasant experience using the platform. We are constantly working on making it better. Hopefully, you'll reconsider in the future. Yours, Team inKin

Jason Robinson 24 March 2016

Finally everyone can complete. Great that they let most all fitness trackers compete against each other.

inKin Social Fitness Platform 19 April 2016

Thank you, Jason! See you on the platform :)

Serj Martirosyan 16 April 2016

Wow, awesome! The best fitness app!

Sirarpy Harutyunyan 21 April 2016

Love the app. It's a great app. Thank you for it. Besides it takes a little plasce in phone memory.

Shane Menshik 10 May 2016

Lacked integration with Android Wear, Google Fit, etc.

inKin Social Fitness Platform 11 May 2016

Hi, Shane! Thanks for your feedback. You are absolutely right, all these features are not available on our first version. But we will be working to enhance your experience in the future:)

Jake Cotton 14 April 2016

Great support for heaps of different fitness wearables. Would definitely recommend!

inKin Social Fitness Platform 19 April 2016

Hi, Jake! Thanks so much for your support :)

Amanda Bachman 29 April 2016

Good Works how it is supposed to on android and it's awesome it links all the fitness devices!!!

Armen Margarian 28 April 2016

AWESOME APP! Finally one that works for me and my fitness goals!

Srapionyan Hovhannes 6 April 2016

Inkin Best app ever used. Great job guys!

inKin Social Fitness Platform 19 April 2016

Thank you:)

Greta Maghaqyan 21 April 2016

It's absolutely great app for sporty people

Jakub Vítek 21 June 2016

Great concept! Widget would be most useful!!!

Tigran Vardanyan 4 April 2016

Very useful app. Thanks for innovation.

Lu Sin 20 April 2016

Great App.

spencer reynolds 10 February 2016

Great idea + motivational Great concept joining the various fitness trackers into one challenge area. No need to worry if you have a different tracking device to friends. This is one of 2 of these sites out there, that I've seen, and inKin is only one with an Android app and pulls across my stats correctly. The app is coming along well and I can monitor my challenges. Very motivational to get focus on those steps, cals, etc. Giving a 5 star rating as it works well and will revisit rating as they develop.

inKin Social Fitness Platform 19 April 2016

Thank so much, Spencer! The credit goes to all our inKin community for an exceptional help and support!

Judith Whitenight 14 February 2016

Finally an app that is for different devices I've been waiting & looking for an app like this. Being a fan of Misfit & so many others use Fitbit, ect, this allows me to compete with them too. The only reason I'm not going 5 stars is my fellow iPhone users say they go to the website not an app & there is not the app for iPhone / iPad users. I also noticed when I invited my spouse to the app we used the email link to load however no app loaded, I went into the playstore to download it then. Looking forward to improvements from the developers. Thank you.

inKin Social Fitness Platform 26 February 2016

Hi, Judith! Thank you so much for your review. We do have an iOS app as well, which is in beta testing. Please drop us a line with your email so we can add you to the beta testers list.

Andy Griffin 20 January 2016

Buggy but great concept I think it's great to have a single app to compete with your friends while maintaining your preferred band. However, the UI on this app isn't all that great and has very limited options. Also I noticed with me and my friends that we're having issues with challenges locking up and our trackers not updating. The entire app is slow and sometimes unresponsive. I will still keep using it while they work out the bugs or switch to another app simular to this comes available such as Matchup for Android.

inKin Social Fitness Platform 19 April 2016

Hi, Andy! Thanks for your constructive feedback. Has your experience improved since January? We've worked on many improvements during the past few months.

CIDTV 25 January 2016

Missing one thing + early bugs Google Fit Integration!!!! Along with some bug fixes, I'm finally able to use the app now, I recommend Facebook Integration for easier invitation of people to the platform/service!

inKin Social Fitness Platform 13 January 2016

Hi, Charles Ian! Thank you for your feedback on our alpha-version. We have fixed lots of issues, although it is still going through the testing period. And will be adding Google Fit integration later this month. Please let us know what you think, Regards, The inKin Team
